Those are the things that most Americans care about. The other stuff is mainly noise.
This, quite obviously, isn't true.

If most voters cared about such things, they wouldn't have voted for Trump. Trump promised change from Obama.

You're arguing that Trump won't be impeached because the Obama economy, has so far, not collapsed. Anyone who supported the Obama economy would have voted for Hillary, not Trump. Hillary promised the status quo; Trump promised radical change from the status quo. Now you're saying the status quo (so far) will save Trump.

Trump voters voted in spite of the economy. They didn't care that the economy was good. So Trump's fate won't be tied to the economy. Obviously the Republicans will impeach once Mueller wraps up (which, granted, could take years).

I'm not sure that he's smart enough to realize that.


I asked a women in another thread why she voted for him knowing how Trump tends to degrade women.


Still waiting for an answer. I'll be surprised if I get an answer.

There y'all go ... always focusing on the negative.


Wake up and realize the good he has done .... especially if you are an investor -- or just a common sense person who can see the GOOD side.


There IS a huge investigation going on relative to Pillary Hillary and the long term damage she and Slick Willy, along with their cronies, have perpetrated on this country. The list is very long of their hands in your pockets. (and, I'm an Independent who weighs both sides)


Good grief.

Most of our Founding Fathers would have been considered white supremacists by modern standards.

You can't go down this line of impeaching/removing a President just because he says things that people find controversial. That's not how our system of government works. Presidents have free speech too. People vote.
But they can be declared Unfit for Office and removed.

What good has he done? He hasn't been in office long enough to effect the stock market. The laws he has passed are do nothing laws. Are not with your post focusing on Hillary? Pot calling kettle.


Let me ask you as a women why would you vote for a sex pig as president?

Sheppard Smith is an idiot! What was "controversial" (how the Media love that word!) about anything the President said about the violence? Nothing! Anyone who thought anything he said (or didn't say) was "controversial" is also an idiot.

Follow the Dem's lead w/ the Super Delegates...that will keep guys like Trump from ever being nominated.

On what planet? The Trump cult is living in a bubble. Trump is an international joke.

BBC Anchor Katty Kay:

...“I’ve been living here 20 years and every year I try and spend time with my family back in Europe and this is the first time I’ve come back and felt America was almost being dismissed by other countries and this was before Charlottesville actually happened. There’s a sense that other countries just have to deal without America...

...America is losing it’s global leadership. The White House is losing moral authority around the world and Charlottesville doesn’t help that at all, and it’s almost an irrelevancy. This is the country with the biggest economy and biggest military in the world so they know they have to deal somehow with the United States, but countries in Europe are feeling more confident. They’re rejecting the kind of right wing extremism that we saw in Charlottesville, in elections in the Netherlands and in elections in France, they don’t want that in Europe.... ....They’re feeling economically more confident as well and they’re doing their own deals.

...They’re looking to other countries to do deals on climate change and global trade issues and if anything the Trump White House and the saga and the drama around it looks more like a freak show than anything else. And that’s kind of how America is seen at the moment. It’s incredibly depressing to come back to this country that is so dispirited and is so dismissed around the world.”...

If the rumors about Felix Sater are true the GOP may not have to lift a finger.
