(135,425 posts)Talking over if he should resign, and who he should pre-emptively pardon for crimes against the state before THEY get a 'target' letter.
The list is long, and growing longer....Kushner, Ivanka, Flynn, Manafort, etc., etc. and so forth.

(14,174 posts)I have a relative who has a similar mindset. She is a right winger. She will never say she is wrong politically about anything.
She is also a fundamentalist Christian. That cult fits nicely into her belief system like it does for many Republican voters. They place Trump in the category of God sending him, of God using 'imperfect' men to carry out His perfect will. And so Trump himself become enfolded into their beliefs. That is, its the same thing to ask them to admit they are wrong about God, that He's just a convenient crutch to explain everything, as it is to ask them to admit that Trump is bad and they were hood-winked into voting for him. One admission means their whole belief system comes crashing down. At least that is how they think others will interpret it, including the liberals just waiting with baited breath on the sidelines for them to do it and pounce with a "ah ha!". The confidence and arrogance that goes along with that in what they KNOW is correct protects their precious egos. So no way would they ever go that far.

(5,106 posts)I'm going to assume that you responded as you did to pretend you're just as thin skinned as Trump! LOL! Good one! Oh, but the jokes about Obama and Hillary are getting tiresome, so I sincerely apologize if you meant to be sarcastic and were pointing that out.
Purrfessor
(1,188 posts)Or Hillary. It was meant as an attack on Trump for his ridiculous exaggerations. No matter what Trump thinks of himself, Obama is infinitely better.

(36,829 posts)Trump not sure where he is?
The latest, Sunday morning, is raising questions across social media. In it, Trump declared that he had just arrived in Italy. Thirteen minutes later, a new Trump tweet appeared, declaring that the U.S. President had just returned from Europe and the Italy tweet was gone.

Some articles have said that Trump dictates his tweets and a staffer actually sends them.
Looks like Donald does some personally.
