Pardon my cynicism.
I get that you are still bitter about Hillary's huge loss after telling us for months that she would win.

Did you even watch it? Doesn't sound like it.

Now if you want to actually address anything he said in that interview that would support your point of view, then please bring it on. I'll be glad to debate it with you.
The reasons I think he is off his rocker is because he feels the need to qualify his statements and opinions using his supposed popularity. Like, he comes off as really insecure. Its kind of like here on CD when people say they get reps and messages supporting their posts as a way to validate their opinions.

I also knew he would say he didn't see or hear the protesters outside the White House last week. He would never acknowledge those who disagree with him.

He also championed Fox News because he liked their coverage of him.

Many of his attitudes and statements during that interview gave off the air of instability and insecurity. But this JMO. YMMV

If nothing else, this presidency will be an excellent experiment in perception.
I agree, except for one small thing....It amazes me how Non-Trump people view the same thing the rest of us do, and totally see it in a different light.

We supporters of our President are looking forward to a whole new way of government, no nonsense, get-the-job-done, drain the swamp, and kick out the lazy politicians only looking out for themselves.

You have already lost the battle when it comes to 'draining the swamp' and kicking out lazy politicians. They are all still in there!


No nonsense. Huh. So far, we've seen a LOT of smoke and mirrors.

He talks like a New Yorker who knows how to communicate with the people. You think those Union leaders he met with respect Obama's eloquence? No.

Did you catch the "Sneaky Rats" comment last night? Love it. That's the way a normal New Yorker talks.

Obama talked over the people. Trump talks to the people.

The dems on here are losing their sh*t. The man is taking some tough stances already.


Trump should stop saying that he is the best or he does everything right but he has already taken more hard decisions than Obama took n 8 years.


Time to put America first and not cater what the world thinks of us. That's how we got screwed on trade for years.


Obama was status quo on practically everything.

Fox News is the only major news network that is right-leaning. Everybody else is left-leaning.

So yes, every news network except Fox is anti-Trump. That is their default.

Trump has no desire to take the media seriously.
Apparently 2/3rds of Americans don't either.
