If nothing else, this presidency will be an excellent experiment in perception.
"It amazes me how" Why?

How old are you?

The same thing has been going as far back as I can remember and that is the Kennedy admin.

A perfect example.

The dems not only Supported the actions BUT, the dem Senate Majority Leander CO-SPONSORED the bill.

In fact, he could have KILLED the bill they way ole' harry reid killed so many bills.

And the House Majority Leader co-sponsored the bill.

ALL the top dems voted FOR the bill but, as you see today's dems will NOT take any responsibility for their leaders action and try to blame it ALL on W. Bush.

Pardon my cynicism.

It was a House Resolution, so the Senate Majority Leader could not have co-sponsored the bill that passed.

And the majority of Democrats in the House voted against the resolution.

The majority of Democrats in the Senate did vote for the bill's passage, but it was 29 Yeas versus 21 Nays so pretty close.

and yet the interview was the segment of the night as presenter after presenter showed Trump stumbling like a fool and accusing the author of "groveling" when he lacked any real valid or adult response.


That interview played everywhere, well I don't know about Fox, they most likely just played a little bit where trump was bragging about his hands, deal making or his crowd size. (what is it about trump and size? does he disappoint?)

I have to say even though I didn't vote for either major party candidate, now I see how Trump won the presidency in an electoral vote landslide.

He has perfect communication skills and is one of the best persuaders in all the land.

I was loving Trump's world class communication skills, while listening to ABC liberal David Muir asking question after question and time after time Trump had a brilliant answer. Muir sounded like a college level interviewer at best.

Muir kept trying to entrap Trump an Trump kept refusing to be entrapped.

Every time I have my doubts on Trump, I see his amazing interviews and now see why he is the President of the United States.
And what his magic boils down to is so simple.......honesty and guts.

You'd think it would have been done long ago. And yes, it no doubt has been, but I'm talking about our lifetimes here. No one else has had the guts, the confidence, the style, to pull it off. He is perfect for our time and comes to office just in time. We were circling the drain.

Where were all the left media when Hilary was proven to be a liar by Comey and she went everywhere saying how the FBI said she was truthful?


The left might have mentioned it for 1 minute then went back to Trump bashing for 1 hour.


You wonder why Trump call all these people dishonest.


When their candidate was getting hammered for lying to the FBI, they were more concerned about whose p*ssy Trump grabbed while people died at Benghazi.


You still wondering why he got elected?

If Trump's fervent supporters couldn't understand Obama's speeches because they had words which contained more than 5 letters or 2 syllables then perhaps my wife has been right all along. I credit the average American with more intelligence than they deserve. However, I still like to think that many voted for him out of sheer frustration rather than blind belief in his rabid nationalism.

Clearly, our new POSIC has never had to learn how to speak to people, but to his credit, he never needed to. His money always spoke for him.

I was and still am to some extent, trying to keep an open mind about Trump's brave new world but every time he opens his mouth or posts on Twitter, it gets harder and harder.
