Back during "The Apprentice" (which I never watched), I wondered why people wanted to look at this shrieking orange piece of offal.

2. Not only wont I say that phrase I wont use his name, he has been rump to me from day one

Maybe not day one, I tried a few others but rump is the best.

It is exactly the same as having an 11 yr old rich, spoiled child as president.

I feel my blood pressure rise when he's given that title by news people. The only way that would be acceptable is if they used air quotes!

I have never used the two together. I actually feel like I have no president at this time. He will never be my president.

6. To me he has never been "the president" and now
Sat Aug 24, 2019, 04:19 PM

I call him "The tyrant trump".

He is the tyrant. A dictator wannabe. A bumbling fool who stumbled into the presidency by accident more ill-equipped to handle the office than anyone in history and has proved what a lack-wit he truly is by his myriad stumble-bum, and disastrous errors, which expose him as the cruel, ignorant and sociopathic putz he really is.

He is no president. He is no leader. He is no business man. He is no success. He is no inspiration. He is barely human.

No matter what happens, The tyrant trump will go down in history as the worst, most uninformed, obtuse and dangerous leader the world has ever seen and the poorest excuse for a president this country has ever had the misfortune to experience. He is like a barnacle on the ass of the world.. a stubborn stain, an inflamed pustule, a resistant buboe, a goatish, crook-pated, canker blossom.

None of this is normal.

Shame on us.

depth as president. He should've stayed in his little real estate/hotel racket where he could continue getting away with selling his brand and plastering his name on hotels and condo buildings he really doesn't own, cheating vendors, running scam side businesses and using his lawyers and fixers and deeper pockets to intimidate those he cheated from getting legal recourse. He could still be doing that instead of being exposed as the actual blustering, debacle-a-day blunderer that he is.

9. Any American company that is currently doing business in China
Sat Aug 24, 2019, 04:46 PM

... had to spend at least 4 or 5 years and well more than $1 billion to make that happen. The effort it has taken to research locations in Asia, locate suppliers, build a factory, train staff, hire employees, move equipment and get the operation running smoothly is a big undertaking and a huge investment. Nothing happens quickly on the whim of a president or anyone else.

For the same American company to undo all of this just because of Chump's angry tweets would take another 5 years, and why would they want to do it? He'll be gone soon enough anyway.

None of this makes any sense, it just proves that Chump belongs in a padded cell.

10. I verbally declared in Nov 2016 that I would never call him that word since

he ISN'T legitimately the POTUS. I just call him "tRump" and NEVER the "P" word. When I write I write POTUS or tRump (to me that is as close as I can get without throwing up).

13. I call him trump or 45.

Whenever I hear him referred to as president trump on tv or radio, I become angry.

I have managed to transfer that anger into more energy and activism. GOTV.

14. I never call him president, I have been calling him the "creature"
Sat Aug 24, 2019, 05:09 PM
Aug 2019

That is how I feel, he is an evil creature. I never capitalize his name either, he is not worth of even a capital letter, and I cringe when one of our candidates refer to him as "Mr. President", he doesn't deserve the "Mr." either. I wish they would call him by his last name and never by the title that he stole.

16. I started using "pee-Resident"
Sat Aug 24, 2019, 05:16 PM

But apparently, the existence of a pre-2016 video from his visit to Moscow hasn’t phased MAGAts, Congress, the M$M, and others who could/should actually give a flying fuck.
So. Be. It!

Depending on context, I refer to him (it?) as:
• cadet bone spurs
• donnie two scoops
• Putin’s bitch (no offense to female canines)
• the mangled-apricot Hellbeast
• the current occupant of the Offal Oriface

But never as the President, Commander-in-Chief, or other unearned titles.

FLOTUS.

I guess Melania can have POTUS, if we can amend it similarly. P for “plagiarist”? “Porndoll”? “Preener”?
