Since Trump has been in office, he has said (tweeted) quite a lot. His most recent powerful tweet:
To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!
Personally I am at odds by such a public show of power and authority. I have no problem Trump saying this to Rouhani personally, but out there for the world to see is a dangerous game to play in my opinion.
Neither
They look like something an insecure buffoon would tweet
He gets away with everything, no one can stop him. He does and says whatever he wants. We are witnessing a low point in US history and diminished status in the world. Its obvious he is the world's most hated man.
And Americans voted him in. If he gets elected to another 4 year term there can be no denying that the majority of American citizens support this behavior. God help America.
Dangerous.
Also totally hypocritical. On one hand he makes "deals" with Putin and Kim that mean nothing, on the other hand he destroys a careful step toward peace with Iran.
It doesn't make any sense except to say it's the same as everything else he does - all about his ego and being in the headlines. He is addicted to that.
Who else would tweet against Amazon - a company whose founder is the richest man in the world....from the ground up without stealing from bondholders, taxpayers, contractors, etc??? It has to gaul Trump that he has made virtually no return on his inheritance in 50 years whilst someone else started with little and now has 50X his wealth....in an honest fashion.
Basically, everything that Trump does...the truth lies in the opposite. If you take that view you will be right more than wrong.

The majority of Americans never choose a government. But Hitler took total power with about 1/3rd and Trump has more than that. So the writing is on the wall.
An uneducated and angry populace....add in the religious nuts and those who make big money from pollution, killing, more debt and deficit, etc. - and you easily get to the 40 or 45% it takes.
Then you add in a couple percent who vote against the "other" candidate....and you are there.
This is, no doubt, the worse shape we've been in since I have been alive. Nixon was a madman but looks like a sane saint compared to this admin.
Maybe so, but did we end up in a war like so many blathered about after he made the rocket man comment ? Nope.
I don't understand your point. It is said that Trump is getting angrier and angrier with Kim....
Take your neighborhood bully or a bar bully or a gang. Do they "go to war" at the first altercation? No.....it's an "odds" thing. The more he blabs and threatens, the more chance there is of something going wrong.
No one is going to claim WWIII will definitely happen. But if the odds are now 15% whereas they were 5% before, that's a big folking deal.
Also, as many have mentioned, we aren't seeing what is going on in the world. Trump (the "coalition") turned large cities in Syria into dust and rubble and killed thousands of innocents. I saw video from reporters with the cajones to go over there and interview people and show the cities - not a building standing and entire families dead.
And ISIS? Still there. They went back into Iraq and elsewhere....
Like Vietnam, we are destroying cities to save them. You can't fight thought processes...and we are instead watering them. All those families know who to blame....they don't like ISIS (they hate them) but they know whose bomb killed their kids. What do you think the next generation is going to do....revenge, of course!
He's only a "threat" to the self-appointed, self-righteous. Left-leaning elitists who think it's their right to speak for all of us -- and the insecure Absolutely Politically Correct Snowflakes who let somebody else do their thinking for them.
I didn't vote for him, strongly disagree on economic and trade issues, "support" him only because the Republicans lack the guts to tell the Religious Right where to get off and turn the reins over to the libertarian wing -- and with one or two exceptions, the Democrats have absolutely no concept of the point that economic and social freedoms are indivisible, and in the end, any attempt to tamper with the markets is self-defeating (but try to tell that to their core clientele).
So you kiddies over there in the Big Playpen can keep on ranting and spewing as much as you like; the only real danger (and let's take note that Bill Maher and a few more of the real traitors are hoping for it) is that a total economic collapse would trigger a leftward shift similar to 1930-1932, whereupon you would try to lead a lynch mob of your clientele of simpletons.
But if the results of 2016, are any indication, there are plenty of us out here who endure in silence, and can see beyond the hype and lies when it really counts.
