Yeah much better to have a globalist. We've had these types for a long time now and has your life progressed the way you hoped? Cost of living cheap, education available, plenty of good jobs? Men/women dynamic enjoyable and fun to pursue or is it better now, and future times, to ask some fat dumb person who dislikes you permission to act like a polite butler?

Best to join the new grunge punk-rock of walking away from this globalist/collectivist crap--the counterculture of some type of new conservatism. I've always like exisitng in the counterculture, much cooler and those in it better lookin'.

I agree.

I did not vote for Trump. But, I am glad that Hillary did not get elected.

As long as Trump appoints conservative jurists who lean philosophically to Constitutional Originalism, I am satisfied.

He is certainly unorthodox. But, the beauty of our system, which seems lost on so many of those who dislike Trump, is that our Constitution contains and prescribes certain restrictions on the authority of POTUS and the entire federal government. If you dislike Trump, you can start advocating a return to originalist ideas of Constitutional restrictions and you can vote against him in the next election. If Trump runs and wins the next election, he will be gone in less than 8 years.

The trump kids and their families have paid dearly including the 10 year old barron with unrelenting, personal, vicious attacks from the leftist mob due to trump's pursuit and attainment of public office. A normal person wouldn't put family through that abuse to be a public servant.

edited to add, i think obama is a bigger narcissist. He flies around on a personal jet with over a dozen car entourage while preaching about the dire problem of climate change and garners 10s of millions in book deals and speaking fees while previously having admonished others for having "enough" money. Trump has never denied who he is. Obama is a hypocrite and narcissist.

Just to share an example of what Trump does when speaking during the Lester Holt interview, when pausing in the the midst of a sentence, closes lips, snorts, then continues his thought. He does so several times.

I think it is strange and is was first witnessed when he did so during debates, last year. Some had suggested different reasons, but I feel it is due to a nervous reaction. You just do not see people doing this. You may want to see some other interview clips since he does this often in this sort of setting, and I have wondered why. (He does not do so when at a rally and just yelling to his fans, which is different as he is "in his element").

The last time I checked the constitution, the president didn't "run the country."
He's not the leader, but the highest ranking public SERVANT, delegated power to execute laws enacted by CONGRESS. And nothing more.
. . .
Has anyone objected to his execution of enacted laws?

If he had not caused such unnecessary distractions for his Conservative opponents, then Hillary, being diverted by defending, discussing or reacting to things he said rather than remaining focused.....we would not even be discussing this right now.
He (Trump) was a giant troublemaker?
No.
I would say the media was the GIANT troublemaker.

And if Hillary got distracted from Trump like you say and that caused her to loose.
Well then I imagine being President has alot of distractions, so that just proves she shouldn't of been President.

Sadly there are millions of delusional Americans that voted for him and likely still think he is fit to run the country. There were enough of them strategically located to win the electoral college. They have much damaged this nationand its institutions but thankfully are a minority that is shrinking.

Lightbulb Another week, another bunch of weirdness. Does anyone really think that Trump is fit to run a country?

Clearly, anyone with even a semi-rational mind sees it.

But here's the thing:

To the GOP, it doesn't matter. They'll be able to shove the worst of their corporatist, anti-middle class agenda through easily because tRump is an ignoramus who'll sign any legislation they plop down in front of him because they'll convince the fool that it'll be "another win" for him.

They know that they can continue to get away with this for awhile, because the public's memory is short and the next election is 18 months away.

Look for them to start distancing themselves from tRump by early next year, though.
