At Trump's ridiculous "rally", he's attacking protesters, telling them to go back to mommy and they have a weak voice (ironic considering how soft spoken Kushner is).
He also said he's the most presidential of anyone in history except Lincoln.
Why is it ok for a 71 year old leader of the US to behave like this? When did the high school bully mentality become the moral, appropriate way to conduct oneself?
Trump knows exactly how to keep his followers loyal - it is actually simple. Throw them a bone or two occasionally and this is all that is needed. For example in last few weeks things went bad for him so this week he started criticizing Sessions for not going after Hillary and lock her up. After seeing this bone his followers are again at the top. He did the same a while back with travel ban - whether it does something or not doesn't really matter; what matter most is that it was exactly the red meat that was needed back then. As they were fooled by his campaign he knows that is a piece of real bone too. So if nothing works he goes out for a rally; blame Hillary and Obama. This works too. He bullies naturally and that is effective as his followers think that's how you get the work done so that works in his favor as well.
As nasty as Trump was during the election, he said he would moderate if he won. That definitely never happened and his supporters love it. So when a Democratic president is elected, it's possible it will escalate to the point where there even more hate everywhere than now. It's political war without the nuclear weapons but almost as destructive in the long term.
Its quite obvious America is being torn apart with hate and trump and his bumpkins are fomenting that condition.Listen to anyone of a dozen AM talk radio shows today and you'll soon notice how the hate is generated, the basic content being hate Democrats,hate Liberals, hate minorities,hate women, hate Obama/Clinton and the ACA etc.
Trump is playing everyone with the way he's acting. It's getting attention. Not in the best way, but he doesn't really care. He likes to distract while other things happen behind the scenes.
I definitely don't believe in the "Muy Russia" crap at all, but, insulting the MSM and Rosie O'Donnell and some random TV show hosts doesn't bother me the bit. We all knew the kinda dude Trump was years ago, so people shouldn't be surprised.
As long as no wars are starting or it's causing any real issues other than MSM freaking out, it doesn't bother me. Fix the economy, fix Obamacare, and keep us safe, and I'm good.
Some people believe in taking the high road! Apparently, not Trump supporters though.
Remember that the low road leads directly to the swamp!
The Trump cult has proven they have absolutely no morals, so it's not surprising they advocate bullying. Hell is going to need to make more space for all evil people supporting Trump.
Of course not. People knew Crooked Trump was childish and a bully before he even thought of running for president (hint...Rosie O'Donnell) but they voted for him anyway. Oh well.

Certainly he's trolling his rapt audience and they buy it hook, line and sinker.

Well, his new Communications Director "Mooch" must be easily offended because he called Trump a bully before he jumped aboard the Trump Train.

We are in very dangerous and divided times and it probably will get worse and may never get better.
I don't understand what rural voters see in him. He represents really NOTHING that they claim to stand for.
I'm ready to split off into blue state/red state.
