I thought this was about Trump and Streep, not what type of person has a differing opinion to yourself, or who follows who. Have you ever heard of the word, civility? If not, please look it up and please use some. And yes, like you I have gone off topic but not to denigrate you, just to ask you to stick to the topic and show civility to others, as you would like them to show to you.

It's just it's very difficult for me to comprehend how American voters are able to support and vote for such a habitual liar and to use a variation of your word, a denigrator, of so many sections of society. Is education that bad in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussion is about any choice, it's about what an actress said to the PEOTUS. His response, like yours, was nothing more than a deflection. He attacks her acting because he can't justify his comments. He is a total embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Interesting take on his thin skin, most concerned about the reporter not highlighting his score, when in fact, they weren't keeping score. FWIW, he is a notorious cheat, as are other famous people, at golf. LESSONS FROM PLAYING GOLF WITH TRUMP He wasn’t upset that one of the article’s illustrations had been of a golf ball wearing a turf toupee that looked a lot like his deeply mysterious hair, or that I’d mentioned his asking two little girls at Mar-a-Lago if they wanted to be supermodels when they grew up, or that I’d described nearly tipping him five dollars after momentarily mistaking him for his club’s parking-lot attendant, or that I’d written that he’d introduced one of his club’s members to me not by name but as “the richest guy in Germany.” He was upset that I hadn’t written that he’d shot 71—a very good golf score, one stroke under par. http://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/lessons-from-playing-golf-with-trump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe she's spot on in you eyes but others have differing opinions so why can't you respect theirs or is it because you believe you're always right, that others are not.
