Trump isn't a president, he's a gangster (Lucian K. Truscott IV)

[gordianot]

11. Trump follows a predictable pattern.

He makes an outrageous statement or lie walks it back to a degree then returns and consolidates his original outrage. He does this constantly it is not only reality testing but an attempt to shape reality. Not exactly a Jedi mind trick but he has been allowed to get by with this his entire life. I am sure Queen Elizabeth was honored to be in his presence. Big strong men cry in gratitude however more than a few women have cried for other reasons. Maybe some day that will be pointed out to Donald, rage is also a reason to cry. Every time I hear reporters clamor for Trump comments I am sickened as he reinforces co dependence. Stephanopoulos does deserve accolades for letting Trump express his malice on camera.

The American Civil War was terrible, having a crook in the Presidency (Nixon) was disgraceful, contrived wars are a horrible blemish, but I do not believe we have ever lived through a more troubling time.
