Press on Mr. President, there are far better ways to spend your time! If you really think he is a smart man, than my friend you need some help. This clown is nothing more than a coward! He will keep running away from everything and everybody that doesn't agree with his lying BS! He doesn't understand anything, the constitution, being honest, respect, etc. All this clown does is only for his own wellbeing and not for the people that supported him. By not going to this event, he only shows again what a -/;:(€& he is! he like to give sh*t to everybody, but omg, he can not take it! I'm sure he will watch it on the television, than start tweeting his insane responds. I can read them already; everything is a lie and it's all fake news. And the trumpeteers swallow his BS.

Jingthing Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 (edited) About the question of whether trump deserves respect, alluded to with the absurd labeling of him as a gentleman. Well, the OFFICE of the presidency deserves respect, but when a human being that is so utterly deplorable and irredeemable as trump finds a way to occupy that great office ... does he really deserve respect? I've heard many times that when you meet him personally, he's very charming, and I believe that, he's a CON MAN so of course he is.

However, the thoughts driving my POV are better articulated in the article below. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/24/us/politics/stephen-bannon-cpac-speech.html?ref=politics&_r=0 Bannon's agenda was pretty much out there, for those interested. Most weren't, hence some of the outrage expressed. While it can be argued (and I, for one, will agree) that Trump is probably less of a "true believer" in any ideology, a segment of those voting for him did so not necessarily due to his qualities as a candidate, but because he represented a change. Any kind of change. Even one which would wreck havoc on anything and everything. Perhaps, for some, this was even the main selling point. Such positions and views were aired on this forum as well. As far as this segment goes, that's one thing Trump's administration is doing pretty well - namely, destabilizing the established order of things (often referred to as the "status quo"). Inciting the people against the media, putting its integrity under question, limiting access and public snubs are all part of that. You, me and others may not like it - but I'm sure it plays well for many of Trump's supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for presidents there are rules and conventions/traditions; everyone has to attend events sometimes against their will (e.g. family-in-law visits, certain parties, work-related obligations, etc) The sooner he disappears, the better it is for usa, the World and humanity... In fairness, media have been pulling out already. This is Trump doing his usual, where he sees that he'd end up looking foolish, pulls out, and then claims that he did it first #trumplies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijb Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 2 hours ago, Jingthing said: It's an ironic, though predictable, twist considering the credible theories that the reason trump ran for president in the first place was because Obama HUMILIATED trump at a press correspondent's dinner. It's well understood trump hates being humiliated more than anything else, but bully in chief that he is, REVELS in humiliating others. (Ask Chris Christie.) I think that's why Trump decided to run. This mess is Obama's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stargeezr Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 President George Bush did not like broccolli , and Donald Trump does not like some of the press, guess everyone has their own opinions of what they do not like.

ilostmypassword Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Actually, I've always thought that this dinner was a bad idea. Anything that encourages the press and the president to be chummy is not a good thing. And we had a clear demonstration of how chummy they were when Steven Colbert hosted the event. He roasted both the president and the press. And both clearly were not pleased. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/04/24/this-is-the-most-controversial-speech-ever-at-the-correspondents-dinner-and-i-was-there/?utm_term=.c831e76da386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
