I'm flabbergasted by this word salad

I were about to pick here and there a sentence but I gave up. What to pick, what to leave????

the whole exchange (Trump's part) is a piece of nonsense

Australia's president was unable to get his point across regarding their immigration policy and the reasons for it. And Trump supposedly understands English! The man lies so often it's impossible to keep track. Can you imagine saying that about any previous American president? These really are scary times.

It is, somehow, what brought me to register and trying, as helpless as I am, to give you some moral support and let you know that you not alone. Well, at least, speaking for myself, I will not let you down or buy that stupid stereotype "ugly undereducated americans"

I don't know wich of previous American presidents is considered as the worse ever, but even that one is no doubt, a genius in comparison.

The fact that he was chosen by the Supreme Court, so the election was in question, let alone when he launched the Iraq War - which made no sense since Iraq had nothing to do with the September 11th attacks. But even he seems sane and relatively knowledgeable compared to Trump. We'd rather have him than Trump.

in mind since he is a contemporary one I witnessed. I just have a general knowledge of the american presidents. I can name some of them and roughly picture their legacy but not very much more. I might have missed one but apparently not

In fact, Bush was bad and some of his moves still hurts many around the world. I said somewhere that I have not always agreed american foreign policies (as well as I don't always subscribe to our own leaders policies). I were particularly referring to Bush.

However, I'm not sure there will be a president as tremdously bad as Trump Furthermore, I'm pretty sure he will, in the future, personify the famous "exception to te rule"

Eviscerated the cheap con man on so many levels

The whole show was exemplary of the sort of journalism that might save what's left of whatever's left

Look for it

....accurate and spot on in its spoof of Trump to continuing call back the Mexican President and him saying "No, Donald....We are still not paying for the wall"...

Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction....

that Nieto gives a damn how the Con's lies look to the American people. It takes a level of arrogance to assume that the President of sovereign state that you have insulted will lie about your lie to make you look credible to your sheeple.

Groper Don the Con is not a well person.
