I see now why the Department of Education has to go. It clearly never did a damn thing for him.

Well the current Department of Education was established in 1967, too late for Trump to get any benefit from it maybe?

Trump was born in 1946. The Department of Health, Education and Welfare was created in 1953. The Department of Education was split out from that in 79/80 (the rest becoming HHS). Maybe he’s pissed they weren’t there when he needed them most.

I did not read the book about Trump, but I suspect he was always on "the rich track" and can only blame the private schools and all that they find on that track.

I find it extremely odd that the Convicted Felon considers English to be the official language, especially since he can neither speak, read, pronounce, or spell it. He has an extremely limited English vocabulary that consists virtually entirely of words of no more than two syllables. And he mispronounces those.

--- Attributed to Albert Einstein

He's stuck on an endless loop of demonstrable lies. Didn't even bother to come up with new ones for the occasion. Only positive thing to come out of his stream of unconsciousness was he did manage to help the suits filed against DOGE by saying it was headed by Muck. Problem is, his law firm, aka the DOJ, has been telling judges in litigation a woman named Amy Gleason, who was on vacation in Mexico when they made the representation to the court, is the Acting Administrator. You go asshole. "Made it, Ma! Top of the world!”

How can anyone criticize this comment by The Donald:

“China steals United States Navy Research drone in International waters — rips it out of water and takes it to China in unpresidented act….”

He speaks the truth here. There was no president involved.

What everyone seems to forget is that in addition to his difficulty with language, he's a poster child for adult ADHD, inattentive type. He's impulsive, has the attention span of a caffeine-addled gnat, and has great difficulty digesting any sort of complex information. And the worst part is, he doesn't care.

Ack please don’t lump us all in with him! He’s a poster child for un- or mis-managed adult ADHD, inattentive type! (But when managed well, we are benign and creative!) And more importantly he’s probably a sociopath and definitely a narcissist. OK enough distraction I must now re-direct my attention back to actual work… 😆🧚🏼‍♀️

Oops, sorry, yes -- definitely un-managed. And yes, at least two personality disorders.

In all fairness, typos are a professional hazard when you type on a phone, even with tiny hands. Although I’m guessing he does not recognize he’s made a mistake. It’s not the message but its stoop-idity and lies.

He would never admit to making a mistake. It's "alternative spelling".

"They come up to me and say, 'Sir, where do you find such beautiful words? And the same beautiful ones?' It comes with the territory, I tell them. When you're a stable genius, you just naturally have beautiful words. Big, beautiful words --- words like 'big,' and 'beautiful.'"

The elderly golfer's speaking style is unwatchable. Example: "I want to thank our great... (pause while he rummages through his vocabulary cupboard, finding empty shelves where "adjective", "synonym", and "humility" should be before finding yet another can of "great" on the lower shelf next to the jar of "beautiful" and continues) ... "great, great [insert title and name of latest sycophant to offer praise for his leadership]".

Not only is Marco Rubio a leightweight chocker, Trump already has set Rubio up as the scapegoat when Trump's delusion of seizing the Panama Canal falls flat ("Trump claimed during his speech that the agreement had been violated and that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in charge, adding with a chuckle, “Now we know who to blame if anything goes wrong.”"). As Sec State, Rubio can only negotiate; he doesn't have the authority to order troops. And there's no way Trump will accept responsibility or blame for anything.

He doesn't ever take responsibility for the bad things -- only credit for the good things.

He's especially good at claiming credit for good things done by others.

I don't mean the good things he's done -- he hasn't done any good things -- but any good things that happen while he's President. Four full days of sunny weather, bridge didn't fall down, Chiefs win the Super Bowl -- oh, wait a minute -- they lost, despite his cheering for them. Taylor Swift's fault!!!!
