I am getting sick of 45 talking to his 'base'

and making all of us less secure because of it. I am referring to his UN speech and threats against NK.
I spent three days in a bomb shelter (in our house) during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I'm old and cranky, I know, but this "America First" crap, and swagger (attributed to talking to his base), is getting sickening, and old.

"President Trump"...

I wonder who that is, he has made it clear he's not "my president".

Sorry for the language, but we were all thinking it.

His base wants stupid, racist, unworkable, and undoable things.

that ugliness was what he displayed throughout the campaign and what they voted for and what they cheer on.

the media and indeed too much of the whole world revolving around his every word, every tweet, every utterance of any kind. He is a worthless human being elevated to a position where he has undeserved world importance. ENOUGH! Ignore the bastard -- that's what I'd like to do and more, that's what I'd like the media to do much more of. And I think Twitter should cut him off as well.

And yes, that base. I'm tired of less than 1/3 of the U.S. population holding us ALL hostage to their desires and ignorant beliefs about such things as climate change, equal rights, immigrants, etc., etc. All our stupid Republican elected officials quake in their boots for fear of annoying them, having gerrymandered themselves into ultra rightwing straight jackets of a sort. If they don't toe that 33% line, they'll get primaried and could lose their seats.
