There are grade-schoolers who do consistently superior work.

Trump’s work is the basis for comparison. I had a sixth grade teacher who would have read Trump’s statements and reassignment the homework.

It’s astounding that those are the statements of a sitting President.

Your work is outstanding.

If YOU run, you’ve got my vote.

Brie for President!

Trump’s EO on the English proficiency requirement for commercial driver’s license holders simply reinforces existing DOT regulations. Truck drivers need to be able to read road signs and communicate with traffic law enforcement personnel.

I guess it’s good to see you widening your comparisons of Trump from Hitler to Stalin. At least it illustrates that dictators operate similarly on the left and right.

As I said in the piece, pick the dictator you want. The similarities are there, and dictators are fundamentally anti-American.

I don't buy the Trump as dictator argument if for no other reason than our system makes it almost impossible for the “man on horseback” to succeed, but at least you can see that both sides of the political horseshoe are capable of authoritarianism.

Ahh, so it's another pointless EO. Got it.

No, not pointless, because Biden rolled back the requirement. My point is it’s nothing new, and shouldn't be particularly controversial.
