    I know repubs aren't gonna like this, but it's the damn truth.
    This rich new yorker, all he thinks about is his public image, his ratings, his crowd size,
    photo ops, grand standing in front of church waving a Bible, "dominate" he says, like a wannabe dictator, yeah, this meme gets it right, I mean, really right . This is who your president is.

    He foments chaos. He revels in it. It's what he does. In part so people focus on the crisis of the day rather than the crisis (or one of) from last week.

    Top Republican unsatisfied with White House justification for inspector general firings and replacements

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/grassl...-justification-for-inspector-general-firings/

    "Top Senate Republican Chuck Grassley said Tuesday that he isn't satisfied with the White House's explanation for the president's recent dismissal of multiple inspectors general. In a span of six weeks, the president removed five officials from posts leading their respective agencies' inspector general offices.

    Grassley had demanded the White House provide reasoning for the president's decision to fire or replace the inspectors general, beyond the explanation that the president has the prerogative to do so. But in a letter to Grassley on Tuesday, White House counsel Pat Cipollone simply underlined the president's authority to oust inspectors general without providing novel information about why the watchdogs were removed."

    "all he thinks about is his public image, his ratings, his crowd size" According to you, he never thinks of anything else. For me, statements like this rate an almost an automatic response. It is pure exaggeration. When people have to exaggerate to make their point, you can be sure that much of what they say is not true.

    True but he is also the president who does a ton of good for America. Yes, I realize you don't see that. He isn't a dictator. He has followed Obama's lead by going around congress to make executive orders that are then reviewed by the justice system. It is faster, of course, but it puts partisanship where it doesn't belong in government. The partisanship belongs in the halls of congress.

    Trump is a negative, he's doing this country far more harm than good. In fact, he's going down as the worst president in history. His incessant bloviating, petty rants, his trolling the left ( he makes no effort to unite the country, he only cares about what his base thinks ). Then there's his tariffs which are destroying small farms. His tax cuts have caused the debt and deficit to careen out of control. Every time he opens his mouth, it's cringe-worthy, nauseating. What amazes me is how his base doesn't see it, but they are blinded by a guy who appeals to mankind's worst instincts. They love it when he 'owns the libs', they like that. Well, I hate to break it to you, but that is about the worst quality for a president that a president can have. You can't make something great if you are a petty small man. He's not making the country great, he's dragging us down into a mire. This is a man-child who does juvenile things. Take that photo op in front of the church flashing the Bible, literally making a prop of a sacred text. I don't think you understand how incredibly moronic that was. And I haven't touched on his lawlessness, disrespect of the rule of law, his fawning over dictators is unprecedented, his 'we are in love' to KJU, who is a murderer, his obsequiousness over Putin, who is also a murderer. No president in history has done such a thing, he's an affront to all former presidents. You have been blinded by this man, mesmerized. Not to mention the numerous incredibly stupid words that come from his mouth. He's a con man, the world's greatest huckster of whom P.T. Barnum would have been proud. You are so wrong, and you don't even know it. Partisanship? He's the worst offender in history. What I'm saying about this president I've never said about any president. I didn't like Bush, but I acknowledge that Bush was my president. I can't call Trump 'my president' when he trolls me every day of the week that he's been in office, sorry. Not to mention he's a master of implanting into the minds of his flock a bucket full of thought-terminating clichés. He's got the demagogue's playbook down to a T. Read Rick Wilson's books, David Frum's books ( these are conservatives, the kind that used to back republican presidents, well Trump has murdered the republican party, it's dead. William F Buckley did not approve of Trump, and once upon a time, if you didn't appeal to Buckley, you were marginalized in the GOP. but, the inmates are not in control of the asylum ).

    But he’s right. He’s number one. Don’t you find it interesting that despite all the vitriol that is invariably thrown at him, he remains number 1? Maybe that’s the whole point.

    I wouldn't say that his sole thought is public image, although it is important to him. My take is that his sole thought, at this point, is about re election. His decisions seem to be made based upon which group he can appease. Whether it is the evangelicals by opening the churches or his base by calling in the military. I will give him credit for having a strategy, but I wish it were more about running the country than his re election.

    Again an exaggeration. No one has a sole thought about any single subject.

    Baloney. It is just that simple. You and others have no idea who Trump is. You are so blinded by your agenda that you refuse to see anything in an unbiased way.

    When people offer factless opinions based on nothing more than hot air and hate, a fact base rebuttal is as necessary as a dog turd in a wet suit.

    the guy who was fined $2,000,000 for charity fraud,
    the guy who helped russian mobsters launder millions for decades,

    the guy who dissed a war hero because he likes people 'who weren't captured',
    the guy who brags about grabbing women's genitals because, as a celebrity, he can get away with it,
    the guy who settled $25,000,000 in a class action lawsuit for screwing thousands out of millions for a fake university,
    the guy who said some mexicans, he presumes, 'are good people',
    the guy who said, as president 'I take no responsibility',
    they guy who said 'there was blood coming out of her eyes, there was blood coming out of her...wherever'
    the guy who said 'it doesn't really matter what they write as long as you've got a young and beautiful piece of ass.
    the guy who said 'if she weren't my daughter, I'd be dating her'
    the guy who said asked Russia, on TV, to commit cyber espionage on a candidate,
    the guy who has 22 women accusing him of sexual misconduct, some acts of which he bragged about,
    the guy who was sued over 100 times for not paying contractors,
    the guy who once tried to use eminent domain to screw a widow out of her home so he could build a limo garage,
    the guy who screwed over the good townspeople of Aberdeenshire Scotland so that he could build a golf course there......

    the guy who said:

    January 22: “We have it totally under control. It’s one person coming in from China. It’s going to be just fine.”
    February 2: “We pretty much shut it down coming in from China.”
    February 24: “The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA… Stock Market starting to look very good to me!”
    February 25: “CDC and my Administration are doing a GREAT job of handling Coronavirus.”
    February 25: “I think that's a problem that’s going to go away… They have studied it. They know very much. In fact, we’re very close to a vaccine.”
    February 26: “The 15 (cases in the US) within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero.”
    February 26: “We're going very substantially down, not up.”
    February 27: “One day it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
    February 28: “We're ordering a lot of supplies. We're ordering a lot of, uh, elements that frankly we wouldn't be ordering unless it was something like this. But we're ordering a lot of different elements of medical.”
    March 2: “You take a solid flu vaccine, you don't think that could have an impact, or much of an impact, on corona?”
    March 2: “A lot of things are happening, a lot of very exciting things are happening and they’re happening very rapidly.”
    March 4: “If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work — some of them go to work, but they get better.”
    March 5: “I NEVER said people that are feeling sick should go to work.”
    March 5: “The United States… has, as of now, only 129 cases… and 11 deaths. We are working very hard to keep these numbers as low as possible!”
    March 6: “I think we’re doing a really good job in this country at keeping it down… a tremendous job at keeping it down.”
    March 6: “Anybody right now, and yesterday, anybody that needs a test gets a test. They’re there. And the tests are beautiful…. the tests are all perfect like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right? This was not as perfect as that but pretty good.”
    March 6: “I like this stuff. I really get it. People are surprised that I understand it… Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president.”
    March 6: “I don't need to have the numbers double because of one ship that wasn't our fault.”
    March 8: “We have a perfectly coordinated and fine tuned plan at the White House for our attack on CoronaVirus.”
    March 9: “This blindsided the world.”
    March 10 GOLFING!
    March 13: "For years the @CDCGOV looked at, and studied, its testing system, but did nothing about it. It would always be inadequate and slow for a large scale pandemic, but a pandemic would never happen, they hoped. President Obama made changes that only complicated things further.....
    March 13: "Their response to H1N1 Swine Flu was a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now. The changes have been made and testing will soon happen on a very large scale basis. All Red Tape has been cut, ready to go!"

    And this doesn't include his latest moronic utterings from mid-march to current.
