This 1930s German cartoon comes to mind:

Serious question: how long can he get away with this shit? The CIA speech was jaw dropping and now this ... can’t someone declare him mentally unfit? Or impeach him for just lying about whatever he wants to lie about?

Traditionally the job ages the President by a decade or so per term. Trump is too lazy and stupid to sweat the responsibility, but damned if I’m not reassured that he WILL sweat every single slight, embarrassment and insult. He will enrich his brood, set the country back decades, and ruin our global reputation, but at…

Many members of the media are understandably finding it very difficult to report on this press conference in a straightforward manner.

I do like how the press has been responding to this. Perhaps it angered them into growing spines? Or remembering their duty to facts and the truth? Either way I hope they keep it up.

I mean, he’s already after them, what have they got to lose?

Oh, they should have just let it go. Made no issue of it and just allowed it to slide. As of now, this is only going to become a new chapter in Trump’s on-going epic meme, “Trump is over compensating for his tiny penis.”

So embarrassingly petty.

“How many fingers am I holding up, Winston?”
“Four.”
“And if the Party says that it is not four but five — then how many?”

Dear Leader’s Most Glorious Parade.

Oh thank god, it’s a white guy. I was afraid Trump would surround himself with women and minorities and the white male voice would be ignored...fears assuaged.

This is how you decide to start your presidency? Fuck me, it’s going to be a long 4 years.

But nobody has the numbers, right?

He lied poorly, too. You’d think Trump would have hired the best liars. Sad!

“This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period”

This is like the reporting on Kim Jung-Il inventing the hamburger.

I just watched Florence Foster Jenkins. It made me think she would have been better served if all her audiences just laughed at her.
