Doesn't Work

There are at least two meanings, both equally true, of the sentence "Donald Trump doesn't work". For one thing, he is indisputably the laziest president ever, spending most of his days in "executive time", which is a euphemism for "watching TV, yelling at said TV, gossiping with friends on the phone and tweeting". Second, Donald Trump doesn't work in the sense that he is not functioning. He is broken beyond repair. How long does it have to take to oust him?

Your Lying Eyes

Yesterday, Trump's descent into his own private version of reality took a big step downward when he said that the intelligence community leaders had been "misquoted" by the "fake news" when they were reported to take him to school over his delusions on, well, most of the current state of the world. The problem is that their statements were public and televised in their entirety, which really makes it impossible for any "misquotes" to happen.

Basically, we are asked the question: who do we believe, Donald Trump or our own eyes? The answer to that should be pretty obvious.
