He’s never going to recover his grip on reality. Now we just need to loosen his grip on the country.

He has a very tight grip on the republican party and his Cabinet.

The only grip he wants is on a golf club, well, he actually owns several, and hires immigrants to keep ‘em running.

Or a clue. But you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

Trump needs to get lost.

Full of deep fried okra and beer kegs, this is a major situation.

I can’t be wrong, I can’t be wrong, I can’t be….

They pulled all that unnecessary Puerto Rico aid for Alabama.

Has the Trump admin ever done anything right?

Neurosyphilis doesn’t allow him to recognize he needs to “get a grip”.

What he has achieved is a massive amount of damage to the nation, that may never be repaired!

Trump: Sorry PR, I’ve sent all the paper towels I can. I now must rebuild Alabama from the ravages of Dorian.

Reminds me of the Chinese curse: “May you live in interesting times.” It’s a good one.

Trump lies continuously but he also makes mistakes: Getting something wrong out of ignorance, rather than stating a deliberate lie. Including Alabama in his tweet about Dorian was a mistake. No-one thought it was a lie. In fact, issuing the warning & promising federal aid to states in the path of Dorian was arguably well-intentioned.

Everything Trump does is to feed his ego. So, here’s the irony: If Trump had followed up with a “Whoops, you’re off the hook, Alabama, lucky for you” correction of his mistake, no-one would have given the issue another thought. In fact, his effort to be inclusive in his warning & his offer of federal help to all states that might be in the path of Dorian, & a quick, humorous retraction of accidentally including an extra state in the warning, would have made him go UP in people’s esteem. Instead, he demonstrated that he has no understanding of what really feeds one’s self-esteem by making himself look ridiculous with his Sharpie & his threats to fire NOAA personnel if they didn’t back him up. That demonstrates how fundamentally backarsewards he is in his understanding of what would truly feed his ego. He lives to feed his ego, but he’s clueless about how to do it. What a sad, pathetic excuse for a man.

On reality? No, he has a firm grip on whatever nightmare world he lives in but it isn’t the reality we know.

Trumpublicans created homelessness by cutting programs for the poor.

Now they want to round up the homeless and put them in govt camps.
