This is the ridiculousness that worked for a year-and-a-half. And maybe still does.

Who is this guy kidding? What a strange reality he lives in.
The BBC question following up that quote was perfect. "Was the rollout of the travel ban an example of this well-oiled machine?"

I feel like Charlie Sheen's entire life was a metaphor for Donald Trump's presidency.

I couldn't watch that news conference. I had to keep changing the channel cause I was so embarrassed for him. I know his supporters like it when he gets like that but jesus what an epic disaster.

"I am the least anti-Semitic person" literally means you are anti-Semitic but less than every other anti-Semite you know.

Good God that was awkward. So basically, if he gets a question he doesn't want to or can't answer, he just screams "fake news" to get out of it? Are there really that many dumb people out there that buy this? Besides Alabama I mean.

The intensity of the public’s early views of Trump is striking: Fully 75% either approve or disapprove of Trump strongly, compared with just 17% who feel less strongly. Nearly half (46%) strongly disapprove of his job performance, while 29% strongly approve.
Looking at the tables now. It's stunning how old his base is. He's tickling 70% disapproval among under 30's, and is over 61% with 30-49 crowd.
72% disapproval among women under 50. 59% disapproval among independents.
Republicans are fucked. No wonder they're in hiding. If they turn on him they lose the base, but you can't win elections without women and independents. Chaffetz is probably doing the smart thing: angle for a lapdog position and to hell with your state job.

I just can't hear people say "well he must be intelligent he ran a business for so many years/he got this far obviously he's not dumb!"
he's dumb. The guy is so dumb.
