President Donald Trump is the kind of guy I would like to sit down and have a cold one with.

Well may be I would if it wasn’t for all his bragging and his appointing his family to high positions even though they can’t get a security clearance.

And then there’s the firing of Comey and the near firing of his attorney general. And what about badmouthing the NSA, CIA and almost any other agency that might find out about Russian friendships and a ton of other nonsense?

Other than those things, it might be fun to talk to a president over a couple of beers. After all, how many people get to talk things over with the Don?

So lets see, what could we talk about?

Well, no matter what I ask about, I’d hear how bad the Russia investigation is and what a waste of time it is. So sad. And then its his turn and he a asks me how large I think the inaugural speech crowd was. “Why, it was the largest in history,” he would say.

Then he would tell me about how North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is afraid of him.

“I think I’ll shoot down his next rocket. It’ll be okay because he’s afraid of me,” he might say.

Then he could tell me how Benjamin Netanyahu is completely innocent of all this fake news and how he will be exonerated.

Of course, I will hear about how President Barack Obama screwed things up with Obama care and the Iranian nuclear deal.

Well, except for all that fertilizer, I think it’d be … well not so great as you would think.
