Heck even Scrooge McDuck would be less obnoxious. And he literally swims in his vault filled with money.

Recently on BoingBoing I learned about the bracelet scam… Remember that?
The person who made the video advised victims of this scam to simply drop the bracelet and walk away. That’s hard to do because social convention, expectations and pressure to be polite keep people engaged and passive past the point where it’s safe. I wish there were a way for the entire country to simply drop the bracelet - whatever it is, in this case, that’s functioning as ‘the bracelet’ in this particular scam - and walk away toward better pursuits.
Sorry if this idea is completely irrelevant to the topic because I haven’t read anything above yet. (For the moment I need to put that off off until later in this school day, after I’m no longer expected to be endlessly sunny, patient and positive… ) I found this headline so upsetting that I needed to get this thought off my chest right now.

Yes, but his temper. I wouldn’t want him to have access to the nukes button.

I’m also reminded of this quote from The Talented Mr. Ripley:
Well, whatever you do, however terrible, however hurtful, it all makes sense, doesn’t it? In your head. You never meet anybody that thinks they’re a bad person.

As a biologist, I have to raise an objection. Look up the Red Queen hypothesis, if you like. If he is the Red Queen, than he might actually be winning, and he would possibly be an evolutionary most well suited president.
As I said: objection!

“I’m sorry, Mister President, I didn’t quite understand that. Did you ask for the nuclear wessels or the navy football? Can you speak a bit more clearly so I can tell what you want?”

Pretty much the constant LibDem excuse for propping up austerity George and yellow-belly Dave, in the UK’s govt pre-Brexit - and look where that got us!

Not to mention that he patriotically pays his taxes, and his tax return is available for all to see.

Nonsense.
A couch, obviously.
While this is very true, some even get Hollywood movies of their own today, with Tom Cruise in the leading role.

As another biologist, I’d advise you not to confuse the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen, though they’re often confused, and some interpretations combine the two, to an extent. Red Queen was mad, by our standards, but not quite the murderous hate-filled tyrant like the Queen of Hearts. Also, the Red Queen liked exercise (running), which the bonespurred one eschews.
