"...A Moron!" Rex Tillerson.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader”.
Kelly also said he was "unhinged"...
McMaster also called him an "idiot".
People in his team suffer from TDS.

There's a bit of that with every small business owner that doesn't act like a business man. But then he owns 5 sub shops, and 25 rental properties.
"The Guy is a fucking Idiot!" all of his employees and tenants say.
I've seen it thousands of times, it's envy and nothing more. We've all been guilty of it.
Everyone despises people who fall face first into money and manage to make money in spite of themselves.
The people who feel that way about any successful person will never be successful. Even if that person got his seed money from wining the lottery or inheritance.
The ones putting their money to work always do well to the chagrin of their enemies and naysayers.
It's the one's that party and do drugs, and end up blowing it all on frivolous shit, that are the idiots.
If Trump were an Idiot, Hillary Clinton would be President running for her second term, and John Kelly would be bombing more innocent Syrian Children to the delight of President Hillary Clinton.

Trump is the past master of getting people to underestimate him. They're still underestimating him, and they are fired, and he's still President.

Heraclitsstudent found out that when a guy gets fired or is not listened to, he may call his boss a dope.
Whenever my female friend wants me to do something and I don’t, she calls me names.
Nobody cares what Kelly and Mattis said, they are military lifers.
The others were not agreeing with Trump’s plans so they are gone and pissed off.

What I don't understand at all is how firing people became a bad thing? If you don't like what they're doing, you're supposed to keep them.... said no responsible business person ever. And like you say, once they're fired they're going to talk shit, truth be damned.
If a business or entity is successful, I'll probably take the business owners side 8 out of 10 times versus listening to the fired employee. Sometimes it's more of a pain to fire someone than to keep them on and manage them differently.

Vast majority of large lotto winners go broke. So there's that. Same with a ton of multi million dollar athletes. So he's at least average to above average with finances where most people completely fail.
He transitioned to a different industry and whether you like him was pretty successful in entertainment. You don't have to like the Apprentice, but it was a successful show.
And finally he became POTUS.
All the above things... none of us here have accomplished. So either we're dumb or you at least have to admit there's some intelligence there with Trump. This isn't an attack on you personally marcus, but the intelligence argument is old and makes the person brining it up look petty. He has many flaws you could attack and intelligence really isn't one of them.
Also, is he really that successful ? How hard is it to be successful when you inherit several hundred million ?

I think you're saying you want a better speaking POTUS. I don't necessarily disagree. Up until last night, I don't think he's done all that bad for people. He hasn't helped me in any way, but most people I know seem to be happy with him living in blue ass IL. He's better than the alternative being presented at this point.
I am thoroughly pissed with his handling of this corona virus though. The ban on European travel is pure lunacy. It's going to bring more infected people back to the states. Retarded move. Every American and European that can, is going to flee Europe over the next day and a half bringing China ass hoe bat flu with them. And yes, I know the ban isn't for American citizens. As with all the hype over this virus, most people will just hear it comes into effect Friday and think they have to get out now. There's also no point of airlines loading up 25 Americans on a 777 and losing shit loads of money.
If you're going to restrict travel, just do it for everyone. Italy is clearly lazy (like all Italians are) and cannot control a flu bug. With the open borders, most Europeans and Americans traveling in Europe have been exposed to this. Either allow full travel or don't do a half assed travel ban. It won't take my vote away from Trump because the Democratic nominee is literally a senile retard, but pretty upset with this.

Uh - I think Trump was the ONLY politician on the Left or Right who was prescient enough to warn us about the risks of being too coupled with China with our supply chains and having an out of control immigration system.
I think the Corona-virus Pandemic is more than proving out these legitimate fears.
Also, just imagine how much more of a shit show it would be if Trump did what all of the Democrats advocated and banned fracking?
What was his great skills in getting elected ? Appealing to fears, and hate ?

Tulsi's still in! She's my candidate and if she actually makes it to the final election I would look at her policy proposals before I voted against her. For now, she says she is against war and that's enough for me to vote for her as a registered democrat in California. 25,600 other Californians voted for her.
Democrats are not stupid enough to run Biden against Trump, are they?
I would bet Biden could win a push up contest against Trump.

Why is Tulsi rejected by the Dem primary voters? What policy of hers is it that turns them off? Maybe they just do not like women, especially not women of color.

Don't hold your breath. Lefties have been dodging this for the past year. Somebody came out when Bloomberg finally made an appearance, but it looks like the Dems are saddled with a very flawed candidate that the base and most of the dem leaning voters think is a old corrupt Senator with early dementia.
All the Bernie kids and old hippies will stay home in droves, at least during campaign season, not feeling up to running phone banks or distributing fliers and signs.
All Biden does is not lose as badly as Bernie will, saving some of those Purple Area Democrats.

Trump's IQ test came back negative.
This is Trump's greatest weapon, the Elite and Democlod's under estimating of Trump's capabilities and resolve.
You give Trump Lemons, he will take it make a big glass of Lemonade with a big beautiful paper umbrella garnish.
The Corona Virus scam, canard, and hoax the New World Order perpetrated to bring down Trump's presidency, will be used as the death knell to send them all to hell.
China has already lost all of our important major supply chain. After the smoke clears, and this Pander-demic is behind us in the rear view mirror. We'll find more companies and manufacturing of goods, they have told us for decades was never coming back.
He beats the fuck out of them every time. Remember when I said one day, someone will come along and rip the arms and legs off the Establishment and beat the hell out of them with it? This is that GUY!
He's my kind of Dumb Son of a Bitch. Keep short changing him Marcus, he's almost done.

We don't always agree, but I'm of the opinion Trump has absolutely botched this on many levels. The idea that we can stop a virus is a joke. And I also don't care how past administrations have handled things like this. Since we haven't had a summer with this and people are infected in warm areas currently, the idea it goes away because of weather hasn't been proven.
This is the problem with not having older age limits in government. We're reacting and making policy out of fear because we're led by the old. Make the cut off the first year you can collect social security for an elected position (63ish?). Basically you cannot get on the ballot during the year you turn 63 (or whatever age it is). It's also another backdoor term limit rule in essence.

Obviously it's way higher than that by now.

Much worse - she is enabling corporate takeover of everything.
After a Pelosi staffer left to lobby on behalf of credit-card giant Visa, Pelosi delayed bringing to the House floor a bill to end lucrative "swipe fees" for Visa and other credit providers.
The bill couldn't have come at a worse time for Visa. It planned to launch an $18 billion public stock offering, so stalling Hill action became a priority. The San Francisco-based company curried favor with Pelosi by pumping cash into her re-election efforts, earning its CEO a rare one-on-one meeting with the speaker.
At the same time, Visa offered her husband a VIP cut of the IPO. Paul Pelosi jumped at the offer, buying 5,000 shares at the $44 initial price. In a couple of days, the shares soared to $64. Pelosi later bought 15,000 more, raising the total value of his investment to about $5 million. In the end, the legislation Visa fought starting in 2007 was forestalled two full years.

Are you forcibly suppressed from opposing Trump? Absolutely not. You and all the media do it regardless of facts 24/7/365.
Is everyone else prevented from supporting Trump? Absolutely. You will get beaten up if you simply wear a red hat around Democrats. Democrats are violently intolerant of calm and reasoned dialogue about Trump and his policies.
It's very sad. Democrats used to be pro-labor. Now they are pro-global-corporations and happy lapdogs barking RACISM! RACISM! to excuse and defend globalist devastation of America.
the fascism we are all dealing with now
@jazz_music What we have is in no way fascism. Please don't lie.
Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy
