   A hero to conservatives everywhere. Profit above all, dressed up as reverence for initiative. And utterly clueless to aspriation and contribution to humanity at large. Utterly useless. Neat combo.

   Trump doesn’t understand the old maxim “Better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than speak and confirm for all who hear”. He is utterly predictable IF you understand that he is a psychopath with malignant narcissistic personality disorder – don’t take my word for it, it’ll take you less than five minutes to google DSM 5 Psychopath and DSM 5 Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Take the time to read and comprehend, and you will become very fearful for the United States of America.

    …And Bob’s your uncle means “and there it is” or “and there you have it.” It is commonly used in United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries. Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions or when a result is reached. The meaning is similar to that of the French expression “et voilà!”

    “Bob’s your uncle” is an exclamation that is used when “everything is all right” and the simple means of obtaining the successful result is explained. For example: “left over right; right over left, and Bob’s your uncle – a reef knot.” Sometimes the phrase is followed with “and Nellie’s your aunt” or “and Fanny’s your aunt.” It is sometimes elaborately phrased Robert is your mother’s brother or similar for comic effect.
