 I suppose at this point the question remains: How far wrong can a guy who claims to be far right be?

A man who claims to be "a very stable genius" confuses Harvard with Harlem

A guy who openly admits mistakes were made in his mass deportation scheme, only to double back by holding up someone's beginner Photoshop project as evidence for why he was right all along. 

A convicted felon who has been sued for defamation to the tune of eighty-eight million dollars is now going after news organizations and suing them for doing their jobs: reporting the news. 

A group of big-name retailers including Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot and Lowe's met with the former game show host to express their concerns that the Trade War set off by the "author" of The Art of the Deal is going to result in empty shelves at their stores as soon as this summer. To this His Big Orange Highness replied, “You know, somebody said, ‘Oh, the shelves are going to be open. Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of thirty dolls. So maybe the two dolls will cost a couple bucks more than they would normally.”

Normally. Is it normal to charge four hundred dollars for cheaply made gold sneakers? The answer from those who bought them? Who cares? Is it normal for a US President to redecorate the Oval Office after they are elected? Sure, but does the People's House really need to look like the lobby of one of his bankrupt casinos? 

Which brings me to this point: Should we leave a man who has spent his life burning through more money than he has made in his entire life in charge of our economy? 

I'll bet you the price of one of those keen red baseball caps that are made in China that you know my answer.

The image of a Walmart toy aisle with only two dolls on the shelves is rather chilling.
