I don't think his ego will let him do that.

I do hope he realizes that he's in over his head. It's a much harder job than he thinks it is.

He probably knows her better than you do.

Trump is already having second thoughts about his VP pick.
Because it wasn't his pick. It was the kids'. Trump is incredibly indecisive.

Whatever happens is totally up to the President who must have the depth of knowledge to know what to do. King doesn't trust Trump to do the right thing. Civilization hangs on what our President does.

"Doomsday Plane"... minutes to decide what to do.

Are you playing too much Pokemon?


  • When it comes to Trump he will make a decision and act to defend America. He is looking to increase our military.
  • Hillary will be asking her advisors for their determination. She is looking to continue O Bama cuts on the military and withdrawal from foreign nations.

How would you know? and how would you know what Trump thinks?

I'd be willing to bet Trump has made far more decisions, under far more stress, with far more riding on the outcome, than, you, I and the next ten people combined.

The silliness that some folks post is so far over the top, it's damn near unbelievable. They'll say anything to just be saying something negative about their perceived opponent.

I think it's quite obvious some of these posters are paid misinformers and trash talkers hired by the DNC.

Deciding where to put the sand traps and what your opinion is on policy or who to pick as a VP are two very different kinds of decisions.

A candidate for president who cannot make a decision without consulting his children is rather alarming.

BBM to address!
I'm still amazed so many who profess such knowledge of Fed. Government actions including BO's actual Laws???? ( BO does not pass laws..only executive orders, which can be overturned IF another POTUS takes over)) CONGRESS passes LAWS!!

I have to assume you have no recollection about just why Sequestration took affect. In short it was because a House controlled by GOP and Ted Cruz filibuster tactics ( Green Eggs and Ham) and interfering with GOP Caucus in House ( which John B. took dim view of btw) in order to block passing of budget..~~ Voila~~Sequester became the consequences!! The new PAY FOR everything GOP member's refused to pass anything..yet due to their actions caused this military CUTS!!

Just to assist you, since it's apparent there's some LACK of cause for SAID CUTS~~ Long form explanation of just who these cuts directly affected..it guess what..IT wasn't just the Military!

http://bipartisanpolicy.org/wp-conte...d%20Impact.pdf

This link zero's in on JUST Military cuts~~
Pentagon's Massive Budget Cuts Would Redefine the U.S. Military | US News

Lets face it~~ Inability to compromise caused these massive CUTS!!

He's a glorified used car salesman. And just like any used car salesman, sure, he's had to make very important decisions that hinge on making a deal and getting as much income from that deal as he possibly can. That doesn't mean he's equipped to make a split-second decision that could involve destroying the world.

He's turning out to be a really crappy manager.

He's screwed up the RNC convention and his VP announcement -- and those are the two biggest things he had to get right so far. If this is an example of how he'd lead the country, we'll get years and years of Dems after he's gone.
