Your naive to believe ANY politician loves this country it’s all about money and power for them. For Trump it’s all about him. His speeches prove that much.
I don’t watch Tv we don’t have cable nor do I see the point in wasting my money on it.
Yes, most are in it for themselves, strokes their egos. For T it feeds his intense and pathological narcissism.
I think of Trump as a con artist. There are people who want to believe the con artist, they need to believe the con artist. Unfortunately, the effects aren't limited to the believers and we're all going to go down.
Trump is a master politician. I've always given him that. In fact I'd say that is why he's been able to avoid impeachment. Everything we do know about Trump combined with his incompetence would have sank any other President. He knows how to play his base and push their buttons to keep them loyal to him and hating the Democrats. He knows how to play to their fears of an America that is less white, less straight, and less fundamentalist and looks less like a Norman Rockwell painting from the 1950s. That is why he's been able to remain so popular.
Remain so popular -- define popular....he didn't have the popular vote.
No matter what you think about Colbert he’s hit the nail on the head here. Trump is a brilliant marketer he plays the victim very, very well, to the point he speaks to those people who feel they have been the victim themselves. So for them Trump speaks for these so called victims. No matter how many times Trump plays the victim card for his supporters it never gets old.
And maybe that’s where they feel they can relate to him. Even though he’s not a victim.
It's possible. It's also possible that they like him because he sounds like a flounderingly uneducated guy. It's also possible they like him because he makes endless pie-in-the-sky promises. It's also possible they like him because he leads a recklessly self-centered life, insulting people, groping women, backing out of deals.
The odd thing about Trump is that he is still trying to return this country to its founding principles after having endured the worst tantrums by political foes in our nation's history short of the assassinations and attempted assassinations of the past. It takes a strong, resolute, and dedicated person to weather the slander, vicious attacks, false-accusations, and general petulance he has tolerated. He's the only president in my lifetime, besides Reagan, who has stood up to the authoritarian collectivists. Just the fact that he has the backbone to stand up to that is amazing. I'd have given it all the middle finger a long time ago.
^^^^^
Amazing.
A strong President would let the criticisms roll off of his or her back and refrain from 'punching down'.
Trump's reactions aren't displays of backbone.
They're because he's thin skinned and insecure, and is seemingly incapable of keeping himself from reacting.
People in other countries notice this.
The 'Trump Baby Blimp" came from outside of the United States.
Trump's reaction to the blimp....."I guess when they put out blimps to make me feel unwelcome, no reason for me to go to London"....................poor little Trump.
