I always hate the “Not my President” nonsense because that’s not how it works- yes, he is my President, unfortunately and god damnit. But I made an exception for this t-shirt.
The nice thing about this shirt is that even if Trump is impeached, it works for Pence, too! So its got good shelf life.

Maybe make a copy for Melania. She seems to be giving off plenty of ‘I’m not actually married to him’ vibes.

A sinkhole opened Monday in front of President Donald Trumpâs Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and the reaction was full of bad jokes.
Most comments about a gateway to hell, but I think it’s an escape tunnel to Mother Russia. Tunnel with no stairs.

I’m sorry John, but I’m one of those, “not my President” people.
I’ve never said the words, “President Trump” and I never will. He didn’t win the office, he stole it. He’s not fit to wear the title and I hope he’s booted out before his term goes a full four years.

@donnah: I’m with you. Right after the election, a former co-worker tried her best to get me to say “MY” president and I wouldn’t. This seemed to be important to her to get me, a known Democrat in a sea of Republicans who probably caved and voted for the idiot Trump (they don’t seem to be owning up to it so much now), to say that DT was my President. I later emailed her and said DT was “the” President but was not and never would be “my” President.

Trump may be the president-asterisk, but he’s not my president. I did everything I could to prevent him from being elected so, sorry, Trump voters, you don’t get to blame your gullibility on me or claim that I am somehow responsible for your stupidity. This one’s on you.

Even David Stockman went on the radio the other day to laugh at this. Not that anyone in the Trump admin has heard of him (nor anyone in Speaker Ryan’s office cares one whit) but even St. Ronnie’s OMB guy knows this is total shit.
Also, too, see Kansas under idiot true believer Brownback. But whatever, we can’t have nice things because too many in our news business can’t be counted on to push back on this hogwash.

Maybe I’m giving her undeserved credit, but isn’t touching between opposite sexes a no-no in most Arab countries? She might have been slapping his hand away for that reason. Not that she probably isn’t completely repulsed by Trump. I seem to remember a famous picture of Trump hand-in-hand with a Saudi prince, with the explanation that men hold hands in Arab countries frequently. It might be that Melania actually remembered the cultural taboo. Would straing credibility that the shitgibbpon would be aware of it, especially since the Saudis spent most of the visit pumping his ego.

She’s memorized all the presidents, in order, and will recite them at odd times as a memory exercise (we’re old). Her most recent ruler has a photo of Obama. I asked her what she’ll do when I give her the ruler with schitzgibbon on it. She told me she’ll use a hole punch on his face.

One telling measure of how awful a person and POTUS Trump is that he’s managed to make me do something I never thought possible – missing President George W. Bush. Yeah, so I miss President Barack Obama vastly more, and would vastly have rather had President Al Gore than George W. Bush, but that’s how far we’ve fallen that Bush looks responsible, competent, and compassionate by comparison to the ShitGibbon.
