Right - things that were not tweets:
* Mocking the parents of a man killed in action serving his country in the military.
* The "grab em by the pussy" tape.
* Racist comments about Mexicans.
* Mocking a disabled reporter
* 'Both sides' about actual nazis.
* Having no knowledge of policy
* Constant lying
We don't need twitter to tell us that he's unfit, unhinged and incapable of doing the job.
- dreta 9y agoSo far he didn't cause something worse than, or similar to, what's going on in Libya and Syria, or introduce policies like the Affordable Care Act, and the economy's alright. He's doing better than the previous cabinet; whether you like him as a person or not.

- dreta 9y agoA link to an ad for, as far as you or me can tell, a fantasy book doesn't constitute an argument.
- craftyguy 9y agoOk, I'll bite. > So far he didn't cause something worse than, or similar to, what's going on in Libya and Syria So you're saying that because the US is not physically on fire with untold civilian deaths due to violent uprisings and political unrest, everything must be "alright?" > or introduce policies like the Affordable Care Act Shame on those who would like all citizens of their country to have the same access to healthcare that wealthier citizens have! > He's doing better than the previous cabinet Care to elaborate? He's avoided doing anything about any of the actual real issues affecting this country and the world (e.g. climate change, opiod crisis, resurging racism/white supremacy, sexual assault, and the list goes on). In fact he's made a lot of those worse since taking office. Meanwhile, he would rather focus on other "important" issues like contradicting himself, engaging in shouting matches with DPRK, tax reform that benefits his family and friends with deep pockets, spending an unspecified amount of tax payer money on a useless border wall, talking about (but not actually doing anything to) improve infrastructure, and trying to deny healthcare to folks that do not have it.

I suspect he's referring to the USA's usual military aggression towards other countries. Unlike just about every president before him, Trump (for all his many many many faults) hasn't attacked another country (yet). I'd wager that, so far, Iraqis and Afghanis think Trump is better than Bush II!
- craftyguy 9y agoThat's actually an interesting point I hadn't considered, but it ignores the fact that donald is stepping up deployments in Afghanistan. <speculation> There's also the business of his 'foreign policy', which will likely engage us in a war with DPRK or someone else. In other words, the track record is OK thus far (1/4th of his term), but the potential points towards yet another bullshit war to "save" his ego. </speculation>
- davidw 9y agoDon't forget Trump made noises about invading Venezuela of all places, which only helped Maduro. Captain Bone Spurs just hasn't found the right opportunity to send other people's kids to get shot up.
- nailer 9y agoWhat were the racist comments about Mexicans? I know he made some comments about illegal immigrants, but most Mexicans in America are not illegal immigrants.
