  • She's the anchor on a major News Network who get's paid millions of dollars/year. You don't expect the same standards of behavior?
or
  • Do you agree that MSNBC is nothing more than a trash channel that nobody should pay mind to?
Your choice.

This episode is just another reminder that Trump has no self control. He is thin skinned and mentally unstable. These traits make him a danger not only to the US but the entire world.

That's just me.
Ahh. So MSNBC is nothing but a trash channel with anchors with all the bad attributes that you say about Trump. i.e. It's not worth watching.

You can't have it both ways.

So according to you, you watch a news channel with anchors who have "no self control", are "thin skinned" & "mentally unstable".

Why would you do this?

She's a morning tv talk show. You seem to give those morning talk show hosts more prestige or status than most of us.

And that may be why we see things differently.

I hold the President to a higher standard.

The Presidents behaviour should be held to the highest standards. If a child tweeted what Trump tweeted yesterday you would confiscate their phone and discipline them. Tweeting out childlike comments about some cable news host when you are supposed to he focussed on healthcare and national security is wholly inappropriate for a President. It's embarassing and the whole world is watching. The whole world is not watching Mikas morning coffee show.
If you don't care that the President has turned America into an international laughing stock, well you should.

It's hilarious the sheer volume of posts that poster has today. You can literally see the desperate deflection steaming off of each one. Poor thing.

Mica wasn't elected the president of the United States. She isn't (and shouldn't be) held to the same standard as a person who is supposed represent our country with a certain level of decorum. Do you think Mr. and Mrs. Obama didn't want to lash out at all the nasty things that were said about them on a daily level? They didn't. That was befitting of the high offices they held. Trump is degrading the office of the presidency with his tweeter account. He sabotages himself which is earning him the very scorn he rallies against.

this is a good point.

But it does bring the office of the Presidency down to a message board standard again.

It is clear you don't see a difference in standard. And guess what -- that's not right or wrong....it's your personal opinion/approach.

I can't speak for others here, but I defintely would hold the office of the President of the USA to a higher standard than a morning tv talk show and definitely higher than a message board.

The bar is so low for Trump that Larry Flynt can now be considered presidential material.
