This is a brilliant recap of what should have every American scared beyond belief. You made sense of the senseless. I'm still waiting for the GOP to declare the emperor has no clothes. A few are questioning the emperor's taste in clothing but no one will declare he's gone the full monty.

I rarely watch run as he makes me sick. I do read reports of what he says which as you point out Mary are useless and baseless. I did watch a snippet at the end of this interview and was totally appalled by his attitude and behavior. This is what we have for the President of the United States?? We should all be hanging our heads in shame that this is happening. The worst part is he’s not alone as the grotesquely stupid hogsbrest shows us all the time.

My Dear Mr. President:

Walking out of your live interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker this day was not a sign of command or control. Or of strength.

It was simply chickensh!t.

Regards,

I honestly thought he was going to blow a gasket or reach out and shake Welker. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him look so angry. I wanted to reach out and tell him he was being rude and disrespectful. And that “ darling”! What a misogynistic creep.

When a child is confronted with a truth they might be trying to hide or avoid, a child's reaction typically depends on their age, personality, and fear of consequences. Now here are some of the most common ways children respond when put on the spot.

It starts out with “Denial and Deflection”. A child may blatantly lie to deny the obvious, even with clear evidence. Then there is the “blaming others”. Shifting the fault to a sibling, friend, or even a pet. Then comes “downplaying” to minimize the situation e.g. ”It was already broken". The physical and emotional retreat occurs as well. The clamming up, looking away or refusing to speak about any of the subject being set forth. Then comes the crying or tantrums the “melting down” due to being overwhelmed and being caught in the lie. Then it’s the physical retreat running away, leaving the room entirely to escape because they’ve been caught.

Not a leap that this also is not what was only showed as eloquently as you pointed out by your last sentence. “It produced something else: a clear picture of a man who cannot be trusted with truth, pressure, or power.” It has shown clearly we are being governed by an 80 year old petulant child, a toddler who has the emotional intelligence of a three year old that didn’t get his way and was not able to weasel his way out of a multitude of lies and deception. It’s happened his entire life and he has gotten away with it and should have ended back in 2016 or at least in 2020, never to arise again. The biggest concern that we all should take into consideration is that he has the ability to destroy this planet with just a flick of his finger on the nuclear football and at this point who is left in this regime that is an adult to tell him No… It’s way past time for his removal to Shady Pines…

So all this crap was going on Friday afternoon, out in the barn? And then he gets in the big chopper & scoots the 5miles back to the airport, boards up and splits? Lol. I live down the road from the Eau Claire airport...heard all the stuff moving in Wednesday, (hauling in Marine One for the jaunt over to Custer's,) and saw the crowds at the airport Friday afternoon after work. They were sizable, btw, and not pro-trump. Then the honored to have him commentary on facebook et al. And then the real story. Spuds, thou art bankrupt & cooked...and further: whatta. buncha. choads.

How many punches on a loyalty card do Trump voters need to get their free ticket to the UFC "Battle of the Bullshit"? (Transportation and accommodation not included.)
