Rules of Getting Reelected - Make EVERYTHING about YOU.

This is only conditioned response behavior - it’s all he’s ever done, so when his cognitive functions are gone, it’s what comes out.

It’s like having a self-propelled cardboard cutout as president.

There is no speech-writer on the planet dumb enough to write that.

Takes a special talent of stupidity to be able to insult so many people on so many different sides of multiple conflicts......it really is amazing....but not in a good way.
