Photos make me sad

Don't forget testicular fortitude. We all know prezzie needle dick has none of that either. And clearly REAL presidential people do. (Or ovarian fortitude, you all know who I mean . . .)

No, Bernie would not have survived a real campaign with his past even if only the Republicans by themselves opposed him.

there isn't much that is straight with this guy ....he doesn't understand . public office means public - you have to be seen to be clean...

there's a whole bunch of smoke here, and the Trump campaign and the White House haven't done much to fan it away. Given what just happened with Melania Trump's parents, it might be good to clear some things up.......

1. President Trump promised in August 2016 that Melania Trump would hold a news conference to explain her immigration status. It never happened.“Let me tell you one thing,” President Trump said. “She has got it so documented, so she's going to have a little news conference over the next couple of weeks.”

That was August 2016, when questions about Melania Trump's immigration history first cropped up. It has now been 18 months, and that news conference has not happened. Instead, Melania Trump tweeted a letter from her immigration attorney in September 2016.At the time, it had been reported that Melania Trump had participated in a photo shoot in New York in 1995, despite having allegedly immigrated in 1996. But the photographer later told The Post's Philip Bump that the photo shoot did, in fact, happen in 1996.Ever since then, the Trumps have declined promised answers to reporters' questions.

2. Conflicting statementsThe same immigration attorney, Michael J. Wildes, explained in the letter that Melania Trump self-sponsored herself for a green card in 2000 “as a model of extraordinary ability” and obtained the green card in 2001.

But that was different from what he reportedly told Univision just a month before, when he said she had earned her green card in 2001 “based on marriage.” The problem was that Melania Trump appears to never have been married before marrying Trump in 2005.When Univision pointed this out, Wildes clammed up and said, “There are certain parts of the process that remain private. The immigration authorities don’t discuss this, nor should we.”

3. 'Extraordinary ability'The claim to “extraordinary ability” itself, though, has raised questions. Melania Trump generally did advertisements and catalogues — not exactly the stuff of internationally renowned supermodels.Immigration attorneys have repeatedly suggested to The Post and other publications that it seems unlikely she would have qualified for such a rare visa.

4. Working before she was authorized to workThe Associated Press reported just days before the 2016 election that Melania Trump had been paid more than $20,000 for 10 modeling jobs in 1996 before obtaining legal permission to work in the United States. The work came in the brief period she was on a visitor visa but before she obtained a work visa on Oct. 18, 1996.As The Post reported at the time, it is considered fraud to say you intend only to visit the United States but instead intend to work, and this can retroactively harm your immigration status.

5. Her website falsely claimed a degree Speaking of things that could imperil one's immigration status, Melania Trump's Republican National Convention bio and a bio on her modeling website claimed she had “a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia.”

But as The Post's Fact-checker noted back in 2016, journalists who have written about her life have determined she dropped out after her first year to pursue modeling. If she claimed that degree while applying to immigrate — which, again, we don't know, because these questions haven't been answered — that would be problematic.

In sum, there's a whole bunch of smoke here, and the Trump campaign and the White House haven't done much to fan it away. Given what just happened with Melania Trump's parents, it might be good to clear some things up.

I'm invoking the 44th amendment, which clearly states and is totally unambiguous, that in the case of mega dickidness by faux posing pretender 45th squatting occupier, aforementioned and worthy with spare worthiness 44th President shall resume and retake the Office with extreme malice and intestinal fortitude until such day and appropriate time that any fool that has anywhere near all the right stuff to follow in the shadow of the GOAT.
