Trump's tweets reveal his character. Believe him.

This crap is baked in and he's not going to change.
I always told my kids when people show you who they are, believe them.

When the media gets nasty and shows you who they are, do you believe them or do you keep watching?

Let's think back a day or so to when Trump made the "you have a nice smile" comment to the female reporter. A pretty good week he was having up till that it must be said. What should have been seen as a kind gesture by a powerful leader, the type of comment that in Trump's mind could only be seen as gracious and above criticism turned sour on him oh so very fast.

With this dent to his pride, enraged yet again by the media, he lets fly on the first reporters around with something bad to say. Who just happened to be Mika and Joe on MSNBC.

The "bizarre" comment by the Irish reporter was what really enraged Trump and not so much Mika and Joe.

I do not think the President should of worded what he did this morning.

I don't think there should be attacking.

Although, calling out the media on their lies and agenda train, can make America greater.

Just like the movie stars, the media have become rating whores.
They need to sit back in their seat and stop thinking they are all that, do some real hit the beat research, then report.

Just a thought. This could end up being the longest thread on trump in C-D. If so what would that say about his term or legacy?

I dont see how this country can continue like this.. Am I the only one aware of this fact. People in such high positions behaving like little kids. It was obvious during the campaign something was very wrong. Did people think things would magically change, when the president was elected.

We have immense problems in this country, that are not being fixed. It's constant bickering and not focusing on fixing this messed up USA. Forget the damn tweets and do the damn job. Personally I think the media in this country, is way out of control. I'm not a big fan of Trump's personality, but he is the President. Leave him alone and give him a chance to do his job.

He should be busy with the many, many responsibilities of the presidency, not throwing tantrums about the press on a daily basis. That's how the previous 44 presidents have conducted themselves, even Nixon.

Not yet. 4 months is not enough time to judge any elected official.

Having said this I was and remain repulsed by Trump on a personal level.

I agree with you whole heartily.

I think politicians at the White House and in each State have behaved like this, behind closed doors. Ya know, the good ole boys club

Trump throws it out in the average persons face via our lovely technology.
But most politicians say the same crap.

I say quiet ya all politicians and do your elected jobs.
There was a time they were elected public servants.

Not anymore.
I don't think ANY of them should get paid what they do to be in any office that serves the public.
It gives them a false self identity that they are bigger than who they actually are.

Your post, Jimrob was great
