    I remember seeing a few of those in the Trump rallies in 2016. I remember seeing one Trump supporter hit an individual that dared disagree openly with Trump at one of those rallies. I also remember the press corps being hounded & threatened on several occasions by Trumpsters. I suspect if you saw anti-Trump people being aggressive, they learned that behavior from Trump supporters themselves. I don't support aggressive behaviors from any side. America is always best when her people work thru their differences together in positive ways. But I've not seen much evidence from Trump people that they really care about working with anyone, & Trump is himself the worst offender.

    Yep, it's pathetic when people ignore the mob attacking citizens at a political rally. Shame on you.

    Well, looks like we're headed for a violent year with that attitude. There was no violence from the Trump side in Minneapolis.

    It is a cult, nothing more.

    Whatever. Trump is the President of the United States and will be reelected.

    Read my post #151. Did you ignore Trump & his minions when they assaulted the innocent attendee who dared voice a disagreement with Trump? Did you stand against the mob when they repeatedly threatened the press sent there to cover Trump's rallies? Did you object when Trump repeatedly told those at the rallies to attack those who voiced opposition, & he'd pay for their legal fees? Or, are your objections reserved only for those who dare to voice opposition to despot Trump?

    Good. It didn't happen at every rally. But it happened at enough to arouse concerns. Based on Trump's growing agitation & profane rhetoric, it could happen again. If it does, will you defend him, or defend every American's right to disagree?

    I always defend free speech and never defend violence. However, I always defend self defense, and if someone assaults me they're going to get hurt.

    Nations are much like individuals, they go thru cycles.

    I agree. So, how does that stance fit in with Trump's encouraging his rally attendees to attack demonstrators or the press?

    He didn't do that in Minneapolis. Get up to speed.

    But he DID do those things during rallies in 2016. Are you OK with that?

    You're omitting an important fact. I'll give the opportunity to clarify what caused the problem. Go ahead.

    First of all, this cannot be true. The worst president so far was Bush Baby Junior.

    Secondly,
    I am talking about the choice of Trump vs. Hilary Clinton who is on the same intellectual level as Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson, Nickey Haley, and Sarah Palin. Trump was the better choice over Clinton by a long shot. By voting for Trump the American population saved themselves decades of hardship and death. Hurrah for the American voters!

    I agree that Bush Baby Jr was a horrid President, & certainly one of the worst in American history. But Trump has surpassed Bush Jr in his rush to the bottom dung heaps of history. Trump doesn't really care about anything or anyone except himself. Every decision he makes is based on how it will impact himself, either economically or politically. He never considers the impacts of those decisions on America or Americans. He doesn't care. He's also gradually dismantling the structures & workings of the American government. Remember during the 2016 campaign how he repeated, "Only I can do it." For Trump that's not just one liners for a political campaign. For Trump, that's his reality. The only person Trump really trusts, is himself, & he regards himself as smarter than anyone else, regardless of education, training or experience. As President, Trump has gradually gotten rid of everyone around him trained in specialty areas to assist him or advise him, & turned increasingly inward to himself for it all. Now he makes decisions that affect the entire world without ever consulting with or informing anyone else, or caring how that decision might impact them. He never gives it a thought. What kind of world leader behaves with such disregard for the impacts of his own decisions on others? A very uncaring one. Of all the names you mention in your post, NONE are as inept, thoughtless, or uncaring as Trump. He has eroded any & all claims he might have had to America's loyalty to him. He needs to be impeached, convicted by the Senate, & retired to his tower. And that needs to happen soon.

    I see your point. Yes, I definitely see your point. But I think that Bush's lie about WMD's, the fake proof of WMD's, the fake telephone discussion, the CIA spy inspection team (the first one), the assassination squads, the intentional destruction of Irak's infrastructure, the intentional destruction of the museums & historical collection, the torture at Abu Graib, the torture at Guantanamo, Bush not granting a pardon for the poor Iraki who threw his shoes at him, and ........ the death of a million innocent Iraki men, women and children - is far, far worse than anything Trump could ever accomplish even if he does get re-elected for 4 more years. A-N-D once again I must remind you that we are speaking about the only other alternative the American voters had .... Hitlery Clinton. All of that put together means that Trump is not THAT BAD.

    What Trump has just done & continues doing in Syria, may result in more damage to American foreign policy & trust, than most of what Bush did as President. I don't know for sure, but neither of them did America any favors. The Democrats are offering us some good choices for a 2020 Trump replacement. I can only hope the American voter is smart enough, & cares enough about America, to make that happen.

    For someone “trolling” others he shows no ability to accept the criticism such behaviuor deserves
