    He was filth as a game show host and he's still filth today. A title doesn't change the man's demeanor.

    Sounds like he's part of the swamp he was going to drain. And it seems everyone's ok with corruption.

    The breaking point is extremely hard to reach due to Democrats not enforcing the Logan act:

    December 1997, South Movement: "'If the United Nations fails to respond to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (meeting in Tehran) then the Muslim world must act and defy these sanctions,' Farrakhan told an audience of union representatives in the Iraqi capital." (Louis Farrakhan) http://southmovement.alphalink.com.au/southnews/Dec12.htm

    12/12/1997: "UN sanctions against Iraq were denounced as terrorism by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan during a visit to Iraq, CNN reported." http://www.arabicnews.com/ansub/Daily/Day/971212/1997121240.html

    Let me address the specific then in the most direct and simplistic terms. My "breaking point" is profits derived from from policies detrimental of American interests. If Trump, or his administration profit from policies that are beneficial to America I have no concern.

    I agree Trump should redouble his efforts to distance himself from his companies business. However, I think it unfair to expect the man who spent his life working to build a company, suffering many considerable downturns along the way, to simply scuttle his business organization. Optics are important, but honestly, anything short of an vow of poverty will likely not silence critics.

    Sorry, Brittany, I must have missed the news. Obama forced doctors to retire? Obama had them killed off? All so you couldn't "keep your doctor?"

    Or maybe, just maybe, insurance companies made changes to their plans and your doctor said, "uh, no thanks."

    Of course, for those of you that just hated the ACA, you could always just pay cash to see your favorite doctor.

    So, it stays the same.

    You get to keep your doctor until TrumpCo decides to kill them off.

    Actually many doctors retired BECAUSE of the ACA. Plus the ACA is really a zero sum game. Meawhile the insurance companies and Pharma made money and big hospital chains gobbled up their competition and provided less care in the process.

    Well that IS what you get when you implement a Republican policy.

    Why are you surprised at this? I would think you guys would be all about funneling the people's money into huge corporate coffers.

    Yeah, as noted, INSURANCE COMPANIES made decisions to increase their bottom lines. It's called capitalism, free market solutions. I thought you guys were all in favor of capitalism and free markets.

    Who'da thunk you were all price control, market managers.

    No its called fascism when the government and corporations collude . He lied there is no way around it. Millions lost their Drs and insurance who would have still had it had Obamacare not passed.

    Wow and not a single Republican voted for ACA. No wonder they call it liberal La La Land.

    Do Trump supporters have a breaking point?

    Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on and what he won the Presidency on. The side effect of watching liberals/socialists heads explode is just an added benefit.

    Dadoalex, by your logic, you also have no claim to morality. Again, with your logic, you would rather support someone who caused people to die in the Arab Spring and at Benghazi while lying about the cause. Thanks for showing us the depths of your moral depravity.

    It's unfair to be ethical when you become the President? Is that really what you want to go with?

    - - - Updated - - -

    "Lock her up!"
    "We were just kidding"

    "Drain the swamp"
    "Oh, how'd all these Goldman Sachs execs get into our Administration? Strange."

    Sure he has, bud.

    I'm sure there will be a point at which they are breaking out in cheers because Putin decides to engage in a bit more direct control of the US government.

    Close enough?

    That's fair. However I believe what you think is detrimental to American interests is arbitrary and not based in fact.

    Obama already did it. Our son had that experience, and it was related to Obamacare.

    As we have already established, by your logic, you have also surrendered any claim to morality. And thank you tool

    What about the cost of all of Obama's vacations?

    Putin's taking more direct control of the US government is too far fetched to seriously consider. I can help you with more legitmate criticism. Trump's measures sometimes seem to be poorly considered and executed. He is shooting himself in the foot too many times, and eventually his support will suffer.

    From what I have noted since Trump took office, Neither his supporters or Republicans in Congress will react negatively to Mr. Trumps actions regardless of either the people they "Represent. or the country/Constitution.

    Tecoya, that is also true of Democrats. It is a problem for our country as we divide into two hostile camps unable to compromise.
