Typical Loonies obsessed with words, feelings, appearances, manners. Trump is a man of action. He just met another prisoner released from a foreign prison, that missionary from Utah who was held for two years in Venezuela. Keep checking the youtube White House channel to see the video when it's posted. Very emotional. Trump has gotten seventeen prisoners released, most of whom were rotting in jail when Obama was president.
....the fact that he is a liar and a crook means nothing to his supporters.
Why should it? It didn't mean anything to Bill Clinton's supporters. Neither did multiple accusations of sexual impropriety.
Bill Clinton set the precedent for all kinds of sexual impropriety in the Oval Office, just as B.O. set the precedent for bypassing Congress with his "phone and pen".
Jesus... I know you deplorables struggle badly to think of original things to say on your own, but if you're going to just mindlessly parrot things that other people said and that sounded brilliant to you, could you maybe just have someone more clever than this tell you what to say? Because that's just a disgustingly stupid argument.
"We voted for Trump because you were rude to us." When did they give 5-year olds the right to vote?
This is actually an article about language, but it begins with Trump. It highlights his limited vocabulary, his tendency to repeat himself, and his inflated language.
What Separates Ordinary Bad News From True ‘Disaster’?
By Elisa Gabbert
The phrase “I do,” in the context of a marriage ceremony, is what linguists call a “performative utterance” — words that don’t simply mean or imply but actually enact a change. There are some words powerful enough that, when a president utters them, we might think they amount to a performative utterance, too: For the chief executive to call something a “disaster” in public, for instance, might suggest that a formal disaster declaration will follow.
Except lately. During the Oct. 9, 2016, presidential debate, the candidate Donald Trump said “disaster” 17 times. The 17 things that Trump characterized as disasters were, in order: inner cities, Obamacare, single-payer health care plans, Obamacare, Obamacare, Iraq, taxes, Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton again, Libya, Hillary Clinton’s foreign-policy record, Aleppo, Nafta, Nafta, education, Hillary Clinton’s political performance in upstate New York and jobs.
Since that night, he has used the word “disaster” on Twitter with slightly less frequency — just 31 times. Last year there was a record-breaking pileup of multibillion-dollar “megadisasters,” including wildfires, tornadoes and flooding, but only three of the president’s tweets referred to such events. “Am leaving now for Florida to see our GREAT first responders and to thank the U.S. Coast Guard, FEMA etc.,” he wrote in one, after Hurricane Irma. “A real disaster, much work to do!” The oddly cheerful tone of this tweet aside, the word “real” was an interesting addition, a seeming acknowledgment of the distance between a true disaster and Trump’s preferred, mostly rhetorical usage, which designates its recipient as a laughable mess, a high-profile embarrassment.
What those, like you, suffering from TDS can't understand is that the crap you come up with is stuff that doesn't matter....Trump was elected for the policies he's implementing and he's doing a brilliant job doing so.
I'm guessing you have never worked a job that involved speaking to people in a boardroom setting
OMG,and neither has that M-O-R-O-N Trump! He has never had a publicly traded business, because he is too freaking stupid to be a CEO!
No board members would ever put up with his IDIOCY! He only has privately held businesses, many of which have failed. It is debatable if he has EVER made a billion in his life!

Do you spend all your time on the net, researching negative comments and articles about Trump? So he doesn't have a great speaking ability, so what? I think we all know his vocabulary isn't his strong point.
and for anyone who doesn't think he is a billionaire anymore, where would you get such an idea and why?
