I did. Yet you keep arguing that Mika & Trump should be treated differently for behavior that you describe as "indefensible". The only difference between the two is that Mika started it. If she had not, then Trump would have paid her no mind.

And there in lies the irony. You have been talking about MSNBC all day. Good day for Mika too.

The expectation of the President of the United States is that the person elected to hold that office can act with a certain degree of class.

Instead we have a man child acting like a dog.

It doesn't matter what the other did or said. This isn't the kindergarten playground. Show some respect for your country and stop apologizing for completely unacceptable, immature behavior by the "leader of the free world".

It's not worth the effort my friend, people wearing blinders will never see it any other way. They have already pledge their allegiance to this man, and he is the absolutely the best thing that ever happen to them. Don't waste too much of your time trying to tell them otherwise.

The American's who voted for Trump disagree with you. They are tired of a President who walks lockstep with the absolutely corrupt and lying MSM elite. And thankfully Trump isn't playing that game.

He doesn't play their game, isn't afraid of them, and they can't stand it because they have lost control of the message.

No, only the hardcore cultists think like this. Mainstream Americans who voted for Trump can't stand his idiotic, lying tweets.

No, he's VERY afraid of them; which is why he watches them religiously, and is so angry when he's criticized. He DESPERATELY craves adulation, and can't stand when he's called out.

Are you guys talking about Russia today?

Mission accomplished.
You know, we were talking about healthcare yesterday and the day before that before this tweet. So, no, we're not talking about Russia or healthcare - we're talking about dumb tweets. The people who were talking about Russia obsessively still are, of course.

I agree with this.

And anyway, does this new moral standard mean Republicans think it was cool for Bill to screw interns in his office, since Roger Ailes was doing it? Personally I still think it was shameful but I guess I'm guilty of double standard thinking.

So, aside from Trump's absolutely lunatic cult followers like those on this board (who at this point I think are a threat to society), the entire world is disgusted with Trump's behavior and think he's an unhinged, mentally ill national security threat.

His behavior is not how you uphold the dignity of the office (as Washington told John Adams to do). And now we find out that Trump threatened Mika and Joe through his close ties to the National Enquirer. He demanded they apologize for their negative coverage of him, or he was going to publish tabloid hit pieces against them and Mika's children. And a Congressman, who was in the 20 or so person meeting with Trump over healthcare told Joe that Trump was raging over the show like crazy during the healthcare meeting, talking about blood coming out of Mika's eyes and ears. The Congressman was absolutely terrified at how unhinged he was.

What Trump did to Joe and Mika with the Enquirer is being looked into as Abuse of Power, ironically the 2nd Article of impeachment brought up against Nixon.


At this point, any single human being still defending this vile man has proven they have no morals, no integrity, no decency, no intelligence, and can't think rationally whatsoever.

The man is sick. He's one of the worst human beings on this planet, and needs to be removed from office before he destroys this country beyond repair.

Those tweets Trump sends out tell the world he has better things to do than concentrate on the many issues he SHOULD be focusing on. He is a child, a bully, and a "hater." He's thin-skinned, vindictive and unapologetic. What's his end game, anyway? Achieve the highest office in the land so he can put an international spotlight on his precious Mar-a-Lago to ensure $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ pours in for the Trump family until the end of time?

A few things I have noticed. He doesn't make meaningful eye contact with ANYONE. His vocabulary is pitiful. Whenever he's seated with a dignitary, he always looks like he's squatting on a toilet. He usually ends one of his defensive comments with a "I know it, he knows it, and everyone else knows it." He lies daily. He's also got small hands...wonder if anyone else noticed.
