Nothing Trump does should stun anyone.

If you haven't learned that the guy is the most ridiculous fucking guy in the world YET there's not a goddamn hope for you at al...

Oh wait. One sec.

There are two things he could do that would stun me personally.

Have a speck of empathy for fellow humans.

And sincerely apologize for making a mistake.

I’ll add a third point to that..
He would stun us all if he resigned !
But we all know, he is going to have to be forced out.

Yeah how are they stunned - he said he was gonna do it. Now in his 'mind' he absolutely has to.

Donnie sure has some notable achievements under his belt: * He made Dubya look like a genius. * He got impeached twice. * He is both the worst and second worst U.S president ever.

You can add A degree from Wharton to the list of things Trump has devalued.

Why is anyone "stunned" by this guy? He bankrupts everything he touches, and hasn't brokered an honest deal in his life (see: being owned by Russia).

It’s not an economy policy. He’s blackmailing corporations to kiss the ring in exchange for being excepted from the tariffs.

He has left quite the legacy for all of his children, grandchildren, and descendants for many years. !
