Having a real person as President is the most refreshing thing to happen on the American political stage in our lifetimes. And yet it seems some would rather have smallpox.

Bizarre. More bizarre even than cheering the arrival of the era of men marrying men. Our nation's mental health is at an unprecedented low.

  • Fox hunt
So, we have the people in the admin scurrying around to protect Trump from himself and the rest of us from Trump--- because NO ONE has the courage or wherewithal to deal with such insanity and sociopathy in our own president. (Nixon was on his way there, but Trump has lived there all along.)

Now, Trump is sending the hounds after the fox. Forget Apprentice. This is Survivor-White House edition combined with the first non-annual WH fox hunt. "Release the hounds." Foxy might bite Trump in the ass. Oops! Just did. Instead of seeing the criticality of the substance of what was said, Trump, of course, is going, ["Don't look at how crazy and amoral I am"], "Go get 'im (or her- MULTIPLE CHOICE no doubt). He might hurt me." Horrors!

In truth, if anyone were to assassinate Trump, it would be Putin for being dumber than dirt and not just desirably dirty. Or Melania, who finally had it up to here and reached her final straw.

In the meantime, Secret Service, with their eyes permanently in eye roll mode, are off to corner the culprit. And WH staff are going, "Not me! He went thataway. No! Thataway!" "Pssst! Trump's back is turned. Quick, grab that document off his desk!"

If there are those on the inside still appearing to tow the crazy line for Trump while others are striving for the saner one, it must be a mighty interesting place to work. Not good, but interesting. Go pro cameras worn backwards and WH physician on speed dial for massive doses of anti-anxiety meds and therapy referrals.

Is it possible for a country to die from shame and embarrassment? And frustration at the stupidity and low functioning of their president and his toadies? Let us hope not. Cause this could do it.

Plus she probably has Presidential aspirations.

then it was up to trump to have picked her for his running mate. the VP is an elected position ( per the US constitution ).

You may believe Ivanka is another inexperience ignoramus - in the political field - but I've listened to her speak on more than one occasion and she strikes me as thoughtful and intelligent. Why do you think she is an 'ignoramus?'

Why do you think the WH is going berserk, then? And don't try to deny it. All you have to do is check IQ45's Twitter feed and all the stories about everyone in the West Wing sending letters of denial. This is absolutely not a normal situation in the history of the presidency.

They wouldn't risk 167 years of credibility and reputation to write a fake letter that could make them a pariah if discovered. That's not at all how things work.

Look at Trump's reaction, and that of Sarah and Kellyanne. It's real, it was written by an intimate of Trump, and somebody at the NYT know the name fof the person who wrote it. The best part is, whoever it is is still in the West Wing, and Trump doesn't have a clue who he can trust anymore.

Oh but Two Scoops is totally unconcerned about it just like he said. He’s sure the Failing New York Times made this up, and he doesn’t have a traitor in his midst working against him. He just demanded the Times turn over the person to call their bluff, I’m sure.

He spends most of his time in Moscow. It probably wasn’t him. I bet the people in the White House who do share its sentiments (everybody not named Javanka) threw poor Jon’s name out there to get Two Scoops to shut up and leave them alone.
