    I understand some of my fellow Republicans will not hold this man accountable. I'm not one of them. Trump woefully under performed in his first 100 days. The most glaring shortcoming being the embarrassing effort to repeal Obamacare, a situation in which Trump was clearly a fish of water. The article goes into full details about what Trump said he would do vs. what he has done. I suggest everyone read this. This article proves Trump has not been sitting on his hands, but it also shows us he is behind his own schedule.

    In all seriousness, I do not consider Trump a Republican nor a conservative. Now today's Republican party is totally different from ten+ years ago. The biggest issue I have with Trump the man is the fact that he can't get beyond his own daily BS. He will not get anything real done if he keeps warping his reality to fit his ego. POTUS is a 24/7, hands on job and you cannot farm out the majority of tasks and then expect things just to fall in line. Talk is cheap and he most definitely is taking care of his personal interests/wealth, it's time for him to do it for the entire country now and cut the BS. Plot a course and sail it, stop the daily flip flopping & drama. If "adoration" is what he craves, he'd better buckle down for major disappointment and get to work, sleeve rolled up et al.

    Lot of words, lot of platitudes, but no substance, no references, no specifics.

    But here's a chance to redeem yourself.

    I'd like to hear what you think about the fact that no other President in US history has suffered more militant opposition in their first 100 days than Trump has.

    Think about it.

    From riots, to corporate attacks on his family's business interests, to Unconstitutional federal court actions, to having to fight what is in essence a coup from former Obama agents working against him from within his own administration, to suffering relentless baseless fact-less evidence-less attacks from Democrats who use fake news and fake "dossiers" to haul his people away from their work, to ...holy **** man I can go on and on and on.

    Give me your thoughts on that but put some effort into it because posts like the one I'm quoting are just rants and you've already made your rant.

    Apart from your first sentence which shows you are suffering from some serious butthurt, Trump ran on division by continuously playing the blame game and victim card. He spewed known lies continuously and acted like a spoilt brat. In addition, because of this outlandish behaviour, the media gave him free 24/7 coverage. Then unfortunately, he was desperate and corrupt enough to accept/use help from Russia to win the election (which no one with any reasoning ability denies anymore including Trump) so you can understand the opposition to him. In addition he barely eeked one out, so to speak.
    But I digress, your butthurt has taken the thread off course. Get used to his failures, he is ineffective and unable to govern any democratic republic so stop blaming the opposition.

    It's really sad, but not surprising considering the alt-right's near complete detachment from reality, that you probably actually think that's true. I guess you missed the entirety of President Obama's 2 terms; the disrespect by the right, the pure contempt... it was all there.

    Let's start with the GOP's response to Obama's historic win:



    Very few riots. A lot of demonstrations involving millions of people with a few of the usual trouble makers destroying ****.

    Guess what... it happened during Obama's presidency as well:

    Not exactly sure what you mean by "corporate attacks." But the Trump family's holding are extensive and global presenting a significant conflict of interest as the Trump clan aggressively capitalizes off of its position of political power.

    You seem to keep forgetting that the judicial system is the 3rd branch of the government and has oversight over the other two in regards to matters of the Constitution. I know that the right-wing loves them some fascism these days, but we still have a triple-forked system of government that doesn't mean that a petty wannabee dictator like Trump gets to do whatever the **** he wants.

    Right-wing claptrap. The Trump Admin's extensive contacts, and the subsequent attempts to hide them, represent a significant national security risk. It's obvious that there is more to the story and it will come out eventually as multiple intelligence agencies as well as Congressional committees dig a little deeper into the corruption that rots the Trump Admin to its core.

    If you want thoughtful responses, maybe you should put a little thought into your posts instead of just listing a bunch unsubstantiated garbage from the right-wing's boilerplate sheet.

    And we have to sit through another 2-3 1/2 years of this incessant whining... Oy vey.

    ACTUAL “SMART DIPLOMACY” IN ACTION: “White House officials said Mr. Trump took a personal interest in her case…. ‘He just said, ‘Let’s bring her home.’”

    It’s hard — isn’t it? — for the liberal media to give President Trump credit for anything, but they should gracefully give him the credit he genuinely deserves. Imagine what the NYT would look like if President Obama had brought Aya Hijazi home! Trump was portrayed in a negative light for cozying up to Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sissi, but the Obama administration tried and failed to bring Hijazi home. . . .

    Let’s talk about which is better, Obama’s words or Trump’s words? Do Trump’s words seem ridiculous and clownish — calling Sisi “fantastic” — when we see that Trump got results? . . .

    Successful action is camouflaged in verbiage about things that have been said. Some of his words may sound like confusion, but that doesn’t mean Trump is confused about what he is saying. Maybe he knows how to use words. There’s an awful lot of evidence that he does. You can look down on him and call him confused, but when the results come in, you ought to question your analysis of what he is doing with words.

    Acknowledging that would interfere with the smugness.

    So no major legislative victories.

    All that should take about 5 minutes for the next president to wipe from the record leaving Trump with a big beautiful piece of chocolate cake as his sole legacy.

    Damn, you let me down ThorInc.

    I gave you a perfect opportunity to stand out from the ranting deranged masses, by critically analyzing a set of specifics and then responding directly to then, and you squandered it by just writing out another substanceless rant.

    Trump Derangement Syndrome (your description the repeal ObamaCare with no explanation of the 3 phase Ryan/Pence plan based on reconciliation and the moronic actions of the Freedom Caucus show that). Plus the 100 days are not up yet and the 100 day time period is meaningless.

    And as usual, you can't stay on topic.........you are flailing. The topic is Trump's lack of "winning" basically he has no choice but to whine and blame someone else. :)

    Don't count on that happening.

    Donald Trump has always been the man you see now. He can't walk past a mirror without admiring himself. It's all about him And he's happy when we are all talking about him. Getting something done does not matter to him. The appearance of doing so is enough. Just as saying that an aircraft carrier group was going to Korea was enough. It didn't matter to him (or his fan base) that this wasn't real.

    Real doesn't count in Trump world. Look at Trump Steaks.

    The Vinson will be there next week. That's very real. North Korea, Iran, Russia, and China know that is very real.

    He is winning just fine. The setbacks have been the result of the moronic Freedom Caucus and the ninth circuit who failed to even mention the actual law in their ruling and whose rulings are overturned are overturned by the SCOTUS at a rate of ~ 90%.

    This thread is another example of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    Yes, he does possess a talent for the sort of language that works when you're talking to a half distracted television audience that doesn't want to be bothered to pay that much attention.

    He's good at playing to emotions, stoking outrage and putting on the sort of show that plays well on reality TV and game shows.

    But he has no skill at all when to comes to the language of the job he has or how to communicate with world leaders, project leadership, confidence, strength or competence.

    His fifth grade vocabulary plays great on Fox. It doesn't play with world leaders. He looks like a wannabe next to folks like Angela Merkel and Xi. Alas, that's what he really is. A kid from Queens who craves respect and doesn't know how to earn it.

    Yea yea yea, say more words.

    Fact is, I gave you the opportunity to rise above rant-status and present me with a well thought out critical analysis on a specific subject.

    If you had simply not responded at all I would have assumed you were either too lazy or just not interested.

    But you came back with your third rant which shows me, and everyone else, that you are just incapable of posting anything other than rants.

    No more responses as necessary, we're done here.

    Constitution and the law. The law gives plenary power to the President over immigration. The liberal judges are stepping outside the law to make decisions or what is called judicial activism, but then, liberals don't like law.
