Well, maybe we could ask Bush to call upon all willing states to tell their national guard to take up finger painting. Or maybe Bill Clinton could ask all willing states to give trump a wedgie.

But that won’t happen, not because it’s silly, but because ex-presidents have no fucking authority to tell the states to do a damn thing.

Pathetic, to abuse national guardsmen like this. Its a big disruption to their family and their employers to send them on an idiotic,grandstanding boondoggle like this.

+1 for boondoggle

Trump just wants a distraction from the $83 million in damages announced today.
