10/21/17: President Me-Myself-and-I announces the defeat of ISIS in Raqqa, calling it a “critical breakthrough.” This means he’s the best president ever. “We have made, alongside our coalition partners, more progress against these evil terrorists in the past several months than in the past several years,” Trump asserts.
As usual, Trump supporters are too lazy to think for themselves. They won’t realize the coalition that defeated ISIS was put together long before Trump took office. All he had to do was not mess it up. (See: 9/15/17.)
According to Pentagon estimates 60,000 ISIS fighters had already been wiped off the map by February 15, 2017.
(Two years later, Trump will desert the Kurds, who did
almost all of the hardest fighting against ISIS; and he won’t blink once. See:
1/14/19.)

10/22/17: President Trump is up and at ‘em early, on a fine fall day. What to do first? Study up on what happened to our soldiers in Niger? Guess again. Check in on recovery efforts in Puerto Rico? Those people are “ingrates.” What matters most to the man in the White House?
Tweets.
Trump does something Obama never could do.
Trump has to tell the world at 7:08 a.m. that the American people are coming around. “It is finally sinking through,” he taps, mostly in caps, “46% OF PEOPLE BELIEVE MAJOR NATIONAL NEWS ORGS FABRICATE STORIES ABOUT ME. FAKE NEWS, even worse! Lost cred.”
If you like polls, Mr. President, how about this: 56% of American voters think you’re not fit to serve as president. By 59%-37% the people think you’re not honest. By a 60%-38% margin they believe you lack leadership skills.
Last, but amazingly, not least, Trump has done something
President Obama could never do. He has managed to make the Affordable Care Act popular. Since he took office the “favorable” numbers of the ACA have
been rising, with 49.4% of Americans now in favor of keeping the law vs. 40.4%
still dreaming of some miraculous GOP plan to “repeal and replace.”
