    There is no question that Donald Trump has and demonstrates on an
    almost daily basis { sometimes hourly } leadership qualities.
    Recently { this past Wednesday } when the Stock market had another
    Black Monday { record sell off by an 800 pr. drop } Trump ... The President,
    Our President did the right thing.He contacted the 3 biggest Banks and their CEO.
    And politely inquired as to what it meant.And what needs to be done.
    It turned on the question of consumer and corporation confidence.In relation
    to China and Tariffs.And the Bond Markets Inversion { bellwether signal
    for a pending recession }.The thing is ... Trump acted.Wasted no time in
    trying to fix,yet another Problem.The guys definately No Calvin *Coolidge.
    Getting fat and lazy while our president.The MSM already tried that approach.
    Trump may have some questionable habits { like Tweeting out his mind on
    subjects } but his Heart is most assuredly in the right place.Making sure
    to stand at attention and with hand over heart at the playing of out national
    anthem is proof.Trump refuses to back off that most American tradition.
    I mean,how more basic can it get.Leaders aren't Born.

    " To know men is to be wise.
    A sound leader's aim is to open people's hearts,
    Fill their stomachs,
    Calm their wills,
    Brace their bones,
    And to clarify their thoughts and cleanse their needs.
    That no cunning meddler could touch them. "
    -- Lao-Tzu { Chinese philosopher }

    A leader accepts responsibility. A leader does not spend his days pointing fingers at everyone but himself. Trump is simply a dick with a title.

    Trump is concerned about himself only.

    A real American leader is concerned with the people first.

    A leader pokes fun of people who are overweight? Who knew that’s what leaders do.

    Trump is actually a very cordial President and in particular Diplomat.
    Not when it comes to troublemakers and surely not those like
    Isis.You,like many, have him read all wronged.Mostly on porpoise.

    yeah righto.I guess that explains yet another fiscal year where he
    Donates his entire Presidential salary to a good cause.Sometimes
    per quarter.This quarter Trump wrote a check out { $ 100,ooo }
    to the Surgeon Generals office }.
    Trump has pledged not to take a salary { $ 400,ooo } while
    President.Donating each quarter to a worthy cause.
    Whereas Guys like Obama already have grafted their status as
    president to enrich themselves.Obama with a $ 70 Million dollar
    book deal { for both he and Michelle } Highest by far of any President
    book deal.And also the $ 100 Million Netflix deal.
    Trump is Losing Net worth as President.

    Unlike the cocky Obama pose as if an *unassailable Emperor.

    This is especially disturbing when the condition of the man throwing the insults is considered.

    The left's rhetoric here and elsewhere will become more bitter as November 2020 approaches but it will remain the same tiresome mantra, Trump is bad he's just bad, bad, bad, bad, bad!!!! The stuff we hear these days sounds like the kind of stuff you'd hear in the hallways of high schools, just juvenile twaddle. The true measure of a leader is what he does for the country without concern for political consequences. Conversely everything Obama did was empty political theatre, a bunch of mumbo jumbo scrolling off a teleprompter. Everything the man said was scripted and carefully measured for dramatic effect. The most honest thing he could have said was " Hi, I'm Barrack Obama and I'm not a president but I play one on TV." Donald Trump will be re-elected in 2020 and America will remain safe for at least four more years. After that I hope enough eyes are opened to prevent the ugly, evil fairytale of progressivism to gain traction. I'm cautiously optimistic that the capricious nature of the American electorate has changed and that people are really paying attention. I think most people's BS filter is a lot more finely tuned these days and that the left has run out of ideas. God Bless America, MAGA!!!!!!

    Trump is probably the most unpretentious man in the world. He is straightforward and natural all the time. What you see is what you get. Not a stuffed suit like so many other politicians and prominent people. That upsets some people to see Trump so open and frank because they want sophistication, urbane, debonair, and elegance in their president. I like the way Trump relates to all, is running the country, has the economy humming, and he will always answer any and all questions the media puts to him. A unique man. Go ahead and dislike the man but you have to admit he is good for our country and it's people.

    :icon_jawdrop::icon_jawdrop::icon_jawdrop: in what land of weird is Trump “cordial”

    The only thing cordial about Trump is the colour he has in common with the drink

    I'm not all that Jazzed with his Rally appearances.Frankly I think they are
    quite boring.In this Rush Limbaugh is way off base.Limbaugh just adores
    Trump because that is what Limbaugh does for a Living.He comments on
    Presidents,mostly.Thats his basic job description.His stock in trade.
    But I think Dennis Prager is spot on about Trump.One may have issues
    with his tweeting but never his Love for this Country.
    The Tweeting doesn't bother me.Frankly I have no use for a Twitter
    account or Facebook.Nor Google.Those are ALL contrivances to help
    The Democrats and also a George Soros Globalist World Order.
    I think Trump works near non-stop.He's a fixer not a linguist.
    Obama was just a sneaky Doublespeak wordssmith who the MSM and
    Press fell in love with.No matter what.
    The exact Opposite with Donald Trump.He is loathed and despised by this
    corrupt MSM and supposed Free Press.I have been warning about this MSM
    since first arriving here.They are progressively getting more nasty and down
    dirty Unamerican.They are Problemo Numero Uno.
    BTW Trump's Rally in New Hampshire was overflow as usual.
    Beating out Elton John's record for that venus.
    As opposed to Senator Warren and her 700 crowd attendance a few days earlier.
    Which this filthy dirty dog Media played-up as if the next coming of Christ.

    And he's the polar opposite of a "fixer". WTF has he "fixed"?

    Prove that.Surely not with the Economy.Or getting rid of Isis,in near
    record time.Getting us out of NAFTA,and The Paris Accord.
    Making sure to nominate strong Conservative Supreme Court
    Justices and having McConnell appoint a record level of Federal
    judges.Supporting other leaders like Boris Johnson and
    doubting those like Angela Merkle { a disaster }.
    Trumps biggest accomplishment,however was making sure to
    rid the country of Obama's record level of rules & regulations.
    That were killing the average American { Utility bills } and
    destroying any potential for job growth and a vibrant strong
    economy.We are now almost independent of need for Foreign oil.
    The election of Trump has awakened a sleeping giant.
    Not the kind of sleeping giant that Obama opened up.
    But a good sleeping giant.With hair to match.

    This is a fascinating stream of consciousness. But it's not nearly as good as Trump's classic "Elton John" speech. Needs more organ. And brain.

    What did you think about Trump saying "Take the guns first, go through due process second". Did you think he was being "straitforward and natural"?

    Trump spent 110 million playing golf at his Mar-a-Lago resort looks like the taxpayers donated more than Trump has..

    I don't support President Trump because of leadership qualities at all. I'm not looking for a leader.
    I have no need for a leader. I support President Trump because I can trust him to stand between me and those who believe that they can better lead me than I can lead myself.

    I have never gotten the impression that President Trump wants to lead me, or guide me, or steer me one way or another. In fact, I support President Trump because I can trust him to leave me alone. What's more, I trust him to get the deep state, and the socialists, the environmentalists, and all of the other 'ists off of my back.

    I read somewhere that libertarians want to take over the world and then leave you alone.
    I like that plan.
