Here's a few exact quotes from President Trump, not distorted by MSM, or anyone else. Just pure Trump
Campaign finance: "I think nobody knows more about campaign finance than I do, because I'm the biggest contributor." (1999.)
TV ratings: "I know more about people who get ratings than anyone." (October 2012.)
ISIS: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do." (November 2015.)
Social media: "I understand social media. I understand the power of Twitter. I understand the power of Facebook maybe better than almost anybody, based on my results, right?" (November 2015.)
Courts: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth." (November 2015.)
Lawsuits: "[W]ho knows more about lawsuits than I do? I'm the king." (January 2016.)
Politicians: "I understand politicians better than anybody." The visa system: "[N]obody knows the system better than me. I know the H1B. I know the H2B. ... Nobody else on this dais knows how to change it like I do, believe me." (March 2016.)
Trade: "Nobody knows more about trade than me." (March 2016.)
The U.S. government system: "[N]obody knows the system better than I do." (April 2016.)
Renewable energy: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth." (April 2016.)
Taxes: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world." (May 2016.)
Debt: "I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me." (June 2016.)
Money: "I understand money better than anybody." (June 2016.)
Infrastructure: "[L]ook, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump." (July 2016.)
Sen. Cory Booker: "I know more about Cory than he knows about himself." (July 2016.)
Borders: Trump said in 2016 that Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he was endorsing him for president because "you know more about this stuff than anybody." Democrats: "I think I know more about the other side than almost anybody." (November 2016.)
Construction: "[N]obody knows more about construction than I do." (May 2018.)
The economy: "I think I know about it better than [the Federal Reserve]." (October 2018.)
Technology: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me." (December 2018.)
Drones: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have." (January 2019.)
Drone technology: "Having a drone fly overhead — and I think nobody knows much more about technology, this type of technology certainly, than I do." (January 2019.)
Certainly not everything he has done has been bad. There are a few things I think he may have gotten right, however, as a person, I have not respect for him.
And I certainly agree with previous comments that sort of lend themselves to the idea that if he wasn't the president, most folks wouldn't want to be around him. Yes, there are exceptions because he is rich, but there is a long long line of folks that have spoken up about his character and that concerns me.
Perhaps it is worth considering :
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.
I think this fits DJT pretty damn good !

You are certainly welcome to your own opinion. As I've stated many times, I don't care for DJT personally but, I think he's done a commendable job especially when one considers all the crap the Dems have done to get him out of the Oval Office. YMMV. Seriously, I just hope President Trump is able to fill at least one more SCOTUS position before he leaves office, when ever that is. Just thought I should go ahead and post before this thread gets locked.  Rams

I would never ague against that point. I think the 'Dems' are as guilty as the 'Republicans' slinging dirt at Obama.
And as I've said, I do realize trump has done a few good things.
And despite Willow setting this up outside the thread it was listed in, I am not the only one that wishes he wouldn't make these ridiculous statements.
We, as a country, would be far better off if he hung up his Twitter account, stopped insulting the long list of people he once praised, later fired, and called then a bunch of names.
I wish he would focus on the business of the presidency and leave all that other crap alone.

I would like to point out that Republicans never tried to impeach President Obama and several other things the Dems have tried to do to President Trump. Would I like to see less Twitter from President Trump? An emphatic yes. We agree but with the biased press/media, I understand why he does it. That is not to suggest I like it. As I said before, putting Conservatives in the judicial system is my highest goal at this point and he's done an excellent job of that. I look forward to seeing President Trump replacing Justice Ginsburg. Rams Rams

Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Bidens, Adam Schiff, Deblasio, the mayor of Seattle so many more implement things without consideration of anyone. They think they are god have an idea and do them without considering anyone. You might say a dictator like mentality.
They may not say it but they could give a dam about laws, money, people, or any other restraint that would stop a normal thinking person. In essence saying I am better than anyone and know more so Im going to shape things how I want.
Trump has understood situations like North Korea and Iran and defused every one of them, when every other leader was selling us out. He has saved trillions in renegotiating all deals including like the Paris Accord.
He has kept his businesses going and his family together in the face of relentless persecution.
He is going after child pornography and the slave trade along with corruption in government.
Anyone that can take an assortment or base of information put it all together and come up with a solution to save the economy is a genius in my books. Sometimes its not specific knowledge in one area but a knowledge of all areas and being able to put it all together and use it to make a solution work.
I run a business and I have to find solutions, I pick from people who have knowledge in specific areas and use it in my business to keep it running smoothly. That requires understanding many fields and areas in life and applying that knowledge given to me and make things work. Sometimes using the information provided to me in a more integrated and complete way that the purveyor of the information may never have thought of. I am on a small scale and cannot imagine the energy, ideas, understanding, managing, things to make a business that size with that many facets to work.
So an army general may have knowledge in one area but he certainly may not be able to run the country, or design economic programs to keep people working, but Trump did.
I think Trump put his performance where his boasting is and has come out on top of many situations that would have sunk so many others already. So if he wants to boast or take a victory lap so be it.
I write this knowing you know the things he does for this country and are not against him. I only write this because of the tremendous task he has taken on and won in almost every situation. That to me is beyond amazing and a gift that most don't have. In fact I would have to say I have never seen a gift like this in operation that benefited so many people and put out so many fires. He has taken apathy for the election process and a population that was asleep to the corruption and special deals that previous admins have done and woken them up and gave them the information and mobilized them to stand up and face the liberal left.
Instead of demoralizing people he has supported them and told them they have rights and not to let those go.

Someone beat me to it but...... Just for the record, fall of 2012. Obama was caught on an open mic at a meeting in South Korea speaking with then-President Dmitry Medvedev, who was a placeholder for then-Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, who would later return to the Russian presidency. Obama promised Putin — via Medvedev — that if Russia would keep things calm during the 2012 U.S. presidential election, Obama would have more flexibility to make further concessions on missile defense in his second term: President Obama: On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved but it’s important for him to give me space.
President Medvedev: Yeah, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you…
President Obama: This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility.
President Medvedev: I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir.Even the untrustworthy "SNOPES" agrees this happened https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/obama-more-flexibility-russia/

Rams, perhaps they didn't try, but by some accounts they actually did, They just couldn't get the support they needed to make it happen. There was overwhelming support of 65% of Americans polled did not agree that Obama had done anything that he should be impeached for. There were alot of calls from Republicans for the impeachment, They just didn't have the support. Research on that topic gives many examples with dates, places and names along with direct quotes by numerous republicans calling for his impeachment.
I did a little research and found this :
Republicans made aggressive use of their investigative powers when they controlled one chamber or the other during the Obama years. Moreover, matters involving Hillary Clinton, her use of email as secretary of state, her conduct of foreign policy and the Clinton Foundation were very much part of their scrutiny. And they weren’t notably polite about it.
Over the course of a few months in 2016, House Republicans controlling the oversight committee unleashed a barrage of subpoenas in what minority Democrats called a “desperate onslaught of frivolous attacks” and “everything in their arsenal against Secretary Clinton.” In addition, Clinton was investigated by the FBI.
Earlier, a half dozen GOP-led House committees conducted protracted investigations of the 2012 attacks on U.S. diplomats in Benghazi, Libya. Republican-led investigations of the 2009-2011 Operation Fast and Furious episode – a botched initiative against drug cartels that ended up putting guns in the hands of murderers – lasted into the Trump administration.
Obama was dogged by investigations into the Internal Revenue Service’s treatment of conservatives and his administration’s loan guarantee to the failed solar-panel startup, Solyndra. And much more.
ANd there's that infamous quote from Mike Pence back then "We’re going to kick the hell out of him (Obama) all the time! We’re going to go through him like crap through a goose!”
I'm not supporting obama here, I'm simply trying to point out the conduct of the republicans, as well as recognizing and agreeing with you that the Dems did plenty emphasize and attack any shortcoming of trump.
I think there is just as much shenanigans coming out of both parties. The Dems have done plenty that I don't approve of, as have the Republicans.
I had high hopes for trump and his pledge to drain the swamp. Too bad that hasn't happened.
As I have said before, Term Limits, Term Limits, Term Limits. These folks have too much power and money and I believe they have lost touch. It shouldn't be about politics, it should always be about America and our people. I'm talking both sides !

Being truthful, I lost interest in this thread the second you brought HRC into it. She is the most despicable life form I have ever seen. IMHO, she is the reason we have President Trump in the first place. HRC represents pure evil in my mind. IMHO, anyone that thinks HRC shouldn't be in jail has obviously drank too much of the Kool Aide. Yeah, I'm one of those "Deplorables" she wanted to gut. President Obama was "dogged" with investigation into the IRS because they were unjustly targeting Conservatives. As has been proven many times through multiple threads, no one is going to change their opinion of any politician. Although, I will probably continue to read what is posted, honestly it's a waste of time and effort. Rams

And to add one more of Donald's accomplishment's, he was caught saying any military vets that were killed, or wounded are a bunch of loser's and sucker's. What a great guy! That's the guy I want to lead this country. He is doing Putin's work for him. Keep on loving him. John
Look at just who said, actually, wrote that. A loser rag that reported using unauthorized and unconfirmed sources. That 'story' was completely debunked within the hour. Ya gotta do better than that.

*** Yawn..... Some of Y'all really need to get yourself a hobby rather than trying to convince someone you will never convince that your view is the correct one. Has even ONE person changed their political affiliation based on all the rhetoric here? The ones that crack me up are the ones that state their views as a proclamation that deserves serious consideration. Go for a bike ride!

If you bothered to check into this claim, you might learn something. Fox New's even confirmed. I just posted it, I didn't call our troops loser's he did. And as far as I know, I'm still a member here, and if Willow deams my presence here is a problem, I guess he can kick me off the club. I am 75 years old also, and wish we all did not have to go through this crap. I have to say I sure do see a lot of hate here. I'm not a Republican, nor am I a Democrat,( Independent). But I don't hate all Republicans, But it sure seems like you guy's hate all Democrats. John

Of course I checked, with Fox. Fox was the first I heard debunk it this am. Then John Bolton said it was false. I don't really care what political affiliation you are. I only care that what is posted is true. Just to make sure, we are talking about the Atlantic article.

Here's a few exact quotes from President Trump, not distorted by MSM, or anyone else. Just pure Trump
Campaign finance: "I think nobody knows more about campaign finance than I do, because I'm the biggest contributor." (1999.)
TV ratings: "I know more about people who get ratings than anyone." (October 2012.)
ISIS: "I know more about ISIS than the generals do." (November 2015.)
Social media: "I understand social media. I understand the power of Twitter. I understand the power of Facebook maybe better than almost anybody, based on my results, right?" (November 2015.)
Courts: "I know more about courts than any human being on Earth." (November 2015.)
Lawsuits: "[W]ho knows more about lawsuits than I do? I'm the king." (January 2016.)
Politicians: "I understand politicians better than anybody." The visa system: "[N]obody knows the system better than me. I know the H1B. I know the H2B. ... Nobody else on this dais knows how to change it like I do, believe me." (March 2016.)
Trade: "Nobody knows more about trade than me." (March 2016.)
The U.S. government system: "[N]obody knows the system better than I do." (April 2016.)
Renewable energy: "I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth." (April 2016.)
Taxes: "I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world." (May 2016.)
Debt: "I’m the king of debt. I’m great with debt. Nobody knows debt better than me." (June 2016.)
Money: "I understand money better than anybody." (June 2016.)
Infrastructure: "[L]ook, as a builder, nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump." (July 2016.)
Sen. Cory Booker: "I know more about Cory than he knows about himself." (July 2016.)
Borders: Trump said in 2016 that Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he was endorsing him for president because "you know more about this stuff than anybody." Democrats: "I think I know more about the other side than almost anybody." (November 2016.)
Construction: "[N]obody knows more about construction than I do." (May 2018.)
The economy: "I think I know about it better than [the Federal Reserve]." (October 2018.)
Technology: "Technology — nobody knows more about technology than me." (December 2018.)
Drones: "I know more about drones than anybody. I know about every form of safety that you can have." (January 2019.)
Drone technology: "Having a drone fly overhead — and I think nobody knows much more about technology, this type of technology certainly, than I do." (January 2019.)
Certainly not everything he has done has been bad. There are a few things I think he may have gotten right, however, as a person, I have not respect for him.
And I certainly agree with previous comments that sort of lend themselves to the idea that if he wasn't the president, most folks wouldn't want to be around him. Yes, there are exceptions because he is rich, but there is a long long line of folks that have spoken up about his character and that concerns me.
Perhaps it is worth considering :
Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them.
I think this fits DJT pretty damn good !

Former White House national security adviser John Bolton said in comments published Friday that he never heard President Trump refer to slain American soldiers buried at a French cemetery as “losers” and “suckers,” after the allegations were made in a bombshell report published Thursday.
“I didn’t hear that,” Bolton told The New York Times. “I’m not saying he didn’t say them later in the day or another time, but I was there for that discussion.”
Jeffrey Goldberg was born to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Ellen and Daniel Goldberg, whom he describes as "very left-wing.
He has been described by critics as a neoconservative, a liberal, a Zionist and a critic of Israel. The New York Times reported that he "shaped" the magazine's endorsement of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 United States presidential election, only the third endorsement in the magazine's 160-year history.
It’s irresponsible to make these weighty accusations of the leader of the free world without presenting the public with a shred of hard evidence. Goldberg should have known better.
Jeffrey Goldberg Says Sources for Trump Military Remarks Refused to Go On Record to Avoid ‘Being Inundated with Angry Tweets’
But multiple current and former Trump administration officials have come forward to say the story is inaccurate, and internal Navy documents that were obtained by other journalists via public-records request state that Trump’s visit to the cemetery was canceled due to inclement weather.

Jeffrey Goldberg is a well respected journalist. He has 4 different well placed sources, who wish to remain anonymous. Do I wish all 4 would come out and put their names to the story ? You bet. But the stories have been backed up by bunches of other reporters too. What I find interesting is that NONE of the military men who have been in the Trump administration have come out and refuted any of the stories. (At least to my knowledge)

This is how the Establishment Media and the Democrat Party operate: a "reporter" writes up an anonymously sourced hit job on President Trump. Then, the Biden team rushes to weaponize the "report" in the hopes of whittling away at military support for President Trump.

Then, the Biden team rushes to weaponize the "report" in the hopes of whittling away at military support for President Trump. Nancy Pelosi explains how to use the Media to Smear political opponents https://youtu.be/vK5DCQhXKlYBUT WAIT A MINUTE, Didnt we just have a multi million dollar, months long investigation that put the nation into a spin called Russia Gate? Didnt we have so many liars on FISA, all the three letter agencies, Comey, Steele, Page,Strok, Wray, Nellie and Bruce Ohr and a whole host of others swear that the information was true? In reality it was a attempt to take over the office of president and take over the US. But, but, but these people are judges, agents,congress, lawyers they wouldn't lie would they? Only to find out after people came forward and Mueller had NOTHING that it was all a hoax and a treasonous plan and in fact those people are going to get prosecuted. The FISA program is going to get revamped and Pelosi, Shiff pushed the narrative to impeach the president? Get this, paid for by Hillary Clinton, and John McCain described how he received the Steele dossier that contains the most falsely salacious allegations about Trump and Russia. OK and isnt this the same Mc Cain that Trump supposedly in the same article said something about. The same Mc Cain that vigorously denied any involvement in the Russia treason. So now this editor of the Atlantic writes an unsubstantiated article by his own admittance and no one has come forward, yet there are many witnesses that came forward in favor of Trump, including Bolton who supposedly was there, but we are just supposed to take it at face value that this is all the truth, YEA RIGHT. How many times are you guys going to try and cry wolf? When are you going to call for the prosecution of these people proven liars and traitors? Until you do that I don't see how you have a credible leg to stand on. Give it a f en break.

His choice his reasons, unless suddenly you decide what the president does and does not do. I tell you one thing he has NEVER DONE He has never apologized for this country to anyone or held himself lower than any leader, unlike others. But I didn't hear anything on this from you either, I cannot imagine why though. One thing this president did do though HE got up in front of the UN and said the US is not for sale, that it will not be the bank account for other nations any longer. He also told other leaders that national pride is a good thing and the people benefit when they have pride also. That alone gave me such great joy and pride that if he did nothing else that would have been enough. https://youtu.be/HMhrs3RK1DgTrump tells UN General Assembly U.S. rejects 'global governance' https://youtu.be/zDbK0IpNTmM

Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the majority owner of The Atlantic, has donated over $1.2 million to former Vice President Joe Biden and other Democratic candidates and groups since 2019, Federal Election Commission records show. Powell Jobs owns a 70% stake in The Atlantic, and she reportedly communicates often with its editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Goldberg published an anonymously-sourced story Thursday alleging that President Donald Trump had denigrated fallen American soldiers. Billionaire philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, obtained a 70% stake in The Atlantic in 2017 through her firm, the Emerson Collective. In November, she further solidified her control over the magazine after its longtime chairman, David Bradley, said he was going to step away from management, according to Politico. Politico noted in its report that Powell Jobs communicates often with The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg. Powell Jobs contributed $2,800 to former Vice President Joe Biden’s primary campaign in October, and in June she divvied out an additional $610,600 to the Biden Victory Fund. She’s also provided maxed out donations to at least 66 other Democratic politicians since the start of 2019, all the while providing nothing to Republican candidates, according to Federal Election Commission records. https://dailycaller.com/2020/09/04/laurene-powell-jobs-jeffrey-goldberg-democrats/
