President Trump

[DONW]

So he repays evil with evil? Democrats are nasty, so let's all be nasty? Charles Manson killed a bunch of people, so let's all kill people?

You feel this is a good thing for the leader of the party that (putatively) represents the nation's traditional Judeo-Christian values?

Like I said, there IS a double standard. What of it? If Republicans are truly the party of higher standards, they should embrace it.

This post is as stupid as your twss posts. You never say anything about all the hatred that is directed at Trump and all the lies the democrats direct at him . You only post when Trump replies back to them when you post something about how mean it is for Trump to pick on those poor democrats. Comparing Trump to Charles Manson may be your most stupid post of all.

To clarify -- I've never registered as a Democrat, and I rarely vote for them.

As has been discussed before, at some length, media companies are profit-driven and will produce whatever material they feel will drive viewership, revenue, and share value. (that's called "capitalism", btw) They're under no obligation to deliver you fair or unbiased news. If you dont like it, dont watch it.

I dont know about others, but I do not condone bad behavior from any public officials. I dont care their color or creed -- classy is classy and mean is mean.

Looks like CNN is not very good at capitalism. They keep making up lies about Trump and other Republicans and they keep losing viewers. Your reverse thinking is not working.

I was not comparing Trump to Manson. I was trying to illustrate that "democrats do it too" is a weak defense. Because somebody else behaves badly is not a reason for everyone to behave badly. I maintain that "hitting back" is more often a weakness than a strength, particularly in a public official.

As far hate directed at Trump … wah. He freely chose the single most highly scrutinized and criticized job perhaps all human history. If he cant take it gracefully, it serves to corroborate the "big baby" narrative his critics allege.

Over 3 years of being investigated by crooked FBI officials and crooked democrats that supported Hillary Clinton and you think he should not fight back? He would be the weakest man on this planet if he didn't. I'm glad he hit back at Cummings. He is a disgusting human, just like Nadler, Schitt, and the rest of your liberal democrats. His wife stole $250,000 from a tax free charity and none of the news media except FNC has even mentioned it.

Unfortunately what Trump is teaching the right is that taking it gracefully wasn't going to bring change. People like yourself were never going to hold anyone on the left accountable. They can't see the bad behavior from within their bubble, and taking it gracefully was only allowing that bubble to grow.

That sounds like propaganda. He was the ONLY one who could affect change. We don't know that. Further, we don't know what of his change is going to stick. Beyond that, Trump has given conservatives some wins (no doubt). He's also dealt some serious blows to free-market capitalists. There's not much difference between Elizabeth Warren's economic plan and Tucker Carlson's.

The Left is never held accountable...not as a whole. A few lefty individuals are...like Al Franken (the bozo), but the loony Left and its moronic followers never are. (except by a few of us). Trump pushes back and the Left and the lamestream media can't handle the heat. What's more! now we are seeing other GOPers, like Lindsey Graham, standing up to the bullies on the Left. Trump has embolden others to grow a spine.

I didn't say he was the only one, or even that he was the best one, but he was willing to put himself in the cross-hairs by standing up to them as few (maybe none) have done before. So far the attacks have failed to do much damage. He's become a "Teflon Don" as even the areas of legitimate criticism seem to slide right off. I don't view his "blows to free-market capitalists" are as much of a concern to me because i view them as minor relative to the damage done in the past. His complete lack of fiscal responsibility is the concerning thing to me.

So 47% of our population are deplorable white nationalists (skin heads).

If you ask a liberal, that % is way low.

STUART VARNEY: Trump 'dominated' G-7 unlike any president in 'years'











LEGENDARY PERFORMANCE?

The Tweeter in Chief struck again last week. Will be interesting to see what this week holds.

This thread was noticeably silent during the whole "king of Isreal" / "second coming" / "chosen one" affair. I've suggested before that the President is, to many of his followers, an infallible messiah above any reproach or criticism. And now he's even been using messianic language to describe himself. Of course, it was dismissed by his supporters as out-of-context / fake news / etc .

I wonder if he were to demand outright worship, how some members of this board would respond.
