Read up on Obamas accomplishments you'll find he did more than just raise his hand once in a while.=

Oh wow, I read it and it really made me feel better about the way he attempted to ruin this country.

And that is the main issue, his lack of control. Hillary may well be the same way, but at least she can keep her "dark passenger" in check just long enough to have a debate or a press conference. Trump never stops and can't help himself. Every insult he feels he has to answer. He can't even deal with Saturday Night Live poking fun at him.

His whole life has been him talking himself up to everyone, including himself, that he is the best. He has to maintain that image no matter once and when the facade falls, he loses it and goes into childhood temper-tantrum mode.

Honestly, this will sound like a joke, but, hear me out: I think Dr. Drew should talk to him.

Why? He is a celebrity doctor and has been on television, both things Trump respects. He should seriously try to ease his way into becoming his personal physician, and slowly see if he can steer him toward having some therapy.

Trump is mental, but I don't blame you for hating Hillary. Honestly, when both hands are dipped in poo, which one do you shake?

Still, Trump is Trump, and always will be.


BTW...he sued to stop this very old documentary for being released.


This was way, WAY before he ran for office. This is him, in all his "glory." Watch it, and tell me if you regret voting for him more or less.

True. It's a disorder and the man has needed help for many years. The ego (at the center of the disorder) has prevented him from getting the help he needs. No treatment at this advanced age.

Obama served four years in the US Senate, before that he was a state senator in Illinois for eight years. He was also a senior lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School during that time teaching two or three classes in the fall and winter terms, Constitutional Law III: Equal Protection and Substantive Due Process; Voting Rights and the Democratic Process; . He graduated from Harvard Law in 1991. He ran Illinois Project Vote, a voter registration drive, for much of 1992, and then accepted a position with the Chicago firm Miner, Barnhill & Galland. The firm specialized in political and civil rights work and neighborhood economic development work.

I will leave it up to you to compare that with Trump's resume
And in all that time what of note did he accomplish other than voting "present"?

His "present" votes accounted for less than three percent of his total votes as a state senator. Got any other rightwing lies you want to throw in here?

I look back over all the other candidates, from all the other parties (and I do mean ALL, even Jill Stein, bless her heart) and I realize that none of them were so reckless.

I think any of them, no matter how qualified or not I may have felt they were, would have be preferable to Donald Trump.

The US is a country, not a company. We cannot just file bankruptcy on building a wall if we aren't coming in on time or on budget. The government cannot save money by stiffing contractors. Trump is not the CEO of the USA.

And, that is what he seems to think this job is about. He's ignoring all these briefings because he thinks he already knows better than the entire government how to be a President.

No. He does not.
Of the Republican candidates we had, I wonder why Trump made it to the top. He seemed like the least fit. His recklessness is scary. I have to consider how he will conduct himself as President. This "just wait until he's President" thing is not really something I'm into.

His reckless mouth makes me wonder if that will translate to his policy making.

One thing about Donald Trump is this. He could end up running this country like a CEO. We might end up with corporate fascism. He won't listen to anyone. Sign of a dictator in the making.

You mean like the one that's currently in office? <bold> Even his own people have said it's HIS WAY or the highway.

How about answering the question with FACTS instead of baseless insults?
What of note did he accomplish prior to being installed in the White House?

Crazy world when Obama supporters whine about Trump. They are the same just opposite ends of the spectrum.

From what I saw on today's press conference, that does not seem to be the case. He was acting like a maniac. He continued to trash our nation's intelligence agencies. He lashed out at the press. And for me, the most damaging was that he said he would not release his tax returns. He told us he would release them after his audit. Now he is saying he will not. I actually want to see them. I thought nothing of it when he said he'd release them after the audit, but now I feel fooled.

He also seemed very angry. He seems to have gone back on many of his promises. It is almost like he is working for the elite and only worried about himself.

I am still holding out hope, but did I make a major mistake voting for Trump?

P.S. I understand that living in NY, and us having the electoral college, my vote probably didn't even matter, but I voted with my heart and for what I thought was best for our country.
No, I do not regret it for one minute: I never thought he would change, you don't change someone who is 70 years old. You can try but it isn't going to happen: I do not like him as a person, I think he is thin skinned and an egotist. He will never keep his mouth shut and is lacking in class. All reasons for not voting for him, but he is bringing a fresh look to the White House and hopefully some of his ideas will become reality.

Oh come on: Obama was picked and groomed for his position from day one. He did little to prove himself. Just because wikipedia says something doesn't make it true. The democrat party and soros are responsible for his being our president, not how hard he worked. No he didn't come from a rich family like Trump but he certainly wasn't raised in poverty either and had the advantage of affirmative action.
