As a great American humorist said, “All I know is what I read in the papers.”

Today, all I know is that the newspapers and the TV news must be mistaken.

Our president shows us the right way to perceive our condition in the world today. “Alternative facts” are the only way to the truth.

President Obama would hardly have to wiretap Trump to find out what Trump really thinks he knows. All he has to do is read Trump’s Twitter.

The definition of twitter: to talk in an idle or trivial way.

Remember when Bambi was “twitterpated?” He was in love.

Trump has the same condition, only he is in love with himself.

Looking at all the claims Trump has promised, he has only done well only once. He promised to “drain the swamp.” Trump has changed his Cabinet and advisors into “Trump’s Dump.”

There are more promises: lower taxes, cheaper health care, more and better jobs, higher wages, and replacing old roads and bridges.

Where is all the money coming from?

We should all be very afraid that to fill our stomachs with his promises, Trump will have us eat our hearts.
