as it is brilliantly demonstrated here by the republican family-values role model, Comrade Dirty Donny, republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief.

All the manufacturers of devices should have made key pads much too difficult for infants to be able to use. There should be a minimum finger length to be able to play with such a destructive tool and maybe a little more complicated for an infant to be able to log into. I actually wonder if Ivanka has to open his medicine bottles for him.

My 4-year-old knows more about my smartphone than I do, and he is about on Trump's level when it comes to critical thinking (crap, I might have just insulted my kid, sorry Jack if you are reading this!).

why is he one of the only senior that can use a technical device? Many 70 year olds can not tweet. Oh, those seniors all worked their whole lives, did not have executive time to play with phones.

'Oh, no': The day Trump learned to tweet

The content of the tweet @RealDonaldTrump posted on the night of Feb. 5, 2013, was bland: a simple thank you to the actress Sherri Shepherd for flattering comments she'd made about Trump on television.

When Trump's young social media manager saw the tweet, he was perplexed. He typically typed and sent Trump's tweets for the boss, but in this case he hadn't. He did recall that Trump had been spending a lot of time in his office lately playing around with a new Android smartphone.

The next morning, the handful of staffers with access to the boss's account told the social media manager, Justin McConney, that they had not sent it either.

That's when it dawned on him: Donald Trump had tweeted on his own for the first time.

"The moment I found out Trump could tweet himself was comparable to the moment in 'Jurassic Park' when Dr. Grant realized that velociraptors could open doors," recalled McConney, who was the Trump Organization's director of social media from 2011 to 2017. "I was like, 'Oh no.'"...

Trump was such an inconsequential person back in 2014, actually more of a joke, that I didn't even realize how often he was making political comments. I mostly remember his ridiculous birther remarks.

and tweets is how coherent they are. No word salad, rambling, and non sequiturs.
It's scary how much and how fast he's deteriorated.

And if you go back to the 1980s and 1990s, he was more soft spoken, spoke in complete sentences, and actually had a reasonable vocabulary. There is clearly some major mental deterioration going on with the man. He is devolving into a clownish idiot.

leadership and party as well as a complicit corporate M$M. Where is the outrage. I hope a majority of our countrymen wakes up in time to prevent an historic calamity. Keep sounding the alarms and thank you DU.
