Trumps economy also began to falter, with the markets ping-ponging based on the presidents erratic behavior. His trade war with China grew more acrimonious. His whipsaw diplomacy at the Group of Seven summit left allies uncertain about American leadership. The president returned from his visit to France in a sour mood, frustrated by what he felt was unfairly negative news coverage of his trip.
The two months between Independence Day and Labor Day offered a fresh and vivid portrait of the president as seen by Trumps critics incompetent, indecisive, intolerant and ineffective.

(9,426 posts)the spotlight he craves so much. Familiarity breeds contempt. I, for one have nothing BUT contempt for this ignoramus trying to look presidential. This joke has gone on for too long, time to curb it.

happy labor day, scarsdale.

(6,916 posts)Trump became president because the Republican Party has been dog whistling racism for votes for decades. So the base thinks falsely that black people and immigrants are holding them down, but no politician had ever really done anything about this false problem.
Trump broke the longstanding agreement amongst Republicans about not being openly racist. And the base loved that because Republicans had prepared them to love it.
Then three years of Fox and Limbaugh brainwashing has made him the pope of hate for the base.

(36,231 posts)Real adults, with functioning brain cells, are sick of his constant cry for attention. It's embarrassing that 40% of our fellow citizens think this is acceptable behavior from POTUS, but they were outraged when Obama wore a tan suit. This is gonna leave a mark. I will never look at Trump supporters the same.

(779 posts)But I am sick and tired of hearing Trump whining, every day it's 'if only' someone else had done something things would be OK.
They would not, things will only start to get 'OK' when he is out of the picture.
He is so full of petty grievances and can not take responsibility for anything.

(5,265 posts)he could have saved everyone a lot of trouble by jumping from his penthouse when the Russian mobsters presented this plan for him to pay the interest on his debts.

(9,426 posts)he would do a better job than a black man, Harvard educated, highly intelligent, full of CLASS. tRump decided he would show President Obama what a REAL president does. Total failure, complete disaster. Now, surrounded by other incompetents, all he can do is blame others. Putin must be so proud. He is systematically destroying the USA with help from a buffoon, and a cluster of greedy, scared gop members. Not one single SPINE among the entire group, all toadies.
