    Thank you, you just proved my point, and I am not a liberal. I am a retired Marine officer and a moderate conservative Republican.

    Somehow I'm not buying your argument. In fact you may be proving my point. During the campaign most of the complaints against Trump was over the stupid things he said, his habit of making up facts as he goes, and his obvious lack of manners. Most of the complaints against Hillary were Republican made-up scandals.

    To further illustrate; only those who get their information from right wing sources deny global warming and think that the economic crash at the end of lil' Bush's presidency was caused by Democrats forcing banks to give mortgages to poor dumb minorities.

    No, by insulting everyone between the mountains repeatedly.

    I can assure you, I am not kidding. You are intelligent. Take a look around you. What you say is true, and the focus of that hostility is Trump. What is happening is historical. Not since Lincoln has the election of a President been so divisive. He is not only dividing our nation, he is separating our country from our allies as mentioned in the OP. He is not making any attempts to heal the division. He is doing everything to make it worse. Review the OP. You know that is true.

    Yes, he won the election, but he lost the popular by nearly three million votes. He is the President, but he doesn't have a mandate.

    You know what said was true. You didn't question a statement in the OP. All you did was blame the messenger.

    LOL, you still don't get it, do you, Mr. Informed :) The mud slinging notwithstanding, Trump campaigned on issues, in fact pocket book issues - trade, outsourcing, borders, immigration, the forgotten americans, foreign alliances and foreign entanglements.... You may disagree with his views, but his campaign was on issues. Hillary campaign was race/gender bating, Trump hatefest and fearmongering and nothing else. That's what decided the election as it always had before, the pocketbook issues.

    Again you've been duped by dem talking points. The overwhelming majority of Trump voters believe in climate change. It's just that they prioritize the Washington corruption, the incompetence and arrogance of ruling classes, liberal PC insanity, jobs, foreign wars, national debt, outsourcing, illegal immigration etc (in no particular order) way above climate change and Trump's locker room conversations. Duh. Sorry dude, you're the confused one.

    You lost the election, he is delivering on his campaign promises. I've named a dozen things your side did to divide the country and demonstrate that it would never under any circumstances accept his presidency. What has your side done to reconcile and reunite the country. Name one thing.

    Sandy, the roll-out of the executive order could have been better, and I'm sure the administration will learn from it. There shouldn't have been the confusion at the airports involving people with visas and green cards.

    But this is no reason to be induced to hysteria. Understand that the Democrats and the MSM have been waiting for this opportunity to leap on the slightest mistake by the Trump administration, and they have done so.

    You talk about Trump being divisive, but it is true that the Dems have done nothing to unite the country. Nothing!

    Calm down, Sandy, and don't be led by the manufactured hysterics of the left.

    Liberals doing their best, crying that "Trump has torn this country apart".

    It's almost too funny to listen to.

    Trump, president for 12 days. And Obama was president for 8 years of unrest.

    Who was tearing the country apart??

    Trump hasn't torn this country apart. Yet. But he's working on it.

    Obama and his rhetoric divided us: rich vs. poor, white vs. black, old vs. young, rural vs. urban, Christian vs. Muslim, religious vs. secular, etc., etc.

    As a 54 year old white guy in the upper-middle (more middle than upper) class, I was on the losing end of every Obama decision.

    No they weren't. Trump's executive order was cleared by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel
    She deserved to be fired.
    Obstructionist Democrats are holding up his confirmation for cheap political Grandstanding.
    Yup. The president runs the Executive Branch.
    No he isn't.
    Nonsense.
    Oh, now they REALLY hate us... eh?
    50 of 57 Islamic States are completely unaffected.
    American support his order by near 2/1 margins.
    AS THE HOST, WE HAVE EVERY RIGHT AND THE DUTY TO CLEAR VISITORS FROM THESE FAILED JIHADIST STATES BEFORE ALLOWING THEM INTO OUR CIVILIAN POPULATIONS.

    He is not tearing this country apart in a vacumn. The Republican party voters are fully culpable. they had 17 different candidates proposing to take on the 'weak' and 'fatally flawed' Democratic candidate. If she was as bad as they claim, many of those candidates would have beaten her. Everyone knew how controversial, impulsive and divisive this man by the middle of March. This man is 100% their legacy and their moral burden to bear. He is exactly what he was in the republican primaries and the general election.

    Actually, the MSM is tearing things apart. If they would report everything even remotely accurately and even handed, stupid people wouldn't be crying in the streets. Trump temporarily bans ALL people from certain countries and they interpret it as Banning ALL MUSLIMS. Trump states FACTS about ILLEGALS and the MSM reports it as Trump hates immigrants. Trump calls Hillary nasty and the MSM pluralizes it. The MSM calls Trump racist due to 1 suit from 40 yrs ago, in which Trump wasn't found guilty. He shut up the idiots like every corporation does, since simply paying them off is easier/cheaper than fighting it. Hillary calls black people super predators and claims she carries hot sauce in her bag, because black people like spicy food and wants to relate, and Trump is racist? Talk about trying to tear the country apart.

    You have Celebs absolutely beside them (*)(*)(*)(*)ing selves that refugees and illegal immigrants can't enter the country because its not constitutionally legal, but they won't lift a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing finger to actually house them specifically will they? The most outspoken, most able aren't willing to (*)(*)(*)(*) up their lives are they? They want you to donate and do it right? (*)(*)(*)(*) that, it's all a game folks. Liberalism is a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing disease. Please, at least fight for your breath of reality.

    I sort of feel some sympathy for the board author of all author.

    I felt like he does when Obama got elected and sat in his office. GOD, it was awful.

    I wondered if I could make it to the next president.

    I am so thankful I did not write Trump off.

    Let's stop stumbling all over our own feet.

    I must get you to reply [MENTION=71623]Sandy Shanks[/MENTION]

    Reverse the outcome

    Give Trump the popular vote

    Give to Hillary the electoral vote

    Sandy, then would you call Hillary the winner?

    You make it seem to you as if his electoral college win was nothing at all.

    How many times was Obama sued nationally? Did he ever have a moment where he was not dealing with lawsuits?

    Everyone who denies global warming votes Republican.

    Trump is as ill-informed as most of his followers. I listened to his inaugural speech. When be got to the part where all the cities are run down and full of violence and poverty. A line I hear quite often from conservatives. I live in an inner city neighborhood and everytime I hear a conservative go on about the crime, violence, and poverty I am reminded how intellectually dishonest conservatives are.
