Not a criminal like those who tried to coup a duly elected president and overturn an American election. @SidneyPowell1 has done a remarkable job of exposing the truth

Absolutely @realDonaldTrump! This has been such an injustice to Gen. Flynn, his family and the American people - the overall malfeasance in his case is inexcusable and quite the coincidence to cover up the FBI and DOJ misdeeds that they lose the records. Flynn is a patriot

for your leadership. The task force is tackling real national security issues that not only deal with COVID19 but go far beyond. Praying for you and our great nation

It looks like the "Democrat Deep State Conspiracy" is working. Trump's approval rating is down to 44.8%, a 7.7 decline according to the latest Real Clear Politics average.

SO he is down to the 45% who will support Mickey Mourse as President if he is of the right party? Means he losing the swing voters.
When was this pool taken?

Trump is concerned ONLY about his own "numbers" and his personal well-being. Everybody else and everything else can go take a flying leap. They are not even on his radar.


Good luck, USA.
 
From tonight's Democratic debate:
“The first thing we’ve got to do, whether or not I’m president, is to shut this president up right now,” Bernie Sanders said from CNN’s studios in Washington, D.C. “Because he is undermining the doctors and the scientists who are trying to help the American people. It is unacceptable for him to be blabbering with unfactual information which is confusing the general public.” Link

Amen, Bernie, amen!

Yes.
I’m not convinced that you could get him to understand the idea that a president should put the nation’s interests ahead of his own. I’m not even convinced you could get him to understand that the nation’s best interests might not align perfectly with his interests.

What threats??

At the end of February, Senator Schumer said “Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch won’t know what hit them if they rule in favor of abortion restrictions.”

Pres. Trump decided that Sen. Schumer was threatening a criminal assault and charges should be brought.

I heard that Trump complained, when someone explained what a narcissist is, that the condition was named after "some old Greek guy" instead of himself.

Trump has no idea whatever about altruism. Never has, never will. And it should be come even more apparent, if it is not already, that he does not intend to learn from his past mistakes because he can never admit to himself or others that he made any. He can always reframe his massive mistakes in his mind as "winning", especially if he can ignore the past and reality, and blame somebody else.

The Central Park 9? They were always guilty, just the legal system got it wrong.

Past failures and bankruptcies? Strategic business reorganisation and refocus.

Third wife? The first two didn't understand him.

Disproven 9-11 conspiracy waffling? Deep State Muslim infiltration.

Campaign promises, especially The Wall? Hillary/Benghazi/Deep State/Democrats/Mexican Muslims/"already being paid for".

Massive Stock Market financial failures? OBAMA!

Covid-19? Chinese Muslims...from Europe, apparently.

Anything else and all of the above? FAKE NEWS!!


He is a walking talking excuse factory, masquerading as a human.

Even after Friday's rally, the stock market is down more than 10% in the last month. All the NBA and NHL have suspended their seasons, the NCAA has cancelled all athletics, INCLUDING March Madness, and the MLB season is on hold. National conferences have all been cancelled and schools and universities are converting to E-learning. People are panicking and hoarding toilet paper, handsoap, sanitizer and flour. Everyday life is in unprecedented upheaval.

In what universe could anyone approve of his handling of this crisis? We've had pandemics before, but nothing this completely bonkers.

You can't say that he can't control it, because he went on TV last week to try to calm things down and the stock market crashed in response (ironically, it jumped again after he declared an emergency and got FEMA involved (and the markets said, "about ******* time" - and he took credit for that part, so he agrees that he has something to do with it). Of course, the fact that he fired the White House Pandemic Response team 2 years ago probably didn't help anyone think he was at all prepared. But if nothing else, one could hope that he doesn't make things worse. But he has.

Still, 45% of people approve of his performance? He's been a complete imbecile this whole time. But more importantly, the proof is in the outcome. This is a friggin disaster, and he's done nothing to stop it.

45% of the American public willsupport any idiocy a president does if the president has the right letter..."D" or "R" after his name.
 
Dow Futures are down 1000 pts. Why doesn't the Idiot-In-Chief tweet about that?

To be perfectly honest, I am unsure that Trump is capable of thinking that far ahead.

I’m pretty sure with the casinos he would spin it as “Sure the investors ended up with less money than they started with, but I ended up with more money than I started with. That means it is a win for me. I am an exceptionally successful businessman.”

You don't have to both-sides it. There has never been a Democratic president as obviously incapable as Trump. Thus, we only have evidence that Republicans act like this. You can speculate that it would apply to Democratic voters as well, but there is no evidence for it.

He might do but it didn't happen like that. Remember he had to exist on money his creditors agreed to dole out for his living expenses. Of course in effect this means he never "suffered" from his bad business management.
