It is absolutely shameful that this comment was downvoted. Trump is a big boy, he can take it. I couldn't care less. What of the thousands whose lives are destroyed by shoddy journalism who aren't famous enough to even be recalled? I sincerely hope all of these yellow journalism outfits go out of business. It won't happen, but one can hope.

Trump is most definitely not a big boy, and has spent his last 40-50 years in the public eye showing again and again and again that he most definitely cannot take it. If ever anyone were the poster child for the correlation between narcissism and thin skin, it's him. You don't have to take my word for it, it's not like it hasn't been there on full display for all to see for decades. If you've read anything that presents him as any sort of strong, effective, decisive, or even coherent leader, then that's the yellow journalism you're so worried about, and you should be very very worried about it indeed.

  Trump had the entire establishment, left, right and center, against him, and came out a winner. He still has the entire establishment, left, right, and center, against him. And he's still there fighting. You can hate the guy--it is establishment policy to do so, after all--but he's a tough son-of-a-bitch. There's no way around that fact.

    I wouldn't classify someone who has had six bankruptcies as a "winner". One, maybe two I can understand. But six, that's just poor business management and a great example as to why we're heading into a Trump-powered recession. https://www.thoughtco.com/donald-trump-business-bankruptcies-4152019 https://www.thoughtco.com/donald-trump-business-bankruptcies...

      Well your classifiers aren't looking at the distribution then. 6 out of a few dozen isn't bad, that's where I'd like to be.

      He's currently president of the United States. Do people think this is somehow easy to accomplish now? Regardless of how you feel about him, attaining this office does mean a certain amount of competence.

        Do you have evidence of specific competence at something?

        Unfortunately the Russian interference in the US elections & 5 of the campaign officials convicted of various election-related crimes doesn't make it look like the President had a competent, ethical and legal campaign.

        He's a billionaire real estate magnate, who had a very successful television show, and became the President of the United States despite extreme opposition from both major parties and the media. It's obvious from your other comments that you viscerally hate this man, it might good for you to see things with a bit more objectivity.

        Until he releases his tax records, we do not know if he is a "billionaire". Hopefully, they'll be released soon.

    Trump is not tough at all. He has an extremely fragile ego. This is incredibly obvious to anyone who is paying even the tiniest bit of attention. The only reason he has lasted all this time is because he's wealthy, and that's mostly because he inherited a couple of hundred million dollars from his father.

    The man is definitely not in the running for a 'tough son-of-a-bitch.' He has previously circled photos of his hands and sent them to people to prove how big his hands are. He bragged about his penis size at a debate. Just recently it came out that he has people photoshopping his body to make him look better and his fingers to make them longer. He has thrown many a tantrum when faced with reality and has cabinet meetings where people go around the room and praise him. None of these screams thick skin or toughness. I'm curious what 'establishment' means to you and which part of the 'establishment' and the 'right' you think are still against him. He and the republicans have literally been in control of the entire federal government for 2 years up until a couple of weeks ago and it seems that the republicans are completely behind him.

    He was so tough that he dodged the Vietnam war because of bone spurs. He is weak sauce

      He's cowardly, but I think people mean tough in the sense that he does what he wants.
  - tomc1985 8y ago
    Tough in the sense that he wears the armor of the U.S. government to protect him. The man will fall very far once those protections run out.
