Assuming he is unable to control his destructive tendencies, I would say you are probably correct from a purely partisan left standpoint.

However I believe that chaotic narcissist type personalities are a danger in positions of extreme power for everyone that goes beyond the spats of your normal everyday left and right politics as usual.

I have to agree with this. Trump needs to stay in place at least until 2018.

Corporate whores. They generally donate to both parties during election campaigns.

A CEO's purpose is to increase the financial profits of their corporation and that corporations shareholders. And when a corporation is connected to disliked or controversial groups it risks alienating both its customers and investors. (A real CEO will run away from anything that could alienate their corporations customers or investors.)

Those are the only types that are interested in being politicians.

This might be why AT&T wants to sell CNN after it buys TimeWarner.

Complete and total failure. The people that are publicly cheering him now are David Duke and his ilk.

Wow..

Total failure of leadership. Complete, total, failure.

The things Trump was saying were disgusting.
I predict that when Trump falls, his family members will distance themselves from him.

He's already pretty much thrown Don Jr. under the bus.

What a pathetic scumbag.
