Rule #1: People do not change. He is what he is ... an old bully losing his grip quickly. As far as tax returns are concerned, I would be far more interested in reading the results of a detailed examination conducted by an independent team of neurologists and psychiatrists. His behavior cannot be described merely as inexplicably unprofessional, dismissive, combative and irrational ... he has now firmly landed in the zone of aberrant, unhinged and potentially dangerous.

Donald Trump: Making America Cringe Again.

Even the Twittersphere is beginning to blush and that is no easy feat.

Rule #2: Some of the most unstable/dangerous/inept people will look you in the eye, smile, seem extremely nice, speak so kindly, etc. I put more than a few politicians in that category.

I like someone who speaks their mind and isn't the worlds doormat. And it's refreshing to see someone finally standing up and feeling exactly the same way as the vast majority of American's feel about the media and beyond:

Gallup poll: Public confidence in media falls to all-time low - POLITICO

Voters agree media biased against Donald Trump - Washington Times

Though I can understand how doormat type people, people who let everyone walk over them in their own life, get all worked up when someone comes along and stands up for a change to their beliefs and takes off the PC filter.

Given it appears you like the phony smiley/tell me everything is all fine/rose colored glasses type in the face of how messed up and bought and sold our nation is on so many levels and you want to continue the same path we've been on with these types, there are plenty of those type of people and politicians left for you to listen to and admire.

When Trump was playing "Lets get the media to give me some attention", I said that he wasn't fit for presidency.

He fed a lot of people with the idea that somehow he was going to bring back manufacturing jobs and pay unskilled labor a middle class wage where a family of 4 could live off of one income. Not going to happen regardless of who is in office. Those days are over. Now it is about who can be competitive in the global marketplace and remain competitive.

The second group of people are the White Nationalist who fear becoming a minority and not being able to have things the way they where for their grandparents, great grandparents and great great grandparents. Those days are over. Many want to take us back but it isn't going to happen.

It is important for us to stop thinking out of emotions and start planning to really hold these people accountable for their actions. We cant be fooled by the media showing us a Trump figure to distract us.

You should have been planning to "hold these people accountable" decades ago as our country has continued to be run into the ground on so many levels and these types "fed a lot of people" with lots of lies and nonsense decade after decade. The fake smiley/inept/slick types haven't been working out very well.....hopefully you've noticed? And if you have, you favor these inept/bought and sold types and want to keep giving them your support? And btw, trump to many people is a try at something different other than the same old same old. I trust no politician but come on, give the guy a chance before you start prejudging, he's not even in office yet.

I am willing to give him a try because there is no other choice. If he does something right I will commend him. When he does something wrong I will not.

Trump is going to have to prove to me that he is better than dismantling ACA or building a wall and having Mexico pay for it. He has shown me who he is and it isn't pretty.

I am waiting.

That was not what I wrote, but alternative translations are fine.

Oh please. He's already been called out twice with his own words in past posts showing he did not support Trump at all. God some people will believe anything. No wonder libs still believe CNN is legit.

You must have "diplomacy" in the world arena - this is not your back yard with your wife- neighbors-- or coworkers- sorry--
he is being viewed by the world-- and saying the vast majority ?--No- the minority wants to let it all fly and the chips fall where they may -- some of us have some sense.

Natalie, God bless your heart, please remember that I'm one of those deplorables, just clinging to my guns and religion. So "butt-hurt" is the most descriptive phrase I know to describe the behavior of the losers in the past election. And if that phrase is getting old, so is your petulant behavior.

One more clue for you: The fact that you can't understand how your continued insulting of the folks who voted for President Trump helps to re-elect him is per se proof of my statement.

Aloha & have a great day!

He barely won and not all his supporters read internet forums or use social media.

The odds that he'll win again, given his behavior on the news, which many people DO read, is low.

He'll have to do some serious work to hold on to his voters.
