The liberals are so over the top with TDS it's unbelievable. Donald Trump really does have all of you by the balls.

I ask this a lot, but nobody on the left ever has an answer. If you thing Trump is that bad, how come nobody ever offers better ideas? That includes the media pundits, the Dems in Congress, and the late night talking heads.

I don't think any of them have any better ideas. Whining like little school girls is about all they can do.

Trump didn’t have ANY ideas during his campaign NONE! He lied and said that he did and you all bought into his B.S.

And to this day he still doesn’t have any he just pulls things out of his arse.

It’s not that hard. It’s called a choice. Just like you can make a choice to be a productive member of society or not.

We are casting about on details when the obvious is clear.

He will be ONE of the worst Presidents in History. But that assumes his reign doesn't blow up our entire Republic and that we have a future where things are seen in the same light as before.

Look at Russia - Putin, the son of Stalin's cook....is setting the "history". So it all depends on whether we gain our sanity again.

Bush was a decent human that was a poor president that made decisions that were bad for our country. Trump is a horrible human being making purposefully horrible choices that are destroying our democracy. Trump is the best thing to ever happen for Bush's legacy.


Just like Bush when this horrible ride is over all of those that gleefully pulled that lever for Trump will get amnesia about it and will claim they never really liked him.

Oh, plenty of us have been offering better ideas for many many decades.

Here is a simple one. THINK.

Trump can't even work hard.....on actually taking some time and thinking and creating even the simplest of policies. This is why he acts impulsively...and then has to react and then screws everything up.

So, yes, the better ideas would involve him reading, understanding, having patience, actually knowing how the world works, etc.

An even better idea would be for him to have a moral compass.

But these things will not happen. Still, I provided you with a foundation of improvements- none of which are partisan in any way.

He never intended nor expected to win. He ran to increase his brand recognition for the Trump name and to negotiate a better deal for the Apprentice. You can find excerpts of speeches he has given in years past in which he has had rather liberal views.

I don't get wrapped up in the outrage that most of the media focuses on. I don't think he is actually a racist or a xenophobe. He is a narcissist. His ego is his first, last and ONLY priority or consideration. So he will flip flop on policies, change his views frequently and say the most outrageous things simply to protect his ego.

So as a result, we have someone who is not only supremely unqualified for the job but has an ego that prevents him from ever considering that he might be supremely unqualified for the job.

We effectively have a 70-something year old man, playacting as president for the TV cameras, saying what he thinks his base wants to hear and imaging that he is doing a great job. Meanwhile at least half the electorate are too stupid to see that he is making it up as he goes along and only in it for the ego-trip.

This entire sad episode in American history thus becomes an exercise in seeing how far the checks and balances that the founding fathers built into our system of government work to keep the country intact.

I almost don't even BLAME Trump himself. He's a narcissist who has acted this way his entire life and likley, literally does not know any better. For him to suddenly become self reflective and I guess.. awed by the sense of responsibility he wields would probably require some professional therapy over a long period of time and facing some rather unpleasant realities that his massive ego could not handle.

No.. I blame the enablers! The mind bogglingly idiotic voters who couldn't see that he had no business running and was just telling them what they wanted to hear.

I blame the Republicans who knew DAMN WELL he we was unfit for office but traded the country's security, well being and future for some short term political gain.

I blame his wife, family and friends who know DAMN WELL he is unfit for office and many of whom likely also know he never really intended or wanted to win but they enable this trainwreck for their own personal gain or comfort at the expense of the rest of us.

I blame the media as well and I don't mean Fox news. They share blame as well for being his mouthpiece but I am talking about the mainstream, liberal slanted media who gave him endless and non-stop coverage during the election cycle because it meant better ratings every time he said or did something outrageous.

Correct on every single point here, I couldn't have said it better.
