“He is the first president that I know of who spends more time reading his Twitter ‘likes’ than his briefing books or the constitution of the United States.”

Former Secretary of State John Kerry delivered a blistering assessment of President Donald Trump ...

Kerry said he’d “never seen anything quite like” the critical claims made about Trump in the anonymous New York Times op-ed purportedly penned by a senior White House official and in veteran journalist Bob Woodward’s new tell-all book, Fear.

Better to laugh than to scold for scolding's own sake. In most cases, the scolding doesn't make one appear to be superior, but instead, it has the opposite effect and can come across as being petty. All I'm trying to say is that liberals should do a better job at picking their battles.

Comparisons to anything else is unfair and insulting to whatever Trump is being compared to.

Hope he and Obama can sit down and set the record straight on what really happened with the Syria decision. Plus his Twitter account feed is a hot mess.

but I think more emphasis should be placed on the threat to democracy the Slobodon and the GOP are. A dictator wanna be with a beyond asinine personality instead of a smooth one. If he cleaned up, he would still be a dictator wanna be.
