1. How did this penthouse trash end up in the oval office?

[Motown_Johnny]

2. again calling it a "Travel Ban"

while his lawyers are trying to claim it isn't.

What a freaking moron.

[uppityperson]

3. Ban?

He said it wasn't a ban.

[PearliePoo2]

5. Not used to being challenged or told, "No", eh?

Keep it up, you fool.
Hey, why doncha' send out a tweet trashing the judge's wife and his family next? Yeah, that'll work just fine!
(please...no one take his phone away...please)

6. Here is one DUer's thoughts on Checks and Balance:

8. Yup.

[In_The_Wind]

11. I don't think I'll survive 4 long years watching his mental decline.

[img][/img] I'm too old for this shit.

[uppityperson]

12. I knew he'd be really bad. He has gotten worse than I thought he could in his first week

My hope now is they get something to stop him from sending nukes and somehow the repubs can get some sort of control away from the crazy man and his nazi handler.

I've avoided using Hitler comparisons over the years, but now it's apt. Very scary.

[In_The_Wind]

14. He is worst than I ever dreamed he would be.

Some have suggested he has Alzheimer's disease.

If that's true I feel sorry for him, his family and this country.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. No. He does not have Alzheimer's.

I'm not an expert on that disease by any means, although I have watched several people go through the decline of Alzheimer's. And their behavior was NOTHING like his.

He's a narcissist, pure and simple. He's used to being surrounded by people who cater to his every whim, and has almost never had anyone tell him "no" about anything. So he has no experience with the sort of give and take most of us experience in the real world. Add to that the fact that he has zero comprehension of how government work, what the system of checks and balances is all about, and throw in his assumption that a President is totally above the law and can doing anything he wants, and you have exactly what we've seen in the past two weeks.

Our only hope is that his damage doesn't go too far before he's removed from office.

[uppityperson]

17. Great summary. He's an insecure narcissistic bully who has never learned or had to learn to

deal with "no".

[In_The_Wind]

18. Well, I'm glad we don't have Alzheimer's to watch in the future.

The sooner Trump is out of office the safer many of us will feel.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. What bothers me most about the persistent claim

of Alzheimer's is that if he really had it, he wouldn't be responsible for his actions or words. If he had it, I'd feel a certain amount of sympathy, but would know he needed to be removed from office before it got worse. But no, he knows exactly what he's doing, and much of what he does is based on is ignorance of so very much.

Don't know if you're old enough to recall Reagan's Presidency. I am, and it was obvious to the most casual observer that he was in the early states of Alzheimer's the last two years that he was in office. And at that, he behaved nothing like Trump.

[In_The_Wind]

20. Yes, I remember Reagan's Presidency.

I'm an early Baby Boomer looking for a peaceful old age.

[moondust]

7. He's used to being a dictator.

Lording over his "empire," always having the last word.

Functioning in a democratic environment where there are checks and balances could be an ongoing challenge for an old dog like him who has never had to deal with such things. Lack of any experience in government was one of the big red flags that a lot of voters obviously ignored.

[democratisphere]

9. ....it is about keeping bad people (with bad intentions) out of country!

Bad ass drumpf with bad ass intensions needs to be banned from the WH oval office.

[Initech]

10. And how do you determine who has bad intentions?

Just like how do you determine who uses the bathroom for what purpose?

[Solly Mack]

13. Trump doesn't understand how government works.

Trump also doesn't care how government is supposed to work.

Trump wants government to yield to his bidding without all the checks and balances.

He is reaching out to those who also don't understand how government works. To those who think taking a strong hand is a good thing, regardless of how many laws are broken in the process.

Now, these same people want to moan and groan if someone they don't like breaks a law. Or, more to the point, someone tells them a law was broken whether it was or not.

But Trump's idiotic strongman talk gives his supporters their daily boost of nationalism.

16. What is our country coming to

when a perverted under-qualified racist misogynist xenophobic loudmouth bully such as yourself becomes president?

[spanone]

21. hey don, it's called the constitution...checks and balances, ya know, Democracy
