Please describe what a real American is. What are American values and rights, in your mind?

I guess some think that it is appropriate having a supposed "leader" be condescending, rude, childish, uninformed, unpleasant, self-involved, unknowledgeable, tactless and non-presidential, blurting out non-facts with nothing positive to offer those in the country or elsewhere.

Others appreciate and desire real leadership in a President - knowledge, trust, warmth, intelligence, honesty, fairness, equality, sanity, a sense of security and care for all.

Every POTUS learns on the job, the difference is that Trump is learning how to politic as well as President. He may never master the politic part since that seems to be a career path set by people at a younger age, but he may master the President part.

I gave him a chance and one month of incompetence is all I need.... our democracy and lives are at stake here.
Democrat Jimmy Carter was a peanut farmer. Ronald Reagan was an actor.
incompetence???? Trump is doing everything he said he would do.

Never heard or read this anywhere.


Where are you pulling it out from?


The point was they offered no support for anything that was not good for the country.

Perhaps the thread should have read, "Fellow Democrats, Your efforts to destroy the Abnormal President is much appreciated! Keep up the good work!

Well , Obama was no experienced guy. Did you forget that? Obama was a slick lawyer and knew to cover his tracks , watched every word so he could mislead everyone. And even on occasion Obama blatantly lied about Obamacare, Benghazi and hid the fact he worked with the IRS to tamper with those who supported a Republican candidate. Obama the snake lawyer who crafted his sentences to hide his agenda.

On the other hand we have a man who is so honest, he just says it like it is..no PC, puts in his opinion and the news runs with it saying Trump is lying. So get real. Trump is real and tells us what we don't want to hear , the huge problems we have because the democrats have sugar coated it all for years and did nothing about drugs pouring over our borders, illegals feel so free here some of them rape , steal, murder, lie and bring drugs . Americans are tired of the slap on the wrist and released ..

Since when do we get away with anything illegal? No , we have to make sure we have a drivers license, insurance, permit to do anything here. We have to follow the codes of the town, do not break any traffic laws and if we do we are fined and penalized. We have to tow the line and we are told , ignorance is no excuse. We must know the law and follow it.

A real American to the Reich is a straight, non Jewish/Muslim/athiest Joe Six Pack from flyover country or the south. Where if you are LGBT, Jewish/Muslim/athiest or from the coasts or the 1% (except Chester Cheetah for some reason) you are not a real American or are a communist/zionist
