Remember when he Tweeted the Nazi soldiers walking across the White House lawn with the US flag as a backdrop?

He isn't even in office. What, precisely, is he trying to distract from right now?

Well, we still have a Congress, so I hope this type of behavior will get voters off their behinds in 2018. However, I fear that it won't make much of a difference. I'm not surprised that so many people are supporting his diatribes. After all, more than 60 million people voted for Trump.
I've already come to the conclusion, based on recent history, that the entire republican controlled congress couldn't muster up a complete set of balls to stand up to Donald Trump. I'm afraid they'll roll over like a two legged dog at his every spontaneous whim, of which there will be many.

Is that so?

Like this "progressive"?

Distraction politics wasn't the only thing that won him the presidency, which is why he wants Steve Bannon by his side. Trump can spout lie after lie and his supporters repeat the words as the gospel truth.

How do you take away someone's citizenship who's a natural born citizen? Where are you going to deport them to, Mars? No other country will accept them. They are only US citizens. So what are they supposed to do after 1 year in jail? Run around with no social security number unable to get a job at walmart or a drivers license? How is this insanity constitutional? He's so completely irresponsible and emotional with the things he says. He doesn't have the emotional maturity to hold the office of President. Hopefully it's not a complete disaster for the next 4 years.

News flash, he didn't win with distractions, he won as a populist.

Did he throw out a distraction here and there when he was receiving heat? Yes, but it was no different than Hillary or most politicians before him.

Distraction politics are the least of our worries as far as Trump goes.

No, actually I don't. I find it absolutely fascinating that people believe progressiveness is synonymous with Nazism. But I understand if you don't want to defend your statement. Much easier to make a controversial statement than to back it up with facts.

I also know you are full of it and I have no desire to explain to you how socialism was a component of the Nazi party and how fascism is a tool they use. Progressives are liars (end justifies the means) and so they will obfuscate the facts, word smith, cheat, etc... to try and deceive.

Run along.

Let me save you the trouble, off to ignore you go!
