Morally reprehensible is not the same as legally responsible.

 

You certainly have high hopes, don’t you?

That was 3.0 we are now on 4.0

No, Trump's behavior is the problem. Normally if I was going to criticize someone with power in our government it would be over policy decisions. With Trump it's completely new, unprecedented, he doesn't behave like a democratic elected leader. He behaves like a dictator, he sees the check and balances we have as a roadblock he wants to plough straight through. He wants everyone to love him. It's why he embraces Kim and Putin because he sees himself like them as the leader of our country. He has no empathy, hes a narcissist, he does what is best for him, winning, not what is best for the country. His Authoritarian tendices cannot be allowed to go unchecked and I'm glad the media are giving him a tough time because this behavior he is displaying is unacceptable to the values of this country.

So in a nutshell, you hate him because he is winning. Got it.

No I hate him because his behavior is vile. Yes he is "winning" but the country is losing. He won the lottery in 2016 but he got his backside handed to him last week and now he's mad.

Think he won the Election.

 

Well obviously some are having issues with that, TDS is a terrible thing.

People are mainly having an issue with his behavior not that he won the election. I never disliked Bush this much, I disagreed with him on policy like McCain and Romney but he never exhibited Authoritarian behaviors. Trump is a danger to our democracy, but people excuse it by saying well the economy is great. Not good enough I'm afraid, people should know better and look to history as to why letting Trump off the hook is taking us down a dark and dangerous path other countries have taken before.

Fixxored the inaccuracy for you.  No charge.

 

Oh, and we are not a democracy.  

 

And which "dark and dangerous path other countries have taken before" are we headed down, exactly?  Are you referring once again to Kazakhstan??

Democracy (Greek: δημοκρατία dēmokratía, literally "rule by people"), in modern usage, has three senses—all for a system of government where the citizens exercise power by voting

You mean like Obama?  I guess that was missed, and quite honestly, I see Trump following the Constitution a lot closer than Obama did relative to pushing Congress to do their job.  Sure Trump issued some EOs to rescind some of the EOs that Obama issued which is quite normal for a new president, but I still don't see the dictator attitude.
