If Trump were a true Canadian, he would immediately declare cyber war against the hackers of your company!

 

It's all about national integrity or something.

Like he did a few weeks ago on the White House Lawn? He riffed for over an hour, live on TV. He just did major press interviews for the last few days in Europe. He's doing tons of press today.

 

Trump does more press and is more available to questions than any other modern POTUS. Saying he's not is reinventing reality. 

Good.  That's what he should be doing.  I believe your statement about him doing more than others is off base.

Is the Director of National Intelligence wrong about our country being attacked?  Or are you that much smarter than those trusted with the security of our nation?

Look for yourself, you'll see the numbers. How many press conferences did Obama give a month? A year? How 'bout W? 


Trump tweets directly to the people nearly every day (no POTUS has ever done that - for better or worse). He does more "impromptu" gaggles than any of the past three presidents ever have on their way to and from Marine One or AF1. He's moments away from his second press conference in 5 days... 

 

I just think you're stretching reality to meet your opinions on the man. 

 

Completely separate from this subject, and not to boil this down to partisanship (I'm just curious because I'm not familiar with your posts) - prior to Trump's campaign were you of a particular political persuasion? Do you consider yourself a Republican/Democrat/Conservative/Liberal/Independent etc? If you don't wish to answer, I understand.

People may differ on the motivations of senior administration officials to stretch the truth in their public pronouncements.  But few people should differ on whether they're always 100% honest & transparent.

Second-most.  James Taylor serenading the French was the most humiliating.


I thought Obama bowing to every foreign head of state was most humiliating, but the James Taylor thing was pretty high up there.

The media already wrote their dumb and vague hate pieces.

 

Dude....what is dumb and vague it DT...you guys are such homers you can't even see it....He says whatever his current audience wants to hear....and thus says nothing at all....Goes to NATO Summit/UK and rips NATO and May for the base...then stands next to May and NATO leaders and praises them...WTF....

 

This is exactly how a real estate developer works....Tells the bank what he wants to hear, tells the tenant what they want to hear, tells land owner what they want to hear....and guess what happens when the ends don't meet - and if you are smart,  do not have a conscience - you can somehow end up with a gain when others lose ....which is exactly how pretty everything DT has done has ended up in the shitter for investors (unless your goal is to launder money)....

 

The only lasting thing DT has done is lower taxes by not paying bills...which aint exactly work....and swung the court right.....which you guys think is great....for some reason....

"We can't allow this to go unchallenged (as long as Obama isn't in office)".

Do you consider yourself a Republican/Democrat/Conservative/Liberal/Independent etc? If you don't wish to answer, I understand. 

I consider myself independent.  I voted for Johnson/Weld in the last election because I felt the two candidates presented by the two major parties represented the worst choice in the history of our country.  I tend towards the conservative side on fiscal and foreign policy matters, towards the liberal on social matters.  As far as the conservative side, I believe in true conservatism and not what passes for conservatism today, which to me is far more right wing reactionary, jingoistic in nature.  I believe in very limited federal government, and limited spending.  I believe strongly in our role as the superpower of the world, law and order at home, etc., which is why the current trend towards alienating our allies and cozying up to guys like Kim and Putin sickens me. 

 

My opinions of the man?  As for his policies,  I was for tax cuts, but much more for big spending cuts to bring the size of government in order and cut this gigantic debt which is being funded by our enemies.  That cannot continue.  Do I think he's a pig that has no business being president, given his attacks against women (and with two daughters, I'm biased of course), his continued stretching of the truth, the whole Russia thing (I believe when it's over his campaign will have been shown to be actively involved with a foreign power to work against our country)?  Yes.  Do I think Hillary would have been better?  God no.  and Sanders even worse.

 

What I think our country needs is a President that answers to the populace, and that accurately reflects the feelings of the majority of the electorate.  I wanted Jeb Bush last cycle; good experience as governor, solid fiscal record, and I could have lived with some of his social policies because no one person will ever check off all my boxes.  WWe need a moderate republican or Democrat who can untie the 80% or so of those in this country who are like me, conservative and liberal minded on different things (some lean more one way than others).  Our country will never be what it should be until this insane polarization from both sides is gotten rid of.

 

Hope that brings my feelings into view for you.  I appreciate our dialog.  Others here, not so much.

i would think that is snippet y'all would praise as someone seeing the light. He acknowledges Trump has done been tough on Russia, maybe even tougher than Obama, but also that Obama got them kicked out of the G8 etc. His point was Trump keeps saying "cant do anything about it, it was under Obama's watch"...did I misunderstand the salient point of that snippet?

His last bit - "We can't allow this to go unchallenged (as long as Obama isn't in office)"

 

Look back to 2014 and listen to his press. He only cared about Russian expansion and aggression post January 2017.

I heard 2 from each side (Russian/Western press). But could be 4 for each side. 

(Putin got to speak first, someone check on Tibs, make sure he doesn't need a defibrillator. deTibrillator)

Putin: "Russia has never, and will never, interfere in domestic affairs inside the United States." :lol:
Added: "But I'd be happy to see evidence that proves otherwise." :lol:

 

Putin: "Denuclearization in the DPRK is progressing rapidly in large part due to President Trump."
