That kind of game is only important to those who aren't sure of their standing or their convictions.

And please don't pretend it was the bow...it was Obama -- you didn't like him. Okay -- but stop making it about the show.
The same could be said about your comments too. It's Trump --you don't like him. We know it. Contrary to what you believe, Trump has at least attempted to do more in his first 30 days than the last 4 Presidents combined did. Has he succeeded in doing all of it, no of course not. That doesn't mean his intentions weren't there and he has no control over Federal Courts and their decisions. So don't go on about how he doesn't accomplish anything, or doesn't try to keep his promises.
Will the wall be built, probably not but at least illegal immigration is down 60% over what it was with Obama. That in itself makes me very happy he was elected.
We have another conservative on the Supreme Court. That far outweighs anything negative you can say about him for many of us. Despite all the dire economic predictions by liberals and the media, the economy continues to do very well so that's a non issue.
I think about what would have happened if Hillary's tush was in the White House and I cringe. No thank you. Life is good with Trump.
Your entitled to hate Trump and dislike him personally, but then don't criticize someone who disliked Obama and found fault with almost everything he did because you and others are doing the exact same thing. You've made it about the show.

An encouraging article that came out today on all the underreported accomplishments of Trump so far.

Care to address your abhorrent hypocrisy?
You will have to ask the people you are referring to, since I wasn't even posting here when Obama was President.

So, why did he refuse to say the words he mocked Obama for not saying?

The truth hurts doesn't it? Some of you can dish it out, but then can't take any kind of criticism when the obvious is pointed out to you. There's your hypocrisy.

I wasn't criticizing the choice of not liking Obama. I merely pointed out that the bow comment was more about Obama and not really about anything else.

I have posted a number of times I respect those who continue to suppoort their own political ideology.

I do not respect the blind loyalty to support a man who has no political convictions, is incompetent and is not a good manager or leader.

Things are good in spite of Trump not because of him.

That's how strong our country is. There are forces in place that will allow for a totally incompetent person to be President without bringing down the country -- in the short term.

Early days yet. We have yet to see how the Supreme Court will play out. What changes there will truly impact your day to day life......who knows.

That's more than fair although I disagree with you about Trump being totally incompetent, but that's your opinion.

Donald Trump’s old tweets keep coming back to haunt him. This time, they followed him to Saudi Arabia, during his first trip overseas as President of the United States.

In 2015, half a year before he officially announced he was running for president, Trump criticized then-First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama for not wearing a headscarf over her hair during a trip to Saudi Arabia.

But "Now" when Trump and his family visited the Islamic nation this weekend, people noticed that his wife Melania Trump and daughter Ivanka Trump did the exact same thing.
It's amazing how all his attacks on Obama come back to bite him in the face. Trump let race bias make him stupid, now Trump continues to get bit in the face by his own race biased virtoil... he slung out in his attack upon Obama
