In recent weeks, Scarborough has called him a "bumbling dope", resembling "a kid who pooped in his pants", while Brzezinski has mocked members of the administration as "lobotomised". Hypocrisy, no surprise there. When lefty celebs, commentators, "journalists" constantly deride Trump with vile speech and personal insults, of course this does not erode the reputation of the Office of the President. Each to their own. Personally I would find it reprehensible behaviour for similar social media commentary by the leader of my country. IMO Trump's negative and vulgar Twitter comments are extremely low gutter politics and an ugly character flaw. Trump - MAGA - an enormous deceit.

While the press and resistance members are whining about the tweet, he gets the job done. If you don't think these tweets are cheese in the maze, look at what Trump did today while the fake news media was focused on PsychoJoe & Yoko singing "Give MSNBC a Chance": *got a new sugar deal with Mexico *imposed sanctions on China for unfair economic banking practices *held an energy roundtable *DEFINED THE "CLOSE FAMILY" under the USSC approved vetting very tightly, excluding grandparents, nephews, etc. HUGE! *Saw the House pass two important immigration bills. Did you hear of any of this? No. Media is totally focused on fake news about the tweets . . . which is exactly how Trump wants it.

Too bad Smith died. https://www.vox.com/2017/6/29/15896582/trump-russia-michael-flynn-wsj A new report raises some big questions about Michael Flynn and Russian hackers Quote The Wall Street Journal describes how one Trump supporter reached out to hackers — and dropped Flynn’s name. “He said, ‘I’m talking to Michael Flynn about this — if you find anything, can you let me know?’” said Eric York, a computer-security expert from Atlanta who searched hacker forums on Mr. Smith’s behalf for people who might have access to the emails. ... ... In phone conversations, Mr. Smith told a computer expert he was in direct contact with Mr. Flynn and his son, according to this expert. ... The expert said that based on his conversations with Mr. Smith, he understood the elder Mr. Flynn to be coordinating with Mr. Smith’s group in his capacity as a Trump campaign adviser.

The most hilarious thing about this entire disgusting trump saga is that there are still people that think the horrible clown will change. Quote Trump No Longer Seems Able to Hide His Raw Misogyny. Good. ... When you’re under pressure, it can be harder to hide your true self. And Trump’s true self is a pig. ... If there is the barest sliver of consolation, it’s that Trump appears almost as miserable and anxiety-ridden as we are. He’s losing the tiny bit of control he had. It’s better for Trump to show us all who he really is than to let his lackeys pretend he’s remotely worthy of his office. Every time he tweets, he reveals his presidency as a disgusting farce. Let’s hope he keeps doing it. http://www.slate.com/blogs/xx_factor/2017/06/29/trump_s_misogynist_tweets_about_mika_brzezinski.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good job you and your kin were not around with a rope! I guess the operative word here is 'Apparently'. Apparently you think you hear something and then apparently you believe it without a shred of reality or evidence. The words you write were indeed said - not recently and they were said by Joe Scarborough. But don't let the truth creep in the way of hateful rhetoric eh! So if you guys seem to agree with 'guilty by association', how does it feel to have treason against your nation hanging over your heads? When do you become ashamed of your nationality and the reaming rimming out you are giving the Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, the bar for their behavior, and words aired to public space, is different. As for respect for the office of the President, two points: (1) Trump himself showed none of that during Obama's term, and (2) Trump shows none of that during his own term.

Other than (as detailed above) many of the items mentioned are dodgy, have tenuous relationship with fact or doubtfully included much by way of Trump's involvement, there's this - a whole lot of the policies pushed under Trump's administration are not popular with all voters.
