So you don't listen to and consider other viewpoints if they don't agree with your way of thinking? You do realize this is the whole reason we have an electoral college and why Trump won right?

There is plenty to read about Steve Bannon on the internet. He is an Ultra right wing nationalist and a supporter of the Alt-right. His views are very troubling, especially since he has so much influence with Trump.

Trump does not compare with other presidents so stop doing that because it doesn't make you look good. Obama vs. Bush, Clinton vs Reagan etc. are apples to apples comparisons. Trump to any of them is apples to oranges.

Neither Bush president, nor Reagan, nor Carter, nor Obama or Clinton ever campaigned on things like suggesting a protester would be carried out on a stretcher. That's a highly inflammatory thing to say at a rally. Telling security to "get 'em outta here" to those who protested and opposed him. Suggesting that he was going to lock up his political opponent, making fun of a disabled reporter. I challenge you to find ANY former president who did any of those things as a candidate or while in office. These are some of the reasons people react to Trump the way they do. How do you not see that??? If after being armed with this information and comparing and contrasting you still don't get it? You're a big part of the problem.
it is not protesting to heckle somebody during a speech. that's heckling. those protesters were often being violent and obviously disrupting the event. they were being inflammatory. there's no right to interrupt events. you act like they are victims.

trump never mocked a disabled person. he did that same impersonation for Ted Cruz and other people that don't have any disability. that's his standard impersonation of people.

Yes, women are marching today, but only those who agree with the liberal left are allowed. You did know the organizers dropped one women's group from sponsoring and asked them not to attend purely because the group was pro-life right? Pretty intolerant don't you think? I guess those women aren't worthy to march in support of the women's rights they believe in because there is ONE area they don't believe in.

Trump is "draining the swamp" of alligators and filling it with billionaire crocodiles.

WRONG. Trump was mocking a disabled reporter. He did not make the same gestures about Cruz or anyone else. Trump is a jerk, plain and simple.

i've seen video of him making same gestures to impersonate other people.

moreover, that reporter disability involves a rigidity of his limbs. he can't flap his arms around like Trump did.

what getts covered up is that reporter lied about his own post 9-11 report that Trump cited. the reporter said there were reports of Muslims celebrating on rooftops after 9-11, but once Trump cited it, he tried to downplay it. Trump was making fun of him for backtracking off his own report and the impersonation was of the reporter groveling.

you and other people are just trying to smear Trump with this because you diagree with him on politics.

Did you not see him mock Ted Cruz the EXACT same way??? I'm not saying I agree with his mocking because it was certainly stupid and childish along with many other things he's said and done but lets call it what it is and stop fabricating it to fit the left wing narrative.
