He's the same person who said his top foreign policy consultant would be HIMSELF.
This is just confirming what some of us had feared.
My problems was not with his vulgarity or policy on immigration or anything the liberals have been whining about, it's that he's utterly unqualified, clueless and his ego prevents him from seeing this.

Make no mistake. I HOPE he does well and I HOPE that he IS better president than we expect but this type of thing scares the crap out of me. We just elected someone to the office of POTUS who has no idea what the POTUS does all day, never MIND the issues and workings of government.

We really should have some kind of screening process. A general aptitude test before you can even be in the primary for you party.

I hope he does well but this is effing terrifying.
Well once again I will remind the hysterical melting down left, that the founding fathers did not feel it necessary to establish qualifications for the presidency other than age and citizenship.

Most of the people voting in the early days of our country were rag tag farmers who were illiterate.

I think we will be fine.

And once again I'll point out, that Trump's ineptitude and insularity are a far greater problem for Republicans, than for Democrats. Democrats can sit back for the next 4 years, casually
smirking. It's the Republicans who need to reign-in Trump, who need to form a coherent synthesis between Trump's populism and Paul Ryan's fiscal conservatism, who need to coach Trump on formulating a credible foreign-policy, who need to figure out how to balance the budget while allaying grievances of their base.

The Republican party now owns the federal government; it's theirs to break (or fix). Good luck.

It will be interesting and entertaining watching "The Apprentice" and his circus for the next four years, if he's not impeached or resigns first.

He's probably saying what the hell did I get myself into. The goon didn't even expect to get elected.

I would hope every president elect would have the humility to think that, and I'm quite sure most of them do.

LOL. The Trump Deranged have created 1000s of topics here about Trump that were 100% wrong. They were 100% wrong about who would win the election too. Now they say that Trump doesn't understand anything about being President.

Yet Trump just took down the two biggest political families in US modern History. Bush & Clinton. This proves that yet again, they are wrong.
