Is Trump Mentally Well Enough to be President?

Hmmm, haven't been watch TV and didn't know that. Guess great minds think alike:smilingimp:
Or, you're both grasping at straws.

Exactly how is mocking reporters in retaliation for them mocking him a great play for Trump?

It has zero negative effect on the reporters. It provides the media with more fodder to make fun of him. And in this particular instance, it played right into the argument the reporters were making: that Trump is mentally unstable.

The fact that Trump even considers the taunts by talking heads to be fire is pathetic. They are nobodies. Their taunts mean nothing. He is the one giving them power by considering them worthy of a response. And worse, his return fire is laughable.

I mean, the guy isn't clever. "No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet!" He's going to a gun fight with a squirt gun.

There is no question he did it; the only question is if he can weasel his way out of it.

Definition of "steal" from Definition of STEAL
a : to take or appropriate without right or leave and with intent to keep or make use of wrongfully stole a carb : to take away by force or unjust means they've stolen our libertyc : to take surreptitiously or without permission steal a kissd : to appropriate to oneself or beyond one's proper share : make oneself the focus of steal the show


So in view of the above are you still saying that he stole monies from cancer kids. One must own something before it can be stolen.

Do you really think it makes it any better if we reword it to "Trump engages in shady financial practices to funnel money donated for children's cancer treatment into his own personal businesses"?

He is just playing a game of semantics (badly) to avoid the real issue: Trump lied and stole money from cancer kids.

doing quite well thank you.

Maybe if you are twelve.

You said, "One must own something before it can be stolen", but the money was given to the cancer kids by other people. I mean where did you think the money came from? Thin air? Magic? You are claiming there was no ownership on the money, and therefore it is OK for Trump to just take the money since no one owned it. That is just a thoughtless argument. How about you stick to the facts. There was ownership on the money and it was not Trump's. Play all the witless word games you want, but he either lied and stole from the donors or he lied and stole from the kids. Either way his actions are of questionable ethics.

You just admitted you don't have proof that money was stolen from cancer kids with your statement "he either lied and stole from the donors or he lied and stole from the kids."
I can almost play games as good as you and other do. However , I admit that I have a lot to learn when in comes to gamesmanship.

One can still love America without loving its government. When it's no longer a government "of the people," and "the government" and "the people" somehow become at odds with each other, with whom should we side: The government or the people?

Interesting topic. Just what do we mean by America?

What is one loving if one says he loves America? The American people? The principles in the Constitution? America's natural resources including it's purple mountains majesty and amber waves of grain?

Personally I think your understanding of semantics and context is lacking.

Good question. I would say that it encompasses a little bit of everything - the people, the culture, the way of life, the history, heritage (which would include the principles in the Constitution). Some people like the land and scenic beauty. America was founded on the principle of mistrust of government, so to be anti-government is to be pro-America.

Your tap dancing only highlights the fact that you won't deny the assertion.
When it is proven in a court of law then I will accept it. I try not to make assumptions based on accusations that are not proven. You know, something like innocent until proven guilty.
