SAY. IT. AGAIN. PRESIDENT. OBAMA.

"I'm hoping you think it's wrong to hear people spend years, months, vilifying people, questioning their patriotism, calling them enemies of the people. And then suddenly you're concerned about civility. Please."

To repeat the sign held by a young girl in the Women's March:

"We need a leader, not a creepy tweeter."


We also need a majority Congress that is not out to destroy our government.

that tRump is in the early stages of either dementia or alzheimers. He is being protected by those in the WH. At the signing of a bill at the WH about bullying(!!) he finished the speech, and was stepping down from the platform. He was to sign the bill. Maleria was standing there and he looked as though he did not know who she was. He reached out to shake her hand. She grabbed his hand, led him over to the table to sign the bill. If she had not done that, he would have left the room. Just like the gop shielded Saint Ronnie from the public knowing about his impairment, Don the Con is being protected. Meanwhile, he is doing tremendous harm to this country. We have a senior citizen with dementia running the country.

5. I don't think he's in the early stages of anything. His dementia is advanced.

Has no ability to put himself in anyone else's shoes. He knows how to ACT sympathetic--say the right words--at times, but there is no heart in it. I simply can't imagine tears coming to HIS eyes, as we witnessed numerous times with President Obama.

He does NOT know how to “act” sympathetic or say the right thing - ever!
Yesterday, with blood still on the floors of the temple and bodies being carried to hospitals and morgues, IQ45 said that they should have had an armed guard on duty - at a place of worship!
What dense pile of human waste he is!

9. Oh I agree. He's mostly wrong at these times.

I'm talking about the phony insincere statements, maybe written by others, that he tries first, before he launches into what he really thinks. He ends up as a fail.

8. There oughtta be a law against angry Americans telling repugs what they think

in dining establishments, on elevators, in public places.

But if you're a religious minority American who wants to engage in worship -- hey better get some private armed security, nothing the law can do to protect them from getting attacked. Rump consulted with his advisors Bannon and Flynn about that.

Let's not forget who the real victims are here: whiny blubbering tRump repugs.

12. He was the calmest, most civil president of my lifetime so far.

The Trumpsters didn't want civility. They like Trump because he gives voice to all the worst impulses of human character.
