    The Republicans tell us Hillary supporters that we should accept the fact that Trump was elected president.

    Well, I DO accept the fact that Trump was elected president.

    However, there are some things that I do NOT accept. That is:

    - I do not accept his bragging: OFTEN, his bragging is not supported by any facts. And, it is ALWAYS obnoxious.

    - I do not accept his hypocrisy: For example, during his campaign, Trump accused Hillary of being a crook. But in
    reality, Trump was the crook. During his business career, Trump refused to pay a lot of people who did work for
    him. And his Trump University was a scam.

    - I do not accept his lies: According to the fact checkers, Trump lied over 70% of the time during his campaign.
    And, as we all know, he STILL lies a lot. How can we trust the word of a man who lies as much as he does?

    - I do not accept the way he treats other people: For example, Trump has attacked and insulted good Americans
    who are working hard to make America great.

    - I do not accept his disdain for our institutions: Trump has attacked institutions that make America great, and
    keep America safe.

    - I do not accept Trump’s bromance with Putin: I think that it would be ok to work together on issues in such a
    way that would allow both countries to benefit in a positive way. But, it would not benefit America to appease
    Putin. And it appears that Putin wants appeasement, and wants Trump to be his useful idiot.

    - I do not accept a number of his nominees to run our government agencies:
    -- After complaining about Wall Street during his campaign, Trump wants Wall Streeters to run these agencies.
    -- For a number of the agencies:
    ---- The nominee does not understand the issues addressed by the agency.
    ---- And even worse, the nominee does not support the goals of the agency. So, in such a case, the fox will be
    guarding the hen house. And the goals of the agency will be replaced by the goals of the nominee.
    -- And after accusing Hillary of being a crook, Trump nominated a Congressman who passed laws designed to
    make himself (the Congressman) richer.

    Bottom line: I accept the fact that Trump was elected president, but I do not accept his unacceptable behavior.

    Trump did say a few things that I found acceptable:
    - He said that he opposes unnecessary wars.
    - He said that he wants to fix our infrastructure.
    - And he said that he wants to fix our trade agreements.

    However, we all know that Trump lies a lot. So, can we trust him on these issues?

    I don't support bullies.
    Trump is a bully. And has been one all his life.
    He got sent to military school because he was a bully.
    What's worse, is he is a bully with money. Which means he can destroy anyone,
    financially or legally, who stands up to him.

    The problem is now, when someone stands up to him.
    Millions of Americans are going to die.

    Best looking? The president himself is a bloated mess with a turkey neck and a dead cat on his head. As for his wife...$$$ speaks volumes.

    But Don is an Alpha Male and it's part of his DNA, he's a natural-born winner, so who'd you rather have sticking up for America on the world stage, him or that pol-correct little granny Hillary?..;)

    I accept Trump is the President.

    I do not like that Trump is President.
    I fear that Trump is President.
    I am depressed that Trump is President.

    The whole world accepts Trump is POTUS...and no one knows what it will mean.

    YET.

    What does "don't accept" mean?
    It's an abstraction and meaningless

    What about Pres Bill Clinton and Monica, you forgot about that?
    Mind you, full credit to Bill for launching cruise missile strikes on terror installations, no doubt thinking at the time- "Here, suck on these!"

    In the end, when we're talking about the president or any other official, what counts is what the person does in an official capacity, including what they say in that capacity. All of this other stuff about what he has said and how he allegedly thinks about things is of little consequence. We have to look ahead now.

    Old news. Bill is not the President. Donald "how can I make a buck and screw others" is the President now. Going to be a very long 4 years for him. Agree?

    I did not like the way Trump behaved in the primaries and general election. He definitely is arrogant and a narcissist, but despite all that I still voted for him. I suffered a lot of anxiety through the whole campaign because I am a Democrat turned Republican. I couldn't vote for Hillary but I also couldn't stomach the idea of voting for Trump. I think we had the 2 worst Presidential candidates ever to pick from! I did not decide to vote until the day of the election and I voted for Trump. I live in one of the rust belt states and as you know, we are the people who got him elected. In the end for me it was his stance on immigration, Supreme Court picks and keeping jobs in the US. Hillary wanted to let 65,000 Syrian immigrants into the US. That alone prohibited me from voting for her. Trump wants to protect our borders and find a way to better vet the people coming in. While we might not like Trumps tone, he does come across as a strong leader and I'm willing to give him a chance. The best part of the inauguration was when he ripped into the Congress right in front of them. They have been nothing but obstructing for years. I hope this changes. If he is the great negotiator he claims to be, I think he can work with both sides of the aisle to get SOMETHING, ANYTHING done. He is absolutely right that Congress has reaped the financial benefits of their positions while having the lowest all time opinion of the general public as far as their ability to accomplish anything. It's time for the people to benefit and for Congress to DO THEIR JOBS! I hope he cracks the whip on these elected officials!!!!!!

    No, no, don't you understand, 'accepting' means we MUST approve of everything he says and does.

    Are you honestly being serious?

    Is that a cat? poor thing. I'd heard it was a badger he once wrestled to prove how manly he was in an Alpha male contest

    Trump didn't brag on himself near as much as the obamunist does. The obamunist is right down sickening about it. The sad part is the obamunist has nothing to brag about.

    True. Trump NEVER brags. He just gropes. Oh. Sorry. I meant gloats.

    she's by far the best looking First Lady in the history of this country. Once we get rid of the illegals, we'll have 1/2 trillion $ per year to spend on other things. Ditto if we cut back the worse than worthless military. and as much more if we give up the worse than worthless dope war.
