@McGentrix,
Quote:I don't buy it. Money can buy a lot of stuff, but not the presidency.
I agree. He didn't "buy" the presidency. It was given to him because the combination of wealth, celebrity, and ego struck many people as the qualifications of leadership. And running against Clinton didn't hurt.
Quote:You guys keep making Trump out to be some bumbling clod ...
As Finn has pointed out, much of this is a matter of style. But if you think that's all anyone is criticizing you just haven't been reading very carefully. I've stated, more than once, that the biggest problem with the temporary travel ban wasn't that the decision was made — it was that the order was carried out hurriedly and in the midst of confusion. Ineptitude, pure and simple.
Quote:Also, actual dumb people can't hold onto money or create several successful businesses.
Again, I never said he was "dumb", just that the kind of smarts required to be a real estate tycoon aren't necessarily applicable to the presidency. Also, actual dumb — and actual smart — people can't hold onto money and can declare bankruptcy several times in the course of their career.
Quote:The left, every day, talks about Trumps tweets, his hair, his family, his whatever of the moment.
For christ's sake, this thread is specifically concerned with the observation of Mr. Trump and the people he surrounds himself with. It's all grist for the mill. If you don't like it, how about just talking about what he is doing that you agree with instead of acting hurt and getting defensive — or is that all you have on the guy — that he's being picked on by lefties!
