Trick or treat?

That’s actually mildly funny. I mean, in a stupid, selfish, wannabe dictator way, but it’s like maybe he possesses a microscopic, vestigial sense of humor? Color me gobsmacked.

Problem was, they aren’t made in his gigantic size.

Over/under on what time today Kayliar announces that “he was just joking”? I’m gonna say noon.

Yes, but it’s sometimes difficult to tell his (rare) attempts at self-deprecating humor from the (frequent) statements he makes about himself that we are supposed to take literally.

Now that would be a first in Superman stunts. An obese orange wiged idiot ripping his shirt off in front of the whole world. Too bad he chickened out.

He is absolutely nuts right now. Whatever loose attachment he ever had to reality is completely gone. He’s free falling in the polls and that’s probably pushing him further into psychosis. It’s only going to get weirder from here, folks. I guarantee it.

The only way he could debase the Presidency more would be to film himself getting nipple rings. How I long for some decorum, competency and respect in government. Must every single goddamn norm be shattered?

Not sure it was an attempt at humor as much as his usual do- anything- for - attention schtick. Of course, he may really see himself as Superman. In that case, I hope that he will go ahead and test his ability to fly from the White House balcony.
