The President of the United States of America is now being compared with a monkey throwing excrement at people - by a poster who seems to think that this is a way of making the president look less stupid?

Why yes, so he is.

Not that your example would be accurate as stated anyway, but the Prez isn't really hitting much of anything with his poop-flinging. The morongutan-in-chief is pretty much just smearing it all over himself, while his supporters try to justify why he hasn't learned any different or better over the past 5 or so years.

But, hey - keep it up. No Republican or conservative whining about past Presidents or future candidates will ever close the gap between their fatuous claims and the actual and continuous discharge of infantile spittle dribbling out from the spoiled child currently squatting in the Oval Office.

I don't have a problem with it. Neither did the charitable organizations that received donations as a result of that book's sales, like the Fisher House Foundation.

Not that Obama writing a 40-page book has anything to do with Trump tweeting juvenile ridiculousness every day while glued to the boob tube, anyway.

Oh, that explains why we never hear anything about his tweets from Democrats or on the News.

Your post is a little incoherent here, but it seems like you said - "but Democrats have suffered a net loss of over 1,000 seats in all levels government over the last decade because people are voting for Republican candidates"

Yet articles have been printed that contradict your claim...wipe your shirt, some KG stupidity has dripped on it.

Don't have to...i provided verified source and you provided an unverified source...I feel comfortable in letting literate people resolve that difference.

Back to the OP.

There seems to be good reason to think that it is on the whole likely that the President of the United States spends a significant part of his day watching television (mainly or in large part Fox News) and emitting his reaction to what he sees in the form of tweets.

If true, does this bode well for the governance of the United States? I'd say that on balance it does not.

I'd be interested to hear any reasons for concluding that this state of affairs is, on the contrary, likely to be good for the country.

The news is free to report on people making fools of themselves.

Were I a Democrat, I might be worried about that. But, I'm not, and I don't have a broken heart over, say, Republican policies contributing to increased coal use, habitat erosion, or clogged waterways in West Virginia. My Republican friends in Appalachia can deal with that, whilst they struggle to find health care at a reasonable cost for their worsening emphysema and cancer. w00t! Republican Coal Age policies rock!

Sorry, but I'll just take you at your word when you say, "...your logic, reasoning, and insight into the Executive Branch is astounding." Thanks! No reason to try to wriggle out of anything.

The claim that proceeds from "Of Thee I Sing" have gone to charity? Are you confused about what you wrote where?

Actually, you haven't yet. But you're free to do so.

Agreed.

Only if he starts watching the National Geographic channel exclusively.
