    This is transparent to anyone that can observe, listen and process what the are actually seeing.
    Not really, it just shows how desperate his supporters were that heard his BS message feeding their irrational fears and always blaming someone else for their problems.

    The three year old brain did not beat those opponents. The three year old brain convinced about 20% of the Republican electorate that he has the best words and has the best plans. And when the rest of the Republicans fell out because they couldn't come back in the Primary, the people supporting Trump convinced about 70,000 voters across three states to accept the "Trump or else" strategy.

    Not embarrassed at all if you actually read the story behind the events. I would suggest you do that.

    First off, I never said it had anything to do with coal miners, veterans, etc. That is just your derangement coming into play.

    And yes, the two are about the ban. Question is, where is his empathy for those victims of his ban?

    As to the Veterans, and the coal miners, how easily you discard his lies to those two groups. Again with the Trump derangement which ignores the lies of Trump. What has he done for Veterans, or even proposed? And when will he admit he cannot bring back the jobs for coal miners since 90% of them have been lost due to technology? And even that started in the 80's under Reagan, the Great Union Buster.

    As to the "Dreamers", Trump has said they have nothing to fear from ICE, and his deportation plans, yet most of those being deported are "Dreamers" who are following the orders of the Court.

    I have to wonder just when you Trump supporters are going to get off your knees, quit kissing his ring, and see what is really happening.

    Unfortunately gaining status is the least likely outcome of this presidency. I think we have all lost status as America loses the remnants of its reputation as world leader. We are all diminished by the reign of DJT.

    Yes, even con artists have a quaint sense of instinct as to how to fool people even when most of them are of the gullible, low information, kind. That is how a con works. Oh, BTW, he didn't beat the Democrats, he just fooled a few people, and happened to win the right States, a small flaw in the election process that allows one to win even while losing the popular vote. In other words, more proof that we are no longer a Republic.

    The liberal message is dying or has died across the entire developed world and if you need to blame it on irrational fear, etc. to numb the pain then go for it. I'm sure it's someone else's fault, heh.

    Lol, you guys are hopeless. Trump beat the **** out of the democrats. Y'all DO have an extremely poor message and pander to the wrong people though, that was extremely dumb. Very smart would be going to the right states and winning them, turning several blue states red, even if it was only by one vote, it was still turned red. That is what a smart man does.

    My goodness, so much hyperbole in your last two sentences.

    I've been hearing that since Jimmy Carter was president. They said it about Carter, Reagan, Bush 1, Clinton, Bush 2, Obama, and now Trump. Ive no doubts it was said about Nixon, Lbj, JFK, Truman, Eisenhower, etc etc. probably the only one it wasn't said about was Washington, and I have my doubts about that.

    True for Nixon, Bush 2 and Trump. Perhaps hyperbole for Reagan, or we was lucky with perestroika. Hyperbole for Carter, who like Obama, inherited a financial wasteland.

    I've heard it for all the Presidents I listed.

    Apparently all our presidents make us look weak and are incompetent etc....

    That's politics for you.

    I have and its still acts of kindness by Trump to people who are not his family. You are still owned you just can't admit it.

    No actually you did. I can quote you once again if you like.

    Your words:

    Now let us see what kind of empathy he has for the Veterans that he lied to on the campaign trail, the coal miners he has lied to, the "Dreamers" he has lied to, and the list goes on, and on, and on. So, how about these people:

    Go ahead and deny it again. It only makes my point.

    So what? Where does it say he has to let everyone in the country in order to be nice Genius?

    You haven't provided a single example. Try backing yourself up for once.

    Your ignorance is truly amazing. First it was Trump isn't nice to anyone outside his family. I proved that laughably false. Then you claimed is was only that one example. Once again proven laughably false. And now this fabrication. Amazing you keep coming back for more.

    http://www.militarytimes.com/articles/trump-veterans-meeting-shulkin-pence

    So if he hasn't done everything in the first 100 days he promised to do in 4 years we should call him a failure? And you claim I'm deranged. LOL

    Wait so dreamers aren't here illegally? Do you have a clue what you are taking about?

    Sorry we aren't willing to call him a failure when its not even 100 days into his presidency. Wow your derangement would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.

    I know for certain that both Clinton and Obama presented extremely well on the international stage and made America look both competent and considered. Even though their policies may not necessarily have accorded with that view, they were considered statesmen equal to the task they had taken on and largely admired internationally. Nixon was also held in similar regard until his downfall, and Reagan gained cred during his tenor. But Bush 2 and Trump were/are both laughing stock, actually feared for their incompetency.

    And yet I heard the exact same sentiments about all of them.

    I think everything Trump says now will be attacked whether it is with good or bad intentions.

    He's lost his credibility, like officially.

    I can't picturing congratulating someone for getting wounded in combat. Thanking them for their service, yes. Expressing the gratitude of the country, yes. Passing word to the doctors to give this man extra special treatment, yes.

    Trump would need a speechwriter at a birthday party.
