What is Trump's Most Substantial Presidential Shortcoming?

A Broadway show? That was an interesting article. I can see him self promoting a Broadway play with movie rites about himself. I guess he fathoms himself with the late great Jimmy Walker and I'm sure his play would be a musical. Someone should be prepared to write a song "Make America Great Again" and have it on the shelf and ready to go.

 

I'm sure it is. Likely you will still sniff his boots even after he is charged and impeached.

That is your right....just understand that you folks OWN it all now and will be held accountable in the end.

 

Trump has only submitted one piece of legislation so far and that is his plan for health care. He had a select group of republicans put together their plan behind CLOSED DOORS, intentionally not inviting the democrats to participate in the new plan. They (the republicans) are the ones who are blocking the passing of the bill. They're thinking now that it might be a good idea to invite the democrats to join them in coming up with something that will be approved. Up until now the republicans thought they could do whatever they wanted without the need of involving the democrats. They're finding out differently.

 

When I say unify the country that is a relative thing because people on the extremes are not going to unify. yeah, Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders are going to be unhappy regardless.

And yeah some people want trumps head on a plate
But many of those people are just responding to Trumps buffoonish tweet storms
I challenge anyone to go back and look at the history of attacks on Trump.
The very large majority of them originate from some sort of controversy old and really unproductive tweet

Think of all the pointless controversys we have endured.
Did we really need to debate the size of the inauguration crowd Or whether Obama bugged Trump Tower. Or whether trump really did win the popular vote. Or whether Trump's electoral vote history was massive and larger than any other president. The list goes on and on and on .

Now, I suppose we take all that crap away. And suppose that instead, we have Trump calling for meetings of democratic and GOP lawmakers to get stuff worked out together
lots of people just want the country to work....and they want that whole lot more than just trying to get trumps head on a plate.

If trumps first priority was to unify the country, his popularity would be well above 50% in my opinion

 

We would like to own it but there are a few obstacles. He wont be charged and impeached.

 

It would be very sad if they pass a bill with a lot of candy from the Democrats. Then again they deserve it for being so bold headed. Isn't politics fun?

 

Just keep telling yourself that.

 

There will only be one thing that prevents trump from being impeached and that is if he resigns.

 

We really don't know what Trump is doing in that regard because the MSM won't report on anything good he may do. Unless you watch Fox news you will never hear anything good.

I don't believe opinion polls any more than I did the polls during the campaign. Those polls during the campaign were not accurate at all so why should opinion polls be any different?

 

He was legally elected so get over it and move on.

 

Friend, he tweets are clearly not being censored... so f he is trying to unify the country, trying to move beyond partisan bickering... that evidence would be in his tweets.., and I expect that you will.
Now confront me with the evidence

I am now waiting

 

That would be true but Trump is already rich...

 

To me it is his lack of objectivity.

 

Interesting perspective, thanks!

 

The MSM gives Trump kudos when he deserves them. Twice I've heard them give him credit. First, after his tribute to the Navy Seal. Second, when he addressed Congress. When Trump acts presidential, they give him credit. Trouble is, the day after he addressed Congress, he started tweating the lies about Obama, and the MSM reported the news, along with it's gross inaccuracies.

 

I've always felt Trump's downfall was going to be the "replace" part of "repeal and replace". It's like getting a chance to repeal the devil, and then insisting on replacing him with some other devil at the same time. There is no political capital to be gained with such an absurd agenda.

Unless Trump can facilitate some sort of a significant repeal of ObamaCare, even if it's just a repeal of the individual and employer mandates, I just don't see much upside to his presidency. In fact, that may be what he should insist on getting done, just a clean repeal of the individual and employer mandates; so as to restore to the nation its rightful freedoms and liberties; and allow his administration to then move forward on a more upward trajectory.

 

95% of people have already made up their minds about Trump good or bad so I doubt there would be anything he can do to unify the country. I don't think the country has ever been unified since WWII so that doesn't really matter to me. I am more interested in him continuing to follow through on his campaign promises, his 4 year term is not over so he has time. His tweets are not important, it is his way of getting his message out to the people without the news media twisting his words to their meaning. Occasionally he might get distracted and use twitter the way ordinary people do but that's OK.

 

I would like to point out that you just moved the goal posts...
You previously said media would not report if trump tried to unify
... then I asked for tweet based evidence that he made such an effort
... and now you say it is pointless to try to unify
Which is imo just an excuse for not trying
You do not get a pass for giving up without trying

I am calling bs
Eisenhower unified the country
Reagan unified the country
Bush unified the country after 9-11

If trump was running on the proposition that it is impossible to unify the country... he should say so so voters have the option to vote on that idea

From what you are saying... he mostly has time to make more excuses

So why indulge in them

Exactly.. and if he wanted to unify the country without media censorship... this is how he COULD do it

ok for you... a lot of people think it makes. Him look like a a spoiled brat

 

That is still under investigation.

 

He more or less did run on that proposition. No one I knew thought he ran on being able to unify anything. Hillary ran on that and Trump was highly critical of her stronger together message.

If people missed that then that's on them. Bush didn't do jack, people unified because the media told them to do so after 9/11 and things were different back then.

 

Each of those were able to do so because of outside influence.
Eisenhower: war
Reagan: "tear down this wall"
Bush: destruction of the WTC.
When the people have something to rally against they can come together.

What outside influence can Trump use?

 

Not a very good leader

 

How about his buddy, Putin?

 

Would that not mean that HillBill legally lost?

Why cannot you folks "get over" her? Especially your Man Crush...he seems to have a twitter fetish with her.

 

Sexism is nothing more than an unrealistic and non-existent political term meant to cause a fissure between men and women.
Bigotry is another catch-all term that is nothing more than an emotional driver.
Deceit is the absolute way of the world and many of those who accuse others of deceit are themselves deceitful.
Incompetence to use this word means that a person is wholly incapable of performing a job or a function. Being POTUS is a job that none has experience with, unless the current president has experience with being POTUS, so this term is unqualified in all reality when being used against Mr. Trump.
Nihilism first the definition to see if it is term to be used against Mr. Trump. Following this, my commentary:
1. the rejection of all religious and moral principles, often in the belief that life is meaningless.
2. extreme skepticism maintaining that nothing in the world has a real existence.
3. the doctrine of an extreme Russian revolutionary party c. 1900, which found nothing to approve of in the established social order.
Now for my commentary, Does Mr. Trump reject all religious and moral principles? I have no knowledge of this but usual politicians are guilty of the same. Is Mr. Trump a holder of the belief that there is no meaning to anything? I seriously doubt this, but it seems that Liberals and those who hold Leftist views are indeed guilty of attempting to reduce everything that others hold near and dear as meaningless. Is Mr. Trump extremely skeptical, who isn't skeptical about the machinations of the political maneuvers of politicians?. As for Mr. Trump following the doctrine of Soviet Era and pre-Soviet Era of the Russian Revolutionary party, such kindergarten thinking is part of the reason why innocent people in the past and present languish behind bars falsely accused by those who themselves are representative of what they accuse others of doing. Also, Leftist and Progressive ideology is built upon the rhetoric of
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin and Leonid Trotsky. Most of you people who are always yapping about Mr. Trump like Chihuahuas offer baseless accusations in a attempt to have Mr. Trump impeached so that you can have one of your favorite sock-puppets or empty suits to reinstate business as usual. As I have stated before, Mr. Trump has done nothing wrong neither legally, ethically nor morally as President of these (dis)United States. Just let the man alone to serve out his term as POTUS.
