Asked during an interview on "Fox & Friends" Thursday what grade he would his presidency, Trump launched into a tirade against the special counsel investigation into possible collusion between his campaign and Russia before eventually replying: "I would give myself an A-plus."

"Nobody has done what I’ve been able to do," he said. "And I did it despite the fact that I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist." Trump has repeatedly decried the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election as a "hoax" and a "witch hunt" orchestrated by Democrats to upend his presidency.

"It was what the Democrats use to try to make an excuse for the loss of the election, for their loss of the Electoral College," Trump said on Thursday. "This was an absolute, total beating in the Electoral College."

Trump has suffered from routinely low approval ratings since taking office, though his marks have gone up slightly in recent months. As of Thursday, RealClearPolitics, a website that aggregates polling data, pegged his approval rating at 41.7 percent.

1. Okay. Now it really is time for the 25th amendment.

And don't forget the straight jacket. The guy is beyond looney tunes.

[redwitch]

2. Yup, his head doesnt exist.

We need this buffoon gone. I am so tired of the low grade depression that has settled over me and most sane people I know. Enough already!

[madaboutharry]

3. A man with Delusions of Grandeur and lacking in any Self Awareness

is a dangerous man who should not be permitted to control the levers power. If ever there was a case for removal under the 25th Amendment, this is it. The republicans who allow him to stay in power are making a mockery of democracy.

[riversedge]

4. Not surprising at all. not at all.

[RockRaven]

5. The only A-plusses Dummy Don has ever received in his life

are those given to him by him. He certainly didn't get any at UPenn. If he had, he'd still be bragging about it.

[Xipe Totec]

6. I give him an 'A' for Asshole. nt

[dweller]

8. and I'll add the

+ ++++ ....

[FSogol]

10. Exactly, Asshole Plus.

[BlueMTexpat]

24. + a million or so! eom

[dalton99a]

34. +1

[groundloop]

7. Damn..... spilled my coffee when I read this headline.

[mac56]

9. Yeah, well, every class clown in every school would give himself an A-plus

if he could hack the school computer.

[Le Gaucher]

11. A+ from Trump University? Sure

While you are at it -- why dont you give youselves an A+ in

Basic Decency
Chivalry
Political Science
Public Policy
Neuroscience
Astrophysics
Control Systems Engineering
Anthropology
WhatTheFuckEverYouWant


Heck -- why dont give yourself a PhD in all these fields??

[LanternWaste]

13. If Trump gets an A+, it'll be have to be from someone

If Trump gets an A+, it'll be have to be from someone who believes in such absurdities such as Macron being stupid merely due to a handshake.

[Orsino]

12. And does, daily.

But he demonstrates hourly that he doesn't know shit about what the job entails.

[jmowreader]

14. In one way, hes absolutely right

No president before Trump fired as many advisors and Cabinet officials in their entire terms as Trump has in his first 15 months. So he’s done a heckuva job Trumpie at draining the swamp.

That he hand-picked the alligators he removed from the swamp is not a thing decent gentlemen should mention.

[MGKrebs]

15. Sheesh, I would hate to see what 'C' looks like,

let alone 'F'.

[Stuart G]

16. Let's give credit where credit is due...look at the person doing the grading..

The person giving an A+ to Mr. Trump
is an F- person.,,,,,,,,,,.a lying, thieving, sick dishonest Asshole....
.....clearly F- in every way....now F is lowest grade...fucking failing...and F- is worst grade possible..

[BeyondGeography]

17. Not A squared or A cubed?

Actually, we’ve been cubed. I give the country an A cubed on this presidency.

[Elwood P Dowd]

18. Spanky was right about this part....

"And I did it despite the fact that I have a phony cloud over my head that doesn’t exist."

You are right Spanky. A "phony cloud" doesn't exist. A REAL cloud does, and its seeded with tons of evidence that you're a lying, corrupt, piece of shit.

[truthisfreedom]

19. Can you imagine this guy after sex?

Ugh. Just ugh.

[47of74]

22. No thank you.

Just the thought of that makes me wanna scratch my eyes out with a brillo pad and a rusty chain saw.

[sprinkleeninow]

27. The mere envisioning of that

makes me want to roll over and over in a bed of thistle and nettle.

[CatMor]

28. I can't imagine him before or during either....

to me he is absolutely repulsive.

[Vinca]

20. I don't know what drugs he's on, but he's clearly stoned.

[No-Bozos]

23. Seriously, I truely believe he was under the influence

We all know Private Bone Spurs has some serious personality disorders. But this mornings rant took it to a new level. I really believe he was amped up, possibly on Adderall or some other behavior modification drug.

Adding to this theory are the new revelations of the White House physician, or as some of his staff refer to him "The Candy Man". I'd even be willing to bet this quack gave Bone Spurs that over the top physical report with the promise of something better, saaaaay, something high up in the Veterans Administration.

I believe the president's prescription drug use needs some serious investigative reporting. Just saying.

[SergeStorms]

25. It sounded like...

a typical cocaine filibuster to me. Not that I would have personal knowledge of that sort of thing, mind you, but people have told me coke users go off on tangents like this quite often.

[sarcasmo]

21. Of course he would, Delusional as usual.

[SergeStorms]

26. Little Donnie Trump is.....

one of the most humble individuals I've ever seen as well. His humility is world renowned.

Little Donnie Trump is a legend in his own mind.

[DetlefK]

31. No wall, no Obamacare-repeal, swamp not drained, Hillary still not in jail, coal is not back...

... american carnage continues, still no solution for DACA, US is farther away than ever from reducing the national debt, job-growth weak...

And for that he gets an A+ ???

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

32. Hahahaha!! Good one!! Unless the A is for "asshole"... then yes, A+++

[MrModerate]

33. Trump has a void in his self-awareness suit. n/t
