There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

    But he even half-assed that. He stopped the production of new pennies but they’re still in use and not being destroyed. In Canada, we made a law that, starting on a certain date, prices were rounded to the nearest five for cash transactions. Pennies were still accepted currency but gradually sent back to the mint to be destroyed and, after a while, they stopped being used at all.

      Yep, even the most basic of things that should be a slam dunk are things he completely bungles.

      He should have easily been able to unify the nation in dealing with a pandemic. But, nope. He so totally fucked that up. And same with the penny thing - we have plenty of examples, like Canada, where we could have learned about the rollout.

      Instead, it’s announced via his LieSocial site or whatever the fuck. With no phase out and no plan and no direction given.

      He’s just a complete asshole and has no idea what he is doing. He just wants his name and his dumb mug on things and that’s about it. Oh and shiny medals being given to him.

          He really is quite stupid. Watching him first steer into the “but muh economy!” thing nearly at the outset, to initially being hopeful it was going to kill off more black people than white people, to having Jared withhold life-saving supplies and equipment from entire states not deemed loyal enough to Donvict, to stoking stupid conspiracy theories and nostrums like horse dewormer, while also wanting all the credit for the vaccine (which we really had Obama to thank), and so on…

          Again, almost any normal human being without a broken brain and who had the barest modicum of empathy, or the ability to at least fake that empathy, could have done better at it.
