Trump is the direct result of a very lame do nothing GOP and a democrat party that bet it all on class warfare.
There is something every middle-class American knows.
The rich will never pay for social programs. The Democrats are as rich or more than the their republican counterparts. They won't vote to hurt themselves. If the left hates Trump, look in the mirror, you helped to create the environment that made him president.
If you think that Obama is the true divider you just landed on earth after a two year absence. I don't know if you missed some of Trumps rallys and statements but they are very divisive. Something we can agree on is that the rich never pay their fair share, and Trump has only made it worse.


Trump is an accidental president due to both parties, perfect time and place but he is a disaster and he will be one for the history books for years to come.

That is the type of fake news which shows how leftist and unprincipled the media has become, and many of you are not even aware how much you are manipulated.

Rest assured there are times when I cringe over some of Trumps tweets and things he focuses on, but I also see a lot of the good things he is doing as well.
I do not allow the MSM false narrative of him to blind me to the good like some apparently do.
He is your president just like Obama was mine. Yet I didn't find fault with every single breath Obama and his family took like those with TDS are suffering with over Trump.

Food for thought.

Well put and I so agree. Thank you!

Now, back to reality.

Cory Gardner's wife received a text message depicting a beheading after the Kavanaugh vote, "and that someone has publicly posted the names and addresses of his family members."

Democrats disgust me.

Good luck with your blue wave.

How did Obama unite? Thru class warfare? The Us v.s them when it came to social policies? The great lie known as the ACA?

Forget his approach to Ferguson, that was more Holder, but still.

Trump is also a divider, but he certainly didn't start the game, nor is he as effective as Obama and com many. Hell Obama and his supporters even made whites feel guilty to be white.
Trump is the accidental president, but blame your own party for that. They ran that dead horse. They bet it all on that dead horse and now we are stuck with Trump.
The GOP has been lame for 20 years. Looks like the dems have joined them.

Oh yes, how cruel, Trump has more Americans back to work, and is making great trade deals, got Kim Jong Un to cross the demarcation line, lowered our taxes...if that's what the Dems consider "hateful", then I don't want anything that the Dems are selling.

Trumps not cruel and either are most Americans who support him. He doesn't suffer fools, there's a difference. And I suppose to people who are used to being told they are special, the truth might seem cruel. He's not playing politics to get everyone to like him and be calm, he's getting things done that need to be done and not letting the people throwing tantrums distract him. Leadership, not bff.

Trump is not a politician, he's a businessman. He knows how to get things done in the real world, and demanding accountability is a key component.

Every rally he holds he gets his followers to cheer the suffering of others. Blames the Democratic Party for everything that is wrong. He has divided this country further than it has been in centuries. He has done nothing to unite us and keep us as a strong America.
-He mocked her story. Which if you paid any attention it was BS. If she gets charged for perjury don't be surprised. How do you know she was sexually assaulted anyways? Where's the evidence?
-He mocked a reporter by using the same gesture he did when they twist his words around. You people act like he said "Oho, he's disabled so therefore he should be mocked bigly lol".
-That was Obama. These illegal kids get better treatment in these holding facilities than some American kids do in inner city schools.

I don't care if he's "cruel". His stupid tweets and beefs with celebs annoy me but his "divisive" bully pulpit is working. This country needed a cutthroat who has the ability to get stuff done, and he has whether you like him or not. After Reagan(who blamed Dems as well) which President has "united" the country? Black/white relations tanked under Obama.
