Trump built the Rockies, with his own tiny hands. And Mexico paid for it.
For which I give an extremely grateful “Thank God”
That is such an hilarious trump, and so true.
You have a much rosier view of Bunker. I think he’d be perfectly okay with Trump’s policies on immigration and the southern border.
As for braggarts, I wonder if Andrew Johnson (the first impeached president) fits the bill. He seemed to be an all-purpose asshole. He’s been variously described as obnoxious, insecure, spiteful and belligerent. Sound like anyone we know?
No, but, then again, he is the only narcissistic megalomaniacal president we’ve ever had.
I’m not sure even North Korea has had a leader who is more full of shit than Trump.
There are many superlatives that Dolt 45 will be able to lay claim to.
Biggest braggart: Yes, probably. Others may have shared this trait, but I don’t think anyone was as over the top. When thousands die in your city and when interviewed on the radio state that your building is now the tallest in Manhattan, well that’s kind of hard to beat.
Biggest crook. Not even close. Nixon was a saint compared to him.
Biggest sexual predator. Many if not most presidents have been serial adulterers, but no others bought teen beauty pageants for the purpose of seeing the contestants undressed.
Dumbest. Not even close. There have been others with much less formal education (like Lincoln), but none were as willfully ignorant as he.
Biggest grifter. While making a big deal about forgoing his salary, he has made more in charging the Secret Service for golf carts and for overcharging for official events at his properties than he gave up in salary.
While reading this thread, it occurred to me that perhaps we’ve done our country a disservice by telling young children, “This is America! Anyone can become President!”
I certainly don’t want the impression to be that only white males who are part of the American aristocracy can become President (although that’s certainly been true for much of our history), but it may be wise to say, “This is America! Anyone who works hard and studies hard and has empathy for their fellow citizens can become President and deserve taking on the mantle of leadership.”
Sure, but hell, the job finally beat Johnson. All Presidents have had brass balls to some extent, but most had some idea that they’d bitten off more than any human could chew.
There might have been a few exceptions - Herbert Hoover was egotistical to a degree even other Presidents would struggle to match and Jackson was nuts. Trump, though, clearly has some kind of narcissistic personality disorder.
The difference between “speak softly and carry a big stick”, and “speak loudly and, … um, … have small hands”
That’s partly a consequence of the growth and formalization of the educational system in general, though. Lincoln was a self-educated lawyer: does Illinois even accept people without JDs to the bar any more?

He could always build a 541-mile long wall between Mexico and Guatemala, then annex Mexico. Maybe Vlad will give him some pointers on how he did it with Crimea.
I bet (and hope!) that that really buggers the dumb idiot out of his tiny little mind 
It’s not only Obama, there were more! (He probably does not know, of course, somebody should tell him. Please, Melania, Ivanka, the Rrrusshians, if you are listening: tell him!)
That made me laugh! Just imagine, in Germany we had Merkel, and she made herself look good (and all the others bad) after about 10 years… sad, innit?
I am pretty sure Trump could read Goodnight Moon in a few hours and lecture on it in the early morning while it is still fresh in his head. I doubt he could do the same with books by Dr. Seuss. Those are far too deep.

Didn’t he say we are building a wall in Colorado, presumably to keep out the New Mexicans?
Quote of the week!
{Emphasis added}
But not before banging it.

Can’t have those New MEXICANS stealing er jerbs.
Yeah, Teddy DESERVED to brag. He once gave a speech twenty minutes after being shot. (BEFORE even going to the doctor, IIRC). I’d like to see Trump do that.
