From Patti Davis, daughter of Ronald Reagan In six short months Donald Trump, the president who doesn’t know how to be one, has tipped America off its position as the most powerful country in the world and left us scrambling in the dust, trying to remember who we are and who we are supposed to be on the international stage. David Gergen pointed out how sad and sobering it was to see, at the G-20 summit, that America is no longer the major player. I would add that what is particularly sobering is how quickly power can be dismantled. Our democracy was supposed to be invincible — that’s what many of us had come to believe. But that isn’t true. One man, whose arrogance and ego lead him trippingly into chaos of his own making, can turn a shining city on the hill into a shadowy, tawdry replica of itself. Where once we had currency in the world, we are now left holding fool’s gold. I would just like to point out that I have never seen a group of people acquainted with so many Russians. I’ve met two Russian people in my entire life, and one of them was a refrigerator repair man. The fact that every other person the Trumps know is Russian should have tipped us off a year ago that something was amiss. But I digress. The almost Shakespearean irony of Donald Trump as president is that his worst fear — that of being ridiculed and disregarded — is precisely what he has created by his own actions. If he was quiet for five minutes he might hear the echo of Putin’s laughter carried on the wind across countries and oceans. But Trump’s ego is a loud, boisterous thing and will never allow him to hear anything that might cause him to reflect. I hate to end on a chilling note, but I’m going to. Our democracy, and the dignity of America, is wounded and bleeding out. It doesn’t mean that it can’t be restored and healed, but not by this administration. And it will only get worse if those intent on making excuses continue saying that Trump and his extended family are new at this governing thing, and are just bumbling a bit. They know exactly what they’re doing. And so does the rest of the world.

So...we should allow companies to only pay minimum wage? Without unions, we wouldn't have 40 hour weekdays, weekends off, overtime pay etc. Evil Unions. A working class person that is anti union = an idiot.
-
Republicans said the same thing about Obama care. Remember the death panels comments. The new plan is horrible.
-
Why do you bother? We both know that most Trump supporters are either racist or incredibly stupid.
-
Is that why Trump tweets at 3 am
-
I worked when I had "Obamacare". I am guessing that most of you guys are old and have a short memory or some of you are suffering from some form of dementia if you don't remember what I said about my reasons for shopping on the exchange. Don't try to change the narrative to fit your agenda. Some people.

How do you know this is true?
-
Yet, you guys were bragging that Trump showed the world he is not to be messed with when he bombed Syria and Afghanistan. The dictator of North Korea didn't get the memo. Trump is a joke.
-
Also, white people killing each other in school shootings and eating each other; as well as, gang activity, brings the life expectancy down significantly.

I have a friend who works in the business department. Her department collects payments.

What is Trump going to do?
-
I don't know with certainty, so that's why I didn't run for President. I think I would do what President Obama did with the sanctions. Maybe, he should add some more. You guys think that Obama is weak, because he didn't act right away in certain situations. I guess Trump is weak too.
-
I thought you guys said that Trump sent a message to the world ( that he won't take any mess).when he bombed Syria and Afghanistan. So much for that theory. They have probably tested more ( or close) in Trump's short tenure. I can think of 3 thus far.

[Hidden Content] How many times have they done this since Trump's last warning. They are not afraid of him. What is he going to do?
-
Yep. People who come from other countries to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center are loaded.
-
Lol.

I stay winning.

terrorism, terrorism,terrorist act. the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear. coup de main, surpriseattack. So......what you mentioned is not a terrorist attack. Nice try, though.

[Hidden Content] Oops!!!!

You dont think Trump is fat?

Reread the article. Trump cant take credit. It wasnt his idea. ATF specialist Celinez Nunez developed the concept, not Trump. Why is he taking credit, Trump that is?
-
They are not tweeting rsponses to everything negative that is said about them at 2am. Fox News host constantly talked bad about Obama. Did he text almost everyday admonishing them? Did he make a video of himself slamming Fox News? You guys are in denial. Trump is nuts.
-
It is not fake news. He is still taljing about it. His advisors are defending him. Some Congressmen are asking that he apologize

The article says Law enforcement leaders from city, state and federal levels presented the new strike force as a multifaceted, ongoing and collaborative effort — not the effort or idea of one person. When asked if Trump is “correct in taking credit for these initiatives,” Navarro said that conversations about the new strike force started under former President Barack Obama. “One thing I can say regarding that is these discussions with the superintendent have gone back to actually November, so we’ve had two administrations that the superintendent has been dealing with in terms of getting extra assistance from ATF,” he said. CPD credited ATF Special Agent in Charge Celinez Nunez with developing the concept of the strike force after Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson met with Justice Department officials in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.
