I'm glad you shared that, Mr. Flopper. The one thing I find consistent and like the best in President Trump is his quest for world peace. Who would ever have thought that bad things could be turned around in the Orient? And Trump seems willing to work deals to diffuse issues south of the border (excluding the barrier). I just pray that the World Peace thing kicks in like a contagion and we come into that thousand year peace prophecy of almost every known civilization has characterized in years past. Wouldn't it be loverly!To me, Trump will always be a fascinating person, not admirable but fascinating. He is very unique. He does not trust people and thus not institutions which is exactly how most his supporters feel. Unlike most presidents he has no world view, no long range plans. His meetings with his intel people and the joint chiefs are all about futures that don't concern him. He is not concerned about what happens in the Middle without the US involvement, the future of the UN or NATO or the country. He is 100% transaction orientated which means get the tax cut passed, win a verbal battle against a political enemy, get money for the wall, get the daily tweets written, etc..People wonder why Trump lies so much by misstating known facts, often from the government that he heads.The sad and funny part. When Trump has his rally in El Paso Texas he claimed crime drops after fence was erected. A republican mayor blasted Trump lies. This POTUS is unbelievable. He stand there and lies to his supporters and cheering. Sometimes I look at these people. Where are they coming from? Americans can not be these stupid.
Then he also lied about the attendees of his rally. Unbelievable.
El Paso mayor says Trump is 'wrong' to connect city's crime drop and border barrier
Washington (CNN) El Paso, Texas, Mayor Dee Margo said hours before President Donald Trump is due to visit his city that Trump was wrong to claim a border barrier was responsible for El Paso's drop in crime.
Trump made the claim last week in his State of the Union Address when he said El Paso "used to have extremely high rates of violent crime -- one of the highest in the country, and considered one of our nation's most dangerous cities."
"Now, with a powerful barrier in place, El Paso is one of our safest cities," Trump said.
First, he doesn't believe facts are as important as getting his point across so he creates his own facts to fit his message. Second, false statement guarantee a media response. This keeps the Trump name in the headlines everyday and every hour. He's said, he doesn't care what the media says about him as long as they keep saying something. He started this long before he ran for president.
Since he distrusts just about anything that people accept as facts, why should he bother with facts? His believe in conspiracy theories is common knowledge such as climate change, Obama's birth certificate, practically all facts and research about illegal immigration, the death toll in Puerto Rico, Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination, 3 to 5 million illegal votes cast in 2016, No clear evidence Russia interfered in the election, Vince Foster committed suicide, Vaccines may cause Autism, Muslims were celebrating on New Jersey roofs after 9/11, Antonin Scalia may have been murder, his voice on the Access Hollywood tape may not be his voice, etc.
Most people accept that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably is a duck. But to Trump, it just might be a chicken in a duck suit.
Totally agree.
I have a very large pools of friends from different categories. Some we became enemies just because of stupidity.
This dude followers I swear to god. They listen to his lies without even checking.
Like this Lock Her Up...... I blasted lots of these ignorant followers.
Why made you say Lock Her Up? What did Hillary do? Give me one example.
Answer...... ah ah oh ah oh.
So I asked..... Do you know how many times this jerk got sued or currently involved in a lawsuit? At least 3,000 as we stand today. He just paid $25 millions for his fake Trump university.
Hillary published her tax returns.
Trump hide his tax returns.
So who is the real corrupt?
My observation is lots of these people are listening to Hannity......... So when they comes in here. They hear different views.
I am trying to believe that but......
What world peace? When his own generals don’t agree with him. He doesn’t even consult with the generals that are on the battle front.
If not for SOD Mathis maybe we are at war right now with NK.
Pulling troops from Syria was totally rejected by his own party. Then operates like mob boss. Then lie like hell. On top of being a totally hypocrite and bully.
Sorry there is nothing there for me to like this guy. Actually I’m quite disgusted.
Well, what do you expect? Someone to wave a magic wand with magic dust and make everything bad go away all at once? I don't think so.
Look at what has happened so far: North Koreans are starving. Their past leaders have spent megabucks on nukes and make threats at giants who could come down on them with a monsoon of destruction. President Trump was able to make a little progress at first, dealt with some bad stuff in a friendly way, and played the card that should have been played from the beginning but wasn't--the promise of good things without having to drain the nation of all its pride. I don't know how he did it, but the facts point to a certain truce so long as President Trump remains strong. We can't see the future about what's going to happen, but I do know that when you follow protocols of diplomacy, peace can blossom. That seems to have happened in NK, and Trump will send the right people to ensure that NK and SK become friends again, which will please both sides and stop the blood-letting. And his generals know how to take orders in order to accomplish the oversight that requires concessions that can start the peace process of brothers, and no, some of them may not like it, but their training teaches them obedience, and they will do what they have to do to satisfy the chain of command so their wives can dance in the White House ballroom someday.
President Trump is a deal-maker. He has smart people around him, and though the media has people thinking he is an abject dunce, the opposite is quite true: the man has a 160 iq., and all the tea in China can't change that, but the press strains at a gnat to swallow a camel to prove otherwise, and their true believer comrades swallow it to try to gain power.
Right now, President Trump is not the problem as the press and the DNC leadership would like to convince us all that he is. The problem lies within each of us--are we willing to take world peace to the next level so that every person in the world has enough bread, has enough love for children in their future of peace, and has enough courage to talk things over in the board room of diplomacy rather than go at each others' necks? From looking around here, I'm not seeing a lot, but I'm seeing a start of us STFU and listening to the other people in the forum than their gang. Peace starts in the individual heart. National caring starts with everyone having a voice, whether great or small. The world watches that, whether we like it or not. The world bullies would smash our intense efforts of national caring for each other by demolishing our freedoms one bit at a time so they can take over and use our technology to commit genocide not world peace, and they'd start out by finding out where Congressmen play ball and shooting a Congressman. That has already happened, except thanks to the miracle of our own physicians, his life was given back to him from the gravest of grave conditions. Do we want that to be our bellwether? God forbid. We need to convince our press that we will not accept punitive and divisive speak as the national pastime or they won't have a cushy job. Our politicians can't seem to overcome the temptation of good press being their friends, but also their Achilles' heel.
Using them to destroy a peacemaker who just a few short years ago was a Democrat. I don't personally care, because he's making world peace noises, and it speaks to my heart. But national politics have polarized us so we are engaging in behaviors no one would desire in their own land. And love or hate President Trump, he's going after world peace, and no, some people who profit from orchestrating wars are going to have to put that urge on hold. Some who think they can kill their own people may get spanked. President Trump has shown a toughness that though he has been the victim of chatroom head-bashing, he has a compelling overview of using what power he has to keep other countries from hurting this nation, he can only be successful at this quest if all of us show the rest of the world that we are a people who can overcome our failure of diplomacy with each other.
Are our leaders up to Trump's trying to bring about a world without war? It's really up to us. The song, "Let there be peace on earth" has a very beautiful second and true line" it says "And let it begin with me."
Are we up to peace with each other and peace in the world? I'd link the song, but right now, my computer is acting up. It's there, my computer just isn't taking me to youtube, and I have a day of charity quilts to work on. I"ll try to be back tomorrow, God willing.
