Anyone Else Think Trump Stopped Being The President Today?

He didn't go off the rails, he went off the trestle.

Comparing Nazis and the Klan to "counter protesters" like they are simply two "sides".

Beyond pathetic. Sickening. Worse.....

Today he gave up all credibility to all Americans in my opinion, even his "fans".


Agree?

Thoughts?

You nailed it. He never got there to begin with. Never even seemed to care about it, either.

After the last couple of days he might think the people of this country aren't worthy of him. When I say he might have given up on the thought of re-election, I didn't mean it under the guise he thinks he would lose.

That at some point he started being president.

A real President puts the nation and its people before himself. Trump never has nor ever will put anything before him. Trumps world is him first everything else a distant second.

integrity or any other characteristic, qualification or statesmanlike behavior that is normally associated with that office. And then there's the whole unresolved matter of Russia and how Trump accomplished his stunningly impossible win.

He is a disgusting, pathetic, excuse for a human being. To have so much and to be so mean and vengeful boggles my mind. My one wish/hope is karma gets him sooner rather than later.

Even Ivanka must know how completely offensive his remarks are, and the Kushners are very intelligent. They'd better figure something out soon.

Unfortunately, there are too many Americans that support and think the repugnant bastard is some sort of hero.

The fact that Trump remains in office and ever reached office indicts what is now a failed political system sustained by pols who maintain the status quo for their own interests.

He is what he's always been - a self-serving, ego-driven narcissist who has never cared about anyone but himself.

He wouldn't even defend his treasured daughter, a Jewess and the mother of his Jewish grandchildren, against neo-Nazis spewing anti-Semitic hatred.

He's not a president, and never has been. He's simply the racist bigot that THE REPUBLICAN PARTY dumped into the Oval Office, the consequences to the country be damned.

Unfortunately (and unlike many other forms of government), elections in this country have consequences that are rarely subject to change short of a full term.
