but at least they could've read them out loud and and sounded as if they did.

Imagine the Fucking Moron in Chief trying to fake his way through that one.

4. He can't contort his mouth to say those words without smirking.

That's (with the drug lisp) been his biggest public speaking problem. When he tries to say sensible, sociable things, his mouth overrules and it sounds garbled. Same thing with his tweet thumbs.
HIS whole character is committed to repeating, "you'll never catch me, I'm too smart". It's like a mantra with him(or Turrets). That's just wrong!


I predict there will be a thriving cottage industry psychoanalyzing Trump, even inventing new psychosis-ey words and stuff. Should be easy since he'll be subject to and available for perpetual invasive interrogation. Not sure what a probe can tell you about how a guy thinks but, hey, knock yourself out, eh? Inmates don't get a lot of privacy.

the simpleton's pathetic literacy level. One of the many ways electing him reflects so poorly on our country. And I don't blame the education system, except for in the ways Rs have purposely screwed it up,

11. So right. Since 1980 the GOP has been happy to sponsor the stupidest SOB's they can find.

Pathetic, last in class and overpromoted non-intellectual types must be easier to control.

6. Trump never "stole" his moral compass from anyone

Trump has no morals.

The standard phrase would be something like, “Trump has the morals of an alley cat.” Not true. An alley cat is far more moral than Trump will ever be.

Leave to trump to use this honorable intended week to boost his campaign!



First declared “National CHARACTER COUNTS! Week” in 1993, the U.S. President, U.S. Senate, state governors, and officials around the world proclaim the third week in October CHARACTER COUNTS! Week as a time to highlight character education and the importance of modeling good character. And every year millions of kids in dozens of countries participate.

9. This Is Just Trump Giving Lip Service to Hopefully Remedy Defects That He is Most Vulnerable On.

He's now like a drowning man grasping at straws in his re-election campaign, but somehow, he hopes that saying platitudes like this still might get undecided voters to vote for him.
