10. His media handlers have decided these selective, shouted encounters count as official communiques

along with such obvious lying titles as "FACT SHEETS: President Donald J. Trump is Defending Our Sovereignty and Constitutional Rights From the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty" ("Fact?"

Fuck me, he's arming Mohammed Bone Saw, and he thinks that's "responsible". The only thing it's responsible for is making him money.)
