I'm with Money on this one.  I can't think of a single time when he demonstrated self-awareness.

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named "Man (Person) of the Year," like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

I love it when you can't distinguish his account from a parody one.

Trump is a clown:  funny, but there's that frisson from the fact that you know it could turn ultra-scary at any time.

What Trump has done is illuminate the utter lack of leadership on both sides of the aisle.  Both parties are going to have to take a hard look at how they choose leaders (or, in the case of Pelosi, how they allow themselves to be blackmailed by an incompetent bully without doing a fucking thing about it).  Yeah, Trump is awful, but he isn't the only awful thing.  The one thing his presidency has shown right is shown how delusional was the Republican belief that, if they could just get rid of the nigger, everyone would start shitting ice cream.

And the media lets him bait them everytime. You'd think they'd learn eventually but no. And thus their reaction becomes part of the joke.

You can be ignored when you're a reality TV celebrity.  You can't be ignored when you're the President of the United States.

Wait... what?  You think that this is an actual example of "the media?"  Part of the media is part of the joke, for sure.  Hannity, Fox, Limbaugh.  All of them trying so hard to convince everyone that grandpa did, indeed, zip up after he pissed and that thing hanging out of his pants isn't his dick.

QuoteOne helpful Twitter user documented the annual narcisso-anxiety complex that overcomes the president of the United States vis-a-vis a magazine cover:

.@FoxNews is MUCH more important in the United States than CNN, but outside of the U.S., CNN International is still a major source of (Fake) news, and they represent our Nation to the WORLD very poorly. The outside world does not see the truth from them!

It's not CNN's job to represent the U.S to the world. That's yours.  Our job is to report the news.  #FactsFirst

Trump is doing a great job making CNN more important in the US. Dear God has there ever been a time for that shitty moribund network? He is the answer to their prayers.

Oh God, that embarrassing.  That's the first time I felt embarrassed for Trump.  I actually cringed when I heard that.  It's like something out of Blazing Saddles.
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
