If these posters are Liberals, that would indicate that Liberals are anti-American and want to harm America.
He already hurt the United States by what he said. You don't think they have access to the internet or televisions over there and haven't heard his previous comments?

I think they are smart enough to know the difference between campaign rhetoric and diplomacy speech.
And that's why he's been welcomed so warmly in Saudi Arabia.

I never said anything about a learning period, I said he is 'brand new to politics and foreign policy' and that he said his 2 best qualities are his listening skills and his flexibility.

Given that he's brand new to politics and foreign policy, he is constantly listening (as you do when you are new) and he's showing his flexibility by reacting to the latest developments.
If you criticize that.....very strange thing to criticize.
Seems like you are willing to cut him some slack because he is "brand new to politics".

So during the campaign he was just saying what ever his base wanted to hear so he could get elected. now that he's in office, that stuff doesn't matter?

No, I think they are smart enough to know when they are being lied to.

No, I said he's 'brand new to politics and foreign policy' because it is relevant to the fact he said that his best qualities are 'listening' and 'flexibility'. Listening is the key when you are new, and flexibility somewhat too.

Campaigns are a show, and the main purpose of them is to WIN.
Plus you have to be flexible once in the White House and react to the changing landscape domestically and globally.

What a horrible day for liberals this has been.
Get out of here with that .... !!!!!!!!!! Learn to think and pay attention just might benefit you to become aware of more than your belligerent ignorance!!!

Obama tried to tell that to Trump..... and you guys still harp on campaign talk of Obama, WITHOUT acknowledging that once in office, the world keeps spinning and one has to make adjustments and changes.

So, if you can digest that of Trump, you need to backtrack in your mind and acknowledge the exact same with Obama.

Can you get over your bias enough to do that... if not...you are a hypocrite !!!!

Only deal with the threads that you want to deal with, and stop trying to control and regulate the board, that might well be to your better benefit.

No, that is what Trump made them. The purpose is to get the know the candidate's positions on the issues and to help voters determine if they are fit for the the job.

I love how Trump supporters throw everything they used to believe out the window to support Trump.

I hope you remember you forgiving and nurturing attitude for the next president from the opposite party takes office.
