In reply to the discussion: Gergen: Speech 'most divisive' I've heard from a president [View all]Solly Mack

Unless you're into hate, revenge, pettiness, and ignorance,Trump has nothing to say to you or for you.
It seems that there are times, all too often, when people are shocked Trump is behaving as Trump.
He will never be "presidential". He will never forgive America for his losing the popular vote. He will never get over being so intensely disliked. Say what he will, it all bothers him. He knows he is unfit to hold office. He knows it and he despises everyone else who knows it. He can't hide his shortcomings and edit out what he doesn't want the world to see, like he could on his TV show.
He blames everyone else for that. He will never blame himself.

Yes. Makes you wonder about people who associate with him. And then, about half of the US too.

If you didn't vote for him, you're his personal enemy and an enemy of the state
