Unpresidented

Let's see.  How many Extinction Level Scandals is Trump involved in?

- Bragging about sexual assault on video.
- Campaign finance violations surrounding hush payments to a porn star.
- Violations of every known norm surrounding the Justice Department, including firing James Comey.
- Sucking up to Kim Jong Un and Vladimir Putin.
- Pretty much whatever he tweets.
- Engaging in barbarous treatment of migrant children on the border.
- Completely screwing up the Puerto Rico recovery.
- Whatever the hell else Michael Cohen was up to.
- Scott Pruit.
-Violations of the Emoluments Clause.
- Helping a Chinese company, ZTE, and then getting a massive loan from China for his business venture in Indonesia.

And of course...

- Working with Russia to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign.
