I wholeheartedly agree. In that he is consistent.

Trump himself hasn't been either. His election, however - or more accurately his defeat of the "unbeatable" Hillary Clinton - was divisive. Mainly because the left is still trying to figure out what happened and throwing a massive temper tantrum.

Sort of understandable, but the entity that they should really be mad at is mainstream media for lying to them. The left got bamboozled by the news outlets and pundits, and decided to take their anger out on Trump.

He is not dividing nor uniting, but some of the RINO Republicans as well as the Democrats are doing all they can to divide. Trump is all alone, since a lot of Republicans and all Democrats in Congress don't want him in power.

I say dividing but I don't necessarily mean it in a bad way..... IMO he's more bringing to light the divisions that were already there and now we're forced to talk about them out in the open. I'm not his biggest fan but I think the dialogue (sometimes bickering) is productive.

...And this, this is what Trump has wrought. The only problem with empowerment through opposition..is what happens when you win....or lose. Trump won..and so did his followers. Everybody was happy. But Trump does not know how to govern--and his followers..everyday they think they see the light at the end of the tunnel--but more and more of them, are seeing that the light..is a train.

Trump isn't into identity politics.
The Democrats are all about identity politics. They are the divisive party and will continue to be it seems.

Where did I mention fake news? What I said was that the MSM flat out lied to the American public about the chances of Trump winning. It wasn't spin, it wasn't selective reporting, it was lies. The left bought it, and got flattened on election night.

Not that I watch any of the MSM outlets anyway, but if I did and I were a Democrat I'd be calling for every pundit and predictor to be fired. The only ones who I didn't hear calling it a sure win for Hillary was NPR.

That person also blamed everyone else ...
