I have heard "He's not my President" in reference to Trump from friends, clients, online, even my mother. I was speaking with my Mom about this last night.

It doesn't matter that you didn't vote for Trump. It doesn't matter if you despise Trump. It doesn't matter if you fear for the future because of Trump. As far as I'm concerned it's a plain vanilla straight forward fact that Donald Trump IS YOUR president, the POTUS of every citizen in this country. I didn't vote for Trump, but he is MY President.

And they wonder how they lost the election!

Hint. Acting like little spoiled brats who didn't get their way, is NOT going to get any of those 900 lost seats back.

Suck it up, grow up.

We survived 8 years if Clinton and Obama, you can survive a Trump Presidency!

It's the 12 year old mentality. It makes zero difference that they say it, but for some reason it makes them feel better, as incorrect as it is.

It's perfectly fine not to respect him, to hate him, to think he's an idiot, whatever.

But I still don't understand how he's not your president. Obama gave his exit speech, and Trump will soon be inaugurated as POTUS. That makes him president. If you live in the U.S. and are a citizen, then by fact he is your president, like it or not. SO again, I don't understand what "He's not my president" means. You can say anything else about him, but the fact is he is the president, and mine as a citizen.

"He is not My President" Can Mean that if He calls me to war I would not Support him and I would not enroll. If he calls me to volunteer in something I will Not. if he sends messages to the Nation I will ignore him. If I can do whatever to avoid paying taxes I will do.

Losing mentalities like this are exactly why America is turning on the Democratic party, most of us are better than this.

Cry cry cry me a river.

So, come January 20, who exactly do you think will be YOUR president?

Oh please. The right constantly trashed those two at every opportunity. Spoiled brats could certainly apply to the Trump Cult as well as they screamed for a birth certficate, then crawled under the bed on the issue once it was produced. The only reason they did not say "he's not our President" about Obama is they didn't think of the phrase soon enough. But it's clearly how they felt.


So since your group did not accept or respect the previous President why in the world would we "suck it up" and support your choice?

A lot of right wingers were saying this about Oboma over the last 8 years. It's nothing new.

It means they've either renounced their U.S. citizenship (doubtful) or they denying reality (likely).
