“Read this. Seriously.”

I think his lack of knowledge on a host of issues is one of the reasons we’re reading today that’s he’s ranting in the WH. He’s spent 71 years doing whatever he has wanted to do and having no one ever say “No” to him. I saw this trait last year on the campaign trail. He really thought being POTUS was easy, and that once he entered office, no one could tell him he couldn’t do certain things. One of the saddest things I witnessed was that those who flocked to his campaign events seemed to believe the same thing. If they’re disappointed in him today, it’s their own fault. They should have spent more of their time researching his background than they spent going to his campaign events and listening to him con them into believing he had the answers to all of their problems. I’m not surprised that Trump has experienced as high a level of failure as soon as he has. I saw it coming last year during the presidential campaign. I saw all of the bad character traits, the empty promises, and his stunning ignorance of all things related to the presidency. After he entered office, his first mistake was skipping the ethics sessions he was offered. The second mistake was delegating his responsibilities to inexperienced individuals whose main goal seems to be pushing their own agendas. He’s been had, and he’s been had good by the likes of Bannon, Miller, Conway, Priebus, Spicer, etc. They loaded his feeble brain up with praise, convinced him he is the best thing since sliced bread, and when the rubber began to hit the road, he has nothing, knows nothing, and doesn’t want to learn anything, and he’s seething because he’s being viewed by most Americans as the failure he has always been.

Mrs. FBW and I find ourselves in mild disagreement about this. I have been surprised by just how bad Trump is. I never imagined that he’d be as thoroughly incompetent as he has turned out to be. He’s like Sideshow Bob, stepping on rake after rake after rake.

Mrs. FBW, OTOH, says NONE of this surprises her. He’s every bit as incompetent as she expected.

It’s worth noting that I tend to be the more optimistic of the two of us, and she more pessimistic.

What I think would be ENORMOUSLY funny would be if, in the end, the only thing Trump’s been trying to hide is that he’s really not a billionaire, and that he ends up getting impeached, convicted, and removed from office for a criminal coverup of something that’s merely a little embarrassing.
