Ain't that the truth of this presidency, that no matter what it'll soon be superseded by something even whackier.

Trump today also did something...fairly decent: https://www.yahoo.com/finance/news/trump-address-veterans-help-raise-165535103.html

All permanently disabled veterans have had their student debts forgiven and won't have to pay federal income taxes on it. He's also asking the states to waive their income taxes on the same.

In the same AMVETS speech, he also advertised a new drug by Johnson & Johnson and has claimed that the VA is going to buy as much of it as they can.

This is a good move on him, veterans need all the help they can get. Funding the military is important, but looking after those who have left it is also very important. No person should be left behind.

Trump has people who tell him what time it is. That's part of the problem, I think.

They have a handy pie chart for him, neatly delineated into..

FOX watch time
Tweet time
Listen to boring stuff time
Eat burger time
More tweet time
Play with crayons time
Sleepy bye bye time

Of course there's days set aside for Magical Rally Time and Golfing time as well.

Thank you for speaking sense.

Because politicians can't have a sense of humor like everyone else. :roll:

The idea of buying Greenland was a joke until it wasn't, and became an international incident.

Trump, as an individual, does not have a sense of humor. But then again, he has no empathy, and that makes humor difficult.

Presidents can have humor, but they also have to be aware of the position they hold. Usually, they take care not to damage the standing and credibility of the presidency. Trump has no such limitations, and that has led to both the position and the US not being taken seriously anymore.

I dont think he cares about the consequences of what he says. His supporters eat it up and love his insults and overall demeanor. They would welcome him giving a speech like Sidious did and declaring himself Emperor
