1)How hard is it to be presidential? Like this is the type of motherfucker who shows up to a funeral trying to strip jewelry off a corpse because ‘He owes me money’. Like how do you have no decorum? All you gotta say is shit like, “blah blsh blah unprecidented storm, we sent thousands of troops, we stand with puerto rico...”. This niggas like, “Yo, they owe me money, fuck em”. LOL.

Trump makes money off his current role and could care less about being Presidential. Conservatives and most Republicans except me have destroyed everything prestigious about this office over the last eight years and counting.
Trump is Presidential to the alt right, conservatives, racists, xenophobes, misogynists, men's rights activists, and his rich donors. Everyone else can kick rocks.
The weird thing about Trump voters is history. What happens when his approval rating hits 25%? He's riding off the Obama administration's policies right now and using executive orders to legislate. At every point thus the vast majority of Americans reject his policies. What happens when the policies he inevitably pushes through fail the American people?
There's an ongoing investigation into his business dealings as well....

people keep acting like there's gonna be some big dramatic turn. this mother fucker just talked shit about a mayor who's literally watching people die... and tweeted it from a golf course. it gets no lower than this. we're at bottom. and he's at 38% approval. if he gets impeached, that will probably go up as conservatives dig their heels in.

Some how the worst thing to come out of the hurricanes in PR was that the the media was mean to the president smh.
The mayor in PR rightly called the admin out for patting themselves on the back and hanging the mission accomplished banner early. Trump feels personally attacked so vents on an struggling US citizens trying to survive
27. "How is it not necessary? Trump has been a disaster" In response to Reply # 26
and his ridiculous comments are a big part of it. He has made himself and his country look bad at every chance, and he’s constantly starting fires. Perception matters.

Yeah, that’s true. His base seems to like him even more, the more of an asshole he acts like. All those business backing away from him, people quitting, public figures that used to support him turning on him though.

That they voted for this and continue to support it.
I gave up trying to figure out 'what it's going to take' to make his supporters leave him en masse. I have accepted there is nothing he can say or do. If they were down after 'grab em by the pussy' then he can do anything. He really can murder someone on 5th AV and not lose support. It's sickening. And it makes me increasingly nihilist and angry.

theyre cool with all of this til the shit hits *their* shoes.
like nfl owners. they had no problem with anything trump had done up til recently. some even supported him. as soon as he turned *them* into political punching bags then its 'we gotta unify and stick together' lol.
12. "I can't even be friends with people that support dude" In response to Reply # 0
By that i mean the "i vote republican and im a nice person" friends that are actually good people and voted for him out of party affiliation. There has to be some sort of line in the sand where people say "i vote republican but this man is a horrible human being and i cant defend that."

for as asinine and piggish and bro-y as Trump is
he still aint on Dubyas wave
Trump don't got an Iraq and Afghanistan
he still don't got a Katrina (yes, Puerto Rico is it, but HALF of Americans don't even know PRicans are Americans. They think it's a foreign affair :/)
he still don't got the housing collapse
he doesn't have a failed national policy like NCLB
yeah, Trump got time, but most of the reason we hate him is because of what he says, not what he's actually doing.
34. "was responding to mynoriti, lol" In response to Reply # 29
and we agree that Obama couldn't get away with what Trump says
and absolutely Dubya would have gotten away with it. That fool mumble fumbled him self through all kinds of shit. The nationalism was just as strong then or stronger, we just got off being attacked
"On behalf of all of the people of Texas, and all of the people -- if you look today and see what is happening, how horrible it is but we have it under really great control -- Puerto Rico and the people of Florida who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them."
38. "He called Jerry Jones 4 times Mon begging him not to let the team kneel" In response to Reply # 37 Sun Oct-01-17 10:19 PM by PimpTrickGangstaClik
Then Jerruh went out there and kneeled with his team anyways. Remember, Trump said the NFL thing didn't distract him from PR (despite the fiftyleven tweets)? That's evidence.
History books are going to have such a hard time explaining this presidency.
President Trump last Monday reportedly called Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones four times imploring him not to let his team kneel during the national anthem.
The president repeatedly called Jones while the owner stood in the locker room before the Monday night football game against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.
Trump's apparent persistence didn't pay off. Jones and the entire Cowboys team briefly knelt before the national anthem began. The team then stood as the anthem was sung.
The Dallas Cowboys were among several teams that demonstrated during the weekend.
Jones, who according to CNN donated $1 million to President Trump's inaugural committee, joined several other NFL owners who stood or knelt with their teams after Trump lasted out at athletes who don't honor the anthem.
The protests came in response to comments Trump made during a rally in Alabama last month, in which he called on kneeling players to be fired. The president was met with fierce backlash from NFL players, coaches and executives over the weekend, leading to a wave of kneels or other forms of protest against his attacks.
