Donald Trump thanked members of military stationed abroad in Afghanistan and elsewhere for their service during the Thanksgiving holiday and said he observes their courage on the evening “news.”
“You are doing an incredible job,” Trump said in a teleconference from his sunny Mar-a-Lago estate.
”A lot of progress has been made and your courage truly inspires us all. We know what you are doing. We watch it. Oftentimes we are watching it every night during the news, and we know it is dangerous, and we also know that you have an unbelievable impact.”
Following the call Trump took questions from pool reporters, and the questions ranged from his despicable pardoning of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to what he is thankful for this Thanksgiving.
And to the surprise of no one, Trump said he is thankful for the “tremendous” job he is doing as president.
Trump said, “I’m grateful for having a great family, and for having made a tremendous difference in this country. This country is so much strong than when I took office that you wouldn’t believe it. And I mean you see it, but it’s much strong that people can’t even believe it.”
Twitter reacted as expected:
“Mr. President, what are you most thankful for this Thanksgiving?”
“Me. Me me me. Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me”

Grandiosity, the hallmark definition of narcissistic personality disorder, the exaggerated sense of self-importance, self-promotion and the expectation of being realized as superior.

Sure, if by "so much stronger," he means "divided, racist, morally bankrupt, and with a budget deficit approaching $1 trillion, because tax cuts for the rich still don't pay for themselves."
Let's see him name one foreign leader who said what he claimed. ????
