Got news for you sweetheart..... you may not like him and that is your choice. BUT he does represent you.
In name only. As far as I can tell, he does not represent my values or interests in any way whatsoever.

I am not ashamed of being an American, though, because a decisive majority of Americans did not vote for this ignoramus and the despicable characters that surround him. We fell victim to an archaic and undemocratic system of elections and that is the one reason I am not disgusted with my American citizenship. I take comfort in knowing that Most of my fellow citizens are better than this.

I think there is still hope for this country but it will not shine until the dark underbelly, known as "Trump's base", is denounced on every street and in every corner, denounced loudly and clearly. Every child in every school must be taught how this ignorant and hateful movement came about and what the fallacies in its thinking are. That must be taught like we teach basic English or Math. I know it will happen and that knowledge keeps me inspired. Germany did it, Italy did it, Spain did it and so shall we.

Let all of us who still remember the words "decency", "humanity" and "knowledge" do everything within our ability to peacefully un-elect all members of Trump's party and place it in the trash bin of history where it duly belongs! If we don't do it, then who will?

It's elitist crap like this that got Trump elected.

Are your interests served by having energy and automobile costs raised to astronomical levels for a minuscule lowering in the rate of increase of temperatures, in a best case scenario? Or giving the U.S. more company in the nuclear club?

Don't shoot the messenger!

"Doing fine?" That notion is something like asking people on the Titanic not to pay attention to the water rising on the deck because the ship is "doing fine."

Blaming the media is also like blaming the sinking ship on the water...

Does one need to go elsewhere simply because they think there are better ways to do things in America or that people like Trump should not be POTUS? "Is Trump perfect?" Are you trying to be funny or just what message do you think YOU are sending? Sounds to me like you and many Trump supporters are asking we all drop our standards and expectations to record low levels, instigate change for the sake of change even if lead by someone promoting backward thinking, and let's all just close our eyes to what's wrong with this picture...

Oh HELL no!

ok, instead of asking if Trump's perfect, is anyone perfect, hell no.

you don't seem to understand, no let me say, You refuse to understand, we didn't lower our standards by any means.

What you refuse to listen to are people who have known Trump and all the good he has done for others....and he has....

Is he a blow hard, yes, however, any one of us here could be a blow hard....and I'm not asking you to do anything...I'm asking you to investigate and educate your self on what Trump has done already....he has not done anything to hurt anyone, he is simply trying to bring our country back on track and re-instate the laws we already have on our books. People are sick and dog dead tires of illegals not only coming to this country but bringing in crime and drugs. Yes, there are good people, but in order to gain from all of this, we have to follow our laws, and leave a certain amount of people in, not open the doors wide to anyone...you can't do that and maintain law.

People are very happy with their 401(k)'s. It's been up for a whole year now, that is unheard of.

Trump imposes federal changes, and will continue to do so, it's the liberals that keep getting in his way.
He is the very first president to really do what he promised us he'd do....period.
That no one can deny....

Was Obama a blow hard, yes, a very sneaky cunning and charasmatic blow hard...and he did it with class, but lied time and again.

Liberals refuse to do their homework, they listen to the media and gain all their perspectives from them, and the media tells you only what they want you to believe, which isn't the truth. If Trump were a liberal, you guys would be drewling all over him, like you did Obama.

you back corruption....excuse breaking the laws...and think it's ok to tell people how to think and feel.

And yet, you refuse to study what is really going on, and parrot how terrible Trump is....

yes, he's no picnic, what President, was.

Kennedy was a womanizer, Clinton was a womanizer....what has Trump done, nothing but vocalize things which he felt....

CNN just put out another report that Trump called certain African Nations **** hole countries....Well they are...period. Where is all the money we gave to Haiti? He wasn't putting down the people, he was putting down how corrupt these countries are....oh, have you heard, Africa still leads in HIV and rapes, murders, etc. Here read this

then come back and tell me, these aren't **** hole nations....
https://www.quora.com/Why-are-almost...s-in-the-world

just as ours is becoming.

oh, and if they weren't **** hole countries, people wouldn't be trying to leave all the time and come here....

Where was this media when Obama was carte blanche freeing Terrorists who returned to kill us, Invading/destroying countries, trying to bring in 100,000s of unvetted Syrians refugees after he destabilize thier country? Where were they when he was calling Terrorist attacks such as Ft. Hood "work place violence" when the killer was screaming "Alah Akbar" and admitted to it as a Terrorist attack?
