No leader would be allowed to spew as many excuses for his failings, as Trump does.

When Trump does it, his supporters just go along with it. What shocks me the most is how he blames China for not letting us know more that they had a problem.

We are a supernation. Are Trump's supporters so stupid that they are incapable of asking the hard question: "Sir, what happened to our intelligence agencies? Were you working with them, or were you working to deplete their effectiveness? If you claim that China could not be trusted from the very beginning of your presidency, why didn't you bolster the ability of our intelligence agencies to gather information?"

AND FOR FUCK'S SAKE, WHY IS THE MEDIA GIVING THIS LOSER PRESIDENT A BREAK BECAUSE NO ONE CAN PIN DOWN WHEN HE ACTUALLY READ A REPORT?

MOST INTELLIGENT PEOPLE WOULD VIEW THAT AS THE FAILURE: PEOPLE DID THEIR JOBS, BUT TRUMP DIDN'T.

Stop giving this president a break, that no other president would be given. This is white privilege at its absolute worst and as a country, keep it to the locker room. It has no place out here.

Why was Trump praising the Chinese and their leadership back in January?

Shut down, turn off the camera and walk away when Chump starts his whining.

Now that Andy Lack is (mercifully) gone from NBC Universal, maybe we'll see more of this.

She’s generally politically discreet, but most of our mutual friend hate Trump, and make no bones about it. I think she decided to poke back, but pasted some copy and paste screed

This is all Facebook nonsense.

She’s not mentally ill, as are no few Trump supporters who are vocal that I know. It was sad to see. She didn’t take me up on my offer, as “I didn’t post this for debate” and told one of her followers to shut the hell up when they started attacking me. Probably because she knows how I can get fairly aggressive—I DID warn the dude, and partly because she’s been friends when my husband for many years.

Glad she’s in Texas.

You don’t get to support a racist, a sexist, a cruel wanna be despot and then claim you care about humanity.
