So Trump complained about how many holidays Obama had and how many times Obama played golf.. but it's ok for him to swan off and do same?

COsting the country millions every time he swans off to FLorida, not to mention loss of business to others with his no fly zone over his resort.. and he goes there to play...... golf.. but somehow it's ok when he does it?  Double standards or did he genuinely forget that he's doing the same?

    You know it.  And we get to pay for every temper tantrum he throws too.

  • Sadly true.. the man is totally self-centred.. they were saying in the news today that this latest tantrum against Obama has undone the tiny bit of respect people gave him for his more *reasonable* address the other day. The man's either very stupid, (I think he is!) or self-destructive.  Or both!

    I hate falling into that trap of playing sideline psychiatrist, but he certainly is my image of a narcissist.

  • "It only matters when the other side does it" ---> a summary of politics in general.

  • Not my politics :P  He engages in behaviour that shows he has NO professonalism, no control and no class.. it's deplorable, the exact opposite of how a prez is meant to behave.

    He was...and is.  I was no big fan, he did much I disagreed with.  But the didn't prevent me from having a measure of respect for both he and his administration.  I lived through both McCarthy and Nixon.....I respect Nixon's efforts with China. There has never been a thing I could respect about 45. My intense dislike and distrust of this man goes back to the late 70's.

  • LOL ok well I bow to your greater experience with prez's - but I can honestly say, hand on heart, that I personally have less than ZERO respect for Trump and his administration, bunch of amateurs and loonies and I personally have never, but never, seen anything as truly cringe-worthy vile as Trump's behaviour and almost everything he says..

    An American friend tells me.. "we have done worse" than electing something so world-wide despised and disrespected as Trump... I am not sure that brings me any comfort :(

    Yes, yes, yes!

    I admit that I tend to vote Democrat most of the time too, but I sure can look back at a man like Bush and not feel anything negative like I do for the man that is in there now.

    At no time was Bush's intent toward the Republic questioned. And only Kanye believed he 'didn't like black people'. His worst sins were those of gullibility and ineptness.  There was never a taint of treason or sedition in him or any of his cabinet.

    Not even my kids pulled the "but everybody else can go" crap on me.

    What he does stands or falls on its own.

    (Unfortunately, that may also be true of the USA.)

    I have had the same emotion TJ.  Even my kids as toddlers didn't dare act like this around me.

    There is something to be said for being so convinced of the correctness (through study and research, etc. ) of a specific way of doing things; and then communicating your confidence that your way will produce a viable and frequently preferable outcome, to your children.

    And then give them permission to modify that way of doing things when they get older---that way they start with a position to modify rather than having to reinvent the wheel. This post was edited by tom jackson at March 5, 2017 12:44 PM MST

    I would say that it is as simple as seeing the difference between someone with smarts and confidence and someone that is exhibiting behaviors of a narcissist.  

    I believe Trump is the latter of the two.  I can't prove it, but I don't see any discipline in his demeanor or enough truth in his words to trust that he is a competent man.

    The man has always been able to structure his primary surroundings so that his way of doing things was not questioned.

    But more than 50% of the people who voted wanted someone else to be president.

    He may never be able to cope in such an environment.

    So he throws tantrums just like a preschooler.

    My bet is, if the DNC had offered a candidate that didn't have baggage like Hillary did, he would have lost in huge numbers.
