Indeed, a bit surprised. But Bill and him were a very young P/VP team.

This is absolutely brutal

Dear Meidas touch:
And yet you still lost to this guy.
NONE of this numbers are a surprise to any thinking person. We saw 4 years of daily incompetence, and we knew we would get 4 more.
So. Nah, not surprised.

The first term there were experts around him to stop a lot of his nonsense from getting through to the public or to yes him to death and strong arm people behind the scenes to stop any of his ideas (they're not policies) from being implemented. None of the people who worked in the first term came back so now we have the grifters and sycophants who have no idea of how government works and don't care as long as they get theirs around him.

It would be amusing if it wasn't potentially catastrophic to see the NYT, WaPo, LA Times et al dance around calling him for his outright lying about tariffs, the "negotiations" with China and the 200 deals he says have been made.

The pictures of an empty Port of Seattle should scare anyone with an ounce of sense.

Him being eight years older is probably a factor too.

He was stupid already in 2015.
He is the Forest Gump of politics, with the exception that Forest was well intentioned.

MORAN: Even some people who voted for you are saying, 'I didn't sign up for this.' So how do you answer those concerns?

TRUMP: Well, they did sign up for it actually

Well, first time I have heard he is right.

The NY Times is reporting Trump has (finally) ousted National Security Advisor Michael Waltz.

Was he from the previous admin?

No, he was a Trump appointee, and now he's going to be UN Ambassador.

He is the dingbat who added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic to the Signal chat that got Hegseth is such hot water.

I suppose it is not actually a bad idea to combine the roles of Secretary of State and NSA - Kissinger showed us what happens when they are not the same person.. their domains are the same, setting up for conflict is not a good org design anyway.

Another standard practice of modern dictators. The person that could not do job#1 well, gets moved to job#2, equally challenging.
