OMG! Cheetolini is on TV and making a total idiot of himself.

Special report. His lack of knowledge about everything is so painfully obvious and embarrassing. I don't know how anyone can take this moron seriously. It's insulting that they foist this buffoon upon us as if he has anything of substance to say.

“Today, Trump humiliated himself and the nation in front of the world by (CLICK TO ENTER TEXT).”

I’m 50% joking.

To be fair, though, Dennis is a lot smarter than Trump. I'm sure people might feel more secure with him in the office rather than Needy Amin*.

However, I rarely work from home during the day and have a chance to see him on television, and don't get the cable networks so I was kind of astounded by the level of idiocy I saw before me. It was almost surreal.

Google "Trump Special Report Today" and click "news". It will pull up the videos.

If quiet he could maintain a facade

But he prefers to show his idiocy.

He spouts lies and insanity and his eager flock keeps buying it, while the media tiptoes around this shit, saying things like, "Ooh, ooh, perhaps President Trump misspoke."

If you think you might be crazy, you are sane to realize that. If you really are crazy, you have no idea and think you are the sane one.

The Orange Fuerhrer indeed thinks he is smart.

At the his press scrum on the WhiteHhouse lawn, after meeting with the NK official, someone from the press asked him about the letter from Kim Jung un, he said “ it’s a very interesting letter...“would you like to see what in the letter?” Then he teased the press with “I know you would like to see what’s In the letter”. Then in a later comment about the letter, he said. “l have not read the letter.”

He is one sick man - a pathological LIAR who no longer knows when he's lying.

He thinks he's being so cute and clever, but he's just bullshitting to deflect attention away from the fact that he has no idea what he is doing.

Hi malaise! Hope you are doing well!

Probably the one person to hold office who understands the power of media and how to use it.

And, ironically, in a disturbing sort of way, he actually sees tv as being more real than the world outside his window.
If it's not on tv, it did not happen.
Yeyt even that is filtered thru his ill mind. He brags about his tv coverage yet will tell a baldfaced lie about a televised statement he made.
Psycho paths are masters at gaslighting.

Wouldn't he have to know what was in the letter before he talked to the NK guy for two hours?
That is so irresponsible. What if the letter conflicts with everything he said about the meeting?

I don't believe he asked "do you want me to read it?"

Duh!
We gave you a letter of course we want you to read it.

Wouldn't he need to tell the visitor his thanks or response to the message?

I think he was not saying one true word. The only thought in his head is "make up stuff the press will cover bigly"

Seen from a certain perspective, it is somewhat reassuring, He is faithful to himself. The last of the morons looks like a genius next to him...

Seen from another one, the sooner we get rid of him, the better. His incompetence is lethally hazardous!
