    The reason the left is upset with Trump is because he has the gall to include all Americans not just only the specific victim groups that the Democratic Party represents. Including white people, especially white males, in all Americans just isn't acceptable to Democrats.

    No. You&#8217;re all as bad as each other. That&#8217;s my point.

    Trump was mocking an individual that has 1% Indian blood and used that to receive affirmative action status. I'm with Trump on this except I'd call her far worse

    Do I really need to keep reposting this? I guess I do, since you, again, don't have any logical answer for your stance here, proving it is a dismissable contrivance.


    Care to offer any explanation? Or are you going to keep flopping and flapping like a gutted fish?

    I know, I know. The real answer is you're just too partisan to have a logical explanation. There, I answered it for you. Was that so hard?

    Worse than that, it was "irredeemable deplorables". We need to be locked away forever I guess or maybe sent to gas chambers

    Trump is behaving exactly as he did in the campaign. He was a scumbag then, he's a scumbag now. Shame on those who grovel before this dirtbag.

    You're surprised Trump is not PC? Been living in a cave have you? Many of us find this refreshing.

    Ahh yes, when all else fails play the race card. He was mocking a white woman who pretends to be a native American, he was mocking a liar.

    By making racially derogatory statements.

    So tell me, why does the president get a pass to behave like a racist ass? is it because Warren is disliked?

    I'm sure Don meant it as a compliment, as Pocahontas was one kool babe!
    Wiki- "..she is said to have saved the life of a captive of the Native Americans, the Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him"
    Later she married an Englishman and sailed to England with him where she became a celebrity almost as big as Gaga..:)

    I never said anything about PC.

    I asked for an explanation as to why this POTUS gets to not have a shred of professionalism.

    None of you have offered any reasoning.

    He can be non-PC, and still be professional.

    As it is, here's what we've had:

    Twitter rants
    Twitter insults
    Meeting rants
    Speech rants
    Speech insults
    Meeting insults

    I get the anti-PC feelings. I agree that the left has gone too far with identity politics, with speech control and hard lining the most idiotic and stupid (*)(*)(*)(*) you can imagine.

    But I expect, EXPECT, a modicum of decency and professionalism from our highest elected official. There is nothing professional about insulting people, or mocking people, or ranting about people, or ranting about the qualifications of people.

    Why does he get a pass on this?

    It's not racism. Trump is calling out a fraud. I'm really suprised she isn't facing charges.

    We need to find the truly eligible person she stole the spot from. We need to find the person that didn't get federal education dollars diverted to Miss Warren.

    Stolen Valor Stolen Cash Senator. Imagine.

    Cheers

    Sadly, this is the point I've been trying to have these people dispel, but they haven't.

    They are excusing this sort of childish and ridiculous banter. I'm not alright with my President resorting to childish school age bullying and twitter ranting.

    It's absurd. He's the (*)(*)(*)(*)ing president, and he acts like a jock (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)bag.

    Warren is the embarrassment. There really is no other way to look at this. Fraud.

    That's not the point.

    The point is our highest elected official has no couth or professionalism, and is the representative of our nation.

    It's ridiculous.

    You're feeding the fire here by calling it racist. There's no point in playing the race card.

    I disagree. While I understand and agree with your point of Turmp acting like an ass, this is exactly what it appears to be, a president attacking the perceived or claimed race of an individual.

    Um, okay.
