This week, our mentally deranged president, @realDotardTrump, made his glorious debut at the United Nations.
Like a "Rocket Man," he burned out his fuse up there alone.
Unsurprisingly, Trump's speech—with its heavy emphasis on his "America First" agenda and belligerent threats against North Korea—was not well-received by the august body dedicated to global diplomacy.
But that's not to suggest that Trump's U.N. appearance was all negative.
He had high praise for a nonexistent African country's health care system, and lauded the business opportunities that the continent provides to so many of his friends who are looking to strike it rich.
*facepalm*

Deposed judge/senate candidate Roy Moore shared some colorful remarks with his supporters.
Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, one of two Republicans competing in a primary runoff next week, appeared to use racially insensitive terms to describe Native Americans and Asians during a campaign speech on Sunday.
Moore, a former chief justice on the state Supreme Court, lamented divisions between Americans based on race, mentioning "reds and yellows."
"We were torn apart in the Civil War — brother against brother, North against South, party against party. What changed?" Moore asked in footage provided to The Hill by a Republican monitoring the race.
"Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What's going to unite us? What's going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It's going to be God."
Meanwhile...
Former sheriff David Clarke had an off-color response for a reporter asking about his security detail.
Former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke (D) is not afraid to toss the f-bomb at inquiring reporters from his hometown newspaper.
"'F--- you and the horse you rode in on.' I'm David Clarke and I approve this message," Clarke wrote last week in an email to Daniel Bice, a self-described "political watchdog columnist" for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
The email response came after Bice sent a list of questions to Clarke asking how the former sheriff felt about the loss of his round-the-clock security detail and the costly expenditures that the constant protection has racked up for taxpayers to cover.
Bice reported last week that Milwaukee County, Wis., had spent more than $220,000 in 2017 to provide protection for Clarke due to the "multiplicity of threats" against him after he left his post late last month.
Giddyup!
