Trump is an abnormal, unstable, unpredictable, dishonest, incompetent, uncompassionate..
....divisive, lawbreaking buffoon.
Why should we accept anything he says as credible? Why should his supporters be given any credibility? Would you ever want someone with these behavioral traits as a friend? Why does the media continue to promote these false equivalencies? Where is the room for compromise?

Although it seems very obvious.

21. I don't think 'enough' of Americans
have reached that conclusion yet. But it does seem that each and every day, each and every idiotic statement that rolls off of that snakes tongue, more and more decide what a truly detestable snake 45 is. History will judge tRump one day, History will also judge those who stood by and agreed with him.

3. I just laugh, after all, rump is going to be unable to pass a single law until at least ...
after 2020, but he'll be gone by then. Control of the purse strings is eventually going to eventually grind him and his republican cronies down to perhaps seeing our side of things...until then? Who knows?

Which can be changed by the next president.

7. Stop broad-brushing "The Media"
"Why does the media continue to promote these false equivalencies?"
Which Media? Say who you mean. Be specific, or don't say it. Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez are part of "The Media". Are they who you're referring to? |

8. I can't think of a single compromise I would make with them
Not one.
And agreeing on an infrastructure bill requires no compromise. Just practical thinking. But evidently that’s not enough these days. It proves anything can be politically weaponized if you’re Trump. ![]() |

9. "Why does the media continue to promote these false equivalencies?"
The media is owned by corporations and led by powerful individuals that benefit from Trump and the erosion of any political and economic power allegedly owned by the People at large.

18. Those are all "qualities"
admired by the gop. The leaders like McConnell, Graham, McCarthy and others LOVE the orange clown. The fact that he makes the USA a laughingstock does not affect them at all. They just continue lining their pockets with Russian money.

19. That's a very important one. . . why do the media report and discuss his lies seriously?
You see him tweet something stupid and they all discuss it as if it was real. Like when he says he doesn't want a war in Iran. They say, "Well, Trump just said he doesn't want war." As if that was what he really thinks. They take it as some actual priority, whereas WE ALL KNOW, that in a couple of hours he will be calling for troops and bombs. They have to stop taking his words seriously and just report on what his administration is doing, behind the scenes.

Just the way he is because they too are abnormal, unstable, unpredictable, dishonest, incompetent and uncompassionate. He’s their hero and role model.

23. He is a caricature of the Rethuglican party.
We not only cannot work with or compromise with him, we cannot work or compromise with the entire Rethuglican party. Obama tried his best and went well above and beyond the call of duty, but proved only that those people have no soul, no morals, no character and no patriotism. The only way to deal with them is to root them out root and branch. Until that is done, this country will not grow and will only teeter on the verge of collapse. In fact. The Rethugs want it to collapse so that they can remake it in Russia's kelptocratic image.

or America loses. Dems in Congress must be tough as hell to win this battle. Mueller needs to testify in public, there can be no other option. I know he is a Republican and that is always a problem! Be strong or lose!!
