what he is doing. Unfortunately the gop does not care how much damage he does. I can not wait for us to finally have an ADULT in the WH, with competent aides and advisors. There will be a God-awful mess to clean up. Sounds like a job for a democratic president. The gop is only good at making messes, not cleaning them up. Maybe they are counmting on this, having a (D) clean up everything, then electing another asshole like tRump.

Reagan/GHW Bush - Clinton did the cleanup
W Bush - Obama did the cleanup

Even President Carter, in the four short years he held the office, solved the "insoluble" problems of Vietnam-era draft evaders (he pardoned them), the peaceful return of the Panama Canal to Panama, and the diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China instead of the Republic of China (Taiwan). These, among others, such as appointing Paul Volcker to head the Federal Reserve, did much to clean up the awful messes of the Nixon/Ford administrations. Remember those pathetic "WIN" (Whip Inflation Now) buttons and the Swine Flu debacle?

and the country is getting more divided. The fact is--he won't study the notes handed to him because he won't let experts get in the way of his agenda as supreme dictator of this stolen democracy. He's been planning this coup for decades and has pre-scripted everything, including using Putin as his muscle. He most likely could earn a PhD in Bush v. Gore and how that election was a sham.

He also knows that this is the age of apathy, reality tv, and anti-intellectualism (think of Henley's "All She Wants to Do is Dance&quot . He knows he is a God to the red states and the hordes of uneducated rednecks there who blame everything he's doing to them on people of color. He knows that the average IQ is 100 and that he can command the 50% below that mark.

And he knows that he has FOX, Sinclair, and hundreds of other RW media and Internet Nazis spreading their nonsense and repeating lies to support his anti-American agenda until his kids take over--just like in North Korea. And don't forget the voting machines. It doesn't matter if he has a 37% approval rating as long as 60% of the Diebold machines like him.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THAT STUPID M-F-ING ICON CAME UP AFTER THE SONG TITLE. PLEASE DISREGARD THAT SHALLOWNESS.
