Does Trump look presidential? Is this a joke?

Maybe the president of a used car lot.

He's a bragging blowhard with zero appeal. If he hadn't been born into money he'd be selling knives door-to-door. And that's an insult to door-to-door salesmen.

Trump's hands are very presidential.

Morning Joe roundtable (including close buddies Joe and Mika surprisingly) do not think Trump has a presidential feel at all.

They think he's going off the rails again and that his screaming and attacking Hillary and Obama makes Trump look like a kid in a baseball hat. He should be talking policy--not attacking federal judges on the basis of ethnicity, not screaming about Hillary and not asking the crowd "Hey--do you like my plane?"

They think he does not really want to be president or wouldn't be acting as he is.

Please, please think again.

I don't know the ages of the majority of the Trump lovers; but if you read or listen about World history; there was a man named Hitler; that had such a hatred for certain people, he spoke just like Trump. His followers thought they would have a chicken in every pot, that the depression was going to be over. How did that work out????
^^^^
Here we go yet again! Another anti-Trump invokes Godwin's Law. You lose! Big time!

What "hatred for certain people" does Trump have? Do tell! Oh wait...he, like the majority of Americans, dislikes illegal aliens. Well, guess what? Illegals have no business being here, let alone working.

I guess your idea of "presidential" is a polished empty suit who is very meek and lets people walk all over him/her---plus caves into PC BS and lies to the voters, because in the end, they are beholden to their mega-rich donors and said donors come before their constituents. Years of business as usual have gotten this country the current mess.

Speaking of "a chip on his shoulder" --- you just described Obama!

Is Trump perfect? No, not at all. However, millions of Americans from all walks of life are fed up with being put ahead of mega-rich donors and recognize the need for drastic change. It's too bad that you are unable to see this. Thus, you are reduced to invoking Godwin's Law.

He has spoken in quite disgusting generalizations toward:

Women
Blacks
Hispanics of Mexican heritage

Not to mention the gross impersonation of the disabled that he thought was cute.

So...as much as you Trumpettes hate to admit it, he has spoken hatefully toward quite a few groups of "certain people". You'd like to think that no one remembers or cares about these things, but come November, you'll find out just how many of us remember, and vote accordingly.

Wrong. Trump was referring to illegal alien Mexicans---not Mexican Americans.

Blacks? Just what did Trump do to show hatred towards blacks?

Women? Seriously? Just because he called out Megyn Kelly?

That business with the disabled reporter---long ago debunked but anti-Trumps keep beating a dead horse.

Like what you said, endlessly, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, about Cruz being the GOP nominee, you are wrong about this too.

I'll just respond to some of this with stuff that comes immediately to mind:

Mexicans: just the other day he called a natural-born American judge "Mexican", and not in a nice way. Was he saying the guy was an illegal? I dunno. Is that why he said it? I dunno. Is the guy illegal? No.

Women: his obsession with kelly has gone on more than long enough. But, she is really only among the latest women he can't seem to make nice with. Sorry, can't recall her name - governor of some state in the southwest who he still can't get over not coming to his rally. And, of course, every time he opens his mouth about clinton, what he says goes way beyond what a decent candidate would say about a competitor. Not to mention his colossal flip flopping about whether to punish women or make them victims of abortions. Yeah, no problem whatsoever about women. Don't make me laugh.

Disabled reporter - not debunked. You can't 'debunk' what trump actually said and did on tape, because it isn't technically 'bunk' to begin with. 'Bunk' has to be false to be 'de-bunked'. He did it, and he was proud he did it. It is there for all to see. Somebody may just play it again, but of course, trump followers won't be able to see what is clear to everyone else.

Oh gawd, I'd forgotten about Amin... he was the same combination of pathetic clown and evil dictator that trump would be. You are on spot with that!

Didn't he also wear a lot of different 'uniforms', each more grandiose than the last? Or was that another banana republic type dictator? Since trump wears such untailored, messy suits, I wonder if/when he will start wearing uniforms? Maybe that is what he's saving up his RNC shopping trip dollars for? I'm sure the RNC will get their money's worth from it, just like they did with palin.

^^^^Thanks for this, Kitty! You can count me in as a college educated woman of Hispanic descent who voted for Trump on Super Tuesday and will once again vote for him come November
