Part 3. Exercise
Comment: The reality is, 45 is in so far over his head that even Republican members of Congress are trying to distance themselves from him, or risk losing future elections. Every time he opens his pie hole and with every kindergarten mentality Tweet it becomes more and more apparent just how inept and ignorant he truly is about what the job of POTUS requires. He hasn't shown an ounce of leadership, and that reeks of weakness.

Non-threat
