Donald or one of his minions is going to have to address what happened today.
This was not small, this was not just some group of people. This was citizens ALL across the country speaking their minds and challenging him.
You may focus on where we all the votes when it mattered and that is something to consider. But he needs to accept and acknowledge that he did not get the majority vote and that he needs to pay attention. I do not actually believe he is capable of that, I believe his mental and emotional issues will not allow it.
Someone needs to look him in the eye and very calmly say.....many many people made an effort today to say they do not agree with you. If you really want to be able to say you are an American president , you need to be able to listen and deal with those who spoke up today.
And those fools who want to focus and say this is all about abortion.....THEY ARE WRONG, IT IS ABOUT COMMON DECENCY, FAIRNESS AND RIGHTS.
I was not able to attend a march due to my bum leg, a friend went to one of the marches in Knoxville and wrote my name on her arm....my spirit was there.

(6,926 posts)Voted for Humphrey (I was 18). My brother now lives in Canada, my boyfriend at the time was a conscientious objector., my college classmate flunked out freshman year (I was close) and died in Vietnam our senior year.
I was just hoping with such more widespread media coverage they would have to acknowledge something.
Did you see Sean Spicer's "The Emperor's New Clothes" rant earlier today? Do not believe the pictures you saw of the inauguration, believe what we say, not what you saw.

I've seen media reports. I'm being selective about what media I expose myself to, for now. The only snippets of Trump's inauguration I've seen were the ones Steven Colbert included in his spiel. I am curious about the Metro numbers - they are very different than the ones I've seen attributed to to Metro earlier.
So I saw a printed report of his rant, as well as the live tweets of Trump's similar comments to the CIA.

(6,926 posts)I believe his ego and pathetic need to be admired will wear him down and he will erupt. Hopefully in public.
