He took over the Kennedy Center and nominated himself. It's a disgrace.

At least it keeps him from ruining the country for one night.

He would ruin a child's birthday party. He would want all of the presents and cake.

This will just increase the prestige of the awards given previous to the Lewzer era.

He will had them out to political hacks, and undoubtedly the medal will have his face on it.

If you fail to see why THIS president is a "problem" and an embarrassment to America then there is no helping you.

Maybe check into one of them new Trumpy asylums and see if they can help you.
