Proof That Donald Trump Is Your Drunk Neighbour

The crazy Trump quote (which had previously occupied this space) purportedly from People Magazine in 1998 was as big a lie as The Donald himself so it’s been pulled. Here, let’s just take a moment and look under his hat:

Quick! Somebody Get Trump a Dictionary! (Oh and maybe a copy of the constitution and a high school civics book…)

Bear with me – have just watched the clip of Trump blaming Bush for the attacks of 9/11 and I want to make a point that no one else seems to be making or talking about.
Donald Trump blaming Bush for the 9/11 attacks is really no surprise. He attacks everything and criticizes everyone in office. Period. Add to that the delight he takes in jabbing at Jebbie and his criticisms are a no-brainer.
For me, the tell-tale sign – the give-away that he has no rational hold on reality is that he refers to the time GW was in office as his ‘reign’. And GW is not the first president to whom he has assigned this verb – he’s also used it to describe Pres. Obama.
But let’s be clear – United States Presidents do not ‘reign’ over the country. They are publicly elected officials with limited powers who are sworn to carry out the laws enacted by a publicly elected body of legislators. The president of the United States is not a privileged individual who gets to write laws or make his or her own rules for the country.Presidents are not kings who reign over a dynasty of peasants.
By continually using the verb ‘reign’ to describe Presidents Bush or Obama’s term of office, The Donald is letting slip his skewed and erroneous worldview of American politics and providing a window for the rest of us to have a good, hard look at his own personal expectations of what being a president means to him.
I sincerely wish the media would pay closer attention to his choice of words and less to the sound of his bark.

Pres. Obama got to interview one of his favourite authors – but the quote people are talking about came from him:

A FB Meme That Says It All *Special Update

How true is this!
SPECIAL UPDATE:
An Australian group called Gun Control Australia is calling for a boycott of all non-essential travel to the USA until the country fixes its gun problem. Full Story + video Here
Personally I think this is an excellent idea and I hope other countries get on board. Travel Boycotts and trade sanctions would not be out of line.
