Pres. Donald J. Felon doesn’t seem to be having a good time lately, but the question is whether he realizes it.
It’s almost as if the photo of him walking past an American flag on the ground is symbolic not only of what he’s done to this country but what he’s done and is doing to himself.
The image of the flag lying near the base of an illuminated flag pole on the White House grounds was released Sunday night by Getty Images. It contained the byline “Mandel Ngan/AFP.”
It’s almost as if he is continuing his streak of failures going back to his first bankruptcy.

And it’s almost as if he doesn’t know what he’s doing and, I don’t know, NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT THE FIRST TIME MUCH LESS THE SECOND.
Here are a few recent examples:
He’s having to reduce tariffs on things that have increased in price because he put tariffs on them.
Imports to the United States sharply decreased in August (see the item above).
Margie Q Greene doesn’t love him anymore.
The House voted 427 to 1 to release the Epstein files; the Senate didn’t even bother to vote, saying instead, sure what ev.
A federal court said Trump’s desired Texas redistricting is racial and therefore a no-go.
Turns out when you appoint crappy, but comely lawyers you are not set up for success in prosecuting your political rivals.
Also turns out that when you call a reporter asking a question “Piggy” you end up be portrayed as said pig over and over and over again.

Here’s Mary Trump’s comments on her uncle name-calling a reporter just doing her job.
The White House issued a statement that basically blamed Bloomberg reporter Catherine Lucey for deserving it. The statement, according to Huffington Post, said, “This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way toward her colleagues on the plane. If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take.”
What did she ask, you ask?
“If there’s nothing incriminating in the files, sir, what not—”
And that’s where the felon-in-chief pointed his finger at her and said, “Quiet! Quiet, piggy.”
Keeping in classy as usual.
You know what’s also interesting/depressing? I couldn’t find a comment about the name calling from the White House Correspondents’ Association on their website. When are reporters going to stay up for each other? Or are they all afraid of having access taken away from them?

We all know what Trump thinks of reporters in general.
In an Oval Office meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin “Bonesaw” Salman, the orange adjudicated rapist “angrily dismissed a question about the 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi,” the Washington Post columnist.
Trump called Khashoggi “extremely controversial” and said “a lot of people didn’t like that gentleman,” CNN reported.
In spite of the CIA assessing that the Saudi prince “likely ordered the murder,” the elderly golfer insisted bin Salman was not involved in Khashoggi’s brutal murder.
Referring to the Khashoggi, Trump said, “Whether you liked him or didn’t like him, things happen.”
That pretty much says it all.
