Yeah, he's doing it again. The theoretical sitting president, the guy in charge of our military and our nuclear weapons, is freaking out about comedy skits on Twitter again. Donald Trump has had a difficult few months. His party was decimated in the midterm elections. His top campaign and business aides keep getting indicted for things they did during his own election.

Apparently jetting off to his own private golf course, yet again, hasn't improved Dear Leader's mood. Read more
