If he wished to upstage HW by also passing of natural causes soon we would pay appropriate attention to him.

Don't worry guys. Such individuals whom are self absorbed, self-proclaimed great, and totally lacking in empathy towards anyone else could never do anything to worry about.....

"A funeral train is nice, but I'm gonna have a funeral train AND a funeral plane! Junior, make sure one of our Trump Jets is repainted black for the occasion. We'll make stops at every single one of my rally sites! Oh, and make sure our train runs on COAL, not diesel!"

Apparently one of the things keeping him there is that Trump, literally, couldn't puzzle out how to fire him. Kelly has been the axe man for others but Trump couldn't manage the gumption to can Kelly personally.

Kelly would be intimidating for a puss like Trump who can't engage anyone. Maybe Kelly was waiting for Trump to buy a man card but figured that wasn't happening.

Easy he’d just do it by twitter.

I will say as a former manager, Trump fires people like it’s his first year in management. He is a complete amateur at it. Weird how so much of his success is built upon “You’re Fired!”

Twitter doesn't fire people, that would be an announcement. Someone would physically have to hand Kelly his walking papers, do an exit interview etc, and Trump would hide while that was going on and whisper "is he gone yet" to some lackey.

I can see him being annoyed that he has to do so many events that aren't about him but I think the way this is worded is a little over the top.

One of the comments to the article linked in the OP hit my thoughts right on the head:

"Trump did better than I thought he would. He didn't recite the apostles creed or sing any Hymns. But Trump being quiet is very good for him. "

That's like patting a 5 year old on the head because he didn't make poopy in his pants.

Trump was actually proud of himself that he didn't do anything stupid, according to sources.

I remember being a kid, maybe 5, having to sit through a wedding. I don't remember whose wedding it was, but I distinctly remember that it had nothing to do with me. Who says Trump isn't relatable?

Probably the subject of military parade may return.

Yup, dump his rotting carcass in the WH dumpster and move on with our lives. Maybe display the dumpster in a prominent place for a few days so people have a chance to spit in there.

Hey.... It's Christmas time so a little Ebenezer Scrooge is appropriate.
Donald Trump was heard saying:
"I don't mind going if a lunch is provided. But I must be fed, or else I stay at home.
(Burp, fart)"

I can't. I can't do another one of these.

It's fine. I'll take him just shutting the F up for an afternoon.

Wish it were the rest of his term... But not going to happen... So at least we got one day of peace

You really think Trump is above telling his aids that in private? Then you're probably also skeptical of him saying he doesn't care about the national debt because he won't be around when it becomes a crisis.

dafuq is the deal with the video showing the article text over pictures?? Do they think we can't read if it's not on a video? Shitties news format ever, the least efficient way to read anything! These were infesting facebook, telling a 20 sec "story" with a 2 min video, until I manged to block them.
