Weak Thirteen of the Trumpanzy

Trump gets tough on North Korea, but errors upset South

The U.S. has long backed Seoul and provided significant military support, but has largely resorted to diplomacy and economic sanctions in handling frequent threats from Pyongyang. The relatively new White House has vowed to take a more aggressive stance and, when North Korea suggested last week it was gearing up for a sixth nuclear test, Trump said a U.S. naval strike group would head to the region. A number of South Koreans welcomed this move. The only problem is...Trump's "armada" never showed up.


Instead, the naval strike group, which included the USS Carl Vinson, was thousands of miles away near Australia. The group's location contradicted the words of Trump and even Defense Secretary James Mattis, who told reporters that the U.S. Navy had canceled scheduled drills involving the vessels in Australia, Reuters reported. It had not. As of Tuesday, the ship was still reported by the Navy as being in the Indian Ocean and, as elections approach in South Korea, many have expressed their frustration.

"What Trump said was very important for the national security of South Korea," South Korean presidential candidate Hong Joon-pyo of jailed leader Park Geun-hye’s ruling Liberty Korea Party told The Wall Street Journal in an interview published Wednesday. "If that was a lie, then during Trump’s term, South Korea will not trust whatever Trump says."

Proof Trump doesn't know History or Geography.

As weak `13 ends what's Trumps record?

Trump’s first 100 days scorecard: How does he compare to other presidents? Not great.

President Donald Trump doesn't want to be judged under the same standards applied to all other modern presidents: With his administration marking its 100th day on April 29, Trump posted a message on Twitter Friday lamenting how unfair it is to grade his accomplishments in such a short timeframe.

The 100-day marker has been used by the public for decades to assess what a new White House administration was able to accomplish in its first months. President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the artificial milestone in 1933 after passing a flurry of laws during the early days of his administration aimed at ending the Great Depression.

Trump himself vowed on the campaign trail to complete at least 60 of his policy plans during his first 100 days in office, but now insists it's unfair to compare him to other presidents. “No matter how much I accomplish during the ridiculous standard of the first 100 days, & it has been a lot (including S.C.), media will kill,” he said on Twitter.

His change of opinion might stem from the underwhelming number of accomplishments his administration can point to so far. Trump hasn't started working on keeping the majority of his campaign promises, according to an analysis from The Washington Post published Thursday. He even broke a few of them, including a repeated vow to call out China for being a so-called currency manipulator.

Weak, Sad, Unconstitutional, or just plain stupid?

It’s official: Top psychiatrists at Yale conference warn that Trump has a ‘dangerous mental illness’

35 psychiatrists this week gathered at a conference at Yale to sound the alarm on what they believe is President Donald Trump’s “dangerous mental illness.”

Per The Independent, the psychiatrists met at Yale’s School of Medicine on Thursday to talk about Donald Trump’s mental health, which they warned was frighteningly unstable.

“We have an ethical responsibility to warn the public about Donald Trump’s dangerous mental illness,” said Dr. John Gartner, a practicing psychotherapist who advised psychiatric residents at Johns Hopkins University Medical School and who has in the past warned Trump is a “psychiatric Frankenstein monster.”
