He probably broke a few laws right there. Maybe another president would have been held accountable for faking a wewther report and causing panic, but it was just Wednesday.

Fox news lost its mind when Obama asked for Dijon mustard for his burger. For real.

I can't help but think "was this guy president of a major superpower for 4 years?!" Almost every single time I see any of his videos.

And he might become their next president... :(

This is how I've felt for every president we've had since (and including) Clinton... Which really is only because he's the first president I was old enough in which to be aware. I'm sure further back was just as bad in their own ways.

Things off the top of my head:

Clinton - sex stuff.

Bush - Oh so many things. His bumbling... His weapons of mass destruction stuff...I mean, if they are so bad, why can we have them, but they can't? I digress.

Obama - Authorizing terrorist attacks on Pakistan, also the failed health care reform.

Trump - Well... well... I honestly couldn't much pay attention to what he was on about through the non-stop assalt he had from our media (also life stuff kept me pretty distracted those four years). But he was certainly one to rock the system.

Biden - Wow. The Ukraine/Biden(and family) stuff, the China/Biden(and family) stuff all the stuff happening while he was a VP... His bumbling is even worse than Bush's was.

Yea, we've had a pretty embarrasing run of presidents in my lifetime. I know there are a few things Trump and Obama did in which I approve... But it's few... Oh so few. The rest though... Nope.

Oh, and, I'm not so sure about Clinton's races, I was too young, but all the folks that came in second to all these presidents? Not exactly great alternatives to what we got.

EDIT: Fix Spacing.
