Trump's tweets reveal his character. Believe him.

This crap is baked in and he's not going to change.

Yes, and that's the reason it's troubling that there are people in America who still make excuses for him, or have expectations he can become a respectable CIC. I'm convinced he cannot learn. For too long, he has lived in a narrow reality-show world. Pretty low standards for what was once a "great" country, until someone thought about health "care" here.

He shows NO sign of having been well-raised or educated -- formally or not -- and his most salient goal is to draw attention to himself via a social network on the internet.

If he read, he might be reasonably fluent in the English language. Advisors supposedly have cautioned him about his misuse of Twitter. Can't they insist he spend half an hour a day being tutored in elementary grammar? They could use his hours on TV and the internet as a reward. More likely they also believe it's pointless to try for even a superficial improvement.

But there will always be those who believe that's asking too much, that this is the most we dare expect.


God help people too young to have had any other role model.

Wow! You really had to dig for that one, didn't you? Did Obama ever insult an individual because they reported that he'd made a fool of himself? Did he or Michelle ever comment ONCE on all the awful things said about them on Fox news?

The truth is, regardless of how you felt about Obama or his policies, he and Michelle always conducted themselves with dignity and grace, despite all the crap that was thrown their way. The same is true of both sets of Bushes, too, for that matter. And the Clintons too. When the Hamilton cast aggravated Pence he responded like a gentleman while Trump responded like middle-schooler.

Only Trump has acted like a hormonal teenager on twitter, trying to insult people who he perceives have wronged him.

Can he use a spinner fidget with his tiny tiny hands?

Fine. But that still doesn't explain Trump supporters defending his tweet.

Yep. Imagine if a POTUS did that. Now that would be crazy.

Question to those who see nothing wrong with this, especially to the MAGA crowd:
It's unclear to me what kind of actual, constructive good Trump's attitude is supposed to accomplish. Does it actually offer economic relief to you? Or is it just a frustration release? Is it something else entirely? Just curious.

If Trump would stop trying to get the attention then they wouldn't have anything to say about him. He loves attention, of course he likes when people adorn him but if he can't get that he will take the negative.

Fiyero is not the President. He does not hold the highest position in the US government. It's what Trump says in his capacity as president that is egregious. As Republican senator Ben Sasse said, "this isn't normal."
