I've got to say, 'Candidate' Trump does match up to 'President' Trump

The minority voted for someone who would be "politically incorrect" for a change.

And what do you know? They have exactly that; someone who is petulant, whiny, and has the emotional stability and political skill of a toddler.

Great job, really.

Remember when they said President Trump would be different from campaign trail Trump?

Remember when they said that his most ardent supporters didn't really believe he was going to do the things he said he was going to do and that he was only gonna "shake up D.C." - well, there are still many of his supporters who are happy with his deplorable behavior - and that makes them deplorable too. Oh, but we can't call them deplorable.

there was a clip of him saying "people say i can't be presidential. i can be presidential."

and then he took a step or two back from the podium and walked towards it again, but slowly, with a straight back, etc.

and then he immediately reverted to his fratboy self and said, "see? i can do that!"

as if a somewhat stately walk was all that "presidential" meant.


he kept up the illusion of stateliness for almost one full second. that was all he could handle.
