Freedom to criticize leaders IS enshrined in the constitution, no?

First Amendment and is how many are killed in other countries, especially Iran as we keep seeing up until today. If we elect them, we can trash them, as long as they aren't threatened it's like writing a bad review, which also should be legal everywhere.

He's rich and he's president and you're not. lol

Al Capone was also rich and powerful.... until he wasn't. Hopefully we'll achieve the same result with the new conman in chief.

Was Al Capone arrested or taken out by hitmen in a drive by shooting?

Not sure what you mean, exactly.

Is Trump America's dumbest President?

It was only a few weeks ago that he found out that the word "dumb" has a silent "b" as the last letter.

Case closed.

It was pretty obvious how stupid he is when he was asked to spell orange and his response was do you mean the color or the fruit?

While you're focused on trump, the rest of the middle east is focused on Iran. Trump could be the dumbest or smartest president ever depending on you think was smart (obama?)

If Trump is an 80 IQ individual, how about the leadership of Iran? They are currently forcing the rest of the middle east to side with Israel. So while you folks here read some online journalist to make you emotional about politics, those of us based in reality are moving away from religious extremism, as business speaks louder than random opinions online.

Have any of you looked at the Israeli shekel lately? It's at all time highs. That's not an opinion. That is the market speaking reality. If you haven't invested yet in what you believe in then I'm sure you words here will have some sort of impact on anyone. I don't even know what Iran's currency is at the moment but I'm pretty sure you can buy in pretty cheap at the moment. Have yourself a nice vacation there

You may want to fix your screen name.

Is he the dumbest? He is an astonishingly uneducated man who is completely out of his depth. Consequently he is unable anticipate complex, geopolitical consequences. His narcissism makes him vulnerable to foolish whims after he has been praised by sycophants and manipulators offering advice. Unfortunately his second administration consists of toadying lickspittles, none of whom have the knowledge or the courage to steer him away from bad decisions. He will depart many billions richer leaving a trail of global damage in his wake.

With a history of extreme violence and the killing of thousands of citizens. Burning of cities and enslaving children and women. Not as "great" as some think. Many look at him wanting power over everything, and others look at him trying to integrate nations.

In his De virtute Alexandri Plutarchus already raised the question whether the conquests of Alexander were due to his (military) fortune or to his genius. There is no doubt that Alexander was indeed a military genius, who won every single battle in which he took part.

But it is far less clear whether he was also a political genius, a man with a vision for humanity, who wanted to unite all peoples into a multicultural world.

One has rather the impression that Alexander was more interested in his personal power and glory at the cost of thousands of human lives. At the end of his life, he was estranged from his Macedonian troops and from the Greek cities, and he had also eliminated most of his Persian collaborators. His last plans were not about the overdue organisation of his enormous empire, but about new conquests in Arabia and Carthago.

Trump will certainly be remembered, for all his power, ego, mistakes and things achieved. The same with Hitler.

Please tell us all about what Trump has achieved.

You need a sarcasm alert with that reply, people might think you are serious.

If you have a PC, you can easily look things up if you're that concerned what Trump is doing. I don't really care myself as Americans are going to live their lives no matter what happens this tenure. There's another president coming soon enough that can try to fix the problems Trump made in this one, like Trump tried to do after Biden, Obama and the rest.

Also, if you can prove he didn't do certain things, you can add that with evidence.

If I was a currency trader, I would not be hedging my money in a country spending a lot of its budget on war materiel. I would be putting it into the Swiss franc.

Good thing you're not a currency trader but a mere slide rule jockey, because if you'd followed the currency markets, and the DXY in particular, you'd know that the USD is doing very well and killing the Swiss Franc.

Do you think that somebody will know the 47th's name in 2000 years?

He would also have to beat Alexander the Great - who is famous for never losing a battle, conquering the Persian Empire, and building one of the largest empires in the ancient world by age 32.

Uuups - too late. Sorry for you...

Most Asians have never heard of Alexander the Great lol

I see. Success and prosperity, is it? Well, that just shows Americans are an ungrateful lot, right?

Why say my opinion as if it mattered? Better to go by facts. I posted them and there are many links if you want to research the truth of what Americans have done, instead of going by other's biased opinions.

There is no usual anything, let alone any deflections. That's others here agenda.

Of course, many dislike him. Nothing new. Americans really don't care about this war as much as they'd like to see things change where they save money. This is what all of us have been waiting all our lives for. As far as those links, I was asked to show what Trump has achieved, and it's there. Just like all presidents before him. they've all done good and bad, and the next one down the line has to pick up the pieces from the tenure before.

A link to a White House press release is factual?

You really don't have any critical thinking skills, do you?

A better question might be if the USA is the dumbest country freely putting that hot grifting mess into power TWICE!

Lol! A link to the Trump WH propaganda! 😂

Having said that, he statistically cannot fail everything, so there must be a few true achievements hidden among propaganda lies.

You really are a clueless fellow aren't you? Not a good thing for a man in his 70's to assume so much.

You wanted me to show you what Trump's achieved, and i provided 2 links. If you had a computer, you can also look this information up, instead of trying to demean others you know nothing about, and who are likely a lot brighter than the people you're used to. Every insult you've directed towards me has been wrong, and that has you looking like an unloaded gun.

There are multiple links you can find if you want to know what Trump's done. Of course, being yourself, any things that are placed before you, you will dismiss. That's what having Trump on your brain does to some.

Everything can be propaganda, which doesn't mean it's false. Look them up, and see if you can prove them false. There's quite a few things he's done which can be easily proven, if you spent some time. Like I mentioned, I'm not political, being in the middle, where you wait to see the truth instead of hating one side or worshiping the other.

I know. Some who have never been there or some who have visited judge everyone by what Trump does or what they see while on vacation or working in a limited area for awhile. . They think because people voted him in it's their fault he does wrong things.

Every politician on earth screws some things up and fixes others. Trump is not how all Americans think. Many are turning their backs on him because of this war, not yet seeing the endgame. He's just another in the long line of promise makers.

I don't hate any nations because of what some of their citizens have done.
