Oh just stop. Trump is not hated ONLY because he is uncouth or because he sent mean tweets. There are many legitimate reasons for disliking Trump and for disliking the things he did to and for this country. Plus he is not the brightest bulb in the lamp.
I disagree. I think he's brighter than one realizes. In some ways he was handicapped by his advisors.
Trump came within a millimeter of getting Maduro out of Venezuela, and, last minute, he turned to advice from one of his advisors and lost the opportunity to put a big feather in his cap.
When Trump met with Kim Jong Un in Hanoi, he wanted to immediately drop the sanctions against North Korea and possibly build a hotel in North Korea. John Bolton was there and talked him out of it. Another lost opportunity to have peace with North Korea. IMO, Kim Jong Un is no danger to any country, they justifiably have nukes for their own protection. North Korea has turned quasi-Capitalist, just like China, and Trump recognized this.
Critics are quick to criticize any President, overlooking the impact of their advisors.
Not to be nitpicky, but Division I didn't exist until 1973. When Biden went to the University of Delaware in 1961 they were classified as NCAA College Division.
You are correct, plus back then they had Freshman teams.
And I doubt the D-1 football players in 1973 were as brick wall solid as they are now. My nephew plays D-1 and at 6'4 and 265, he's one of the SMALLER members of the team (defensive line).
That is very true. All athletes today are better fit, more skilled then ever before. Guess what else? Most athletes of today are culturally progressive.
TDS - you never got the help we all said you needed. Why do you have to insert Trump into every discussion?
Because the OP mentioned Trump in their post first?
If Trump is supposed to be a great example of masculine toughness...ugh, no thanks. Glad my husband isn't that flavor of "tough" and I wouldn't want any of my theoretical sons to be like that. One can be strong without acting like he does.
Wow! It's awesome that you got to see that! It's amazing how many posters here know so much about Trump. Knowing him personally, is a feather in all of your caps.
This is Ivana telling the story herself....of course you can take with a grain of salt, I suppose, since it's her telling about it and not him, but it does not sound like he was happily surprised to discover her proficiency at skiing.
Yep. Dole was tough as nails and had guts to spare. And on top of that he was a decent human being with a good heart. Why are there no more pubs like that? Just groveling curs like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham.
Truth is, alot of politicians regarding of political party tend to be nutty and insufferable. Many are more slick about it than others.

The thing is, the fact that Trump is a jerk, uncouth, and brutish, this is what is appealing to some young men. Let's call it what it is. The brutish, angry, "tough guy" persona appeals to the angry.
Political commentator Jack Beatty has more on that, in this video clip. And Jack Beatty was saying this about Richard Nixon.
Come on, now. Buying Greenland? - and then canceling a state visit at the last minute when the idea was ridiculed as soundly as it deserved to be?
Not that I minded, honestly. Watching his nincompoop ambassador posting about how great the upcoming visit was going to be hours after the news of the cancellation had broken in the press was pretty good fun.

Duh, what?
