Considering his Body Mass Index (fat to lean ratio), he probably floats. But so do turds.

LOL.

Its not worth it. We see all he's doing, trying to do and already did in less then a month in office.
Its actually pretty incredible that he hit the ground running and did what no other politician did - kept all his campaign promises. The court might be blocking, but he's doing what he promised which is why he got elected.

So many closeted fans afraid of being called racist if they come and say - yeah Trump. Go!

It's hysterical really, because the facts, the statistics, the stockmarket - its all showing vast improvement and America is becoming the powerhouse it was - in the eyes of the rest of the World too.

The leaders of the other Countries both respect and fear him - and that's how you want it.
I do not know that I agree with the assertion that President Trump 'kept' all of his campaign promises.


Has he, for instance, 'locked up' Hillary Rodham Clinton? No, and no plans to, seemingly.


Obamacare? Still law. Indeed, Mr. Trump wishes to expand it.


The Wall? Nothing on that front. One cannot claim success for the 770 miles of fencing already up.


Remember when then-candidate Trump promised to never take vacations? I guess we won't count his flying each weekend to Florida to play golf (which he also had blasted Obama for doing).


Remember when Mr. Trump as candidate promised to 'reign in' Wall Street? Lots of Trump supporters herein claimed that due to this promise, he would easily win over the Bernie Sanders supporters. Recall when Mr. Trump blasted Goldman-Sachs? Look at what he is proposing about actually rolling back safeguards imposed on Wall Street in 2010. Look at the number of Goldman-Sachs executives that now make up his cabinet and retained as advisors.


Sure, he is deporting some Mexicans, and tried to ban Muslims from seven countries. I guess, to some people, such constitutes keeping all of his campaign promises.

I have noticed the same thing.

People who don't like Trump start posts that criticize Trump and his policies.

Trump supporters start posts insulting Dems/Liberals/Progressives.

The difference here (for the intellectually challenged) is that Trump critics are criticizing specific people and their policies. Trump supporters are criticizing millions of people they don't know.

This causes me a lot of concern as I think it is a stepping stone towards complete societal failure.

You won't need to lose a lot of sleep over this for long. tRump is on the skids, heading to impeachment. Though most likely he'll take the coward's (Nixon) way out, and resign.

Walk on water? I'm just hoping he doesn't crap in the pool . . . and I'm not optimistic about that.

Which is exactly the tack that Trump took to inspire his fans to vote for him.

You must not forget to mention that swamp draining thing.

That's actually an old Obama joke.

FWIW, I don't see walking on water as such a big accomplishment - ice fishermen walk on water every winter.
