I know that I don’t have any idea what is going on behind the scenes, but I cannot help but think that there really isn’t a lot of upside for Trump to be doing this. I understand pride, and getting back at someone for a snide public remark...but maybe a simple, “Well, he’s got his opinion, and I’ve got mine” would have sufficed. Bigger fish to fry, and all that.

I say this as someone who proudly voted for Trump to be POTUS, twice, and am looking forward to doing the same in 2020. Everyone steps in a steaming pile every once in a while...and I believe that this is one of those times for my favorite President in 3 1/2 decades.

Pres really needs a little filter on his twitter mouth. He appointed the guy he now claims is a dumb rock and that same rock made a lot of stockholders happy at Exxon.

Love what Trump is trying to do -just wish he could come across as a little more in control of his keyboard emotions.

Agreed. And, I think the daily evil onslaught by all his detractors is wearing him down.

Well, all due respect.....this is how our President responds
Take it or leave it!
He’s not going to play nice, and we love him for it.
