That's some motivation.

Yeahbut he likes to run. Irrelevant if he wins. He is "liked" by his crowds at his rallies. And we pay the air fair. We will even pay for his 4th of July Hug The Flag fest.
 
Trump has never been as 'turned on' as when he's at one of his rallies. I'm surprised he doesn't have a cigarette after he walks off stage.

And yet he complains about Kaepernick:

United States Code Title 4 Chapter 1 §8. Respect for flag

b. The flag should never touch anything beneath it.

It is shameful that House Democrats won’t take a stronger stand against Anti-Semitism in their conference. Anti-Semitism has fueled atrocities throughout history and it’s inconceivable they will not act to condemn it!

From the guy who called the Nazis in Charlottesville "Good People",
Physician , heal thy freaking self.
 
I'd love to see Trump's school records and SAT scores. For him to have Cohen threaten the schools to never release this info, it must be pretty bad. Maybe the 'stable genius' ain't such a genius after all?

Again, the guy who retweeted a photo of a Star of David over a pile of money from "@whitegenocideTM" of "Jewmerica", and endorsed white nationalists like Steve King, and said that some of the people carrying Nazi logos and chanting "Jews will not replace us!" while attacking a synagogue were "very fine people", AND told the Republican Jewish Coalition that they wouldn't support him because they wanted to buy politicians and he didn't want their money, really shouldn't be whining about how Rep. Omar's dislike of Israel's human rights abuses is tantamount to anti-semitism.

To be clear, she's given little sign of antisemitism, while Dolt 45 is a white supremacist, and includes overt antisemitism in this. As a democrat, I'm perfectly happy to condemn his antisemitism, and his white supremacism in general.
 
Trump Tweets

Wall Street Journal: “More migrant families crossing into the U.S. illegally have been arrested in the first five months of the federal fiscal year than in any prior full year.” We are doing a great job at the border, but this is a National Emergency!

Democrats just blocked @FoxNews from holding a debate. Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats in the General Election debates!

Does he actually have control or even a say over general election debates?

He certainly revels in the idea that he does.


Some people seem to think that leaking TV debate questions is a federal crime, and Hillary Clinton should have been locked up for receiving them. Fox people from a couple of years ago (mostly White House people now).

I was thinking more that he intends as the executive branch of government to interfere with the legislative branch. If so, is that not a distinct and severe constitutional overreach and therefore fairly illegal?

If he's referring to the Presidential Debates, then he of course has the right to not participate. That would put significant pressure on choosing a venue, I'd think.

Fox will host him, of course. But would any other candidate with scruples bother debasing themselves to appear on that same channel to debate with Trump? He will look fairly silly debating with himself...although he would inevitably lose that debate too.

Highest rate of arrests doesn't mean highest rate of attempted crossings.

In fact I keep seeing stats saying crossings are historically low.

Manufactured "crisis."

Why would anyone want to debate Trump on the Propaganda Arm of the Trump Administration?

I tried to think of a detailed response to this...and all I can come up with is that nothing you've ascribed to Rep. Omar follows from what she said. She said that Israel abuses human rights, which is true (and it's true of every country in the region, but again, Omar's disgust towards the Saudi government goes unnoticed), she said that she shouldn't be called unamerican for not pledging loyalty to Israel, which is also true.

How you get to you being disloyal to America for a qualified support of Israel is beyond me.

You're talking to someone who's accused others who voiced some criticism of Israel in the discussion of wanting Israel utterly wiped off the map while also crying about being "lumped in" with all Israel supporters and thinks all of these complaints about human rights are just a cover for how mad we are that Israel isn't more socialist.

What odds do you put on getting a satisfying answer?

I can't help but cast my mind back to the very recent speech to CPAC in which Trump did indeed debate himself, playing the parts of both protagonist Dems or whoever in increasingly ridiculous fashion, and answering as himself and playing for the stupid lulz. That worked out SO well for him. It deserves constant reruns on Fox. It would be like Chicken Man but bigger and dumber.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country, and the rest of the world, will move on with the real adult business of government, wherever that my go.
