I am more than tired of Trump supporters saying he is a tough guy.

My brother and others in his squadron are tough guys, my cousin who walked through vietnam getting shot at are tough guys. This guy is a CHICKENSHIT! He is a coward, he used his daddy's money and connections just like Bush did to avoid being shot at. My brother went when his number was called, my cousin went when his number was called, both gave over 30 years to their country, this man is a coward!

Sorry I just left the office of a co-worker who said him saying he would walk in even unarmed made him a "tough guy" was more than I could handle. I needed to vent.

1. Did he really say that "saying" he would walk in made him a "tough guy"?

Granted that talking "tough" is as close as Trump will ever come to being "tough", talking "tough" will never cut it.

yesterday he would walk in unarmed against a shooter to save kids. These supporters are morons, more than their illustrious leader.

I'm thinking of something tasteful, like Rump ascending a golden stairway to the shining Seat of Greatness at the top, with Washington, Lincoln, and Reagan standing near the top beckoning him onward. There has to be a misty golden halo around his head, of course, and cherubs floating around him, all who look like Ivanka, Beavis, and Butthead.

Oh, and one more thing: There has to be a banana peel drawn precisely where his next step will land.

I'd be willing to pay ten bucks for it. But only if the frame is included.

I Googled "artist patriotic schmaltz," and he came up right away. Of course, the box was autofilled, as I have looked him up before.

Without further ado:

properly stuffed into his Depends this morning.

Either way, he's got his hand out. Maybe he expects to be paid rent. Or just begging for spare change for a Big Mac.

Something for everybody, there.

Somebody needs to tell your idiot coworker that talk is cheap. Apparently he doesn't know it.

8. Authoritarian followers believe that bullying is a sign of strength and deserving of respect.

They confuse fear and respect... Strong father=child and wife beater. Fear of a hideously judgemental father-God = religious belief.

They are saying Trump is like his beloved overcooked steaks. Tough to chew, hard to stomach, tasteless and generally regarded as a bad thing by most people.

Trump so badly wants to be seen as something more than a sniveling coward, and it's so not working.

It is so tiresome and you just know it is all talk. They are not brave at all. The protest too damn much.
