^^^^^ That's irrelevant.

mkpunk has never asked to be President.

People should expect more from a President than from John or Jane Q. Public.

no, but is that really a bad thing, yes he no where near what we would think was presidential as in a king or queen, but as a leader and businessman, he has done more good stuff in the last 100 years

They just shut their eyes and tapped the computer screen at the polling place. Sadly...

I never claimed to be perfect at all, but I'm not the president. Our current president has made a number of rude and downright vulgar comments while being president in a public forum. I try to not make vulgar comments when in public or in a public forum.

I don't care what he says. Don't care one bit.
It could not be as bad as what I heard coming from Rashida Tlaib, and the lies could not be a blatant as what I hear from Nancy.


I measure by how he governs, not by how well his suit fits.

Agreed. But why does that matter in the scheme of things? How does Trump being himself have anything to do with your health, your job, your kids education, or the safety of your neighborhood. Not that you're saying one way or the other.

A parent comes home from work to his house and says to a spouse and kids, "I just got a big raise so we don't have to live in this bad neighborhood". "But Trump said something mean so I can't enjoy life."

It's always about policy. Nothing else matters.

I'd rather have a president who acts less presidential but puts forward good policies and makes good decisions than someone who acts more presidential but puts forward lousy policies and makes poor decisions.

You guys just don't get it. It isn't all just about results. Its about following rules and doing things the way they are supposed to be done.

The other thing you just don't get is that the real work was done by the last president. Unemployment went from over 10% to 4.8%. Its gone from 4.8% to 3.5% under this one. Most people can count.
It's been under 4% for a year and a half.

Remember the last time that happened?

That's right, it was the early-mid 1960s.
