Trump doesn't like the media because they are watching him and letting us sane people know what nefarious antics he and Bannon are up to.

I already know they're mental make up. They're soft as pie filling.

Heh, we need more cardboard cutouts of Trump in blue cities. There's some humor to be derived there and media covering it would enrage Trump all the more.

I've never met someone who gets offended by the simple act of making fun of Trump. But don't forget, making fun of Trump is part of a larger effort to discredit and delegitimize him. So a lot of people feel that someone making fun of Trump, forces them on the defensive.

I'm not impressed by Trump's ability to speak, and his seemingly-limited vocabulary, and his lack of knowledge in important areas. But the claim by liberals that Donald Trump is an idiot always bothers me.


Keep in mind, I call people idiots all the time, but in most cases, I don't believe that they are actual idiots. But more that they are BEING idiots(usually the cause is "confirmation bias").

I can agree that Trump has many flaws, and that a lot of the things he says, are pretty dumb. But Trump is not an idiot.

If liberals could understand the difference between IS an idiot, and IS BEING an idiot. I think they could be more persuasive.


For reference think of a "Grammar-Nazi". Bad-spelling and poor grammar is not indicative of stupidity. And when some self-righteous person enters a thread, and attempts to deligimatize the OP by criticizing his spelling, but adding nothing else to the conversation, to me it always just seems petty, and causes me to lose respect for the guy, while being more-sympathetic to the OP.


Grammar-Nazi behavior is the essence of liberal criticism of Donald Trump. I have nothing wrong with someone pointing-out a grammar mistake, but that cannot be their entire argument. Liberals don't really want to discuss what Donald Trump is saying, or the fact that so many people agree with Donald Trump. Because they are spending all their time making fun of him. And it accomplishes nothing.

They know why you hate them. And really...they don't care since you guys pretty much hate anyone that scrutinizes Trump.

And another bald faced lie from the left. Not that anyone is surprised.

Did you wonder about that when Obama fans acted the same way?

I don't understand why people get so butt-hurt when someone says Trump isn't their president. Why does it matter?


Its kind of like someone in the middle-ages saying that so-and-so isn't their King. And then the other peasants getting mad because they said it.


Just because someone has power over you, doesn't mean you have to accept that power as legitimate.

Though, it still doesn't change the fact that they have power over you.
