I dunno mn, it seems trump is the textbook example of snowflake.  He hates criticism.  He can't take it.  He has to respond.

But speaking of "typical" - I guess your posts are typical of all conservatives, huh?

I'm sure everyone who reads them can see how well you represent.

Keep up the great work.

Bless your heart.

And who cries over elections? Seriously? You telling me educated top executives at Google actually stood on a stage and cried? WTF.....

I wouldn't think Sew or TT cried when Hilary lost and I read their nonsense liberal blathering practically everyday so how mess up are you if you're an executive at a major corporation and you're crying over an election?! I can't wrap my head around that.

Not sure that is a correct observation, Matchless. AFAIK, USA have never had anywhere near such a disruptive leader before. Had Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich or Jeb Bush been elected instead of Trump, you would have the same map, more or less, as when Bush or Reagan etc. ruled; Democrats would have preferred a Dem president, but there would not have been an uproar like we see today.

Trump is the kind of person that nobody can stay ignorant about. With him at the wheel, things are not business as usual; they are highly controversial. He can turn out at the end as a brilliant actor that played the world, but personally I doubt it. There is a good expression that says "Plan the work, work the plan." I don't think Trump has a plan and that he basically work ad hoc without any kind of structure or clear purpose, and that it is the administration that keeps the system from collapsing completely. I could be wrong, but nothing he has said or done so far suggest that I am. If I am indeed wrong, we're back to him being a superb actor that have managed to play the world.

Here's a perfect example of a severe case of TDS. From the Washington Post editorial page: Another hurricane is about to batter our coast. Trump is complicit

That's not a joke.

So question, the current economy is "Obamas" but the current hurricane is 'Trumps"?!

Leftist are funny creatures.

Sounds like a typo, that it should have read complacent. Or perhaps they believe he's already had such a negative impact on the global environment that he is to blame for the hurricane? That would be rather silly.   Nope. That was actual headline.

Anyway, I can agree with your statement that the market believe in Trump. That does not hinder that he works the way I mentioned, only that the market think Trump will bring them good times.
And he is bringing good times.

For some, finance is more important than decency, though.
For all of us, yourself included.

As you said, we don't know the whole story; we can only speculate based on the limited info we have. Obama increased drone strikes knowing full well civilians would die. He and Hilary ignored extra security request that resulted in an Ambassador's death because they didn't want to show their public comments about having that area under control was wrong. Yet, you'll praise Obama's economy.

I'm not picking on your necessarily faffi; I enjoy your thoughtful comments. But, don't fall into the trap of thinking just because Trump is loud and obnoxious, that Obama and all other Presidents can't be just as "indecent". They are. Isn't Martin Luther himself credited with saying "I'd rather be ruled by a Turk"?

Sorry mark, but your faith in trump being some kind of mastermind is completely misplaced.  The man is simply not smart enough to do this job.  He's merely been a signature on these bills and laws.  Every single bill or executive order he's signed comes directly from the establishment republicans (the same establishment that he supposedly rallied against - he's now stumping for cruz???).

He's being led around by the nose by mitch and the establishment.

You bring up Obama a hillary - ok fine.  Those decisions that were made were pivotal, presidential decisions (seems you forgot about the obl strike, but whatever).  trump has not had to make a decision like that in his presidency thus far (thankfully) - but if or when he does, there could be dire consequences.

I'm not disagreeing with the economy and its positive direction.  But give credit where credit is due.  trump inherited a growing economy.  trump inherited a low unemployment rate.  He's riding a wave, he didn't start it - he merely hasn't killed it (yet).

If he could shut his trap for more than a second, the republicans would be doing so much better for it.  Think about it.  If he had any common sense, he'd be mute on everything.  But he can't - he's simply not smart enough.  Nearly every single person that's interacted with him has said the same thing.

This isn't "TDS" - this is who that man is.  All anyone has to do is read his twitter feed.
