Yeah. They let me do it for a couple days. My first act as President I called a joint session of congress, and mooned them. They impeached me. No, wait. That was a dream. A very good dream.

in modern terms. FDR kept a girlfriend during his entire time as president. (it should be noted that his wife kept a girlfriend as well).


JFK was screwing anything that moved while he was in office. in todays terms he was the meetoo devil.


LBJ was a foul mouth ass that hacked off everyone. he forced his menions to follow him to the bathroom while he did is business.... while he was conducting presidential business.


Washington, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe ALL conducted personal/private business WHILE president. they maintained a desk in their presidential offices where they did private business.


Washington actually did some land speculation by purchasing land IN the area of the proposed new capital that would become Washington DC. He bought land from the government while running the government.


"act presidential"?


i could do this all day long.




i could also point out some really nice presidential presidents.... like Jimmy Carter.... who sucked at being president. i mean really really sucked.

John Quincy Adams used to skinny dip in the Potomac.

And FDR served HOT DOGS to the King and Queen of England.

I don't think even President Trump would serve Big Macs and fries to Prince William and Princess Kate. Harry and Meghan...maybe.

Nice try to deflect away from all the fantastic news and winning lately though OP!
Trump would be a ****ty president even if the stock market hit 50,000.

You guys just don't get it. It isn't all just about results. Its about following rules and doing things the way they are supposed to be done.

The other thing you just don't get is that the real work was done by the last president. Unemployment went from over 10% to 4.8%. Its gone from 4.8% to 3.5% under this one. Most people can count.

Default Acting Presidential?

So what? Ordinary politicians had let us down in the past. It was time somebody else stood up, and that time had come. President Trump is actually getting things done.

Actually, most people voted for Trump for the results. So you can believe whatever you want, but it is obvious that YOU don't, and never will get it.

Hitler revived the German economy even as the rest of the world remained mired in the Great Depression. Not saying Trump is Hitler (I think Hitler will be the leader who follows Trump if we remain on this path of right-wing authoritarianism) but there's more to being a great leader than how the economy is doing. Plus, the current stock market mostly benefits the very wealthy. My own financial situation hasn't changed much since 2012.

It's not like Trump had to deal with what Obama's predecessor left him for an 'economy.'

Trump started out on third base and thinks he hit a home run.
