I have to believe at some point the cult of personality will shatter and the Republican base is going to get sick of Trump pissing all over his hands with a political majority literally everywhere. I hope Trump's presidency is remembered the same way Chris Benoit is remembered by WWE.
I think it will more be remembered like Elton John when he tried to marry that chick. A nice mask attempt, but he's not fooling anybody.
So he just said this: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/891334415347060736 "If a new HealthCare Bill is not approved quickly, BAILOUTS for Insurance Companies and BAILOUTS for Members of Congress will end very soon!" I'm pretty sure this will hold as much water as the transgender military ban but he decided to say it.
Seriously. If his tweet starts drawing attention to the fact that only the insurance companies benefited from the ACA, and only they would benefit from changes to it, and that Congress doesn't have to abide by the same rules as all the people they impose them on, that would be terrible!
An empty spot where his presidential portrait would be? Good riddance, that portrait is trash anyway. Look at every President in recent history, they smile and stand upright and at least LOOK like they're real happy to be there. Not Trump tho, he slouches and gives the camera his patented You're Fired!(tm) death stare. Highest office in the land, most powerful seat in the world, and he still needs to present as tough and intimidating. Such a small man hiding inside a 6'3 frame.

NYT is saying that The Mooch is gone. Don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya! Edit: I can't believe how dysfunctional this administration is. And lord knows what they're hiding/what we'er not seeing. This is probably not a helpful thing to say but I really hope Trump just resigns. I think he's been used to getting his way all his life and then being king of the Apprentice just went to his head. He's not used to people disagreeing with him.
Noooo!!!! He provided so much funny!! Every time the dude opened his mouth, nothing but truth and class.
I used to operate under the assumption that being in the goddamned White House in any capacity would require some amount of intelligence that would have made it impossible to lose your job in 10 days. I used to do that.
I heard fox news wants to hire him after this to be their communications director for the russian mafia.
That sound you hear off in the distance is the loud wailing of a room full of SNL writers who have just had comedy gold yanked from their hands...
Oh, surely Trump's entire presidency so far is being filmed and edited into a reality show. Notice how MTV News has been rather silent with their complaints of his administration? Airing this Fall, Tuesday's at 9:00 pm (8 Central) is "The Donald: The White House Year(s?)"
