Conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg: “For a very long time now, I have been predicting the Trump presidency will end poorly because character is destiny….Weirdly, it’s gotten to the point that when I say President Trump is not a man of good character, I feel like I should preface it with a trigger warning for many of my fellow conservatives.Most of the angry responses are clearly rooted in the fact that they do not wish to be reminded of this obvious truth. But others seem to have convinced themselves that Trump is a man of good character, and they take personal offense at the insult, even though I usually offer it as little more than an observation. They rush to rebut the claim, citing banal or debatable propositions: He loves his children! He’s loyal to a fault! He’s authentic! Never mind that many bad men love their children, that loyalty to people or causes unworthy of loyalty is not admirable, and that authentic caddishness is not admirable. Moreover, he is not remotely loyal to his wives or the people who work for him.”
And also this from Jonah Goldberg: “What’s most worrisome is that these defenders are redefining good character in Trump’s image, and they end up modeling it.Others assume that I am referencing the president’s style, specifically his insults and Twitter addiction. What his defenders overlook is that his insults are not simply an act; they are the product of astonishing levels of narcissism, insecurity and intellectual incuriosity…..But Trump’s refusal to listen to advisers; his inability to bite his tongue; his demonization and belittling of senators who vote for his agenda but refuse to keep quiet when he does or says things they disagree with; his rants against the First Amendment; his praise for dictators and insults for allies; his need to create new controversies to eclipse old ones; and his inexhaustible capacity to lie and fabricate history: All of this springs from his character.”

Trump stinks with his guts, I mean he said he ‘thinks with his guts’.
And like the picture shows they may be all over the landscape soon.

After throwing federal employees out of work over Christmas,
yesterday Trump signed something to end the 2 1/2% pay raise for federal employees.
Trump is a Scrooge and a Grinch all in one.
