The American President clearly doesnt understand how Democracy works.

He doesn’t understand why we have 3 branches of government separate but equal with checks and balances, that no one person controls all levers.

Everyday this farce is allowed to continue is dismaying. The republicans should NEVER be allowed anywhere near government ever again if we do untangle this mess and reclaim democracy.

There are no profiles in courage on the right. There are no patriots.

I have to remind people that Trump doesn't know how _________ works.

He is the most willfully ignorant and, yet, arrogant dumbfuck I have ever seen.

If he hadn't had nannies and attendants taking care of him his entire life, he would have strangled himself in his own bedsheets long ago.
