A small detail : Donald Trump works for the American people.

He does not work for FOX viewers only.

He does not work for only those that support him.

He does not work for only those that are willing to defend him at all costs.

He does not work only for the benefit of himself.

He works for all of America. Even those that are vehemently opposed to him. That is his job.

But, neither he nor his supporters seem to understand that?

That seems to be a small detail that many Americans are over-looking at this time.

I think President Obama completely understood. He worked for all the people, even those who didn't support him. That was his job.

Dumpy the Gangster thinks only loyal sycophants deserve his interest, and anyone who criticizes him is disloyal and deserving of revenge or cruelty.

...when people actually follow the spirit of democracy. But anyone could tell you Trump has never worked that way; whereas other presidents, whatever their screwed-up policies, thought of themselves as public servants, Trump sees himself as the public’s boss.

"You're fired!" may be something he understands?

Even Bush knew that he was president of everyone regardless of party affiliation. And I never thought I would be defending Bush but here we are.
