Have you considered that authoritarian fake strong man felon Trump is going way too far in the other direction?!? Consider that he is ruling that the U.S. government can't even acknowledge the EXISTANCE of transgender people. 1.5 percent or not, they do exist. It's one thing to ban transgender people from competitive sports which is an issue that obviously does have strong majority support. It's another thing entirely to try to ERASE an entire group of people. That's a totally fascist move. Do you get the distinction? As far as mainstream lesbian/gay support for transgender people's civil rights, consider that the maga movement is STARTING with trashing civil rights for transgender Americans but already moving to attack more general lesbian/gay civil rights as well. It's already started. Cases trying to reverse marriage equality will definitely be headed to the supreme court to same lying "justices" who swore that Roe vs. Wade was settled law.

Trump's response -- he calls her NASTY. Yet he calls himself a Christian and Christians call him one of their own. I guess not putting his hand on a bible (two were offered by Melania) is kind of a hint.

Yeah it's weird. Western sanctions have isolated Russia so that they are degraded to turn to North Korea and Iran for help. Trump is isolating America all by himself. The world could hope to call his first term as a fluke. Now it's fair for the world to say Trump is what America is. Will America ever recover from the damage?

A man you would buy a used car or used insurrectionist felon from with total confidence!

So you're with maga -- cruelty is the point.

Compared to Trump he's a flippin' saint!

Total GARBAGE.

Deflection.

Yeah I know you'd need to be a complete moron to have believed that promise. I wonder how many of his voters did. Another big part of his lying campaign message was that he was going to be a peace president. That will be news to the people of Panama, Greenland, and Denmark. In fact he basically declared war on Panama in his inauguration.

Reports here indicate that sometimes they will do that and sometimes they will demand more tax than is due because of total ignorance about how DTAs work. So I deeply question relying too much on what offices say as they may change their tunes on a dime.

Any foreign leader wanting to deal with that criminal raving madmen knows that they MUST suck up to him. So can't blame any of them for playing that game.

Trade wars happen. Like any wars, much easier to start than to end. But this is what the American people narrowly voted for. They certainly didn't vote for invading Panama and Greenland but they did vote for Trump's cockamamie tariffs.

Absolutely. He's degrading the USA brand bigly and with two terms, the damage is going be super hard to repair later. You know, a key part of Putin's anti-western propaganda for many years has been, yeah we suck, but America sucks as bad as we do, so you have no grounds to criticize us. Tragically it's hard not to acknowledge that Trump is proving him right.

Trump realizes almost nothing about anything. He's great at marketing. He's garbage at governing. His attention span is about the last guy he talked to and now all those guys are loyalist often oligarchs. Fasten your seatbelts.

Well, he has announced that he actually WILL impose a 25 percent tariff on the U.S. closest neighbors -- Canada and Mexico. Tentative date -- February 1. Interesting that 25 percent sounds somewhat moderated from previous threats but 25 percent is 25 percent and not chopped liver. I bet the avocado toast generations are gonna love the prices increase.

Highly unlikely but we'll never know either way. In any case, history will show he made a huge mistake running for reelection in the first place.

You just described convicted felon insurrectionist Trump.

He said Spain was in BRICS, dude. So he either has dementia or he's a total moron with no business being president. You pick. Kay?

Trump being Trump is no excuse, dude! It might work a little in his insane speech. But pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers when posing as a law and order president is an ACTION. DISGUSTING!

Dementia.

Proved nothing of the kind.

It sends the message that he will rule as an authoritarian strong man in as much of a dictatorial manner as he can get away with. Consider his awesome power today. He can now order murders of opponents telling the hit men he will pardon them, and be fully immune from prosecution himself for the murder orders (thanks to SCOTUS which he owns) as long as the orders are done as part of his presidential actions. FACT.

Convicted felon Trump actually loves violent felons as long as they're white and doing the violence for him. Law and order president my arse.

If he does nothing, you're right, as he inherits the best economy in the world. But if he carries through with his insane destructive promises, it will be a total caca-fest. Based on day one, it looks like he's going for it.

No tears here. Some vomiting for sure.
