trump is mentally incapable of admitting fault so he will either hold out for impeachment or pence will invoke that one amendment clause that lets him and the cabinet coup the president

that was a good lol because if you listened closely what he was trying to do was use that as a hypothetical for a thing he wouldn't do i.e. telegraph his intentions for military action.

But then he got stuck on it and just kept repeating that, loudly, and before he could re-emphasize the whole "this is an example of what we wouldn't do" part he remembered about north korea and iran and decided to say "yeah I'm really really not telling you what's about to go down with them two NOT THAT ANYTHING EVEN IS but if it were I definitely ain't telling"

Whenever you feel like a nostalgic lol, look at any press conference with Obama and see how good you had it. The dude was intelligent, charismatic, emphatic and amazing and now there's Trump.

That's what makes it even better, you were doing so loving well with that guy, so loving well, and now you've got a dementia riddled gameshow host who can't stop talking about the numbers behind his election. It's brilliant, for the rest of time, the land of the free and home of the brave will never shake this blight on it's history.

It's going to come down to congressional republicans realizing that if they impeach him in 2017 then the people going to the polls aren't going to give a gently caress about it in 2018. If they remember that, then Trump is impeached within six months and then they spend the next year going, "Donald who? You mean that bozo we got rid of?" If they don't, then at least one of Trump's internal organs is likely to given out in the next year in a fashion that resembles that scene from Scanners.

Is it wrong or crazy that I'm feeling the beginning of pity or empathy or sadness for President Donald Trump? I'm feeling he's in way over his head and he's just lashing out like a teenager dealing with puberty or something like that.
I think he's not well and were it not for the damage he's doing to the USA I think... I pity him.

He's like Midas in a way. He has everything, but it seems maybe he actually has nothing.

Sure the fake news talks about the illegal leaks which were true, but that news was fake, but do they ever talk about how we're setting up to invade South Korea? NooooOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo

Which would be bad, we know South Korea, great people, really great people best wontons in the city, really keep my daughters nails in top shape but you'd never know that because CNN is fake news.

Now fox and friends, thats a great show, just really great, top notch. Did you know they cant even show CNN in Switzerland because of treaty uh, it violates the treaty with other countries? I bet you dont hear that on fake news because the ratings, I mean come on, my ratings are great, just, really the good ratings are some of my best qualities.

But we're going to fix all that, with the Swiss and Korea, I've got some of the best people on it, I mean really great, really great people are going to be on it and we're going to get them out of the inner cities you know the Swiss in Chicago, the Swiss dont even go out during the day anymore? Its true! Just terribly have to sit at home and watch fox and friends, which isnt bad those are great people, really just the best show I cant even start my day without that show.

Trump enters a dimly lit room in the White House.

He pauses and thinks to himself intently. He can't remember if he has been in this room before. There were always so many rooms.

He closes the door gently behind him with his soft and small hands. A small ray of sunlight beams through the window. Dust can be seen moving through the air.

In front of him lay a box. Something clearly not from this world. He is unable to resist and opens it slowly.

Out pops a creature who says that he can fulfill any duty or task.

Trump states, "I want to make America...Great Again."
