I never liked Clinton and liked Trump's F-You attitude. But I always thought he would start to act more presidential after he was elected president.

From what I saw on today's press conference, that does not seem to be the case. He was acting like a maniac. He continued to trash our nation's intelligence agencies. He lashed out at the press. And for me, the most damaging was that he said he would not release his tax returns. He told us he would release them after his audit. Now he is saying he will not. I actually want to see them. I thought nothing of it when he said he'd release them after the audit, but now I feel fooled.

He also seemed very angry. He seems to have gone back on many of his promises. It is almost like he is working for the elite and only worried about himself.

I am still holding out hope, but did I make a major mistake voting for Trump?

P.S. I understand that living in NY, and us having the electoral college, my vote probably didn't even matter, but I voted with my heart and for what I thought was best for our country.

The reality is starting to set in for the president-elect. I give him a year tops before he cracks under the pressure. I wish I could say that I'll enjoy watching the unraveling, but I don't relish the upheaval facing the country as he struggles with the demands of the office. He simply does not have what it takes, and I'm sorry that all of us, him included, are going to learn that the hard way.

I'm willing to bet that Trump was extra feisty today due to the "Golden Showers" report. I can't imagine every press conference will be like this.

I too hoped he'd of toned it down by now, but no matter how much of a pompous ass he can be, I remain horrified at the mere thought of Hillary winning. With a Trump we at least have a chance of getting the country back on course. There was no chance with Hillary.

No regrets.


I saw him acting in control at the press conference. The rude guy screaming the questions out of turn was the one acting like the maniac.

I know a fair number of people in Kentucky who are already starting to regret it, or at least starting to wonder.

And I tell them the same thing I'll tell you - told ya so. Anyone stupid enough to have not seen that ignorant, psychotic buffoon for what he is deserves everything that's going to happen to them in the coming years. You get no sympathy from me at all.

Well darn we were all looking forward to your sympathy. What a shame...

The main issue with Trump isn't his "extremism", which is mostly an exaggeration on his part, but this simple issue: He legitimately, probably has narcissistic personality disorder, and he has no control over it.


And that is the main issue, his lack of control. Hillary may well be the same way, but at least she can keep her "dark passenger" in check just long enough to have a debate or a press conference. Trump never stops and can't help himself. Every insult he feels he has to answer. He can't even deal with Saturday Night Live poking fun at him.

His whole life has been him talking himself up to everyone, including himself, that he is the best. He has to maintain that image no matter once and when the facade falls, he loses it and goes into childhood temper-tantrum mode.

Honestly, this will sound like a joke, but, hear me out: I think Dr. Drew should talk to him.

Why? He is a celebrity doctor and has been on television, both things Trump respects. He should seriously try to ease his way into becoming his personal physician, and slowly see if he can steer him toward having some therapy.

Trump is mental, but I don't blame you for hating Hillary. Honestly, when both hands are dipped in poo, which one do you shake?

Still, Trump is Trump, and always will be.


BTW...he sued to stop this very old documentary for being released.


This was way, WAY before he ran for office. This is him, in all his "glory." Watch it, and tell me if you regret voting for him more or less.
