Trump is graded on a curve

[Proud liberal 80]

Doesn't say anything stupid or says things that a POTUS should say and he gets an "A".

1. Yep; just like W

Wow; he didn't screw up so badly! What a great speech!

[Orrex]

2. Same in the debates

If Clinton didn't cure cancer and bring peace to the middle east, her debate performance was ruled a failure.

If Trump didn't actually shit his pants and grope a random woman in the audience, he was praised for being "presidential."

3. And MSNBC has a whole team sitting there "analyzing" the speech.

Analyzing WHAT? I've got dustbunnies floating around here with more substance! But dammit, they're paid to analyze what he said, so analyze they must.

But I'll give him credit for not drooling on himself, tripping on his tie, or announcing the start of WWIII.

4. Pass the aspirin

My head hurts from watching MSNBC cover king of the morons.

[madokie]

6. I just flat ass refuse to watch the cable networks

local news first thing in the morning then its the science, history or discovery channel. Most times its turn the tv off and mossy out in the yard and do man things, like clean the pool, weed eat. Oh yes theres that Garden thingy that always needs attention that I love giving some too.

I come to DU for my News and a feeling of camaraderie that some of us so need

[TEB]

11. I understand friend

[oberliner]

5. Joe and Mike are fawning over him

And how great the last ten minutes of his speech was.

They love him when he reads.

[DetlefK]

7. He's a special boy.

[SamKnause]

9. ...

[gratuitous]

8. That curve being roughly equivalent

That curve being roughly equivalent to the arc of a car plunging off a cliff.

10. "Graded on a curve" is not an apt metaphor.

I was in classes that were graded on a curve. It allocates grades on the bell curve. Most receive Cs, less Bs and Ds and a very few receive Fs and As. If one student receive 100% and the next highest grade was say 80% that student would skew the curve. In any case for tRump or baby bUsh to be graded on a curve it would require that they are part of a class of say the last 30 presidents.You cannot grade one person on a curve unless the curve is made up of earlier grades.

12. If he's not drooling and picking his nose they consider it "presidential".

What a failure!

13. In an impossibly difficult...

...summer course that was 2 semesters of organic chemistry taught in 8 weeks, the weekly exams were graded on a curve. One week, a "C" was only 36%.

Isn't that about what POSUS' approval rating is now?

(POSUS is my latest acronym for Trump - Piece of Shit of the United States)
