    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.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    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.

    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.

    All the news trickling out about his last few months in office is really scary. And talk about coddling, just today I read that Pence had called Dan Quayle to ask about the possibility of decertifying the election prior to January 6. He was trying to keep trump from going off the rails.

    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.

    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.

    No other president [in the modern era] had more of the deck stacked against him than Trump. The media—dead against him. His own party establishment—against him. The intelligence community—against him. Schumer as much as predicted the IC was going to get him, and damn, did they ever try.

    But they never did. Embrace the suck, Trump haters.

    This is one of so many places, this claimed fact that Trump is fragile, where I am left wondering what is going on....Are they really that ignorant, or are they lying yet again?

    It is hard to know....so many Americans are supremely ignorant, but then too so many Americans lie constantly.

    Either way people suck now, our ancestors were generally of much better quality.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    What are you fucking even talking about?

    Obama handed Trump the second-longest period of economic expansion in our history, he handed him the longest positive job creation streak in our history, he handed him a stock market that grew 2.5x what Obama inherited, and Trump had Republican majorities in the House, Senate, State Legislatures, and Governorships. He was even handed an actual pandemic playbook that told him what he needed to do if a novel coronavirus ever came to the US.

    Trump squandered all of that because he couldn't keep his big, fat, lying mouth shut, and like you, he's a gigantic idiot and lazy as fuck.

    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.

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

    Trump never denied Woodward's books were truthful.

    Woodward is about as reliable as you will find and rest assured what's in the book reflects the truth. Of course a rightwinger or even Trump himself will deny half of it but
    all one has to do is listen to the man, he speaks on an 8th grade level at best.
