Trump hasn't been given a low bar, he hasn't been given any bar at all.

He read a script and now he deserves praise ???

What a bunch of horseshit.

These fuckers are insane !!!!!!!!!!!!!

watching Schieffer on his program, just looking shocked - SHOCKED I TELLS YA - about the gridlock in DC. The gop was blocking anything and everything President Obama tried to do. "Why, I have never seen anything like this. WHY can't this president get anything done?" Not mentioning the gop obstruction once. I lost what little respect I ever had for him that day.

Matter of fact, I see him as attacking Dump's behavior as the reasoning for all of Dump's troubles. Dump whines that the media is so unfair to him, but as anyone can see it is self-inflicted.

Schieffer is full sh*t and as far as I am concern he is enabling this Treason, when he said this "guy" sounded presidential, this "guy" never says anything presidential, whatever the hell that means in sounding presidential in the lexicon of republican talking point BS, gurgling out of there mouths


He is not my president.

Only to blow it big time a couple of days later??? And not just conservative Bob Schieffer, but also liberal / progressives like Van Jones have complemented him on his "presidential" episodes when they have happened. But, as Rachel Maddow says, we need to focus not so much on what Trump says, but on what he and his administration are actually doing. In other words, not so much on image and facade, but on actual substance.
