Trump's excellent diplomacy and negotiating skills on display here.

He doesn't even know what he's talking about when he meets other world leaders.

This remark shows that you are in grief that a republican is president and not just because Trump is, so your thread is all about being partisan politics.

-Hillary is patently unlikeable and uncharismatic. Not only that she had serious voter turnout issues with blacks stemming from a bitter 2008 primary (where her and her supporters were called racist ironically) as well as being caught cheating Sanders.

-Hillary still could have won but the polls and constant crowing from her supporters....many of you who did this still won't accept that fact....coasted in to what she assumed was victory and also lowered turnout further because Hillary was going to win anyway.

Basically, Hillary's horrible campaign consisting of insulting instead of wooing voters and then mailing it in is more the reason Trump won than anything his team did. Trump didn't win as much as Hillary lost.
This.

Hillary Rodham Clinton is like a blood-sucking leech.

President Donald J Trump is the complete opposite of that. I could care less what the Fake Stream Media says the rest of the world says about America.

You mean you could care less about facts, events, conversations and exchanges that actually happened. You'd rather believe that Trump is best at whatever. Although he doesn't sound to swift according to the transcripts of those meetings.

Right, we need to get back to the days where America had so much respect during Obama's apology tour, right?

Why are required to agree with you and your silly premise. The left and the media are the embarrassments - not the President.

looks like the GOP has finally had enough. GOP had hoped trump would do the dirty work early 2017 -2018 get all the evil nasty stuff done and dusted and then when it is finished, and then shift blame to trump when the voters got upset at the results...

but it has not worked out. Trump has proved to be a very poor deal maker indeed. Trump is damaging the GOP brand and he maybe a real drag on those running in 2018 who have smaller margins. The GOP are very disappointed with the efficacy of the Trump administration, they expected so much more and have been greatly disappointed . It might be best for many of them to publicly rebel against trump so that they can later claim they never supported Trump at all, but were merely trying to support the party. They can say they tried, but trump was just too damaging to continue and they felt duty bound to put country ahead of party...

As such i believe this currently rebellion is just the beginning. the smart move is dump trump claim you did it for the country.

Why are you bringing up Obama and Hillary? Now there are 2 "congenital liars". Yet you were very happy when Obama was in office and you voted for Hillary...

Wow! After all this time you're still allowing Trump to live in your head---and rent free to boot. That's really sad.
