He's addicted to his Pride, Ego and Arrogance, including his narcissistic tweets. Probably will be his downfall. Pride goeth before a fall.

You do know that tanning can be an addiction?

Sad that no one is interested in more hope and change from a president who still lives in yesterday.
I'm not sure I understand you. Presidents are supposed to speak of their plans, their policies, and their achievements. Obama, like all presidents, did so. He did not, however, refer to himself by name (as Trump does), brag incessantly (as Trump does), or lie incessantly (as Trump does; like when he claimed to be the first Rep to win Wisconsin since 1952 - and he KEPT ON saying it even after he'd been corrected).

I think you will find, if you research it, that no one - at least no one credible - called Obama a narcissist, and that this only comes out now, after the fact, because people, rightly, use that term for Trump. He was indeed a smoker (how flamingly biased of you to term him an "addict") but I believe he stopped years ago.

And of course, any rational person knows that he did not wish to speak out against a sitting president, since it's against tradition, but Trump's path is so alarming that he felt obliged to do so. When he speaks, it's in terms of America's basic ideals and protocols.

But how terribly hypocritical of you to be disdaining Obama for breaking tradition to speak out - usually not even accusing Trump directly - yet you appear to to be bothered by all of Trump's flagrant breaks with tradition, NONE of which are for the good of the country, such as refusing to release his tax returns, refusing to cut ties with his private businesses, refusing to respect the emoluments clause, traipsing all over doing self-aggrandizing campaign rallies, meeting in secret with an enemy foreign power, flagrant nepotism, etc.

For Whom the Trump Trolls
By Maureen Dowd

And yet, in a strange twist, Trump has ended up an addict.

[Jaron] Lanier, who met Trump a couple of times back in the real estate developer’s New York heyday, thinks the president’s addiction to tweeting is rewiring his brain in a negative way.,, Like other “behavior modification empires,” as Lanier calls social media sites, Twitter offers positive reinforcement for negativity.

"Twitter addicts take on this kind of nervous, paranoid, cranky quality, sort of itching for a fight,” Lanier said in an interview.

Shhh don't tell the Dems. this might be all they need..
.....and the independents and all clear thinking people. Trump needs to go. Period. Why he is still wandering around the white house and the country on behalf of himself, is beyond me. He does not care a rat's fanny about our country or anything else but poor Donnie. Poor wittle Donnie, take your toys and go home, please!!!!! All, JMO.

Well, I try to keep up on news, as all citizens should, and unfortunately Trump and his misdeeds dominate the news. It's a pity if you consider that being informed is deranged.

What does it make the people who obsess over Trump Tweeting, breathing, having hair, eating ice cream, eating McDonald's, liking gold decor, being wealthy, reaching back for Melania's hand?



The radicals are on their last spiral into the point of no return. You all do know that he is likely laughing at you?

If you will try a legitimate news source, you might have something to report that actually has occurred.
Being informed of vast amounts of fake news reports is an indication of TDS.

Trump uses Twitter because it's the newest and most popular form of communication AND he can get his words out unfiltered (whether you like that or not) by the media who choose what words to print and how to spin it.

It's really not rocket science people, and pretending you know what someone is thinking makes you look silly. Didn't your mom's teach you that?
