Also the daily "TRUMP WANTS TO _______" when he isn't even president yet is just exhausting. He's just trolling everyone with the dumbest things possible and everyone is reacting to it (all this crap about Canada and Greenland).

It would be easier to just go with "yeah the POTUS is a silly head, don't listen to anything he says" if the dude hadn't already literally been in charge once and actually done a bunch of crazy shit.

A monkey got ahold of a knife and stabbed a bunch of people. We got it away from him but now he has it back and he's dancing around with it.

Is he trolling us? Absolutely. Can we afford not to pay attention? Nope.

Can we afford not to pay attention?

to cable news? Absolutely. Corporate run media and the Corporate owned DNC have now given us Trump twice. you'll have to forgive me for not caring about their drop in advertising revenue. yes, i know they were excited for big ratings/donations post Trump's election. no, i don't care that they aren't getting it.

This right here. It wasn’t even subtle.
