Whether you love, hate, or are ambivalent (which is probably unlikely) about President Donald Trump, you have to admit that it’s pretty puzzling for him to refer to himself as America’s “favorite president.”
We should have a contest as to which of the Networks, plus CNN and not including Fox, is the most dishonest, corrupt and/or distorted in its political coverage of your favorite President (me). They are all bad. Winner to receive the FAKE NEWS TROPHY!

After all, his approval rating is somewhere in the 30 percent-range…plus he’s also the only current American president, so that self-congratulatory sentiment is quite a stretch. Nevertheless, in recent weeks Trump has taken to referring to himself in the third person as “your favorite president.” Heartily disagreeing with him: singer, actress, and all-around American treasure Bette Midler. She took him to ask for it on Trump’s home turf of Twitter:

And then some of the most clever and catty people on Twitter weighed in to show Midler they had her back.

I would take Chester Arthur's goofy facial hair over that top ferret any day

Remember the days when we thought George W Bush was as bad as a president could get. Ahh, the good old days.

And who does it. Votes for himself. I'd take Damian or Frankenstein or Freddy Kruger & Devil over Trump.
