It’s only been three weeks.  And Donald Trump has been nothing but failure after failure. He has revealed he is not just a conman, but really a stupid, weak man. He promised to “drain the swamp,” but his cabinet is insiders and millionares that are each as incompetent and removed as Betsy DeVos. He told his voters he would implement a Muslim Ban, and he did, for a few days before it was stopped and all the while still trying to pretend that it wasn’t a Muslim Ban. He promised a wall finaced by Mexico, but not only will there NEVER be a wall, but the US taxpayers would’ve funded the bloated $21 billion mistake. He promised to return jobs, but those in manufacturing have not only left but they are becoming automized. No one will have a factory job, not in Michigan or Mexico. He promised that he wouldn’t profit off the presidency, but there is no way he hasn’t. He promised tougher action in the Middle East, which I mean he did do. It was just a catastrophic failure that resulted in losing Yemen’s trust. His stupidty caused the deaths of twelve Yemeni citizens and one American eight-year-old girl.

And he’s doing all this while tweeting and watching Fox News. Since Trump is being veiwed as a security breach by the US intellegence community and he rejects daily briefings, it seems that his updates comes from the hours of network television including Fox News. And the briefings he does recieve were asked to be one-page with lots of graphics and maps. His policy updates are broadcasted, unfiltired and suicidally raw across Twitter.

Honestly, I do follow him on Twitter because I know that is where the breaking news in stupidity will be. But to be fair, he is a seventy-year old man in obvisouly poor health who has taken to wandering the White House in a bathrobe, confused and out of the loop. Don’t worry though! There is a president behind this one, Steve Bannon! The unabashed racist, fear-mongering Hitler-imitation. And he effectively has full control of the government and was the mastermind behind the Muslim Ban and his usurping of the National Security Council.
