  i know that some here detested him while others may have simply accepted the reality of who is president.. do you think he is better than you might have thought as a president?.

  How about ALL the times Trump derided Obama for EVER going golfing, and how he promised he would never?

  I think that would be Trump acting foolish, no doubt about it. I agree. Bad form, trump being obnoxious trump.

  Doesn't make a fake number real though. I have no problem criticizing Trump's faults, I just want to base them all on their individual merits like I would with any president.

  Politifact link you provided, case and point

  Here’s the important point to keep in mind: There are no definitive reports on the cost of Trump’s travel, nor of any other president. The most comprehensive analyses exist on Trump and Obama’s presidencies, and have been carried out by watchdog groups..."No president in history has imposed larger personal lifestyle costs on the taxpayer than Donald Trump." It’s too early to call Trump’s personal travel itinerary the costliest in presidential history, as he’s only a few months into the job. It’s also a bold claim to make in the absence of definitive data on the costs of presidential travel, which is generally not disclosed.

  Also the Trump Golf Count thing you shared is a little more than half the number you stated... again, its Ironic you cited fake news, followed up by a fake statistic.
  

  I wont disagree its a lot and probably a waste of money, but this is a president thing, not a Trump thing it seems, just trying to keep everything factual

  Since you mentioned "fake news" and this very specific $91,655,424 number, please provide a source

  I am unfamiliar with it. I am sure he spends a lot, as did Obama, and probably the biggest price tag simply comes from security costs with anywhere POTUS goes.

  But please, source?

  It would be extremely embarrassing for you and very ironic if this number came from internet speculation without valid citation to back it up, also known as...

  FAKE NEWS

  Trump took what existed and fed it and nurtured it and called it good.

  I don't think anyone could ever prove such a thing, there were several things pushed by the fringe left that I would say cause this. There are racists out there, the racism of the alt-right, white nationalist whatever you want to call it is "IDENTITY POLITICS". Its bad and its stupid. Its been relatively quiet for some time. Now over the last few years, you have this massive push from the left of what? "IDENTITY POLITICS" and this movement is getting extreme airplay from politicians, celebrities, and the mainstream media. They have sold their soul to go all in on this other side of the coin of "IDENTITY POLITICS" It is a natural progression that this irrational movement on the left, is giving rise to this alt-right, its a fight between idiots, but the left can't seem to call out that on their side.

  This new movement has taken several unfactual, IDENTITY-based stands that are causing division. For example, black lives matter, something Obama played up not down, that is emotive, and not based on fact or reality. The lefts broadcasting of emotional, nebulous, protests and bitching is dividing the country, there are racists out there, of course, but this regressive movement has been calling them out from the shadows to fight for several months now.

  You can't pick and choose what identity politics is best because they are both WRONG! Trump can act like a petulant child, but the whole left political/msm/celebrity spectrum has more than dipped down to that level, in fact lower in some cases.

  Does anyone understand that? Put a vagina hat on and write obscenities on cardboard and claim the president is a mental case, I find it all very ironic.

  What Trump may have capitalized on, and what Hillary did not, in fact, she shit on, was middle America ie; not LA and not NYC. Making comments like "deplorable" pushed people into Trump corners. Attacking white America's immutable characteristic of the pigment in their skin, believe it or not, pisses people off. They have put regular white people at the top of an imaginary oppression hierarchy that makes no logical sense, and people need to stop feeding into that nonsense before they complain about the backlash from it!

  What will happen if Trump is elected?

  rabid anti-trump complainers during 2016 election: "It will definitely bring about the end of days, Muslims will be rounded up into detention camps and put in gas chambers, the world will explode in an orgy and nuclear destruction and the economies will fall, fire and brimstone will fall from the sky!!!!"

  A year later, is Trump doing better or worse than you thought?

  rabid anti-trump complainers 2018: "worse! Oh god much worse than I ever could have imagined!"

  lmfao!

  Pathetic

  I agree there are some things Trump gets an F on, on his report card, but not everything, be realistic otherwise it makes your position looney.

  The biggest issue right now is the media - they are there to influence and to bias the electorate, not to educate or hold politicians to account consistently. Now social media companies who could have provided free-flow of information are shown up to be just as biased and just as likely to cause damage.

  This to me is one of the most frightening trends in the political landscape right now, with terrible implications. Mainstream media is a joke, but now the powers that be behind google and youtube are taking a frightening slant on censorship. I don't believe they are SUPPOSED to be a place for free speech, they have that choice, but they present themselves that way and that is a problem. Demonetizing anyone who speaks outside of their narrative, and not even on anything that radical. Dave Rubin had a video demonetized that was simply his opinion on why socialism is not cool. If you are really paying attention right now to what is going on with idea and discussion censorship in this country, I will tell you it's not Trump, it's not the GOP, it's not conservatives of any kind that are pushing us towards 1984.

  Trump has the charisma of a jackhammer. I think the cult leader idea is hysterical.

  jp I bet if you google "how Obama was like a cult leader", you will probably also find articles and books. There is no doubt about Trump shortcomings, but the idea that all the people who voted for him or even defend him in any way are brainwashed deplorables is nonsense.

  If anything, despite being very wealthy, Trumps "human" tendencies probably make people feel more like he is average like them. Calling countries shitholes, not being polished. If I had to make a case for a cultish prez honestly I would say somehow Obama did it, Trump appeals to being "one of us" if you will.

  I really don't believe the majority of even his supporters see him as "charismatic" they see him as a hard-headed blunt tool.

  Sign I: His campaign is fueled by charisma.
  Sign II: He’s a raging narcissist.
  Sign III: What he says is always right. Even when it's not.

  Excellent, no other president has had the same signs lmao. I think you just described the person that always wins hahahahahah the basic three tenants of being a successful politician, be charismatic, love yourself too much and lie lie lie

  Still doesn't prove how anyone who calls out people who complain about literally everything about him are cult members, if he does something dumb, you say "thats dumb", if he does something worthwhile, you say "thats worthwhile", it's not complicated.

  trump is great at blurting out complete nonsense at almost opportune time that is so outlandish you wonder why he would say something so absurd, then you watch the mainstream media chase after it like a dog chasing the same stick over and over, and the news media is clogged for 24hours. "i had the most watched this or that EVER" oh my god, he's a madman lol. Trust me I don't like it either, but you all just keep feeding the troll, he's gonna keep trolling...
