"... I can be more presidential than any president that’s ever held this office." 

LOL. Guess who was in Ohio today promising to bring manufacturing jobs back?

I just saw this on CNN. Lemon's face was priceless.

Sheeewee, He thinks he's better than Reagan? That'll make the GOP care for almost 10 seconds.

[Dumbledork]

I thought he loved Andrew Jackson?

He does.

He just loves himself more. 'Merica.

Oh, for sure. Just surprised he put Lincoln above himself. Confederates will love that.

Every time Russia comes up, I think what would Regan think?

This man is sick. As each day passes, I find fewer and fewer reasons to believe he is not experiencing a significant cognitive decline.

His supporters brush him off as "Trump being Trump", but if you look back to stuff from him even 10 years ago, there is a significant difference, in my opinion. There's just no way to justify comments like this or some of the things he said at the BSA Jamboree.

Trump: 'I won't say' that I should be on Mount Rushmore

thehill.com/homenews/administration/343786-trump-i-wont-say-that-i-should-be-on-mount-rushmore?amp

President Trump at a Tuesday evening rally floated the idea of someday being on Mount Rushmore before turning to attack the press corps.

During a rally in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump turned to a routine talking point, saying "every president on Mount Rushmore believed in protecting American industry."

But the president quipped that if he jokingly suggested he should be on Mount Rushmore, the media would take him seriously.

"Now here's what I do. I'd ask whether or not you someday think I will be on Mount Rushmore," Trump explained.

"But here's the problem, if I did it joking, totally joking, having fun, the fake news media will say 'he believes he should be on Mount Rushmore.' So I won't say it. Okay? I won't say it."

The president reiterated his recurring attacks on the press, calling the media "a dishonest group of people."


"But every president -- they'll say it anyway, you watch. 'Trump thinks he should be on Mount Rushmore. Isn't that terrible?" Trump added.

[stephm0188]

omg.

He didn't ask Russia to interfere with the election either. Nope. Never happened. FAKE NEWS!

[al320]

Well, theres no subjective measure for presidentialness, so its a pretty full of crap statement no matter how wrong he is anyway.

Also, the operative word may be "can." He didnt say "is." Sure, anyone CAN be anything, hypothetically. I CAN be queen of the universe. Im not. But i can.

[WanderingWinoZ]

i'll say it...he's nuts
What does that even mean?? Acting like a foolish, idiotic, criminal who gets nothing accomplished is more presidential than everything that every president in history has every done??

Yes, he is definitely impaired. However, I think most of what comes out of his mouth is a direct result of being rewarded for it, in applause and attention.

[curbsideprophet]

I think his use of can is interesting. So he could act presidential if he really wanted to, he just chooses not to. I honestly don't think he can.

[krystee]

Can you imagine what the Gettysburg Address would have sounded like if Trump had been president? 😢

[anyastroud]

.

[pitta12]

I've also noticed that his speeches involve more and more violent imagery as time goes on. The OH speech had a tirade about immigrants "slicing and dicing" people to torture and cause slow and painful death. Now, IDK what Fox News has had on so maybe he's responding to something there, but the shit coming out of his mouth is getting darker. It seems like his narcissistic rage is building, which is a dangerous situation.

"Four score and seven years ago, I won the popular vote, and crooked Hillary and her emails lost. The end."

Here's the part of the speech I was referring to.

[Wallflower]

On the upside, at least he knows that Lincoln is dead.

That's the part that gave me the LOLs. Including "late", because that needed to be stated.

[tugsgirl]

I wanted to go to this yesterday, strictly to give him the finger, spit at him and leave.

WTF? The bar is so low that this crazy, racist nonsense is not even getting any press. OMG. 

[nicbreeful]

Why does he talk about Lincoln like he died last month? Wtf?

[Nightlight]

That quote about teen girls -it sounds like hes enjoying what he saying -like he's reveling in thinking about this happening to a 15 year old girl. The darkness in this guy is horrifying.

Considering the sexual things he's said about underage girls and his own daughter.. It doesn't surprise me.

Yes. Even if Stephen Miller or somebody led him down this path, he was clearly waaayyyy into telling this story. It is fucking creepy.

[stephogirl]

Just...what?!?
