He was just feeling neglected and wanted his very own participation trophy.

Until the next snowflake needs a trophy.
He outsourced it to Spicer, who was confused because Trump had pointed to a pile of shinola.
OK, but do either of them trust whitey?
See a doctor and get rid of it.
Hear, hear. It can’t be said enough.
We must repeat.
We must repeat.
We must repeat.
What’s the difference between shit and shinola? 
Polishing a shoe with shit just raises a big stink.
The uniqueness of this thread is astounding.
Agreed. I can’t raise a single mou of sorrow on behalf of Dear Leader after all the revolting abuse he heaped on Obama and others during Obama’s term.
I noticed he backs down bigly whenever in the presence of a real strong man or a strongman. He’s just a weenie trying to run with the big dogs. He never met a rule he wasn’t willing to bend or even many laws he wasn’t willing to break.
He thinks he’s wearing an Invisibility Cloak of Immunity with the presidency, meaning in his feeble mind, if you’re president, whatever you do isn’t illegal. It’s why he won’t quit.
We’ll see about that.
Trump is right: no politician in history has been treated worse.
But no politician in history has arrived at the office of President so little prepared, and then made so many boneheaded decisions.
So there’s a REASON for the unprecedented treatment: the unprecedented incompetence.
This is modern politics. If you want to run for office, much less hold office, you have to have a skin as thick as a rhino’s. Trump should have known that; he certainly participated in the attacks against other politicians. But he seemed to believe that when it was his turn, people would treat him with the deference he’s used to getting from his minions.

He was shockingly, mystifyingly, hell biblically ill prepared. I totally don’t get it. Did he think he could just wander into the White House with seemingly zero preparation, plans or real strategy and just, what? Wing it? :smack: They guy is a billionaire…he could have hired some consultants for literally what he makes in a few hours on the interest on his slush fund (hell, probably on his golf fees)! I get that he doesn’t want to spend HIS money (or something), but…is that better than looking like such an ill-prepared fool?
:smack::smack::smack:
I think Abe has a good case.
Every story about him from the White House is literally about how he is a little man child with a toddler’s attention span and a massive ego. This is a man who never grew up because he never had to.
Too soon.
Yeah, they fucked over JFK pretty good, too.
(I see Bricker’s point, however.)
In his mind he’s already so great at being president that there’s no reason he should have to hire any consultants. The opposite - he himself could be a consultant to other people, what with his incredible negotiating skills etc.
Apparently his attention span is such that it’s hard for him to read anything longer or more complex than a single page of bullet points. He likes graphs and pictures.
In order to cope with this, his staff has taken to inserting his name as often as possible in reports they prepare for him. He likes reading about himself and this helps to hold his interest.
Bad press sets him off. The fear among his staff is that he will read or see nasty things about himself and then start spouting off on Twitter. When there’s bad press about, his staff provides him with some positive coverage of himself in the hope that this will keep him calm and stop him from flying off the handle and damaging himself even worse.
It’s incredible to read this stuff about the president of the US. It’s like what you might expect to see in a school write-up of some misbehaving kid.
I don’t recall any people questioning his citizenship. Or thinking he might be a terrorist because of his middle name. Or associating him with a religion that he doesn’t follow.
Aethelred, the Unready, maybe? (The “unready” apparently originally meant “ill-counseled”, so this fits in so many ways.) It will be interesting to see if Trump gets an epithet that lasts 1000 years.
I don’t have any sympathy for a man who goes to the Coast Guard Academy commencement and wants the cadets to feel bad for the billionaire President.
