    ............his enablers are.

    If not for them he would not be disgracing the country.

    He claimed President Obama wasn't born in Hawaii, then had to retract the lie, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He mocked a handicapped reporter, then lied about it, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He incited violence towards protesters by his supporters at a number of his pre-election rallies, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He told then press sec. Sean Spicer to claim his inaugural crowd "was the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period." Photographs proved the claim to be a lie, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He accused companies of heartlessly outsourcing jobs to foreign countries when his own product lines are manufactured overseas, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He claimed his popular vote loss was due to millions of votes being cast fraudulently, with no evidence, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    After being briefed on the US intel agency's assessment that Russia meddled in our election in order to help him get elected Don said, “these are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.” When the media reported his remarks he claimed it was making up a rift between himself and the intel community, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He promised a border wall would be built and paid for by Mexico. To date there is no funding for a wall, Mexico has refused to pay for it, and there has been no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>
    He has refused to release his tax returns, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He has criticized other men for allegations and admissions of sexual misconduct despite himself being credibly accused of similar behavior, to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>.
    He said repeal and replace of the ACA would be quick and easy.....nope....to no consequence among <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>>g.

    The list goes on and on and on.

    <<MOD EDIT - Rule 2 - Removed Group Insult>> rationale for their continued support of the pathological lying, unstable behavior, legislative failure, divisive remarks, and disparagement of those conducting the Russia investigation, among other things is; fake news, yeah but he is irritating the Left, fake news, this is what he said he would do, fake news, Hillary isn't President, fake news, what do you mean everything isn't awesome,? fake news, he caused the stock market rally (well, not really), fake news, he tells it like it is (well, not really), fake news, MAGA baby (despite no tangible results to date)!

    I don't get it. Many don't. Is there a rational explanation?

    It got worse today. There is very little doubt that there is something wrong with Trump.

    The U.S. needs all the help it can get from Muslim countries in our fight against ISIS. So what does Trump do? After blowing the conference yesterday that was advertised as keeping the government open for business, after blowing a solemn ceremony yesterday honoring Navajo code talkers by calling a U.S. Senator Pocahontas, Trump today blew away the assistance of Muslim countries by insulting all of Islam. In the process he angered our strongest and most reliable ally, Great Britain.

    Trump touched off another racially charged furor on Wednesday by sharing videos from a fringe British ultra nationalist party purportedly showing Muslims committing acts of violence, a move that was swiftly condemned by Britain’s prime minister as well as politicians across the spectrum.

    Trump retweeted the video posts from an ultra nationalist British party leader, Jayda Fransen, who has been charged in the United Kingdom with “religious aggravated harassment.” The videos were titled: “Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!” “Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!” and “Islamist mob pushes teenage boy off roof and beats him to death!”

    The reaction was sharp in London, where Prime Minister Theresa May, leader of the Conservative Party, denounced the President for embracing Britain First, the far-right party of Ms. Fransen. “It is wrong for the president to have done this,” Ms. May’s office said in a statement.

    The official White House position was stated by Sarah Sanders. "Whether it is a real video, the threat is real. I'm not talking about the nature of the video. I think you're focusing on the wrong thing. The threat is real, and that's what the President is talking about."

    In other words, it does not matter if the videos shared by the President are truthful or not. The threat is real. That is the official White House position. My God!

    Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke had this to say concerning Trump's sharing of the videos from a far right British politician purporting to show violence committed by Muslims.

    “Trump retweets video of crippled white kid in Europe being beaten by migrants, and white people being thrown off a roof and then beaten to death,” Duke tweeted. “He's condemned for showing us what the fake news media WON'T. Thank God for Trump! That's why we love him!”

    I really have no more to add. Trump's disgraceful actions this morning speak for themselves.

    Yes, well I think that's why they are happy with him...they feel they have control of the country...they like him as they believe he is doing their bidding...his crazy point of view is theirs, not his...

    it will all crumble...it's bound to...

    Where did you get the idea that Trump was 'disgracing the country'? Are you somehow oblivious to all voices/opinions bar the Left's?

    Hate to break it to ya, but over here (in a far more leftist and socialist nation than yours), there are just as many - if not more - people who think your Democrats are the ones disgracing your country. When we're not directly impacted by Trump, it's considerably easier to have a balanced overview. The view from 'above' is that while Tiny Hands is a piglet, your Progressives are slightly worse.

    There is no rational in politics whether one loves or hates any president, political party or their candidates and elected officials. We just had an election last year that wasn't rational, not one bit rational. Both of our major political parties nominated candidates disliked, not wanted by 60% of all Americans. Yet, those were the choices. It didn't matter who won, when you start off with 60% of the country against you, it is going to be very hard to govern if not darn near impossible.

    Last year you had one candidate which was viewed in a positive light by just 36% of the country vs. the other candidate viewed positively by 38%. That was dumb, not rational.

    ‘He’s better than this,’ says Thomas Barrack, Trump’s loyal whisperer

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...5b912fabc99_story.html?utm_term=.0d6f8c7a3317

    Barrack, in interviews with The Washington Post, said he has been “shocked” and “stunned” by some of the president’s rhetoric and inflammatory tweets. He disagrees with some of Trump’s proposals, including his efforts to ban immigrants from certain Muslim countries and his push for a border wall with Mexico. He wonders why his longtime friend spends so much of his time appealing to the fringes of American politics.

    “He thinks he has to be loyal to his base,” Barrack said. “I keep on saying, ‘But who is your base? You don’t have a natural base. Your base now is the world and America, so you have all these constituencies; show them who you really are.’ In my opinion, he’s better than this.”

    Obama was the original birther. For some reason he said he's a Kenyan foreign exchange student on his college paperwork.

    They are blinded by their own fears and hatred, and would accept a robot if it said it was a Republican who hated Blacks, Mexicans, Women, Muslims, and the like. They refuse to accept the others, even though we are a country that stands for "We the People". Which couldn't be further from the truth.

    The majority of white women voted for Trump.

    You'll notice I said women, not just white women. By the way, if you ever decide to jump on that argument with me, you'd lose that one as well.

    You got a problem with white women? They don't count as women? Then you should have said that he hates women of color because obviously white women love him. Or are you trying to say that they're too stupid to know what's best for themselves and they actually like someone and voted for someone who hates them?

    I'm much more concerned with the detachment from reality a large part of the populace is experiencing in my country than the opinion of Dems from......where ever you are from. Sorry.

    More accurately said, you can't refute anything being discussed so you thought you'd be a child and post a silly picture.

    Nothing to refute. Trump is your president. Sorry you wish it wasn't so, but it is what it is.

    No he didn't say he was a foreign exchange student.. Evidently you don't know that a foreign student has to have PROOF of his nationality like a foreign passport and a STUDENT VISA.

    You are a victim of ignorance.

    Drumpf being prez doesn't equate to there being nothing to refute.

    Emotional outbursts dont change anything. You're entitled to your opinions, but thats all they are... opinions. You know that, right?

    Hey, that's my line. But since you still can't refute anything I wrote about Don's lies or his behavior I'll be moving on now. Have a good one.

    "The list goes on and on and on."

    If the list were titled "Trump provides amusement for his enablers", I would leave well enough alone.

    BUT! You've missed the good stuff
    1. GDP revised to 3.3%
    2. Dow Jones at $23,950 - nearly 6,000 points of growth since he was elected
    3. Consumer Confidence at its highest level since the year 2000.
    4. Tax Reform nearly here
    5. Government interference in jobs and business being removed
    6. Trade Treaties being renegotiated to favor the US and US manufacturing
    7. Open Borders being closed; illegals being sent back
    8. Unemployment at lowest levels in 45 years
    9. H1B visas that favor foreign workers over American workers are being cut back
    10. Managers and corporations who hire illegals are being prosecuted
    11. Sanctuary Cities are being de-sanctified

    The list goes on and on and on.
