Just as Obama was when he was elected... Community organizer and a vote abstaining congressman don't count as experience or in your mind, do they?

Yet, somehow this man knows how important being the President of the USA is and Trump does not.
Shame on Obama, trying to defeat ISIS without endangering the lives of front line soldiers. Every Conservative knows you have to put lots of dispensable boots on the ground if you want to defeat the enemy.
I am sure president Trump will have no problem sending sons and daughters into harms way just to prove that he get's things done. Why train the military if your not going to use them? Why have atomic weapons if your not going to use them.
Pretty sure Arlington cemetery has some room for our dispensable front line fighters.

Default Some won't admit to it

As my mom and I talked right after the election (we're African-Americans and live across the country from each other), it's apparent that a lot of people wouldn't admit before the election that they were voting for Trump and now post-election they still won't admit having voted for him. We believe this cuts across all racial and socio-economic lines.

At this point, I can understand those who voted for him but won't admit to it. Not only because of concerns about being misaligned, attacked verbally or physically, but also being called a racist or sell-out (person of color) when their reasons for voting for him was primary believing that he has the business mind to improve our economy and had the guts to not get bogged down in all of the over-the-top PC nonsense.

The other reason they won't admit voting for him IMO is because of Trump's unpredictable and often childish behavior. I'm sure most of his supporters thought initially that it was just an act Trump did to create and maintain the media buzz which could benefit his campaign. Now that he's been elected, the excessive tweeting over petty junk, the refusal to comply with any of our democratic traditions and expectations, the continuing childish immature comments & behavior, LACK of statesmen-like behavior, and the "deplorables" that surfaced immediately after his win who made his election all about THEM: affirmation of their idealogy and hatred towards everyone else even other Whites who don't completely agree with them hook line and sinker. They've attempted to attach themselves to several corporations such as New Balance footwear. Thankfully, those companies immediately RELEASED statements disavowing any ties with them. I don't blame decent people who voted for Trump now shyng away. To date, it's become an ever-increasing, embarrassing clown show, peppered with the racists acts of low-lifes against innocent people, on the world's stage. This is very humiliating for a country who is supposedly trying to being "great" again.

Obama can not be defended in any way where war is concerned. He has been an absolute failure.

Media and liberals still at war with Trump. What new story are they gonna dig up or make up next I wonder.

I don't see people criticizing their bosses for not attending all work meetings.

I think Donald doesn't have the time. These "briefings" are so time consuming. (There will not be enough time left for the apprentice). He "delegated" the responsibility to Mike Pence who apparently was happy with that. Go figure...
