    It tells me that his complete lack of intelligence, ethics, couth, respect, and ability scare anyone of even minimal love of country.

    NOT ENOUGH established politicians in his administration. He surrounded himself with a bunch of his fellow fat cats and none of them know what the hell is going on or what to do next. It's a true case of the blind leading the blind.

    Okay....please correct me with something other than opinion.

    Something as simple as any individual in Congress speaking up for and defending him would suffice.

    We should just be happy that thus far no outside nation has taken military advantage of our crippled state.

    I've heard Paul Ryan speak up for him often, Mark Meadows and Rubio have defended him. Then again maybe you don't watch Fox news.

    Really? The establishment politicians have been at the gates blocking every move he tries to make. They are all a bunch of political cowards. Come 2018 you can bet that the at the rate it is going there will be no turn out for establishment types from the Trump voters. Better to see a Democrat defeat them than support them. Welcome to hardball.

    Like millions of other Americans, Donald Trump needs to put down (DOWN) the damned "smart" phone and then think (THINK) carefully about what he needs to do and how he's going to do it before he starts blowing off about it to the whole world!

    Since he took over as President of the United States, Trump has had one great accomplishment, and yes, it was a major one. He SAVED the Supreme Court from being infested with any more of the kind of hyperliberal, doctrinaire TRASH that Obama had put on it during his regime. Thank you, Donald Trump. You probably won't get another opportunity like that until Bader Ginsberg falls over dead, so it's time to move the hell on and GET SOMETHING ELSE USEFUL DONE! After the ungodly mess that Obama left us with, we need more than one miracle every six months....

    Fox is a part of my resource list...by defending I was hoping for more than generic, luke warm mumbling under the breath. This is far from embracing Trump.

    His shortcoming is that he did not understand the power of the established deep state which would work with politically driven dems and GOPhers to take him down. He didn't understand that the republic is dead and we now live under oligarchy, and a coup is in process.

    No, people who don't know him and his history got him into the white house. People in NY who know him for decades have seen his behavior for decades, now at 70 years old and still a man child who wants nothing but accolades

    I will differ. Ethics, Intelligence: other than greed, cunning, subterfuge and beguilement, Couth, Respect, Love for this country and Ability are not the strong points of either party. As I have stated before, President Donald J. Trump has not given me any reason to dislike him thus.

    I well understand that certain individuals are not bothered by sexism, bigotry, deceit, incompetence, nihilism, fraud...or pretty much anything that Mr, Trump says or does, this is a well established phenomenon. It is important to understand however, that these individuals are looked upon as less than ideal Americans by those who don't swallow the "Fake News" mantra and understand the implications for the future of this country.
    It is likely that even his collapse and charges will be accepted as a plot by liberals.

    LOL at distinguishing b/n politicians and fatcats.

    At least the 'fatcats' arent getting rich *purely* off our tax money. Well that and bribes.

    I'll agree with the Oligarchy theory, but we disagree on the source of the wealth and power, and Trump is an integral part of the cycle. The 1%ers went on a rampage against Obama. As an example, Judicial Watch has a staff of 50 people, a combination of full-time lawyers and investigators. Their entire agenda is filing defamation lawsuits. They filed over 300 lawsuits against Obama, and the Billionaire-funded news organizations of Breitbart and FOX pick up every story. The $35 million funding of Judicial Watch is a small price to pay for the 1%ers, as their payback in public policy is enormous. They are laughing all the way to the bank.

    He cannot unify the country when so many on the left will only be happy when Trumps head is on a platter. How can anyone unify that?

    Well you know we don't have many gays on our side so there's not going to be a bunch of lavish praise.

    Health Care (which is a good thing), Tax reform, building the wall, the ridiculous Russian investigation, in fact, have they sent up one piece of any legislation to be signed?

    Are you suggesting that Trump is gay based on his own self assessments of his prowess in the board room and the oval office? Now I don't care either way, but that is one assertion I have never heard made about this guy. Do you detect something a bit feminine in his gestures and demeanor too? Has he ever seen a Broadway show? https://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/07/theater/for-a-young-donald-j-trump-broadway-held-sway.html
