...just when you think Trump and his administration have hit rock bottom...

 
...he finds a deeper level.
 
 
How's your boy looking now Kurtster? Is this the kind of administration you were hoping for when you helped vote him in? Is he still "checking" your boxes? I suppose if your boxes include: grossly incompetent, racist, narcissist, unintelligent, uninformed, bully, crook (Trump University), ineffective leader, compulsive liar, hot daughter... then "Yes" he checks all those boxes. 
 
When do you say to yourself... "I've seen enough. This guy doesn't represent anything but chaos and doesn't come close to having what it takes to do the job"?

Donald Trump is the Magic 8-Ball president

No longer encumbered by those with hard partisan beliefs and specific policy goals, Trump reverted to his natural state: the crowd pleaser. There are three characteristics that drive Trump: his unwavering faith in his own genius, his desperate need of approval, and his deft ability to read a room. Combined, these traits have turned him into a wobbling wind-up toy, marching back and forth and in circles, directionless and unpredictable.
