7. isn't it odd how he thinks of his job duties?

He thinks they are:

--he calls it public speaking, but it's always public disparagement of some person or idea

--signing executive orders that someone else writes up and he poses signing with his MagicMarker. His executive orders are just invitations to a lawsuit. Today I listened to Dahlia Lithwick and Preet Bahara on Preet's podcast. Dahlia remarked on how bad a job the press has done by covering his executive orders as declarations of law. She said they would more accurately be referred to as his "wish list."

--posing for pictures with world figures like Mark Rutte.

--coming up with scams like his cryptocurrency thing he's got going. People are essentially paying to talk to him. How stupid. As if he has any influence at all at this point, having shown his spectacular failure/backfire with China, who has him by his mushroom.

--tweeting, all day and all night. Sometimes people count his tweets and they are numbers like 468 in a week. One hour he did 79 tweets.

In the farthest stretches of my imagination, I could never think doing this was my job.

--attending rallies to boost his fragile ego.

That's it: those are the actual actions he takes and he calls it doing his job.
