Trump won because he beat the "establishment" of both the DNC & RNC.

This isn't new news.
Have you seen his little whiney baby tweets about not being protected enough? Trump wants to be lauded and adored. The End.

As much as I'm at odds with Trump I do agree with him on certain topics. Others not so much and mostly the type of crowd he dragged into all they here and gave them a voice.
Regarding him being articulate, check this video out.

A shame we couldn't get this Trump. That was a man I could have gotten behind more easily.
But alas he seem a shadow of this man.......

Trump is the result of Republicans welcoming unsavory practices and people into the fold.

Now they are paying the price.
I do think that Trump has actually brought to light.. That theGOP "Tent" who embraced the Tea Party.. and anyone who was anti-Obama in the past 8 years+ is now exposing.. THAT BIG TENT is no long viable!! The alt-Right extremes,Bannon/Info-Wars/Fox News/Breitbart has consolidated within Trump's administration. Meanwhile the GOP are NOT so enthused about alternate facts being brought up daily by Trump.. It only presents a daily exposure of an unstable, insecure, Caught up in Russian snare to corrupt Real Estate Loser being NOW with POWER is Realizing.. "Separation of Powers" and what that means!!

Having said all that~~~ It's obvious to us outsiders to see exactly what he's doing.. He and his surrogates have daily exposed to daylight just what they are trying to do ( Putin's goal) and that to destabilize what was once the "Worlds StrongestAdvocates" of freedoms and democracy... Putin is winning

IF GOP don't grow a couple~~~ Constitutional Crisis will occur.. and IF GOP Majority Congress allows it~~ Then thank the voter's for their desire to change Washington .. THEY sure have.. and as they say " Elections have consequences!!

It's only been 6 months??? Any guesses what the 2018 election result will be??

It will be very interesting indeed if circumstances lead him into a situation where he's embroiled with his son, daughter, and son-in-law, and they may be tempted to turn on each other.
it's stupid Game of Thrones.

No. Most adults learn very early that we are not to say everything we are thinking, especially not witch, moan, and complain. Trump of all people has nothing to complain about. Tweeting every single thought he has the second he thinks it is the typical reaction of a teenager, not a 71 year old man and certainly not POTUS. Blaming Republicans for Trump's amazing lack of self restraint and IQ points is miaguidee and wrong.

True, the stuff Trump tweets IS pretty amazing. I can safely say I've never seen the like before.

The question is, does it make him any friends in Congress? We already know it will be the rare congressional D that will support him on his major issues. (I'm sure he could get bipartisan support for, say, Kiss A Baby Day.) If congressional Ds won't support him, and if only a majority of Congressional Rs support him - how is he going to move any significant legislation? You can do a lot with EOs, but - there's a limit.

Nah.
He doesn't have anyone coming to his defense nor for acting. There are many dems in republican clothing.

See crony politicians will stick together they don't realise that they are cutting their own throats stalling and not coming out in support of the man. You see... it would be of great benefit for them to get with the program ESPECIALLY if they want a chance to run against him...then they can say hey, we did it your way it backfired we gave you our support. Throw it back in his face.

However, being defiant and not with his agenda shows us that Trump was right all along-swamp filled with rats.

I've done just this very same thing in the workplace. Got rid of inept management who acted as if they knew it all. Go with their flow and when it doesn't pan out, go above them.
Dems in Republicans clothing could do just that. Who's above Trump? Voters...

All they do by stalling and dragging, is show us inept elected officials who only care to remain in politics to serve their best interest And replace them when the time comes with who will stand with Trump.
At least I'm smart enough to see it that way...

Because if 2020 comes around and these clowns decide to run against him, he's got ammo against them and the dirt to bury them when they debate/campaign.
Well donny blah blah blah
Yeah and you were the ones who wanted to do _____ but couldn't under obama and you had me willing to do what was necessary and you choked. If you worked for me, you'd be fired. Is this who you want in charge folks? Ineptricans?

This is too easy...

This post is pure comedy. "Trump is wonderful." I can't stop laughing.
