What have past candidates done that makes you think he isn't different/unique in this regard? Because, in his case, we have tons of examples. He tells so many lies that it's impossible to keep track, I don't see any reason why this trend won't continue when he is, in fact, in office.
He's not trying to distract from his nominations, he thinks people should be impressed by them. I'm not, but my dislike of Trump is pretty well known.

He may be doing it to distract from some of his conflicts of interest, but I'd contend that he tends to double down on anything controversial instead of hide it.

Now, as far as other politicians go, Bill Clinton dropped bombs on another country in an attempt to distract from his affair. You don't get much worse than that, do you?

Ok......but let me ask you this.

If the protesters want to burn the American flag......

Is it ok if I go ahead and burn the protesters?


Sounds fair to me!

I think if lefty loons want to burn flags they should have to do it at a Vietnam Veterans gathering first before they can do it anywhere else. That is if they are still breathing.

You articulate the essence of the Trump message, perfectly.

Trump Says Flag Burners Should Lose Citizenship or Spend a Year in Jail - ABC News
The loonly right has finally put a un-American nutjob in the White House and now they want to make free speech unlawful unless it's politically correct?!?!

Jeez, you seem to be the one who would feel more at home in China or Cuba or some other fascist state where free speech isn't tolerated. Friggen un-American Trump voters....

I think Trump is sending a very CLEAR MESSAGE. You disrespect this country and partake in anti-american activities, we cannot guarantee your safety. Sounds really good to me.

Times are a changing'....in a much different way than the overrated Bob Zimmerman from the Iron Range sang about.

It'll take some doing, but I say "give Trump a chance". He's not even in office yet.

Is this "clear message" a thinly-veiled directive to police to stand down and allow protesters to be killed by "patriots", in your view? Or is it a subtle hint that's it's for them to join in the repression?
