    Why?


    * To show respect for the office of the presidency even when they don't agree with or like the current office holder.
    * To show respect for the millions of fellow Americans who did vote for Trump.
    * To help unite the country.
    * To show the world that America isn't a banana republic and always comes together after an election no matter how bitter and divisive.

    ** And finally, ironically, liberals should support Trump to show they're better than he is.

    you're hilarious. Respect for the office? As if the republicans had any respect at all for Obama.
    No. You get no respect. You will be treated how Obama was treated for 8 years.

    You don't get it, do you? Clinton received 2 1/2 million more votes than Trump. They didn't attend the rallies. Only Trump's cheering fans did. Trump doesn't speak for America. He was outvoted by a large margin. Yet, he did nothing to unite America. By his gloating and arrogant attitude he exacerbated the divide. Some might question his intelligence for doing that. No other President-elect has gone on a moronic victory tour. All other Presidents-elect tried to unite the nation after an election. Not Trump.

    So then you're saying that you're no better than the republicans you despise? Partisanship before country?

    Republicans chose Russia over their country. Trump chose Russia over the US. BTW I'm not American. I just want to let you know respecting a President that sides with Russian intelligence over his own country's intelligence is treasonous in my mind and so by default are all his supporters including you.

    Do you live in the United States? Then he's your president elect too. Just as president Obama (a man I didn't vote for) has been my president for the last eight years.

    Ya know Trump was a democrat most of his life and he holds a lot of liberal views? If democrats quit attacking him (which causes him to fight back) and instead stroked his ego they'd probably find that he'd work with them on many of their issues. He's already backtracked on some of his far right campaign promises.

    Trump is malleable. His opinions can be shaped by the American public. If the democrats worked with him they might discover, to the chagrin of the republicans, they he's really a liberal.


    Edit to add. Ah no, I see you don't live in the U.S. You live in Canada.
    Then he's not going to be your president so no need for you to worry. He's not going to invade Canada. (probably)

    Yeah trump is liberal all right,

    Trump king of the birthers, he's pro life, he doesn't support gay people marrying, he said women who get sexually assaulted at work should find a new job, he thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax and he hates free trade. That's totally liberal positions.. NOT.

    I'm glad I don't live in your mind. The mind that thinks a man who wants to give corporations tax cuts is a liberals. I mean it's like you don't even think before you type. Trump is republican.

    Why can't he show support for his supporters? That's just silly.

    I do not agree with you that the Obama idea of begging "please, please, please give it back" was the way to go. Until the modern restraints on our military forces, the Chinese would have never gotten it. A small fast Chinese military boat, warned to reserve course and not doing so - would have been immediately blown out of the water.

    Think back to Pearl Harbor prior to the attack and no state of war announced - saw a periscope within the security perimeter. What did he do? Acting as a ship's captain should, he immediately attacked and depth charged it - reporting it immediately afterwards. He didn't have to call his CO who contacted his CO who contacted that some assistant Secretary of Defense who contacted the Secretary of Defense who then had to ask the President what to do before taking action.

    The rule that no Naval captain can take any defensive action until actually fired upon first - unless going thru the hours to days of 10 layers of reviewers and the White House first is absurd. The rule should be simple. The captain of the ship is the captain of the ship. If any foreign vessel or aircraft is charging at or acting in a threatening manner the captain should have full independent authority to take any action - excluding the release of nuclear weapons.

    That captain should have via radio (contact had been made) "reverse course immediately or we will open fire." And if the course was not reversed done exactly that. Remember, our Navy ship was there and the small boat launched by the Chinese was rushing towards our ship, not just just the drone. We are building drone warships now too. Apparently, at least for current leadership, and foreign power could just seize them too.

    Trump's response was correct. "Just keep it. Oh, BTW, since I'm on the phone, this is just FYI that next week there will be a new 20% tariff on all electronics imported from China."

    I bet China would declare it was all just a misunderstand by a rogue commander - explaining "so sorry, it won't happen again" and gave it back without any pleading.To China's excuse it was "a navigational hazard," the response SHOULD have been "you might have a point. I'll look into building a couple of our own dredged sand military base new islands in the international waters of the South China Sea for our military so we don't need drones."

    I just noticed you're in Canada. So what makes you think you can talk for democrats in the United States?







    It's a very kinky place in my mind. You might find you like it.
    Anyway, our conversation is derailing the OPs thread so I'm going out to get pizza.

    Because I'm a human and if someone talked crap and made up malicious rumours about my beloved political figure I wouldn't get behind that person should they be the next leader. It's called loyalty. I'm loyal to my political ideology. I wouldn't get behind a leader that wants to turn over all liberal policies. It makes NO SENSE for a liberal to support a President that doesn't believe climate change is real and wants to undo everything that you support. NO SENSE. AT, ALL.

    This nation has already been divided for years now. If you're just now noticing this then you've either haven't been paying attention or you were just to focused on partisan politics.

    The truth is if you feel like we're being divided then it's on you to do something about it. That begins with giving and showing respect to people even if you disagree with them. That's called being
    an adult and unfortunately we have far to many children on both sides. But if you're complaining and your plan is to add to it then you are no more then a hypocrite. And as long as that continues we'll just drift further and further apart as a nation. It's your call.

    Yes, but two things.

    Firstly, this is the first time in history that a victory such as Trump's has taken place. He was outspent, the sitting president was against him, the mainstream media was against him, establishment politicians in both major parties were against him, Hollywood personalities were against him, polls indicated he had no chance of winning. By every conceivable measure, Trump should have lost badly. But he didn't. He was able to make a connection with voters in a good many states. It seems reasonable to want to return to those states and thank those voters.

    In addition, I've watched three of the speeches Trump has delivered during this victory tour. I've been impressed by how, in each of those speeches, Mr. Trump made clear that the victory belonged to the voters who supported him, and that unlike what has been typical for past politicians, he assures his supporters that he will keep the promises that he made during the campaign: he will build a wall on the southern border, he will do what he can to keep factories from moving out of the country, he will rebuild and support our military, he will support the nation's law enforcement people. I see no reason to be upset about a man who was told he couldn't win speaking to those who disagreed with that sentiment.

    After tomorrow, Mr. Trump becomes president-elect of the entire country, and he can begin to address the divisions; prior to that, I see no reason to criticize his thanking those who brought about the greatest upset in the history of U.S. politics.

    Well as an intelligence officer, I would think you'd be able to recognize a rather talented group of individuals. Say what you like about their political views, you don't reach the level of General or CEO without knowing a little something about managing people and material.

    1. Tillerson is not a Climate skeptic. Has approved a carbon tax on behalf of Exxon.

    2. Sessions is not a racist. Is praised by black leaders in Alabama.

    3. Pudzer is pro worker but anti-union. Workers and union bosses are not the same thing nor do they have the same objectives.

    4. Mattis is no longer in the military. He is a civilian.

    5. Pruitt is a "climate denier". So am I. I deny the whole "man made global warming" hoax. We need someone to shove the climate religionists out of government so they can stop trying to take over our lives. No, no, no to EPA fascists demanding control over a farmer's land because he has a low spot that accumulates rain water over a week or two period every year..

    6. Perry will be great. Maybe he can dismantle Energy. At least he can save taxpayers some money on "green energy" Solyndra type boondoggles.

    7. David FRiedman is an actual friend of Israel, unlike Obama who was so hostile to Israel, he tried to subvert their elections to get a person in power who would surrender to the Palestenians.

    8. Steve Bannon ROCKS.

    9. Nikki Haley has as much experience in foreign affairs as Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama.

    10. Ben Carson grew up in public housing.

    Outstanding choices all.

    Humble. You mean like "I won" Obama was humble and "reached out"?

    Trump went on a thank you tour to thank his supporters. During the same time Obama went on an apology tour to various foreign countries, including Saudi Arabia.

    People keep saying "Hillary got more votes", like it even matters. It doesn't.

    Trump's arrogance?

    At least Trump invites as many people as possible to his "thank you" tour.

    You do realize Cankles is having her own "thank you" tour right? The difference of course, is that only the wealthiest donors get to go to her "rallies".

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...ey-didnt-make-the-cut/?utm_term=.e5fa8a68db43

    If you're not important enough, you don't get to attend her rallies.

    Talk about arrogant.
