   This is who you voted for, this is who you defend. He is a disgusting and pathetic excuse of a human. And if you think there's nothing wrong with this, you're not that far behind.

      A lot of people are watching him just to see what boner he is going to pull next. My husband watches him for that reason because he does a show on PalTalk and likes to argue with the participants who support Trump.

   I am a great friend and admirer of the Queen & the United Kingdom. It was reported that Harry and Meghan, who left the Kingdom, would reside permanently in Canada. Now they have left Canada for the U.S. however, the U.S. will not pay for their security protection. They must pay!

      I don't know what to make of this. I know you are one who never has anything good to say about Trump but I can't imagine anyone suggesting the American taxpayer should foot the bill for security of individuals.
      
      Are you saying you think we should foot the bill or not?

                     This is a sincere effort to respond. I think the point is, why is the POTUS tweeting such petty, small-minded comments during a time of crisis?

                           Yes, we know that's what he does, but Sandy's question was why? I personally think what a POTUS says should be important and factual. You apparently don't care if it's either true or important.

                              Your front runner can't even remember that crap gets recorded so every time he lies it's easy to compare what he says now to what he said 5 days ago, 5 weeks ago, 5 months ago. Etc.
                              
                              If your argument is Trump lies its a freaky weak argument.

                                             Trump is the most embarrassing POTUS on record by bragging on himself about almost anything at anytime. I hope people who voted for him have kids who follow his example of honesty. Perhaps his enablers would get what they truly deserve.

                           We obviously differ on what's important in a leadet, especially during a time of crisis. I wonder if any leadership training anywhere calls for focusing on the trivial, taking no responsibility for mistakes, and pointing fingers at the front line as guiding principles of outstanding leadership? Heck, let's lower expectations and say just competent leadership.
