    If you cannot even see him as the narcissistic jerk he is...there is no way you can realistically assess him.

    He is horrible as a president...he is an abomination as a person.

    Which Frankly begs the question.When on earth will Hollywood
    git around to a fitting remake of :
    - Tammy Tell Me true - { 1961 }
    I mean ... John Gavin did become an ambassador under Reagan to
    Mexico.Dig Daddios ... all yuz Gringos.
    Trump is a Reagan w/o need for all them pleasantries and
    fancy political bullcrap.Reagan was also universally despised by the
    MSM.It comes with the territory.Which is why merely being a Republican
    or a Bodybuiler Republican is not enough.Arny Schwarzenegger wasn't
    cut out for any Presidency.Plus of course his eligibility issues.
    Trump is The best Babyface political Grappler in American History.
    He can also play the Heel, when nature calls.He's an all around
    heat-maker.He knows just where to put the heat for dramatic effect.
    His Fans and voters understand that.Most Pols talk the talk but fail to
    reap any rewards for We the People.Because talk is cheap.As far as
    Politics ... cheaper than cheap.The democrat Presidential wannabees
    are proving that every time they open their mouths.
    Pols basically live to fundraise to get re-elected.There are no
    Andrew Carnegie's as Pols.The closest we came was Ronald Reagan.
    Trump is an extension of that kind of American only with a P.T.Barnum
    way of doing business.

    I understand the opposition is all about looks and aesthetics and not results.

    Name for me One thing Obama said that was The God's Honest Truth.
    Virtually everything he said had at least a tinge of dishonesty.
    " there's not a smidgen of corruption " was a classic example.
    Plus the guy was Never vetted.Which explains why the names
    Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko were seldom ever mentioned.
    The only reason his Pastor { Jeremiah Wright } was brought to the
    public's attention was due to those Trinity Baptist Church Videos
    that were made available and exposed.Sean Hannity was instrumental
    in making sure americans knew all about this Guy { Pastor Wright }
    who married the Obama's and baptized his kids.
    How come you never hear the name Jeremiah Wright.Probably because
    he was very close friends { Lived nearby outside Chicago } with the Infamous
    Louis Farrakhan.A huge anti-Semite.Jews vote in the same percentile
    as Blacks for Democrats { 90 - 95 % }.Most those running news organizations
    or newspapers are Jewish and instantly fell in love with Obama.
    therefore No vetting.

    He doesn't levy taxes, he attempts to bring china into compliance with U.S. needs with tariffs. You have been indoctrinated by left wing blogs.

    Which explains why Obama's one Achilles heel as far as looks
    was handled instantly by David Axelrod.Who deemed certain things
    OFF LIMITS in 2008 regarding his boy ... Obama.His middle name,his
    religion and use of the word Liberal.Plus ... His Ears.No mention of Obama's
    big Ears was allowed.That is how Democrats handle things as far as looks.
    Because just fabricating stories or scuttlebutt won't cut it.
    Looks seldom can be manipulated.But words and actions and
    intent certainly are manipulatable.

    They are fine as long as you understand that they are not facts. Feel free to ignore my opinions as well.

    I was just playing the game you proposed...which apparently was to name countries of the world.

    If you want to go back to your post and explain what you meant...I'll respond.

    Tariffs are taxes. By definition. He levied them. Just because facts are inconvenient for your politics does not make them cease to be facts.

    And my attacks on tariffs come from the right, not the left. Also, you should really know by now that the tariffs involve more than just China.

    Unlike the President, you should also understand that US companies pay those taxes (and, yes, they are taxes), not China, and that the trade deficit he is trying to fix is not an actual monetary deficit -- it is not lost wealth.

    I read your posts because I want to hear your opinions. I just do not understand why you think they are nothing.

    Well, for one thing he criticized Farrakhan. Do you disagree with his criticism of Farrakhan?

    And what are those results the Trump fans are so proud of. A tax cut that reaped multi-million dollar benefits to the top one percent? Deregulation? Like allowing coal companies to dump their slag directly into rivers? Like turning the entire American international strategy of spreading democracy into one based on transactions? Like licking the boots of Putin, Ehrderon, Kim Jung Un, and Duterte while kicking allies in the face? How about extorting Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden? Like repeating and promoting conspiracy theories debunked by United states Intelligence? Like favoring Putin lies over seventeen U.S. Intelligence Agencies?

    Those kind of results?

    It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.

    Quibble about semantics all you like, but I'd appreciate if you didn't call the Constitution political nonsense.

    You tell me. I was correcting a comment you made about the motivation of my attacks.

    Reality disagrees.

    Thank you for acknowledging your mistake. But, no, China is not "almost all of it."

    Oh, my gosh. You think Trump is honoring laws with his narcissism.

    Okay...I get that.

    Trump can certainly help keep the government out of the way of prosperity. And he's supposedly doing just that. Ton of stuff here about the good the bad and the ugly : https://www.quora.com/Speaking-comp...-based-on-only-what-he-has-done-in-the-office

    What's your point?
