Trump: "I think we’ve had one of the most successful 13 weeks in the history of the presidency."

Uh, actually, it's 11 weeks, Don. Hard to count on those tiny paws?.

ELEVEN weeks

"I think we’ve had one of the most successful 13 weeks in the history of the presidency," [Trump] told reporters aboard Air Force One Thursday, as he was en route to a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.

Trump, who's been in office for just short of 11 weeks, has faced a number of challenges and setbacks in his early weeks in office. The Russia-related cloud of controversy hanging over his administration led to the ouster of national security adviser Michael Flynn in February, after Flynn had misled Vice President Mike Pence about the nature of his conversations with the Russian ambassador.

The cloud is showing no signs of dissipating, as FBI Director James Comey announced earlier this month that his agency was looking into potential collusion between Trump associates and Russian government officials to interfere in last year's presidential election.

The president is also nearly assured of having no signature legislative achievement to tout over his first 100 days, after the American Health Care Act was pulled from the House floor earlier this month. His highly controversial travel ban looks to be tied up in the court system and for the indefinite future.

Rampant infighting among diverging factions of his administration has added to the perception that Trump has struggled to gain traction in the first weeks of his presidency.

I really thought his statement was funny. I was glad to see/hear he hasn't gotten any smarter. Still the same dummy Trump. Can't even count!

Ombligo, we have too many weeks to go. Yes, it seems like eternity so far. Not much to look forward to.

We all know what comes next... ENDLESS accounts on how it's actually been 13 weeks since Jan 20.

Yet, he remains President regardless of how stupid he is. There is no relief or mitigation. Just resistin'.

One day soon we're going to wake up to something we won't be able to undo because of him.

The thing is, correct count or not, what compels someone to even make a statement like that? Why does he have this need to declare things as the most this and the biggest that and the greatest whatever? He's one bizarre human being.

"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings."

Signs and symptoms
People with narcissistic personality disorder are characterized by their persistent grandiosity, excessive need for admiration, and a disdain and lack of empathy for others. These individuals often display arrogance, a sense of superiority, and power-seeking behaviors. Narcissistic personality disorder is different from having a strong sense of self-confidence. This is because people with NPD typically value themselves over others to the extent that they disregard the feelings and wishes of others and expect to be treated as superior regardless of their actual status or achievements. In addition, people with NPD may exhibit fragile egos, an inability to tolerate criticism, and a tendency to belittle others in an attempt to validate their own superiority."

"Therapy is often difficult as people frequently do not consider themselves to have a problem."

I AM getting a LOT of use out of this.

It actually is Obama's fault. His blackness brought them all together with a singular focus.
