What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

No kidding. It's not impossible you could successfully emigrate, but an asylum approval seems far-fetched.

Oh for heaven's sake, guys. I'm joking. 

Besides, my grandmother moved to the states from Germany. If I really wanted to move somewhere legally with ease, I have that as an out. Or buy a bit of land in Spain.

I am so glad I live in a foreign country already.

A not insignificant number of Americans have tried this over the years.  The large majority of their refugee claims are denied.

A not insignificant number of Americans have not lived through a Trump's second mandate

but you need to learn German or Spanish for that.

Where as if you move to rural Alberta, it will feel like a progressive version of Alabama and you don't even need to learn another language!

Seems like Florida was a real battleground in 2016:

I have to finish the day early because apparently Mike Pence is here in Iceland. Sad!

Trump apparently alters a NOAA hurricane projection map with a sharpie in order to justify his twitter claim that it might have struck Alabama.

He's sounds and acts like a six year old kid. 

"They made a big deal about this when in fact, under certain original scenarios, it was in fact correct that Alabama could have received some 'hurt,'" he added. "Always good to be prepared! But the Fake News is only interested in demeaning and belittling. Didn't play my whole sentence or statement. Bad people!"

[merithyn]

He's like the kid in science class that didn't do shit for his presentation so is totally making it up with whatever he can find with a quick Google search, a printer, and a sharpie.

My 5 year old is smart enough to not try something this stupid.

I mean - no one should really care that he mentioned Alabama.  So he misheard or misremembered - it happens!  If he would have laughed it off like "covfefe" it's no big deal.  He could have said "well thank God I was wrong about Alabama - but keep our minds on the others"  But he has to keep doubling down on the most inane shit imaginable.

It's the worst case of "right man" syndrome I've ever seen. He simply cannot ever be 'wrong' about anything, even the weather. To say he's wrong about some detail is to attack his self-esteem and invite retaliation.

Seth Meyers had a funny clip collection. Trump said something about no one ever seeing a category 5 hurricane before. He then showed clips of a number of times he said the same about the previous three category 5 hurricanes during his presidency.
