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.

“Easily played”? LOL.
That’s this (alleged) woman’s middle name, it seems.
Children should be seen and not read.
And not seen.
Really? Crap from a college newspaper?
Waste of time and bandwidth.
Opinions are like a-holes, everybody’s got one.

The first rule of Dunning-Kruger Club is that you don’t know you’re in Dunning-Kruger Club.
The arrogance of idiocy.
Well at least we knew who was president for the last 8 years, Valerie.
Sophie sent her vagina costume to the cleaners and it wasn’t back in time to wear it to the big parade last week. She’ll get over it.
i.d.i.o.t.
The “what show?”
She's a beauty
She's one in a million girls
She's a beauty
Why would I lie?
Why would I lie
Here we go again!!! Wasn’t it Cheney who ran the White House for our last (R) “moron” elected, and Rumsfeld for the one before him???
To all Dems/socialists/communists/liberals -— redundant beyond belief:
R = ignorant, uncultured, uncouth, un-everything-positive
Sophie Allen is an idiot
I always try to check the source of such articles. In this case it took no deep analysis. The “Daily Show” equals Steven Colbert equals a tiny audience of basement dwellers equals fake news addicts.
The correct answer is that Trump has surrounded himself with extremely competent people. The Presidency does not require a life in politics but great management skills. He has them. Winning.
A classic example of Trump politics. He drops a little turd over there and as the liberals rush over and bend down to sniff at it, he whacks them over the head with their own playbook (Rules for Radicals). I look forward to 7 more years of watching this.
You go ahead and believe that if you’d like, Skippy.
Donald J. Trump is running rings around these jokers. They’ve been all comfy in their cozy little club for several decades, while Trump has been competing in the most vicious real estate market on Earth and been wildly successful. Calling him a fool, etc. is really saying that about the guy in the mirror every week or two when you have to shave that tiny bit of wispy stubble out from under your nose.
