Do you see Trump as 'a straight shooter', or as being 'thin-skinned'?

I seriously can't decide which I think...probably somewhere in the middle of the two.

The guy can't take criticism, but a lot of the folks he lashes out at deserve it.

Somebody warn George.

ETA: Dang. Original OP title had "strait". I had a Singapore thing I could have used, too.

He doesn't hate America like the previous regime. That's for sure.

I'd say a majority of people can't either, if they're being honest.

From what I've heard, he takes constructive criticism about as well as any General or CEO I've ever met. He is particularly sensitive to media type attacks though. So yeah, you could say 'thin skinned'. You could also say 'extremely combative'.

At the same time, I love his sick bantz.

Loves America, a straight shooter, but somewhat thin skinned. Sometimes it serves him real well in not letting attacks on him go unchecked.

Some folks think our president should not get to that level; however these attacks from the left, progressives and liberals are unprecedented as to their intensity.

are just accustom to republicans running and hiding every time someone calls them racist, sexist, X-ist. Trump doesn't put up with that shite, so they call him thin skinned. The best part is, they melt when he does it. They don't see the irony in that.

All of Trump's friends have described him as such. Both O'Reilly and Howard Stern told him his skin was too thin for the political game and the mass scrutiny he'd go under.

Learn something every day. Mine is spelled with an e instead of a y so I hope you see the reason for the question.
