God dammit. 

I'm starting to feel a little bad about how often I have to fire up my computer and let you guys know all the ways why electing a reality-TV gameshow host was a bad idea. No, I'm not. He sucks. Well, here's another one. 

Despite telling Tucker Carlson that he loves to read, Trump and his White House do not read. That's why they sent out this email earlier today, which links to a friggin' satirical article in the Washington Post. 

The article entitled "Trump's budget makes perfect sense and will fix America, and I will tell you why" comes from a columnist Alexandra Petri, who writes humor columns for the Post. But, come on, that headline seems like it was written by our president, so you can see why he wanted everyone to see it and, presumably, print it out and hang it on their fridge. 

Please get it together, Donny. Your finger is on the button.
