Of course it hurts the US - whether you look at the domestic example of the uptick in hate crimes or the international examples of how our traditional allies are drifting away.

Probably for some extremely sensitive people. But he's not aiming to make everyone love him, he's just got a job to do. It's near impossible to do both.

After 8 years of mealy mouthed, apologetic Obama's bowing and scraping, a little belligerence is refreshing.

And he's getting things done for Americans instead of apologizing and making excuses for us. He's the anti-Obama, which is why many of us voted for him.

OH, once again, the assumption by some that this guy knows what he is doing, is a normal, functioning adult making actual decisions, himself.

Look, he is unable to be an agreeable, rational adult, likes "fighting back", is retaliatory, creates chaos, has one mode. He clearly has emotional problems, is a constant liar, a criminal, is unfit for and just going through the motions of being a president with those around him having to keep him afloat. HE should not even be there.

There has never been so much upheaval within an administration before of those quitting, being fired or some tolerating it for the sake of their jobs, I suppose. Why some will not see how abnormal this has been is unbelievable, but know that we are in the middle of a nightmare, waiting for it to end.

The mayor of London summed it up quite well when he said Trump is a 6' 3" child. Donald Trump is ugly inside and it comes out in the way he relates to others, speaks, and how he acts. This isn't strength we are seeing, it is arrogance and pettiness.

Who did Obama bow and scrape to?

You guys got mad because Obama wouldn’t bow and scrape to Israel.

I’m laughing because Trump ONLY bows and scrapes. The Saudis have punked him. The Russians have punked him. Venezuela basically ignored him. North Korea openly defied him and now they just laugh at him. The Iranians just watched him lose his nerve COMPLETELY over potential casualty counts. To make things worse, Trump went sniveling about it on Twitter. What a wimp.

Trump blew his trumpet super loud in his first year and fooled all of you into thinking he’s tough, but the real tough actors saw right through him. The Iranians have declared that all the sanctions in the world won’t bring them to the table. No fear of Trump whatsoever. They own Trump. Now Trump is trying to position himself as a reasonable diplomat...because all that barking with no biting has failed.

You right wingers are too easily impressed by tough talk. Mostly because conservatism lends itself to being weak and feckless anyway, so anyone that talks loud sounds appealing.

Trump is soft..just like the typical conservative male.

Trump is everything the Liberals wish they were... He's not a cry-baby sissy, with his tail between his legs...... so the Liberals don't understand someone that doesn't act just like they do.

I never do the poll not because I can't but because I don't want to.

You think you are superior because you do the polls? I could be a jerk and say something like -- you must be a Trump fan with that kind of logic --- but that's hurling a personal insult and I don't do that. I leave that to others.

I don't do the polls. The polls are meant to spark a discussion -- I just jump to the discussion.

Enjoy doing the poll...it seems to be important to you.

As someone who voted for him, he is absolutely a cry-baby. You can argue he has a right to be with the way he's treated, but he absolutely whines and complains on a daily basis.
