    I have often defended President Trump--he is frequently the object of scurrilous (and baseless) charges by the left wing (who still cannot accept that he is actually president)--but I do have to wonder just why he can manage no more than a sort of half-smile (in fact, almost a smirk).

    Have others noticed this also?

    He is serious about running the nation, it is not a joke to him so he doesn't smile often unlike Obama who didn't take his job seriously and was smiling from ear to ear every day over who knows what.

    I compare him to Benito Mussolini in more ways than one.

    That's obviously not true.

    He will certainly be regarded as the worst President in modern times, possibly the worst in history.

    And that's saying something, since George W Bush started a war in the wrong country, bungled it, and ignited a specualtive boom that resulted in the worst economic collapse in world history since 1929.

    Trump is working hard to top that.

    His focus is not on the nation's problems or world leadership. He doesn't understand these things and doesn't care about them.

    He cares about television, and specifically Fox television.

    Everything he does is aimed at entertaining and validating that audience.

    He does nothing else.

    I gave you a "like" on this post...but it deserves more. So I am just quoting it so that others can get another reading of it.

    BINGO!

    Not until he gets reelected first. Amazing economy, world peace, prosperity, growing manufacturing sector, growing incomes, campaign promises made, campaign promises kept... that's what the voters love. Oh, lest we forget, the Russia collusion hoax is exposed and is over - the perfect layup for Trump's second term.

    And he got comfortably reelected lol

    Which is why the price of freedom is constant vigilance because fascist scum like the BLOTUS are always around and will take any and every opportunity they can to seize power for themselves.

    Trump inherited the economy he stands in front of and brags about. Manufacturing has not been the cored of the US economy since 1955. Nostalgia for an imaginary past when many Americans have high paying low skill union factory jobs (only in the Trump vision, there is no union). Incomes are growing, again because of a boom Trump inherited.

    Bush was re elected before most Americans finally realized that his war really was a disaster, and that he had bungled it.

    And he was not "comfortably" re elected. He had the assistance of an extraordinarally bad Democratic campaign ,and the constant fear mongering of right wing media. Even with those heawinds, he won one of the narrowest reelections of any incumbent President.

    Reductio ad Hitlerum. This kind of FLAME BAIT trolling should not be permitted.

    If you limited yourself to the content you demand of others, you wouldn't be here.

    This isn't insulting a group. This isn't insulting to forum members.
    The heck it's not!

    So do you really think we're going to round up all the Jews and put them in gas chambers? Is that what Trump's final solution is for all the black people? Don't you think that it's anti-Semitic to talk so foolishly? It's disrespectful to those six million Jews who died and their families. Which doesn't surprise me coming from the New Democrat Party, which is a lot like the Old Democrat Party. Anti-semetic, pro-segregation, pro-black infanticide.

    Do you think he will get six years just for his FEC violation?
    I was thinking four, but maybe they will have more in a couple of years.
    Lock him up!

    I understand you like him.

    I obviously do not.

    Many of my friends and a few of my relatives like him (some adore him)...and we get along.

    Try not to get too worked up. I'm just expressing my feelings. If you are "insulted" by them...a political forum is probably not the place to be at this time in our history.

    I don't think he is going to do those thing...and I also do not think he is going to grow a mustache like Hitler had...nor appear bald like Mussolini.

    BUT...that does not make the comparisons to both those guys invalid.

    In any case, a greater threat to America comes from the people who justify just about everything he does. They resemble the people who justified just about everything Hitler and Mussolini did...

    ...and that ended badly.

    Bwahahaha what a spectacular leftist meltdown in the wake of Mueller's complete exoneration of Trump, his family, his campaign and his team. It's November 2016 all over again :D

    Then report him. Leftists on this forum system get away with this stuff because Right of Center posters won't bother to report them for forum violations. Ironically that generates the false impression that mods support leftists since leftists automatically report Right of Center posters for everything under the sun, and give mods no choice but to nail Right of Center posters to the wall as a result.

    Relying on Godwin, to save you from APT comparisons WILL NOT SAVE that your man is corrupt, a liar, untrustworthy, a cheater, a scam artist, con man, real estate salesman, reality star, dumbass fascist. If people don't want to go to all the effort I just did, you refuse to listen. How mature.

    The ole Holocaust bludgeon. Anything you say will be deemed anti-Semitic, as there really isn't a definition of it but BADDDDDDDDDD.

    Since the OP is about Trump's smiles I'll say this -- when he smiles it's a great smile. Yes he does smirk with a half smile sometimes but that has to do with facial construction, muscles, and feelings. There are those who wear a constant smile and those who never smile. An good observer of people and personalities will always look beyond facial construction.
