The amount of broken crockery Trump leaves in his wake as he learns to president is about what I expected. His twitter trolling has exceeded my expectations.

I'm not sure he'll run for a second term. If the economy hums along nicely like it's doing now he might want to just do one term and add that capstone to his career.

Is there any one of the traditional seven deadly sins he doesn't epitomize?  :lol:

Okay, maybe gluttony is a stretch.

Just because we haven't perished in nuclear fire doesn't mean he's done better than expected.  And there's still so much more damage to do.

Checks and balances have proved their worth. Plus, yes he is lazy and incompetent. Nevertheless I think I hate him even more now than I did a year ago.

He's pretty fat.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Pride. Not the same thing as vanity.


It is for the purposes of the seven deadly sins.

He is pretty clearly insecure and lacks confidence though.

I don't see him learning anything.

I kind of thought he would show some capacity to learn, again he has surprised me on this.

Legbiter is of the opinion that trolling Twitter is how one presidents I guess.

He knows in his heart of hearts he's a coward.
