Correct. It has always been my #1 criticism of Trump from the very beginning.

To me, if the #1 thing you don't like about a candidate is that they say mean things, you may well have found a nearly flawless candidate.

There are several reasons why his approval is 38% right now. Stuff like this will only push it lower. Sad!

as I said in the other thread, I realized a while ago that I'm never going to agree with the POTUS on policies a majority of the time due to my beliefs and the way our system is set up

so I decided I would judge mostly off leadership skills

Trump has zero in that regard

bullshite. So you want to imply you are..and have been, a Trump supporter? If you weren't a supporter, you would most likely not have found him putting his foot in his mouth something to criticize. What were numbers 2 and 3 criticisms?

I don't think you are seeing the big picture here.

Yes he says dumb things.

But he also has illegal immigration down just with rhetoric alone.

He has our military being feared again.

These are examples of leadership that Trump is doing right.

Most of leadership is just putting the right people in place and knowing when to let others go.

They're not alarmed or pissed, they're just jumping on the next thing to attack him on since Muh Russians has practically collapsed.

#2 is his big government policies

#3 is lack of experience in foreign policy and military

anything else?

I agree with SOME of what he wants to accomplish.

But, if I find out that he starts using government agencies to attack my neighbors, I'll immediately convert to opposing him vehemently.

That makes me better than about 99% of the liberals who have ever graced this board or in the press or who are prominent.

This is correct.

A lot of very effective leaders in history have been people who had no filter.

Agreed. If Moron Joe and Mika can dish it they should be able to take it.

as was your retort

How so? Providing context to a confused knee jerk response is the opposite of a Pavlovian response...but you agree that my claim of the comment to me was Pavlovian. Can you describe what you identified as Pavlovian in his reply to me?
Thanks.

He is the president of the United States of America. He should be held to a higher standard. I grew up thinking the president was a man of great power and grace. I didn't care for W and he could sound like a jackass sometimes but the man treated people with respect and dignity no matter what they said about him in the press. Trump's policy's do not bother me to be honest with you i want to see if they will actually work to help America. The tweeting will not stop and in the end it will make his agenda and presidency a dumpster fire.

They were dumb when Democrats were doing it with Bush, and they are dumb now with Obama.

Obama is gone, let him go.
