As another American here, how can you discern that from less than a month in office? Everybody is saying how bad or good he is but we have yet to tell what he has really done. At this junction it has been a mess. Saying he is the best is like a poll of ten people in a country of a million...long ways to go to for any kind of valid opinion.

Even today he will be at an election rally... he won why the need to generate support. He is an attention seeking whore. His use of twitter, very visible and vocal attacks against the intelligence agencies and the press have been poorly handled. His executive orders have been designed more as highlighting than putting things in place. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...ecutive-orders Some also go against various memorandums, in that they require support of countries he is alienating or active support of intelligence agencies. https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...tial-memoranda Ignoring a totally ineptly and pathetically structured travel ban, yes he needs time to show results. Yes bringing in taxes on companies that manufacturer products outside the Uas for sale in the US, great idea and car companies are a visible target. However, what about Apple ? Will the same rule apply to them as BMW? I can see a few lawyers looking at the structure of any law coming in to place on import tariffs. So far as an outsider looking in, he comes over both visibly and vocally as the not just the worst president but also the worst representation of a great country. |

Inappropriate use of presidential office to influence the business dealings of his family.

Another Yank here. I think Trump has been horrid. He's insulted our allies, reduced our moral authority with his immigration ban on Muslims, taken zero responsibility for the poor implementation of his "orders," and has not disentangled himself from his business. He has insulted our courts, personally attacked judges, lies about our voting process almost daily, and shows zero concern for Russian interference in the election. His family is running up unprecedented security costs while globe trotting for their business affairs. He's rolled back investor protections and unleashed the same Wall Street sharks he accused Clinton of being in bed with. His attorney general is a disgrace and his Education secretary is an unqualified joke. His Secretary of State has zero diplomatic experience, as does his son-in-law who he's put in charge of negotiating terms of peace between Israelis and Palestinians. He tweets statements directly conflicting with decades of US foreign policy that his team to walk back. He embarrassed himself with China. He has Sean Spicer as a press secretary. He's shown more interest in the ratings of The Apprentice than on the N. Korean missile test. He's used the office to insult a major retailer's business decision to stop carrying his daughter's line. He's enriching himself through his office by conducting govt business in his hotels. I won't even touch the love affair with Putin.
The revelations that his team was having discussions with Russians before the election and the inauguration is a huge scandal and disgrace. The media is NOT the enemy and I for one hope they don't rest until they blow this thing wide open. IMO, he has diminished the office and our standing in the world - in the span of a month. |

Hence my original question, why was he ever allowed to get in the position to run for president? This is surely the fault of the American legal/government systems not having measures in place to prevent such an absurdly unqualified person being allowed to run for president!? |

The man's lying, hypocritical nepotism is breathtaking. Of course it might be the case that all this reality show nonsense is just a smokescreen for all the good works the Trump administration is doing behind the scenes |

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narc...ality_disorder
"Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a long-term pattern of abnormal behavior characterized by exaggerated feelings of self-importance, an excessive need for admiration, and a lack of understanding of others' feelings. People affected by it often spend a lot of time thinking about achieving power or success, or about their appearance. They often take advantage of the people around them. The behavior typically begins by early adulthood, and occurs across a variety of situations. People with narcissistic personality disorder are characterized by their persistent grandiosity, excessive need for admiration, and a disdain and lack of empathy for others. These individuals often display arrogance, a sense of superiority, and power-seeking behaviors. Narcissistic personality disorder is different from having a strong sense of self-confidence; people with NPD typically value themselves over others to the extent that they disregard the feelings and wishes of others and expect to be treated as superior regardless of their actual status or achievements. In addition, people with NPD may exhibit fragile egos, an inability to tolerate criticism, and a tendency to belittle others in an attempt to validate their own superiority." |

Anyway on Trump, it's very early to say IMO. I detested his predecessor, and would not have wanted Hilary to win. I like his approach to Israel and the UK, he's totally right shaking NATO up a bit on spending, and surely there is nothing wrong with America first? I just can't stand the badly managed communications, the bluster, the spin, the tweeting, the whole 'alternative facts' nonesence etc. I like the way he's one of the few world leaders who actually acknowledges openly the threat that is radical Islam. My main concern with him is the links with Russia - is he compromised etc? He's apparently doing nothing about a US destroyer being 'buzzed' and has (again apparently) ignored the Russians breaking a gta missile treaty. What's going on there I wonder. |

Now, dicks have drive and clarity of vision, but they are not clever. They smell pussy and they want a piece of the action. And you thought you smelled some good old pussy, and have brought your two little mincey ****** balls along for a good old time. But you've got your parties muddled up. There's no pussy here, just a dose that'll make you wish you were born a woman. Like a prick, you are having second thoughts. You are shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with you. And the fact that you've got "feeling" written down the side of your arguement... And the fact that I've got facts On mine side... Should precipitate your balls into shrinking, along with your presence. Now... Fuck off! |
