Trump AWOL

[Polymath257]

Yes, but then, what's in it for Trump, at this point? His universe revolves around himself.

Frankly, I suspect the country is better off with him playing golf than throwing his weight about. Best to let the officials try to do what they can by themselves until normal service is resumed after 20th Jan.

He should *at least* make the briefings and transition money available so the next president isn't unduly hinderd when he gets into office.

Other than that, you may be right. having the incompetent narcissist out of the office might be the better case.

When will people look up what constitutes treason and quit misapplying the term

He's giving aid and comfort to our enemies.

 

[Evangelicalhumanist]

Do you think that his playing less golf &
more White House would improve things?

No, he's actively looking for companies that want to drill in pristine, protected Arctic areas before leaving office.

I hope you are not serious.

Yes you are right about the briefing obviously.

I'm totally serious.

Putin for one will be delighted that Trump is investing so much energy in undermining the trust of voters in American democracy. Xi will not be exactly disappointed either.

Donald is out golfing every day. At his golf course and not anyone elses. This way he can overcharge the tax payer and pocket the proceeds.

He's cost the American taxpayer $142,000,000 for his golfing outings. But he gave up his presidential salary!!!!!!!! ($1.6 million)

Trump Golf Count

So his playing golf might actually interfere with that.

Some who post on RF support Trump primarily because of his appointments of anti-abortion Supreme Court judges.

And this is my biggest gripe with some of the self-proclaimed "pro-life" who somehow only see being pro-life in terms of abortion (and sometimes euthanasia) while ignoring the many other pro-life issues. In some cases, I believe it's largely an excuse to buy into and push a secular right-wing political agenda while ignoring these other issues.

As oft been said, so many Pubs push "pro-life" with the unborn but then refuse to support pro-life programs after they're borne.

Sometimes I find you a tad difficult to read...

But really, I think you must admit that his behaviour since the election was decided has been egregious, no?

Of course.
I've said so, although not using that exact word.
I said (pardon me French)....

What's hard to read?

I wish there were a side of American politics
inhabited by reasonable persons.

So determined to call treason where it does not exist. Not wise even if what goes around didn't come sround.

You guys making up laws and their definitions
doesn't make them real and, again, watch for what comes around.

Anti-Trumpers...pro-Trumpers....each uses language in a manner that makes God cry.

Ultimately, I think he will end up being the best of the worst or the worst of the best... average. And Congress (right and left) there with him.

In the last 120 years, the only one I can think of that is (possibly) worse is Hoover.

 

[SomeRandom]

I’ve never understood Trump’s appeal at all. He has no charisma, no sense of style, he speaks like an uneducated buffoon and he lacks any semblance of thought.
I mean geez, even Hitler was a compelling orator.

Sorry for the foreign intrusion, that was just bugging me.

Dubya is better?

Professor Higgins, too.

A year from now maybe a lot of things will have mproved.

Yes. At this point, I yearn for the coherence and honesty of Dubya *and* Cheney.

Setting aside the person, how do you compare their
policies, war records, etc?
