There is a picture floating around, and we all have seen it. It looks like Mr. Trump is putting something on his sandwich, and he is talking to the guy behind the counter. He is not dressed well and he does not look well. He is at the Trump National Golf Club Mar a Lago
...But, The Picture is all over, and I guess if it is all over here, it is all over .."everywhere." As he is maligned and made fun of, as is happening all over the U.S.A., I sure hope he doesn't do anything rash or irresponsible as result of "The Picture" making rounds everywhere. While it sure isn't a "flattering picture" it goes with the territory. People take pictures of the President of the U.S.A. anytime he is in view of anyone.
..There is a picture of Bush Jr. looking out of a plane at the hurricane, and he appears "lost" too. Kinda, like he didn't know what was going on as he looks out.
...And Mr. Trump makes fun of anybody or everybody, he doesn't like or doesn't agree with. It is obvious that he enjoys making fun of people..
..Other presidents have not faired well with pictures. But it goes with the territory. Someone had a camera and took a picture. It isn't even a new idea. I just hope that Mr. Trump manages to deal with it rationally.

I've always thought you could drive him over the edge by strapping him in a chair, and forcing him to look at every cartoon about him, hear every snide remark made about him, sit through every stand-up routine about his stupidity

(86,822 posts)If only. I think we can hope that Speaker Pelosi might accomplish that without the cartoons... that would be righteous in many ways if she did manage to push him over the edge.

(2,132 posts)Nobody around him wants to deal with the trantrums that would ensure if he saw everything out there.

(27,820 posts)Keeping the worst from him is not a matter of sparing his feelings - it's a matter of self-preservation.
It also keeps him from "retaliating" with tweets that make him appear even more unhinged than he actually is.
