Congratulations America- You Elected an Idiot Man-Child

Seriously, can we have a chat for a second. This is the status of the next President of the United States:

Last week, the Washington Post reported that President-elect Donald Trump had only received two classified intelligence briefings since election day — a number they said was “notably lower” than the amount received by his predecessors at this point in the transition period.

In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, host Dana Bash asked Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway about the allegation.

Conway did not deny the Post’s report, but instead stressed that in addition to the (limited) intelligence briefings he has received, the President-elect is “receiving information through his personal and on-the-phone meetings with over what’s now 41 world leaders.”

Ok, so the President-elect of the United States isn't taking his intelligence briefings from our national security experts, he's "receiving information" from foreign leaders, some of which I presume are business leaders, and not heads of state. Great, wonderful, outstanding! Never mind that we have a massive, expensive, and actually fairly good national security community in the United States, let's just work off of whatever Vladimir Putin says.

Then, of course, there's this madness...

In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally

Serious voter fraud in Virginia, New Hampshire and California - so why isn't the media reporting on this? Serious bias - big problem!

So now, the President-elect of the United States is baselessly asserting that the election he won had massive fraud, in his efforts to discredit a recount of his victories in three specific states, and calls to audit the vote. First off, logically his argument is one you'd make if you were calling for a national recount and audit of the vote. Second off, no one associated with the Clinton campaign is out there saying the results have any chance of being overturned. Third- this is the President-elect of the United States, throwing a temper-tantrum on Twitter because people are hurting his feelings. Seriously. He has absolutely no evidence of millions of voters voting illegally, he has no evidence that those states cheated, and he has no real reason to be throwing around crazy accusations like this- he's going to be sworn into office on January 20th. For him to throw dirt on our electoral system is idiotic, and frankly makes no sense to a normal President-elect who just won under this system. But, this is not normal times, and the Lord only knows what this man is thinking.

Then.... there's this:

Receiving deluge of social media & private comms re: Romney Some Trump loyalists warn against Romney as sec of state https://t.co/HDtpjeJTc3

I did tell him privately. And I'll respect his decision. Point is the volume & intensity of grassroots resistance to Romney is breathtaking https://t.co/bknmfGZ13a

Can we start with the obvious here- she's not just talking out her rear here. Kellyanne Conway is either speaking under instructions, or she is the most rogue actor we've all ever seen in politics. So, let's be honest, she's speaking under instruction. This appears to be an open effort to have suckered Romney into the mistake of visiting Trump during the transition, acting like he was in play for Secretary of State, and now setting him up for complete and total public humiliation, which is the M.O. of this crew so far. All the talk about how Trump "won't prosecute" Hillary Clinton for crimes she's already cleared of is semi-ridiculous, given that Presidents don't prosecute people, but it succeeds in making her look guilty, and making Trump look like a man of clemency. Same here, where Trump gets to invite Romney to see him, act like he's really considering him, and then they put him through the public humiliation of either apologizing in public, being "shot down" by Trump's base, or worse yet, both. They will systemically make Trump appear to be showing mercy to his fierce rivals from 2016, while also making them look weak, corrupt, criminal, or just like losers in general. This is also not normal at all. George W. Bush didn't even do this to Al Gore or John Kerry, for what that's worth.

We are about to enter into the governance of an ignorant man-child, born with a silver-spoon in his mouth, who ran and won on the "uneducated" white voter, and now is going to subject us to his ego. He attacks comedians for making fun of him, news stations for showing unflattering pictures of him, and reporters who publish critical stories about him. He is deeply bothered by questions of his legitimacy over the popular vote, despite having questioned the citizenship of his predecessor. He's an egomaniac, and he can't control himself on Twitter. Of course though, he will be the Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military. You should have known that though, when you elected a man who has made his money by putting his name on things.

Congratulations America- you elected the junior high bully as your new President.
