....divisive, lawbreaking buffoon.
Why should we accept anything he says as credible?
Why should his supporters be given any credibility?
Would you ever want someone with these behavioral traits as a friend?
Why does the media continue to promote these false equivalencies?
Where is the room for compromise?

But he did wake us up to the fact that 1 third of the electorate are bad people who cannot be trusted, ever.

(507 posts)have reached that conclusion yet. But it does seem that each and every day, each and every idiotic statement that rolls off of that snakes tongue, more and more decide what a truly detestable snake 45 is. History will judge tRump one day, History will also judge those who stood by and agreed with him.

Which Media? Say who you mean. Be specific, or don't say it.
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez are part of "The Media". Are they who you're referring to?

And agreeing on an infrastructure bill requires no compromise. Just practical thinking. But evidently thats not enough these days. It proves anything can be politically weaponized if youre Trump.

(6,007 posts)You see him tweet something stupid and they all discuss it as if it was real. Like when he says he doesn't want a war in Iran. They say, "Well, Trump just said he doesn't want war." As if that was what he really thinks. They take it as some actual priority, whereas WE ALL KNOW, that in a couple of hours he will be calling for troops and bombs. They have to stop taking his words seriously and just report on what his administration is doing, behind the scenes.

(19,298 posts)We not only cannot work with or compromise with him, we cannot work or compromise with the entire Rethuglican party. Obama tried his best and went well above and beyond the call of duty, but proved only that those people have no soul, no morals, no character and no patriotism. The only way to deal with them is to root them out root and branch. Until that is done, this country will not grow and will only teeter on the verge of collapse. In fact. The Rethugs want it to collapse so that they can remake it in Russia's kelptocratic image.
