A few months ago, “The Daily Show” had a recurring segment asking, “Who is the real president?” Their roundup included influential conservatives in and out of the White House. Since President Donald Trump has proven time and time again that he is easily played – it is clear from his conduct and his statements that Trump does not know what he’s doing as president – anyone from Satan to Vladimir Putin could be featured on the list. Given his ignorance, a president who has little-to-no understanding of how government works must be influenced by a more knowledgeable party, if for no other purpose than to simply fill in the gaps in his awareness...
In the end, it doesn’t really matter who holds the official title of president, especially not in the wake of a government shutdown for which both parties are openly blaming each other – in particular, a political climate where senators and the president insult each other on Twitter. It doesn’t matter who’s calling the shots in the Oval Office when outside, citizens can turn the tide for good. The 2018 election isn’t far away and right now, with Republicans controlling the legislative branch during a tumultuous and disappointing time for their constituents, more people than ever might be motivated to vote and change the make-up of the House of Representatives and Senate. In November, and in all upcoming special elections, every vote counts.

Then STFU!.....................
But.....Donald Trump self-identifies as the President! Isn’t that enough for these snowflakes?
UMASS nose picker return to your safe zone immediately.
Well played, sir!
Well then, Obama was never really president either.
“The Daily Show” ...
Today’s younger generations get their news from the Comedy Channel. Likely while munching on Tide Pods. :-/
I love laughing out loud in the morning. I wonder who is getting played? Hint, it ain’t the president.
UMass Daily Dumbass.
Miss Sophie wants a system where every vote counts - once - then no one is ever allowed to change anything again. The 2016 election changed out the Obama system, and came as a great shock to those who believed collectivism was eternal.
I blame Twitter.
Who watches
Doesn't Congress declare war?
There is no smugger group of highly opinionated know-nothings than the dipshits who get their news from Comedy Central and HBO. They mistake learning how to snark about things with actually having any serious understanding of any of the days issues.
Their confidence in their intelligence is inversely proportionate to their knowledge, and they always imagine they are the smartest person in the room. Because they half-understand a faulty and pitifully dweeby zinger from Steven Colbert.
Too funny - an ignorant “collegian columnist” calling Trump ignorant despite all the evidence that he’s probably the most savvy person to inhabit the WH, or roam D.C., since .......forever...
No one asked that question of Hussein, and VJ wasright front and center for all to see. More commie projection.
‘turn the tide for good’?
Speaker Pelosi is not in the best interest of this country. Remember the economy the last time she was speaker?
2007-2011
Worst economy since the 1920’s
Sophie is drinking early today, I see...
Sophie - you’re an incredibly ignorant slut.
