“If you’ve enjoyed recent episodes of “The President of the United States Being Personally Involved in Negotiating Things Like the Price of New Air Force One Planes, While the World Burns,” you’ll love the way our oafish narcissist-in-chief, lacking all economic perspective but full of unearned confidence, grows

There’s going to be a big crash, and we have less of a safety net than we did during the last recession. What will likely happen is a Democratic president will then have to “fix it” and everyone will hate Democrats again, and elect another man who publicly denies science, hates women, and represents everything the GOP

Considering the economy is acting the same way it did before the big recession a while ago, it’s easy to guess what’s coming next.

He is going to manipulate the shit out of the Fed to keep the stock market propped up until after the election.  The scarier thing is if he thinks he his reelection is not looking good he is going to start a war with Iran.  Every Republican knows that a wartime president is never voted out.  He even tweeted about it

The Trump building here in Chicago is a soulless lump of glass and steel on the riverfront. I’d rather see a parking lot there.

First, let’s stipulate that the stock market did very well on a percentage basis during the Obama administration post-2008 recession when the Dow hit a low of 6,547, and when he left office it was 19,827.
 

Is it just me, or does everyone else want to bend his thumb back until it breaks with a satisfying snap?

I’m looking forward to all new coinage with every denomination featuring Trump’s face. Use them quick before the cheap chocolate melts under the gold foil!

If you want to feel a bit better as a hardcore narcissist a lot of his life is a waking hell of being thirsty but no amount of water can ever fulfill his thirst longer than a second.

I would delete this reply, you really don’t want this out there.

Tread lightly...

Yeah, fuck that.

His entire life has been one continuous coast job. This is a man whose businesses lost a billion dollars over a ten-year period, and who suffered no significant repercussions for that (it’s possible he had to hold off on purchasing a fifth helicopter; my heart, it weeps for his suffering).

When consequences for actions

It’s just remarkable that he thinks this about himself. The man is so thunderously stupid that he genuinely doesn’t understand that he is, by any reasonable measure, a failure at everything he’s ever done. The only thing he’s successful at is grifting, and that’s because our country is set up in such a fashion that

Trump clearly believes he has the Midas touch. Unfortunately for the rest of us, he seems to have missed that all the “gold” Midas created was actually a bunch of heavy shit that weighed down everyone he came into contact with—up to and including himself.

But hey, this is the same guy who did a complete about-face on

Don’t Republicans hate welfare?

As the brilliant author put it:

If, by chance, you are ever tempted to call the authorities on a black any person for doing something that absolutely affects no one, such as eating or inhaling oxygen, ask yourself these three questions:
