Doesn't mean you have to like him, heck I don't, but the office of the POTUS is the most powerful office in the world, and as an American citizen it will suit you well to recognize that if you are ever unlucky enough to be in a compromised situation. Its an office, not a person, but go ahead and play the 4 year old stomp your feet and hold your breath game until you are blue game if it makes you feel better.

Logic is pretty simple here, try and distance your political biases and live in the world of reality. Go vote for someone else in 2020, god knows I will and I didn't vote for him in 2016, but guess what? Hes just as much my president as he is your president. So was Obama, so was Bush, so was Clinton, So was Bush....
You want to come back and try again, or are you just that naive ...

Again, I didn't vote for him, but he is my POTUS, but more importantly, what is mine is the Constitution, and our system of checks and balances that far outweigh any one individual that occupies the White House for a few years. I fully embrace the POTUS, SCOTUS, Constitution, House, Congress...whatever it is, you name it. I'm all for smaller government and limited government intervention, but at the core its all working as designed and he IS your president, sorry, but not really.

"Under President Donald Trump's first travel ban, immigration officials stopped almost 2,000 people in nine days in airports, at border crossings and even on boats across the country. The majority of the people stopped were documented United States residents."
________
He is helping people find their way .... Home.
"Plaintiffs assert that by singling out nationals from the six predominantly Muslim countries, the Executive Order causes harm by stigmatizing not only immigrants and refugees, but also Muslim citizens of the United States. Plaintiffs point to public statements by the President and his advisors regarding the implementation of a "Muslim ban," which Plaintiffs contend is the tacit and illegitimate motivation underlying the Executive Order."
— Excerpt from restraining order on second travel ban
The naive part is believing the only people this ban effects are immigrants which is bad enough in itself, but it also effects those with Muslim last names that are u.s. citizens ...
Seacove - I can't rep you again but wish I could. This and the other post (on Hillary Clinton's looks) make me wonder if a woman, no matter how smart or how hard she works, will ever be allowed to be president. It seems we are still judged first on being youthful, thin, and "pretty" with a whole different standard for male candidates. And, BTW, Donald Trump will never be my president either. He has no moral compass and stands for nothing, except himself. My WWII Purple Heart Dad would be so upset to see what this country has become.
My WWII double Purple Heart Dad that survived Omaha Beach and a German POW camp would be so happy with what this country has become.
My not voting for Hitlary had zero to do with how she looked....she is an evil woman.
Why don't we all band together and see to it that Sara Palin is elected in 2024 after Trump finishes his 8 years in the name of diversity.

So your reply is to repost the same thing again that I already refuted? Childish and intentionally disingenuous at best. I should have known better. Like I said though, 1st travel ban is not where we are anymore, it was fought against, revised, and later upheld. Again, this is why although I don't support him, I have the adult capacity to acknowledge him as my POTUS, and every other part of this country as "mine" since its working as intended with its check, balances, and legal system.

So is it fake news that u.s. citizens are being hassled at the airports and boarder crossings? You haven't refuted anything.
btw: when Donald Trump bought rent controlled apartments, he would harass the tenants trying to force them to move. He is using the same tactics to those with 'other' sounding last names, regardless of whether or not they are u.s. citizens or not. It's all the same to him ... prop him up and enjoy. For me he leaves a bad taste in my mouth ... always did.
