Really?? You voted for Trump???

That would be hard to believe, based on your daily TARD posts and threads.

My "we" was in the American "we". I clearly didn't vote for Trump. You are correct. One might infer, by that language and use of "we" I think the situation is moving beyond something cheap and partisan in nature. As in "we did this, we better fix this."

- When the President first attacked the media, it was typical, and what one might call his "Mussolini tendency"

- When he used disparaging language against judges, especially the comments around the 9th circuit, that's probably the most dangerous thing he has said to date. (Still processing the press briefing from today, so we could have a new winner). He was attacking balance of power in the nation: our system of Democracy itself.

- But, when he attacks his own branch of government, and intelligence services appear to be attacking him, well that's a visible sign there is chaos in the security apparatus of the nation. That's not good at all!

So tell me, in your mind, this is ALL Trump's fault, after being in office 3 weeks? The chaos in those organizations just appeared these last few weeks?

Yes. Trump is a radically destabilizing President. There is an unprecedented amount of turmoil and conflict surrounding him.

Ironman says

You don't think the 9th Circuit has a known "history" that's NOT friendly to Repubs?

To suggest they are unfriendly to Repubs, means you buy into courts being partisan out of the gate. That's garbage. The courts are often a reflection of the values of the greater communities, and states they are in, but they are ruling on interpretation of the law.

Sounds a bit like sour grapes, we lost, boo-hoo to me.

Ironman says

Why do you have an issue with people standing up and defending themselves against false claims and statements?

No issue with that. Where are these grand false claims? Proof? I would have assumed smart people like Kellyanne and Spicer could have corrected the record by now, right? The President better get better people fast if he has a case to make, because no one credible is making it. To date, the administration is the one being shown to be lying, and lashing out with falsehoods.

Bottom line: when the majority of people didn't vote for you, the party you ran as head of is looking for an opportunity to go against you, there have been the biggest protests in the nations history since you have taken office, and the opposition party is considered not only the Democrats but the entire media ... well ... the world may feel like it is against you, because ... it is!

Perfect. who wants the "business as usual" nonsense that paralyses the government.

Rew says

You got that right. Who cares what the rest of the world wants? Put America first.

Ironman says

You're kidding right??? You want readers to believe the 9th isn't partisan??? Really?? There's a reason why 80% of their rulings get overturned at the S.C.

The 9th circuit also has the most decision upheld of any court. It also has the most case rulings of district courts.

Ironman says

Shouldn't they be ruling ON the LAW, and not "interpreting it"

You cannot rule, without interpreting. I know this is hard for you to believe, but everything is interpreted.

Ironman says

Not this crap again..... Do I need to give you a refresher on how Presidents are elected in this country?

Trump is the second or third President to lose the popular vote by such a great margin.
He is also the most unpopular president since Gallup has kept records. Ever.

Ironman says

because 62 MILLION people wanted the "status quo" destabilized. When will you finally admit that?

Some of those voting for Trump held that view as a primary reason to vote for him. Was it a majority of Trump voters? I haven't seen any polling/surveys that shows that. Link?

Obama was a very popular President. Even more popular in other countries. What good was he? Being President is not a popularity contest. It's about doing what's right, even if it's unpopular.

Trump's platform emphasizes renegotiating U.S.–China relations and free trade agreements such as NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, strongly enforcing immigration laws, and building a new wall along the U.S.–Mexico border. His other positions include pursuing energy independence while opposing climate change regulations such as the Clean Power Plan and the Paris Agreement, modernizing and expediting services for veterans, repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, abolishing Common Core education standards, investing in infrastructure, simplifying the tax code while reducing taxes for all economic classes, and imposing tariffs on imports by companies offshoring jobs. He advocates a largely non-interventionist approach to foreign policy while increasing military spending, "extreme vetting" of immigrants from Muslim-majority countries to preempt domestic Islamic terrorism, and aggressive military action against ISIS. His positions have been described by scholars and commentators as populist, protectionist, and nationalist.

it's call winning!

kicking ass in congress and humiliating his haters on the nets at the same time.

Trump gets in the liberals' face.
