Clueless

When most people hear the word "clueless" this is the first thing that pops into their minds:




Or possibly this, the TV version of the above film:




While I am well aware of those references to the work clueless, when I hear that word I think of this:




What makes him the best photo definition of this term?  Let's begin with the fact that he held a campaign rally in Florida this weekend.  He's been in office all of 29 days and he is running for reelection?  That is ridiculous.  Presidents seek reelection based on their accomplishments in office.  What has 45 accomplished in those 29 days?  Let's review.

Established a record for having the National Security Advisor with the shortest ever tenure in the job.  Michael Flynn left that post after only 24 days.  The previous record holder for shortest tenure in the job was William H. Jackson at 129 days.  That was in late 1956/early 1957 when the position of National Security Advisor was still relatively new.  It had been created in March of 1953.

Then there is the fact that back in 2015 45 said "I would rarely leave the White House because there's so much work to be done.  I would not be a president who takes vacations.  I would not be a president who takes time off...you don't have time to take time off."  Consider that statement in light of the fact that this is the third straight weekend 45 is spending at his Mar-a-Lago club.  Shouldn't he be in the Oval Office getting things done rather than glad-handing people who pay big bucks to get close to the president?

Did we not hear 45 talk over and over about how he is going to bring jobs back to the U.S. and fill them with U.S. workers?  So why is Trump Winery (owned by his son Eric) asking for visas to bring in foreign workers?  According to the International Business Times, Trump-related companies have brought 286 foreign workers into the U.S. and employed them since he announced his candidacy in 2015.  Some of them work at Mar-a-Lago. Care to speculate on how many weekends he will wind up spending there this year, possibly served by those foreign workers?

His definition of "fake news" is any news that doesn't jibe with her twisted perception of reality.  He uses that label to try and discredit any news story that paints him or his administration in any unfavorable way.

He is truly clueless.  Congrats.
