Don't worry. Trump has the best words.

And of course Mueller was a topic....
“But he made a point to take on Mueller, commenting extensively on key parts of the investigation, as the probe appears to be winding down. "So now we're waiting for a report, and we'll find out ... who we're dealing with," Trump said. "We're waiting for a report by people that weren't elected."
"You put the wrong people in a couple of positions and they leave people for a long time that shouldn't be there, and all of a sudden, they're trying to take you out with bullshit, OK," he added. The President lambasted Mueller as an unelected prosecutor running unchecked and accused the special counsel's team of investigators of being stacked against him. "Robert Mueller never received a vote and neither did the person that appointed him," Trump said in an apparent reference to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who was appointed by Trump and named Mueller as special counsel in May 2017. "Robert Mueller put 13 of the angriest Democrats in the history of our country on the commission," Trump said, adding, "One of them as involved with the Hillary Clinton Foundation, running it. Another one has perhaps the worst reputation of any human being I've ever seen -- all killers. In fact, it would have been actually better for them if they put half and half and Mueller can do whatever he wants anyway, which he'll probably do." While one of the Mueller team's lawyers, Jeannie Rhee, previously represented the Clinton Foundation in a racketeering lawsuit and several of the lawyers have made personal donations to Democrats in the past, the majority of them have been longstanding Department of Justice employees. Trump also argued that Mueller was compromised due to his prior interest in being FBI director after Trump fired James Comey, and repeated a favorite allegation that Mueller and Comey are "best friends." Comey has said in the past that he and Mueller are not best friends.”
Sounds like trumpy is pissed that someone “bought and paid for” isn’t in Mueller’s position. It’s pretty darn clear with trump saying this—that he WAS trying to obstruct the investigation.

That man is a fucking idiot. I cannot believe that this is where we are as a country. A man is in charge who is ignorant at best about almost every topic concerning the world. He does does not read. He does not listen to advisors or specialists in various fields. He seems to have rejected all forms of peer reviewed science. He only listens to his children, maybe his wife, and himself. Unfuckingbelievable.

I have never been so infuriated by a living human being as I am by this man. Add in his supporters! As far as I can remember, he is the only President who cusses purposely during speeches and rallies. I may not have always agreed with other presidents' ideas or policies, but I have never been ashamed every time they open their mouth like I am with Trump. So true!

Actually Sessions WAS elected more then a few times including US Senator! Unelected? Does he realize his new AG Bier is UNelected as is former AG Whitaker, as are ALL US Prosecutors and ALL Federal Judges! Who is he saying are 'killers'?

The man has been using the same tactics for decades and people are stupid enough to fall in line to do his bidding until he is done with them. Then he turns on them & throws them under the bus.

If I didn't despise the man with the heat of a thousand suns, I might actually feel sorry for him. It can't be easy having to deal with dementia setting in. Either that or he's just incredibly stupid. But the two are not mutually exclusive so perhaps it is both 🤷🏻♀️

Personally I think he’s distracting everyone’s attention away from the real damage republicans are doing (ex: federal court appointments) things that are not front page news—like what DeVos is doing with schools, selling off park lands for business, etc.

He is as dumb as fuck. Jesus Christ is he an idiot. I SWEAR, this is his 1960's comedian look, as though he believes he's another Henny Youngman or Rodney Dangerfield! I'm old enough to remember the body language and the speech patterns...... He thinks he's hilarious!!!!!

and when he does that ridiculous sing-songy voice thing...it makes me want to reach through the screen and slap that right out of his mouth.
There was a thread recently called "what stupid stuff do you believe?" and I didn't reply because I thought I didn't believe anything stupid. However I was wrong, I genuinely believed before the last election that surely the VAST MAJORITY of Americans could see what a fucking idiot Trump was and as a result there was ZERO chance he'd be elected. Surely no-one would vote for this clearly incapable moron and everyone could see his attempt at being president was a joke that no-one would take seriously. Yep, turns out that was the stupidest thing I've ever believed.
Every time he opens his mouth he manages to sink to a new low or say something even more ridiculous than the last time.
The bar is set so low now that not even single celled amoebas can limbo under it.

One more thing: I was spending time on a soap opera chat I'm on (don't laugh), just to forget about some of the stupid things I heard coming out of Trump's mouth (adding to that his daughter's first lie caught on tv; KAC lying to Fox News about Jared's clearance and about Trump siding with Kim about Otto W.).................. Then all of a sudden this person begins talking about how 'blessed' we are to have Trump save us. WTF? I felt compelled to come back with my own take on Trump, being a New Yorker and having remembered him from the 70's and on......... This person claims that we are all making up bad stuff about him because we're "jealous" and he's doing wonders for the black and latino population, and doing amazing things for our country.
I answered every delusional comment this person made until I realized it was fruitless and then I reported him/her. I looked up their profile info and it seemed........ empty. There were 2 more people backing up that person and their profiles were equally vague. I'm HONESTLY thinking that social media is taking a turn already and having these bots show up to defend Trump!!
Thankfully the moderator banned those people and thanked me. Ridiculous stuff!!!!!!!

It is beyond terrifying and surreal in equal measure. another reason (along with climate change etc) why my kids and "those damn millennials" don't want, or are at least second guessing, ever having kids of their own. Who wants to think of bringing lives you'd treasure over your own into this mess. Many aren't even expecting to live a long life and if they do aren't expecting a fair shot at financial security of the past. Who can blame them? I don't. I want to be encouraging but I see their point.

I think the people who elected him need to shoulder the blame. I simply can’t understand what is wrong with their brains! The Christians who continue to support him are the most hypocritical people I’ve ever witnessed. I think one guy at CPAC said Trump was smarter than Jesus or something to that effect. I do now understand how cults are formed because his supporters believe whatever comes out of his mouth, no matter how incredibly untruthful.

Yeesh, what churches do they belong to??? That's frightening!! Putting Trump in the same sentence with religion or God, is the most odd thing I could ever imagine! He's the least religious person I know of, so hearing anyone praise him, is beyond me.......
