His marketing expertise is being called into play.

He has aligned himself with white supremacists.

As long as it was bashing Mexicans and Muslims all was well. But after Charlottesville, might be a more difficult sell.

And Trumplings slurp it right down like it was ice cream.

This nattering about "enemies" holding him back is just BS.

Where is the better health care bill? The infrastructure bill? The balanced budget?

"Almost starting numerous wars?" What "wars" has he "almost started?" Are you really that ignorant? Have you been asleep for the last 8, 16, or 24 years? What Trump is dealing with today is not something that just happened in the last 7 months, but has been allowed to grow and fester under the last three administrations, and it was Bill Clinton that gave the North Korean's nuclear capability.

Trump had nothing to do with any of these, except for the International Relations grade, in which we are doing way worse than B-. (F- is more like it). You don't get much worse than alienating our strongest allies and threatening nuclear war with an already trigger happy NK.

What grade do you get for actually starting wars?

Are you old enough to understand how unheard of Trump's behavior is, announcing a re-election campaign after barely taking office, spending time going to self-aggrandizing rallies, forcing staff to praise him, receiving daily folders of clippings telling him how great he is? This is totally bizarre behavior.

Oh, and even if you are very young, you should be smart enough not to rely on an advertisement for a rational assessment of a candidate. Perhaps you should start reading one of the major newspapers; your opinion might change quite quickly.
Then be terrified and find your mommy's apron to cling to.

True. To many Americans, it's still OK to hate on people with brown skin who aren't like the majority, even if they aren't consciously aware of that belief. But when white people and cops are injured/killed, they take a dim view of Trump's apathy. You'd think the guy would at least pretend to care. Endless bobble headed campaign rallies alone will not get him reelected.

We've been killing brown skinned people for the last 16 years. Where are the concerns? Do we even pretend to care? Do we not continue to vote for this?

Didn't he get all that taken care of back on Jan 20th like he kept promising to?

It's so entertaining.

And they say there is grade inflation in the Ivy League--education researchers need to turn to conservative approval ratings.
