Although I agree with not all but many of Trump’s policies and the direction of the country compared to what the democrats offer, I am extremely disappointed and disgusted with his continual juvenile insults and narcissistic behavior. It is not gender-based — he is an equal-opportunity insultor. He is just pouring gasoline on an already overheated and divided country. We need a better role model in these dark times. I am glad he is teaching the Rs to stand up to the Ds and their bullying and corruption , but he doesn’t need to do it in such a profane and juvenile way — he is turning voters off.

But I still prefer his policies over the crazy anarchist lawless race-baiting democrats, and unless he really blows it, I’ll vote for him in 2020. I am hoping the Rs can replace him with a similar-in-policy, but more mature and civil candidate for 2020.

This pretty much sums up my thoughts as well.

This may be appropriate, but is it really worth a two-column, top half, and center of page article in the national newspaper of record? The conduct may be unbecoming of a President. This was pointed out in an opinion piece in, of all places, Fox News, Trump calls Stormy Daniels 'Horseface' in a tweet – Why has this kind of insult become the new normal? But it was captioned "Opinion by Leslie Marshall | Fox News."

But was calling a large number of working-class people a "basket of deplorables" any better?
Trump is an equal opportunity troll, everyone is open to scrutiny. He doesn't discriminate. Everyone is subject to mockery. Republican. Democrat. Black. White. Man. Woman. Straight. Gay. Young. Old. He believes in equality. Everyone is equally subject to mockery/razzing.

I disagree. It isn't the office, it's the individual. It will be very easy for us to go back to some kind of civility.

Didn't Eric Holder, and Hillary Clinton just publicly state we shouldn't be civil? Actually Holder recommended violence. Why do the Democrats and Media support the violent Antifa, and BLM? Pelosi defended the violent gang, MS-13. That's all civil, huh?

The problem I have with many of his policies is he speaks as if they're in practice while the reality is many are purely theory.

In these forums I've seen some of his staunchest supporters claim he's gotten N Korea to give up their nukes when the reality is no such thing has actually occurred.

I see him as a very accomplished BS artist and at best average in getting things done. m We have yet to see the 'far better than the ACA' plan he told us time after time after time would be in place soon after he took office. And sorry but I don't see the need to offer $12B to forums hurt by his poorly planned trade wars as a positive.

I find it hilarious and very sad that you want to call out the media for covering what the president does in the media BUT you won't call out the president for his grade school, playground behavior.

The large majority of the media is the propaganda arm of the Democrats. They only are there to advance a leftist agenda. They admit their job is to form public opinion, NOT report news.

Everyone can make a choice.
You chose the uncivilized Mob over the average at best. Others don't and won't.
