I’m super proud of my kid.

“Can you spell the place Wales?”

“w-a-l-e-s?”

“Can you guess who couldn’t today?”

Big sigh/eyeroll combo (which really gets tested a lot in tween years. It’s going to be a wild ride when we hit full teenage years).

“Trump.”

Like, it’s not even funny. There’s no anger. Just disappointed resignation. Such a good example for teh childrun.

The White House posted a Flag Day tweet with a picture of Donny Two Scoops molesting the US flag. Donny Dipshit proudly retweeted the flag hump photo.

The story says that he’s launching his 2020 campaign. Didn’t he do that in January 2017?

Trump and his advisers have spent many months grappling with the big question that America faces in its future - should the slogan remain as “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN”, or should it be “KEEP AMERICA GREAT”?

The “Prince of Whales” bit starts just past the 5:30 mark, but the whole thing is worth a watch!

It’s been noted that Trump tends to accuse other people of things that he’s guilty of himself, perhaps as a way of deflection - if two people are calling each other liars, then it is not immediately clear who is the liar, and who is telling the truth.

Here are the things Trump has accused other people of on Twitter in the last 24 hours:

> [@Donald Trump](#):
>
> “national disgrace”  
> “Corrupt”  
> “totally out of control”  
> “have given up”  
> “don’t even care anymore”  
> “ZERO CREDIBILITY”  
> “TOTAL LOSERS!”  
> “a disaster”  
> “will only get worse”  
> “very dishonest”  
> “want to destroy our Country”  
> “not playing it straight”  
> “ridiculous”  
> “obstructionist”  
> “will stop at nothing to distract the American people”  
> “dishonest”

I thought it might be, since the clips that have aired this week have been pretty damning, but it’s now apparent that [the Stephanopoulos interview](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1140059243518865408) is likely what’s on Trump’s mind. As Trump helpfully informs us in his tweet: "It will be aired on Sunday night at 8:00 P.M., and is called, “President Trump: 30 Hours”. So put that in your diaries, I think it could be explosive. He calls Don McGahn a liar who lied under oath in one clip, and in another says he’s open to colluding with foreign governments to get dirt on a political rival.

Trump’s latest trio of tweets mean that these words can now be added to the list above:

> [@Donald Trump](#):
>
> “Fake”  
> “distort”  
> “as negative a way as possible”  
> “misleading”

Goddamit Donald, stop tweeting and go to bed - the task of writing this list will never end!

New updates for the list:

To be fair, some conservatives\* who discovered he’s actually worse than they were led to believe have been having buyers’ remorse for at least a year now.  
\*Minorities, mostly.
