Just think what could happen if a truly brilliant but evil person became President. Some one that actually used the intelligence resources at their disposal rather than belittle them. Some one that actually knows how government works.

We should be thankful that Trump is more of an idiot than the people that elected him.
I've had that terrifying thought myself.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: trying to find a positive in the nightmare that is the Trump presidency, moving forward, I think having Donald as president will end up being a good thing for our country. It will unite us, at least somewhat.

And because of Trump being so unbelievably unqualified for the presidency, I can see BIPARTISAN legislation moving forward in the future that would require certain qualifications to hold office, to include having served either in the military or to have worked for government as some level before (municipal, state, federal, etc).

Default Another unnamed source

I really believe it when no one has the courage to state their name when making accusations.

Actually, those meeting Trump come out saying how likable he is. Sorry to disappoint your faith in your rag mag.
As I've said elsewhere, posters wallowing in insulting slurs don't deserve a serious response. But if you're speaking of vindictiveness, think about all the times Trump has sued, or threatened to sue. Perhaps if you read more, you would have a better sense of the vindictive way he's threatened people.

Yes, I suppose you could say that Trump is the poster child for mental disorders since, like many prominent business figures, he appears to have sociopathic tendencies.

LMAO
You seem to be insulting the source while knowing nothing about it. Which is typical of Trump supporters. It's not a fashion magazine.

I think you may be right in the long term - by which I mean 20, 30, 40, 50 years. However, in the short term, it's hard to see anything positive, except perhaps the flood of women into the House.

No sources named. Fake news. They lie so much it impossible to tell truth from error.

No, actually, we have evidence that this is the general consensus from numerous publications, chief amongst them the book by Bob Woodward entitled Fear. Woodward used numerous unnamed sources to protect their careers in Washington, D.C.., and surely has also protected himself by recording many of their confessions.

The evidence of dissatisfaction is voluminous.

Yet he wants to serve a second term of office. How can he continue to find people willing to work for him when he's alienated so many? It seems that it's already a struggle and will only get worse.

Vanity Fair
Does anyone in their right mind believe Vanity Fair, that highly credible political and historical rag?

He's alienated so many of his staff and cabinet members, maybe he'll have to hire undocumented immigrants to fill the positions?
