Three Things Trump Has Never Understood About Being President

* He works for US and we don't work for HIM or owe HIM a God Damn thing!

* The US Treaury is NOT his personal money to use in ways that only benefit him politically and financially. His deciding not to allocate money approved by Congress is just like his cheating relatives out of their inheritance!

* He has successfully bullied people in his business dealings, the Republican Party, the corporate media, and to some extent the American public, but it DOESN’T WORK on foreign countries!

He’s rationalized all of it as “simply doing business” and gaining leverage for any situation.

God, his parents really did a number on this one.
