For many Americans, January 20th, 2017 was seen as the day the funeral for their beloved country. The atmosphere in Washington D.C. was certainly reflective of that. The million in attendance and watching on TV noticed the Old Testament scene; the dark, grey clouds and a misty rain were a symbol that this nation would be saying goodbye to a charismatic leader in Barack Obama to an erratic leader in Donald J. Trump. Our current leader didn't start the day well—harbinger of things to come—he leaves Melania, his wife, standing at the car while he headed into the White House, first.

At Noon, we knew the fate of this nation was sealed. Since his swearing in, the executive chamber has never experienced this much mess and turmoil. Recently, his National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned over his associations with Russia during his time as a private citizen, a federal law violation. His counselor, Kellyanne Conway, made the gaffe of making up the Bowling Green Massacre that did not exist. Betsy DeVos, Secretary of Education, thinks guns should be in school for the purpose of defense against grizzly bears. His Muslim Ban was overturned by THREE federal judges. Of course, this was not handled well by Trump…

I could go on about more ways Trump’s first month as POTUS has been ‘a total disaster’ (Donald Trump©), but I will limit it to just some key incompetence this administration has shown.

It has been a month today since Trump was sworn in, and he gave his first LIVE press conference, and here is the fact-checking portion of it.

"It was the biggest electoral win since Ronald Reagan."

“A new Rasmussen Poll has come out, and our approval rating is 55 percent and rising.”

Survey Says: Partially True. It’s at 53 percent, but is rising.

“Plants and Factories are staring to move back into the United States.”

Well, he isn’t lying here. Per Fox Business, GM is moving its axle production from Mexico to Michigan as Trump turns up the heat on Automakers.

“Our Administration inherited many problems across government, and across the economy.”

Sure, Trump. That’s sort of what happens in a time where the GOP held BOTH houses in Congress UNDER a Democratic President, the same GOP who threw a temper tantrum by NOT CONFIRMING ANY OF OBAMA’S NOMINEES! It’s called gridlock. You won’t have that problem; your party has both houses AND the executive branch!

“To be honest, I inherited a mess.”

No. Obama inherited the mess called the Late-2000’s recession. You inherited an economy prefab with the Dow at its then record peak, and an unemployment rate at 4.7% and FORECASTED to rise STEADILY to 6% by the time your regime of terror is over*!

“Only thing Democrats know how to do is delay.”

Those who live in glass houses…

”Court System has not made it easy for us.”

That’s called checks and balances, Donald.

Then, we see him bobbing and weaving amongst the questions about the leaks. Any lie detector could sense more deception than a typical lie-detector test on The Maury Show.

Blah, blah, blah, more about fake news…

“No, I didn't direct Mike Flynn to discuss sanctions with the Russian Ambassador.”

Then, why did he resign? Why all the sidestepping?

If you did direct Flynn to discuss sanctions PRIOR to your inauguration, that’s a CLEAR and DIRECT violation of the Logan Act! You ADMITTED to conspiracy to breaking the law! That’s at least GROUNDS for impeachment hearings!

“You know what I gave to Russia? You know what I gave? Nothing.”

Yeah, other than secrets by proxy to Russia, and the other thing that got hits on Backpage, of course you didn’t.

“We had a very smooth roll out of the travel ban…”

Tell that to the numerous airports across the world and to customs and border patrol agents.

“I want a friendly reporter.”

This is a slippery slope towards a dictatorship; controlling the media to a point where you only want questions you want to hear.

“We’re going to deal with DACA with heart.”

Rather than with sound logic, and, I don’t know, a LEGITIMATE PLAN, just your heart. A lesson I learned in my lifetime: Never let emotions get into the way of your logical plans.

And, the best cutscene was when a reporter asked him about the inclusion of the Congressional Black Caucus in his plans to fix inner-cities, the imbecile had the chutzpah to ask said reporter if they were friends of said reporter, and to set up the meeting.

Guess the race/ethnicity of said reporter?

Yep, you guessed it.

AFRICAN-AMERICAN!

Oh, good mother of mercy. Saturday Night Live had NO PROBLEM getting good material from this projected train-wreck of a presser.

Congrats, Donald. You just made your own Coors-Light press conference commercial.
