Here’s Donald Trump posing with folders he pretended outlined his plan to hand his business interests over to his sons
Here’s Donald Trump waving around a fake “Secret Deal with Mexico”
Here’s Donald Trump pretending to have printed out “federal regulations” for an eye opening comparison
Here’s Donald Trump pretending to work in the hospital
Here’s a big pile of supposed Donald Trump-branded products. The steaks still had the wrappers from the supermarket on them. His team was literally too lazy to take them off
There are plenty of other examples, too, but you get the picture. The dude is a hilariously transparent fraud and con, and anyone who considers him a “master” of this shit is an imbecile and easy mark

I want to put some positive into the universe, so here goes:
1. He will lose on election night. It'll be a called election. No doomsday scenarios
2. The Dems take the Senate. Graham and Collins go down to defeat. McConnell survives to see himself become irrelevant
1/
3. Trump complains a couple of days ON TWITTER [tons of all-caps tweets], but then basically gets bored and pisses off to wherever, leaving Pence to deal with the transition
4. He spends the rest of his miserable shit life screaming about how he got screwed at the polls
2/
5. Lots of dumb books get published. No one will give a good goddamn
6. Six seconds after the inauguration [Trump will not attend], Melania files divorce papers
7. Trump dies on a toilet in some godforsaken small town in Russia. The only mourners are paid mourners

Our clever scheme to be ruled by a rabid minoritarian faction that gets its marching orders from a handful of deranged rightwing media personalities has--against all odds--somehow gone wrong
Honestly, I'm as surprised as anybody
If a global superpower of 330 million citizens can't be governed rationally by "Shit Sean Hannity Says" and "Laura Ingraham Did Another Nazism" then what hope is there for anything?
I think I understand why--we have an innate need to believe in at least some kind of order and purpose--but an alarming number of people still talk about Trump as some kind of master strategist, constantly distracting, diverting, dropping smoke bombs 1/
He's not. Trump is not capable of that kind of thinking. He does not connect moments to other moments the way you and I do. He does not draw a simple line between action and consequence. There is no purpose there, at least how we think of purpose 2/
What is there is infinitely more terrifying. Feral need and anger driven by a self-loathing that must make every moment of his existence wretched beyond imagining. He hates us and the rest of the world, but no one hates Donald Trump more than Donald Trump hates Donald Trump 3/
