President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

He's had it for four score odd years.

 

Poor Pence couldn't even memorize lines? Now I really feel for him. Oh, wait ...

 

When did Democrats ever question Republicans' patriotism during that era?

 

I've never been accused of going high.

 

I am starting to wonder whether a President
who is afraid of a Broadway musical can defeat ISIS.

They made him delete it because he didn't have a space after the period before "Couldn't."

 

Dan Rather:

Bullies are often thin-skinned, quick to overreact when challenged, and undone when people are no longer afraid to speak truth to their face. Great presidents are almost always the opposite in all those categories.

Reflecting on Donald Trump's complete overreaction to a statement made at the end of a performance of Broadway's Hamilton: An American Musical, I couldn't help but think - doesn't this man have more important things to worry about? Hasn't the theater long been a stage for political art? And isn't this a man who broke so many norms as a candidate, insulted so many people - individually and as groups - that he now has the nerve to demand an apology when he never gave one himself?

I know there are many who say that this incident shouldn't be blown out of proportion. Yes, when compared to cabinet posts or paying out $25 million in a fraud case against "Trump University," a Tweet maybe might not seem that important. But being president is to have every word you utter scrutinized. And these words are intimidating and unfitting of the office of the presidency. But more importantly, they show a real weakness of vanity and small-mindedness that our enemies abroad will likely look to exploit. I can also imagine that Trump's political foes at home are noticing - once again - how easily he can be rattled.

I imagine this is not the last we will see of these kinds of incidents.

 

Somebody's going to get it and change the Twitter password before it's over.

 

He'll pay big money for access to YOUR twitter account. Hell, by Christmas you could be Secretary of Agriculture for it.

But not until he cleans his room, takes out the garbage cans AND eats all his vegetables!
