While The Amazon Burns, Trump Is Tweeting About Dancing With The Stars

"SNIP.....

While the burning Amazon has sparked an international crisis, Donald Trump took to Twitter on Thursday night to tweet about ‘Dancing with the Stars’.

In his tweet, Trump sounded off about the news that Sean Spicer, former White House Press Secretary, will be joining the ABC reality TV show.

“Just heard that Sean Spicer will be on ‘Dancing with the Stars.’ He will do great,” the commander-in-chief said as the source of 20 percent of the world’s oxygen goes up in flames.

......

But it’s moments like these – when key issues of global importance are on the table – that Trump really shows himself to be unfit for office. He simply doesn’t have what it takes to be a global leader, which is why other figures are stepping up to the plate to do what Trump is incapable of doing.

to brag about himself and make others look bad (in his eyes). He has no actual ideas that aren't about xenophobia or other bigotry.

Trump had no leadership skills; never had, never will. He can't see beyond the trivial and inconsequentual things of little value because he has no interest in complex issues, they are beyond his intellectual grasp.

He has no understanding of his role as president in safeguarding the country and the wellbeing of ALL Americans. Because of our standing as the world's superpower, we have always taken the lead position in matters that have a global impact, but not Trump.

Trump is only interested in himself so the Amazon will burn.
