    Default We have never had a more fragile President than Trump

    Just reading some of the accounts from Woodward's upcoming book. The way other Republican "leaders" (using that term loosely) felt like they had to coddle him, and phrase things in the softest terms so that he could handle what they were trying to say. They talked to him and treated him like he was a child, who could have a tantrum at any moment.

    And conservatives, please - you know this is true about the man. This is not "fake news." We've all seen it on display for years, and long before he became President.

    I find it mystifying how people talk about him like he's some tough guy or strong leader. He's hypersensitive and weak.

    Woodward has not been reliable in a lot of years. He says what he thinks power wants to hear. He is himself one of the most senior of the Failed Intelligentsia.

    And no.....Trump acts like he does because it works, not because he is flawed.
    The bottom line is that conservatives cant admit to themselves the Evil they have allowed to romp on their watch.

    This is going to hurt.

    Like I said, we've observed this ourselves. Have you not seen this aspect of Trump?

    Pretty much no one in America has powered through more shit than Trump has, and he keeps on chugging.

    You have failed to run a proper evaluation.

    You are just like Donald my dear, you have an excuse for everything and anything related to Trump. The first negative word from anyone and you attack. Obviously your opinions are worthless.

    He is weak & fragile. He can't handle the smallest criticism, or disagreement.

    This is not really disputable.

    I know that aspect of him that you're talking about, but that's more of a negative, imo. He just plows through without listening or caring. It's narcissism.

    Interesting how the alt-lefties still can't get Trump out of their heads and all the while endorse the man currently in the white house who clearly has oatmeal for brains.

    Donald has deserved everything, and more that has come his way. He is a cheat, a liar, and a fraud, and those are his best qualities.

    I'm not a Biden fan. But this "move on from Trump" thing is nonsensical.

    70% of Republican voters still identify Trump as the leader of the party. If you listen to GOP leaders, they still defer to Trump.

    He's one of the top 3 political figures in this country, and still wields enormous power. Yeah - we're going to talk about him on a political message board. We're going to start threads about him.

    Woodward right now is like "SHIT, I did not think I was throwing Milley under the bus when I claimed that he is a treasonous criminal, I though I was patting him on the back!".








    Fuck Me.

    Trump was the real Pied Piper!

    Trump was the real Emperor Without Any Clothes.

    Trump was the real Humpty Dumpty!

    Trump is everything you raised your children not to be.

    The heart of every authoritarian is cowardice. They cannot stand anyone who disagrees with them.

    trump is just too fragile to be in politics. he should leave it to the big boys, and continue his winey little attacks on them on the internet.

    Weird how a man you claim has oatmeal for brains can outsmart Republicans at every turn.

    Woodward is the American dean of political reporting. As usual, you attacked him instead of responding to what was said.
