Personally, I can’t wait to hear the glowing things Trump will say about [Elijah Cummings](https://us.cnn.com/2019/10/17/politics/elijah-cummings/index.html) who unexpectedly passed away last night. ---

The secretary should have refused to type up the letter. What a fucking joke. This is unworthy of a note passed between prison cells, let alone between world leaders. He is a fucking little toddler, and a dull witted one at that. ---

Are you kidding? If there was a coup tomorrow, Trump wouldn’t be standing proudly on a tank by the Mall. He’d be in a Gulfstream flying to one of his overseas resorts, and probably shitting his pants. ---

Yeltsin was a greater statesman drunk than Trump is, or is ever likely to be, sober. ---

He is a fucking little toddler, and a dull witted one at that. [This article](https://time.com/5701364/david-shulkin-donald-trump/) from Trump’s former VA secretary gives a vivid picture of what it’s like trying to have a conversation with the man, and that was before he even took office. Trying to talk to him now— especially to refuse an order, to offer even mild criticism, or tell him anything he doesn’t want to hear— must be an impossible task. ---

He did let the country go to pot and opened the way for Putin, though. So indeed, the fear is that after orangefool, THEN will come an actually competent strongman and then we will be really screwed. ---
