They are consistent in their incompetence.

Did Donald Trump quote a Nigerian poet, thinking he was reciting an Irish proverb? Sorry to disappoint – but probably not.

Appearing with Irish prime minister Enda Kenny on Thursday, Trump said: “As we stand together with our Irish friends, I’m reminded of that proverb – and this is a good one, this is one I like. I’ve heard it for many many years and I love it.

“Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue, but never forget to remember those that have stuck by you.”

He added: “A lot of us know that, we know it well. It’s a great phrase.”

Speaking the day before St Patrick’s Day, it’s no wonder Trump decided to pay tribute to Ireland. But this wasn’t a “proverb” anyone from the nation recognised.

Irish tweeters were quick to point out they’d never heard this supposedly famous proverb.

Okay, I expect the president to be busy dealing with important things. The question is why can't he hire people who are careful and competent and who care about turning in things like "an Irish proverb" that really is one?Why can't he find good people?

Do you know any "good people" who'd want to work for this complete dolt?

The poor man has got one of the worst jobs in the country. Every time he comes on I see the woman from SNL flash before my eyes!

The last 4 host of this season will be 1. Jimmy Fallon who is trying to be more political since Colbert regularly kicks his ass in the ratings. 2. Melissa McCarthy 3. Chris Pine 4. Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson will host the last regular show of the season. Johnson was dubbed last years sexiest man alive and was a WWE pro wrestler. Linda McMahon is the CEO of the WWE and is now the small business czar appointed by false flag #45 after donating $5 million dollars to his campaign. Laughing

So, do you suppose as a former WWE guy Johnson will say what he truly thinks about McMahon and her $5 million?

Doubtful. He has stated that he thought about a White House run in 2020.

WWE wrestler John Cena hosted SNL in December but that was before McMahon was appointed by false flag #45.

It's a shame McCarthy isn't hosting this week. Spicer looked like he was going to ram Acosta with the podium on Thursday.
