"This is a president who, more than any other, is punitive," Schiff said of Trump's Calif. fire response. "He is only the president, I think in his view, of those who voted for him."
Schiff added Trump couldn't "care less" about "the rest" of the nation.

(814 posts)He makes it obvious he does not give a shit about the states that did not vote for him. But, Trump does not give a shit about anyone, but himself.

(58,785 posts)a rally crowd that he was having required coverage for preexisting conditions declared unconstitutional, as if they should be glad. The crowd obligingly cheered as expected of them, though somewhat muted.
He'd entered office promising to repeal the ACA and replace it with a program with much better coverages and much cheaper. But we know he likes to hurt people he has power over, because he can. And he can. I'm assuming, because he's viciously resentful and punitive, that he's also punishing them and everyone else often when he's angry with "his people" not being as loyal and fearful as he demands.
All that's on top of screwing them over because his interests are very different from theirs.

(13,877 posts)He has all of the personal and political qualities for that role. He is widely respected, has experience in many governmental roles, he holds the demeanor of a leader, speaks wisdom, he does not trash talk anyone, he's made clear he wants to work with all groups, and he's about the right age...whatever that is. JMO.
