He surrounds himself with only those people who feed his vanity and are "yes men." Otherwise, he verbally chops you down.

Trump's humor will not translate to an international diplomatic presence. Trump is a brilliant businessman, but he is NOT a qualified leader in the political sense. He will fail and we do not need an ego with no working knowledge of government to take off the training wheels when the world is on fire and our economy is just teetering on stability.
I will take "working knowledge" over "a working knowledge of government" any day of the week. We need some new ideas and enthusiasm in getting the country back to being America instead of a Global Economy. We need to spend more time fixing America and less time helping the globe.

Wrong. We need someone as a leader, who won't "pop off" and attack everyone who disagrees with him.....like a 10 year old, spoiled, ignorant School kid...'er, Brat.

If America is ever going to be anything near to what it used to be the communistic PC needs to go.

WHAT? Now that is just a delusional statement right there! What other candidate has referred to another as a MANIAC and NASTY. He called Graham an IDIOT. Called Ben Carson, "PATHOLOGICAL," and comparing him to a CHILD MOLESTER. Mocked a handicapped reporter. Mocked Perry for wearing glasses. Called Bush an unhappy person who is out of touch. Basically called Fiorina UGLY. Called Scott Walker "very dumb."

Trump called the people of Iowa and Americans in general, STUPID for supporting Ben Carson. Of course, should those "stupid" people come to their senses and declare their support for Trump, I am sure he will absolve them and call them "great."

No other candidate has acted as uncivilly and disrespectful to the other candidates and to the public in general than Donald Trump.

But, after the Wild, Crazy talk from Trump, recently ...... Any sapient, rational adult must question Donald Trump's personal Mental and Emotional Stability ...

AS I have, I am truly Sad to say, regarding Donald Trump support for POTUSA, I back Away.

You are not alone in your waning support of Trump. Here is something I am sure his supporters will ignore:


Quote:

The problem with that is that successful though Donald Trump may be, hefails all the time. He’s had four bankruptcies.
Then there’s Trump steaks,Trump Vodka, Trump the Game, Trump Magazine, Trump Mortgage, Trump Airlines,Trump University, Trump Casinos, the New Jersey Generals and happily, he also lost a lawsuit and was unable to take a widow’s home via eminent domain so he could build a limo parking lot.

Trump has been a successful businessman, but an awful lot of investors who put money into his ill-advised projects because they just assumed he’d find a way to win have gotten burned doing business deals with him.

I remember all the failures of Obama that his supporters also disregarded, and we see how well that has worked out!

I would agree that one builds or destroys their reputations by what they speak and write. That applies to everyone, not just Trump.

Donanl Trump describes the current Leaders of this Nation as incompetent, ..."Stoopid."

That's a statement I completely agree with Trump.

But, don't underestimate...the Ton's of incompetent, Stoopid voters, who put these Stoopid leaders in Office.

I actually think it just the opposite.

I agree with the premise of your thread, but you really need to re-think that font.

I find Keith Richards entertaining but even if he was a native born American I wouldn't consider him a good candidate for POTUS.

And just what is it allegedly smart people find entertaining about loud-mouthed, narcissistic blowhards in general and Trump in particular?

What I find a bit entertaining is how many of the same people who've been whining for years about what a narcissist Obama is are now in love with Donny as if he's anything but.

Not a supporter, but to me it seems like his supporters are like those kids that hang out with the class bully and stand behind him when he bullies other kids and calls people names, etc., and they cheer him on because he is saying what they really want to say, but are not willing to say themselves, so they have plausible deniability when the bully goes too far.
