If your contention is that President Donald Trump has the propensity to sound like a bully and an authoritarian, I'm with you. If you're arguing that Trump's rhetoric is sometimes coarse and unpresidential, I can't disagree. I'm often turned off by the aesthetic and tonal quality of his presidency. And, yes, Trump has an unhealthy tendency to push theories that exaggerate and embellish small truths to galvanize his fans for political gain. Those are all legitimate political concerns.

He could be talking about 0bama here, or just about any politician. Trump is not a politician though. Like him or hate him he's not fake, he's the real deal man!

You are exactly right, and the “real deal” is what attracted many voters to actually come out and vote for him. He has neither pontificated that he is morally pure, nor does he act like he is on the Dr Phil show needing begging to be told how to straighten out his life.

Significant numbers of people have been conditioned to accept how our elected (politicians) are to behave. They accept the fact that they put on masks, lie to you, etc. but speak so “intelligently” and use political correctness to control people, to take away their liberties. Trump has unmasked many of these elected, and their non-elected conspirators. He has taken on political correctness, and he is a threat to all that they have built for themselves and their buddies at the expense of the country.

I don’t kid myself. If Trump spoke in the terms of BO sweetness and their definition of presidential, if he wouldn’t tweet, Trump would be just as hated by them, reviled and subject to the same vitriol. But by being something he is not, he never would have been elected. God Bless America that we are not all the same.

In other words, Donald Trump is a man, talks like a man, acts like a man in the era of the wuss. . .like the guy who wrote this article!

My very thought!

I’ve TRIED to “hear” this in Trump. I dont.
Hes President. The President is a LEADER.

Yes, of COURSE, hes gonna sound deliberate. This is real life, not Mr. Roger’s neighborhood.

Obama was a snarky little spiteful weasel when he spoke. He was like the acid tongue jerk in jr. High school who was safe to bully you cos he was surrounded by his thugs.
AND that hes half black and you touch him... you’re a racist...
