Embarrassing for whom? Certainly not for the perfect little AH, but our nation is cringing.

What a pathetic specimen. Being an utter embarrassment to your country on the international stage really ought to be an impeachable offense.

He’s been a bumbling buffoon his entire life. Apparently, neither his family, nor the state of Texas is easily embarrassed. He has become a laughingstock the world over, an embarrassment to all, but especially to anyone who was foolish enough to vote for him.

How about “Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job?” That’s got to rank right up there.

What’s tragic is that his bumbling and incompetence has cost people their lives.
