Dems - How has Trump ruined the United States
El O El
2 pages and we got one vote for Gorsuch ruining the Country, and “tweets”.
Yet we have entire tv channels dedicated to nothing less than accomplishing a media driven coup.
Cuz, tweets.
Perfect illustration how completely unhinged the leftists further became on dawn of Nov 9.
Nearly a year of holding their breath and banging the fists and feet on the floor.
Put simply- a tantrum.
Too funny.

No wait....you are being serious here?
You are seriously out of touch with reality.
Quote:"They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Nah, not insulting.
Quote:"we can't have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."
Nah, not bullying.
Quote:"The country has to do some soul searching about this," Obama said, adding that Americans "should be ashamed" of the situation. The failure of the country to insist on stronger measures to reduce gun violence has been "my biggest frustration so far," Obama said.
Quote:"The only holdout standing in he way of change for tens of millions of Americans are some Republicans in congress," Obama told an enthusiastic Minneapolis crowd. "I just want to be real blunt. If you watch the news, you just see, OK, Washington is a mess. And the basic attitude is everybody is just crazy up there. But if you actually read the fine print, it turns out the things you actually care about are the things Democrats are promoting. And we're just not getting enough help!"
Quote:"They don't do anything! Except block me! And, and, and call me names. And it can't be that much fun. It'd be so much more fun if they said 'you know what, let's do something together'. If they were more interested in growing the economy for you, and the issues that you're talking about, instead of trying to mess with me, then we'd be doing a lot better."
Nah, not crying like a little baby when he didn't get his way.

I would agree with that, although "improved" wouldn't mean good in my book. I'm very unhappy with his selection of Betsy DeVos for Secretary of Education as well. "Drain the swamp" is laughable.
Overall his devisive and childish antics are the last thing this country needs in a president, and it's my belief that he's causing a lot of harm because of it. Anyone who called Obama devisive should be cringing at all kinds of things that come out of Trump's mouth (and Twitter feed).
I understand your reaction to Trump's tweeting and statements.
What you probably never condidered is how many of Obama's statements made us Trump supporters feel like you do now.
Obama never insults people, bully others, nor acts like a little cry baby who never gets his way like Trump.
I disagree with the last part of your statement. I believe after the Dems lost power in Congress and nobody wanted to work with him because he wouldn't negotiate, his quote was something like I have a pen and phone meaning he would use executive orders to get his way.
Obama was the ultimate trash talker, always insulting the motives of his opponents. His comments weren't as personal as Trump's, but every bit as insulting and really more broadly insulting than Trump's. He consistently insulted anybody who didn't agree with him. He wasn't called the "Divider-in-Chief" for nothing.

I wish he tweeted a whole lot less....the environmental stuff??....I'll wait and see what happens. At this point, I don't see any huge detriment.

RE: Dems - How has Trump ruined the United States
Kap,
Imagine for a second the outrage if Trump said:
"‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us"
American citizens became Obama's enemies. That pretty much tells you everything that you need to know.

RE: Dems - How has Trump ruined the United States
Quick recap after almost 24 hours on the board -
Trump has destroyed the US by:
- Not doing anything
- using executive orders
- lack of class on twitter and speeches
- Climate change (Paris Accord)
- Free Trade (NAFTA)
Gimme some more. There has to be more than this.

Obama scolded and lectured all of us dummies 24/7/365.

Well vent. But David St. was spewing ridiculous stuff, not about Trump, but about Obama. That nonsense couldn't go unchallenged.

Dems - How has Trump ruined the United States
We should just merge this and the “corroboration of the stupid, fake dossier” thread.
They each have about the same number of responses, 3(?), and same number of those being legit-
Maybe 1- “tweets”.
He’s ruined the Country cuz tweets. It can be corroborated that tweets are a thing.

I don't think he's ruined the country, I just think he's been a genuinely bad president.

And there's the proof.
You think Obama wasn't offensive to us like Trump is to you.
You are honestly mistaken. He was.

The items above aren't "ruining" the US, they're just completely inappropriate (twitter/speeches), or bad moves.
I think his playing upon fears to further divide the country are, however.
You can say Obama was devisive like Bush 43 was I suppose, but this is on a completely different level. I wish all Trump talked about was just having a pen.
If the US was getting ruined before Trump, he is putting it on the express lane.

How in the world is that even possible? You can disagree 100% with what someone says without considering the person to be offensive.
I get hating every word that came out of Obama's mouth, but Obama at least had a modicum of maturity and forethought about him.

Why do you think that though? How can you come on here and make such a blanket statement without providing a basis for that statement? Don't you agree that it's intellectually lazy?

Bush 43 was divisive only because 1) Democrats never accepted losing (sound familiar) and 2) policies. He was enormously popular right after 911. Obama was divisive because he was a rude, arrogant, condescending jerk who never tried to be president of all the people. He came in with a great deal of goodwill and quickly destroyed it.

No if to it. And in case you aren't paying attention we are far more solid ground now than at any time during Obama's tenure.
