President Donald Trump kicked off his Thanksgiving by telling the country what he’s most thankful for at this annual time of reflection and gratitude: himself.

He said Thursday he’s most thankful “for having a great family and having made a tremendous difference in this country. I made a tremendous difference in the country. This country is so much stronger now than it was when I took office, you wouldn’t believe it.”

The braggadocious pronouncement was just the precursor to a strange call he had with the troops on Thanksgiving from Mar-a-Lago, during which he often veered into self-congratulatory waters.

  1. You’re right, Fats. I wouldn’t believe it.

  2. If I worked with this “person”, after a first conversation with him I would never speak to him again. If he were the boss, he’d be fragged (in the way bosses who are hated get sabotaged). And yet, I have to see and hear him all day every day world without end, ah-goddam-en. The toxicity is corporeal, viral, molecular.
