I am confused...

Which of the following best encapsulates/mirrors Trump’s careless, callous incompetence...?

1. Philip Franklin, infamous executive of the White Star Line, who foolishly boasted that the Titanic was “unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable...”
2. Marie Antoinette who, when told of the plight of poor people unable to obtain their daily bread, haughtily dismissed them by suggesting “let them eat cake”...
3. Emperor Nero who, according to legend, played golf.....errr, played the lyre...while Rome burned.

It’s a tough one...

In a possible slight defense of Marie Antoinette, there are theories that she wasn’t being haughty as much as just completely naive and disconnected from what real life was actually like for the peasants.

Guess that's why Trump's approval rating is so high.

Many are no longer fooled.

It is a rallying around the flag effect. And it is not as high as other Presidents have gotten.

We've reached the point where the attacks against the President and the voters have become totally removed from the real world.

Every gimmick and trap that was believed to be "the one" that would get him overthrown has fallen on its face, so this is all that's left.

they haven't fall flat on their face, they have fallen on deaf ears with people's heads buried in the sand.

The president literally called this virus a hoax, and now it has killed over 2,000 americans. How long will it take for people to see the truth about what a horrible person he is? He's been awful and in the public eye for over 30 years. He's the basis for a an actual movie villain from 1989.

I had a rich person eat at my house once, he honestly thought that there was more to supper than Hotdogs and Macaroni and Cheese.

Rich people have much better things to eat.
Actually, poor people too.
Where do they come up with these things?
= yet more votes for Trump.

Sounds like a bad movie.
Also the Bible is against that.

There’s another contender...

Most wouldn’t remember Trump’s speech from 1941....

“Yesterday, December 7th, a date that I was supposed to be playing golf, was marked by a minor fracas in Hawaii. A few US Navy vessels received minor damage as a result of some actions by Japanese fishing boats.....yes, that’s it, Japanese fishing boats....could’ve been Chinese, a lot of people are saying they were Chinese...

Anyway...we have everything under control and the minor repairs needed will all be down to zero by Christmas, thanks to the speedy response of the government.....well, me really...”
