UnPresident-Elect Donald Trump today tweeted out his thanks to Financial Times for naming him person of the year. The article blasted him:

A bigger concern may be a lack of knowledge about the world beyond his business empire. There is always the suspicion that Mr. Trump’s opinions come from the last person he spoke to. “What Trump doesn’t know could fill an ocean — he has literally never read a book, including the U.S. Constitution,” says a longstanding associate. “What Trump does know fills up Trump Tower.”

A Vanity Fair writer blasted Trump Grill as the worst restaurant in America, detailing her horrid meal. Her opinion:

[I]t was slop: as soon as I got home, I brushed my teeth twice and curled up in bed until the nausea passed.

Trump of course blasted Vanity Fair's Graydon Carter in response and the magazine's ranking. [More...]

According to a new CBS poll cited by Salon:

According to a CBS poll released Thursday, only 34 percent of Americans think that he’ll be a good or very good president. Nearly a quarter — 23 percent — think that he’ll be average. More than a third — 36 percent — think he’ll be a poor one. That’s not just Democrats bringing down the average; independents are basically holding true to the average.

I think the "poor" number of 36% will rise drastically over the next few months.

Vanity Fair also reports Vladimir Putin was directly involved with hacking the election (a story I'm no longer following.)

This thread is for all things Trump-related -- I no longer see the need to write about his poor judgment and behavior in separate posts.

    about the separate posts. You would be spending all day writing about toddler tantrums.

    ... that Russia hacked us to try to help Trump win.

    So the latest wingnut defense of Trump/Put in goes down in flames.

    Oops.

    ... and he runs away with it easily.

    In the past, we have tried to assemble a relatively equal number of claims by Democrats and Republicans but find that this is impossible this year. Donald Trump earned five of the "biggest Pinocchio" ratings; the previous record was three (President Obama in 2013 and Trump in 2015).

    There has never been a serial exaggera
