Seems with all the investigations swirling around him on the federal, state and local level he’s being pushed toward a psychological breaking point. I don’t think there’s anything he would not do to protect his own skin. Lashing out like a caged animal.

Even in the earliest days of his campaign there were disturbing signs of a man with profound personality problems. His supporters brushed it aside. These kinds of incitements to violence are profoundly disturbing and unprecedented in our history and should not be ignored.

I didn't vote for the man. I didn't vote for ANYONE in the past 6 or so years because I don't want or need rulers. I intentionally removed my name from the voter registration list so I wouldn't vote for anyone. I just support someone in high office who stands up to the nonsense leftist Alinsky styled tactics which have been used time and time again to stifle debate. I applaud a man who is confident enough to use those very same tactics, and NOT apologize for using them, as he soundly drives the lunatics on the left into their much needed safe spaces, binkies in hand. Good for President Trump.


Now, if you want, I'd be happy to explain what I don't like about President Trump's policies BUT that isn't what THIS thread is about.


But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

Turn the other cheek to what? Has someone actually knocked a red hat off your head recently? Or can you just not handle that there are people who think Trump does not belong in office and have the temerity to express it?

I have already posted — twice — that I have neither assaulted/bullied a Trump supporter nor would I in any way support someone who did. Displaying Trump/MAGA paraphernalia is protected free speech and not an invitation to violence, just as is holding a protest sign outside a Trump rally. We should all feel safe expressing our political beliefs peacefully. That people on both sides of the political spectrum no longer feel safe doing so indicates that something has gone terribly wrong in America’s representative democracy.

Maybe YOUR President, but not mine. Just like some Dictators in 3rd world counties consider themselves to be the President, Donald Trump is no more a President than they are.

Is this close enough?

Donald J. Trump is my president too. He successfully convinced enough Americans to vote for him using tactics for which he is only at this point an unindicted co-conspirator. Whether he will be formally indicted is an ungoiing matter.

Now back to my bean sprouts.

Why should this even happen?? Why should it even be suggested? Only the big cheese who is used to bullying and thinking that having a switchblade was good, liking to beat on those in the wrestling world, always being defensive and verbally attacking others and having incited violence in those who follow him - thinks this is appropriate. MAGA, indeed.

Nobody else would make these sorts of threats. (AND, since he has, there would at least then be lots of preparation to combat it).

We have a so-called president who is possibly the most unpatriotic president we have ever had. He's done nothing for the 'good of the country' in his entire shady life or for the last two years. Nothing. He could care less about the country being united--he'll split it using violence if necessary to stay in the WH.

He's now like Assange. Trump can't leave the WH because he'll be indicted and he knows it. THAT is what he cares about and that is ALL he cares about. Everything Trump does and says is for Trump first and always.
Getting him out of there and ending this nightmare is just not soon enough.

WHAT a putz!

As many law enforcement agencies will tell you, the radical right is a bigger threat to this country than any outside force.
Maybe he should just sic the IRS on them instead like the previous tyrant did.

We have never had a “Divider” as president before now. This man is a total disaster. He obviously wants to be a “ruler” not a president. This Liar talks like a thug he is. Surrounded by his corrupt cabinet. Wonder how his big ego is going to handle a presidential LOSS? Will he vacate the office peacefully?
