He got the "choice of the people " who count!

You can keep spinning it anyway you want and it won't change anything.

Trump won by winning the electoral vote WHICH IS THE WAY WE ELECT OUR PRESIDENT. PERIOD.

Hillary, "The SMARTEST woman in the world" was NOT smart enough to go after the electoral votes she need to win.

She "assumed" the "blue wall" state were all wrapped up for her.

I guess she isn't as smart as you and her supporters thought she is!

Try arguing with a leftist on moral grounds, and you'll soon discover they believe in subjective morality, meaning, nothing is truly "bad" or "good," but rather it's up to an individual's opinion, or perhaps the laws of a country at a given time. Yet they are very quick to judge and label Trump as if their opinions hold some kind of universal consensus. But by their own admission, their character judgments are trivial at best, and what they're really saying is "Donald Trump is bad, however, it's just my personal definition of 'bad' and yours may differ, in which case we are equally correct."

See how frivolous it is? That's why I can't possibly take what they say seriously.
I'm not a leftist...whatever that means. Read what you wrote. A fine example of subjective morality. Think about it. And then think about it again.

Trump is President, so be it. I find his behavior and words alarming. Coming from three generations of career Annapolis naval officers, I find this most appalling:

In an interview from 1997, our fearless leader claimed he was a “brave soldier” for avoiding STDs during his single years in the late ’90s.

“It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there. It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider." He elaborated further calling women’s vaginas “potential landmines” and saying “there’s some real danger there.”

Doesn't that count? Gosh, I'd even go as far to call him a war hero 'cause he wasn't captured.

I'm so grateful for the day Trump set me straight about POWs. "He’s not a war hero,” the always eloquent Trump said about Senator McCain. “He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured."

AND to know that my President's manhood is well proportioned.....well, gee, it just makes me swell with pride.
"Look at those hands, are they small hands?" Trump said during a debate, raising them for all to see. "And, he (he, meaning Rubio) referred to my hands -- 'if they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee."

And he has a penchant for grabbing women's vaginas. A true man's man. A president we can all be proud of.

The left doesn't like him simply because he won the election, and he's not a liberal that's part of the Democratic party that conforms to all of their nonsense. It's pretty much as simple as that. Liberals and the elitists are actually less open minded than non-liberals they expect everyone to agree with them and this all spills over into academia.

Yes, for sure, no one could judge him for the many terrible things he said throughout his campaign.

He's the big thinker, fearless actually, who pressed ahead and earned his way to the heights he achieved
Are you seriously trying to sell me on him being one of the regular people?

I never accused Trump of being lazy or not entreprenurial. I said that he's never had to live like the rest of his. He was born into a wealthy family and given a great amount of "seed" money. He was also given great advantages in schooling in posh private schools since he could go to school. There's nothing wrong with being an elite, not at all.

My point was that Trump himself did not bring himself up from nothing and have to learn work with people. If his dad wasn't the boss, he was, right out of college.

Lightbulb Is Donald J. Trump A "Bad" Person?

That's probably irrelevant.

He's being shady, that much is for certain. Hiding SO much that pervious presidents made transparent.

Let's see if he's a "bad" president. That's what's important now.

Firstly, he is "one of the regular people", you can look back on interviews he did 30 years ago and even then he talks about how the cab driver and the newstand guy are the people that relate best to him.

Secondly, I never wrote about "regular people", I wrote about how in spite of starting with a leg up Trump is a self made man. If you don't believe me then read some biographies of him from 3rd party sources. He and he alone was the one who started investing and building in Manhattan when his father and everyone around him was telling him he was crazy.

Or has done throughout his life.

Trump claims to be a multi-billionaire but there are no charitable endeavors he supports, nothing but a trail of bad debts and lawsuits and settlements.

Lots of talk about how many jobs he creates, but last I read he was importing foreign workers to run his resorts in Florida. I'm not putting that in the plus column.
