I know the media is super quick to criticize him simply due to the fact that he's not a career politician. They want him to seem unfit. I'm sure other politicians don't like him for the same reason. He doesn't care if he upsets them, he's there to do a job.

I heard someone at work say "oh there's Trump on ANOTHER golfing trip! When is he going to do some work?" when the news was on one day. I asked if they expected Trump to work 24/7 or if he was at least allowed to relax occasionally. You could've heard a pin drop and I never got a response.

The man NEEDS a brain-mouth filter and an advisor to edit anything he posts on social media before hitting "submit." I do like how he is extremely straight forward when he speaks and doesn't sugar coat it but sometimes you do need a sprinkle of sugar.

I remember at the end of his first 100 days in office our biggest "anti Trump" person at work said, "I'm impressed. The man actually did the things he said he would during his first 100 days. The things he hasn't finished are now up to Congress or someone else." Love him or hate him he is the president of the US and we've got him for 2 more years (hopefully 6). Come on, the man is getting N Korea to talk! That alone means a lot.

every trip he takes to his resort in Florida costs US tax payers over $1mm (and being the profiteer, he gets paid housing everyone...win/win)...it's a big 'cash-grab' for him.

In just over a year he's ruined the lives/careers of:

Mike Flynn
Paul Manafort (deservedly)
Rex Tillerson
Michael Cohen (deservedly)
George Papadopoulis
and many more...

So here's my theory:
He's indebted to many unsavory players to the tune of hundreds of millions, (if not billions) and is using The Presidency as his personal check-book. It's plainly obvious to me, whichever world leader promises profit, Donald is sucking his dick.

As for N. Korea? I've got a bridge in Arizona to sell you :)
 
North Korea seems to have the largest stock of rare earths on the planet right now.

I'll definitely agree on this point...the problem is that everyone is pissed-off and it makes our Government even more dysfunctional than usual

good luck gettin' in :)

The best analogy I've heard about Trump is that he's like a doctor with horrible beside manner. He tells you that you're fat, you're an idiot for smoking the past 30 years, and you need to start digging you grave now if you don't take care of yourself. You're pissed off at him but really you're the one with the problems.

One of the biggest issues is the parties and individual politicians work for themselves and not the best interest of the people who voted them into office.

Every president takes trips that cost us money and they all get more expensive not because they're trying to spend more but the cost of security goes up. I would've figured Trump would pay for his own travel and lodging since, well, he is a billionaire.
 
Trump is not politician, democrat or republican, He is pragmatic. He sees a problem and fixes it and could give a shit about what people say. He has been this way His whole life. Bedside manner He could give a fuck about, He wants to get the job done and the beltway He can. People can hate His personality but they can't dispute the things Trump has accomplished.

I'm going to agree with that. I'm sure he's actually not a bad guy to talk to especially after hearing that "grab them by the pussy" bit. Honestly that showed people, at least men, that he's an ordinary guy in many ways.

The whole Stormy Daniels thing was just funny IMO but if he cheated on his wife then he's at least part asshole. We don't know the details of their marriage and she could've given him permission for all we know or she simply doesn't care.

I'd much rather have him in office than hitlery. It has nothing to do with being a woman, I simply do not trust her. Both parties could've come up with better candidates but the fact that Trump won shows you don't need to be a career crook to get elected president.

Well we still are in a war that's old enough it has a driver's license (Afghanistan) but I could see her getting us into another.

War is such a terrible thing and I am hoping that this administration gets us out of these many unproductive places where we are giving so much support while they call for death to the USA.

I was very lucky in that my service ended before 9/11 and the 2 wars that followed. In recent years, however, I've wished that I had gone back in to serve. I know full well that my ass would've landed in Iraq or Afghanistan. I know the risks I would've been taking. I just feel like I could've done something; at the very least directly supported my brothers.

IMO, I feel Muslims are the problems we have in this world

I would say Radical Muslims are a huge problem and they get lumped in with those who are not radical. I have Muslim family and they are not radical, they are very Americanized. When he came to the country he could not speak English very well so he needed to learn, he had a reasonably quick approval and citizenship. A good example of someone doing things the right way. I think if people looked a a place like Dubai where it is a mostly Muslim and they live a completely peaceful, western style life. Just like Saudi Arabia has come around I believe in time most Muslims will want these animals out of their religion. Just to be clear, I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and God but everyone can choose their own spirituality or lack thereof. There are bad people in every religion, this is why religion is a terrible thing. It is best to be a strict Jesus follower with the Bible and Spirit as your guide. You do not need yo go to no church to get to know your God, you are the church and God lives in your heart!

I think the biggest issue in this world are the evil players at the top who are controlling these issues and fanning the flames of discord. We all need to stick together united to prove their evil propaganda does not effect us. I have friends and family of all races and spirituality and I love them all, even when their opinion is not my own, I respect their right to free thought. We are told to love each other as God has loved us and as hard as that is we should always strive for this.

If the radical Muslim's are a problem (which they are) we should pray for them to learn the truth and become part of the modern world.
 
Religious extremists have been a problem throughout the history of organized religion. Religion isn't the problem though, it's the people who try to force their ways onto others.

I sat through an over 2 hour presentation from a reformed white supremacist. One of the things he said was, "if white people wipe out all the other races what's next? Do we turn our focus onto those who don't have blue eyes and blonde hair? It never ends when you're locked into that way of thinking." Same applies to the religious extremists. If they wiped us out they'd find another target. Those types of people will never stop until they've been eliminated.

The funny thing is, no matter how hard we pray the radical Muslims will always be the same way. I agree every religion has it's own problem but the Muslims are worse. I also believe some of the big influential people in the world are responsible for financing all this violence. It's so annoying and frustrating.

They will never stop and that's the bitter truth

It's the Muslims' turn if you think about it. I'm pretty sure almost ever major religion has a dark violent period. Many wars have been fought in the name of religion.

You are right, the Muslims are doing all the fighting now
 
We can still pray for them, prayer is very powerful and it can change the heart of anyone. Many Muslims are coming over to the Christian faith. As violence becomes worse conversion will happen quickly.

More than 100 Christians were killed by Muslims in my country few days ago. The government is doing nothing about it. Anywhere Muslims are gathered, there is likely to be problems.
