This man clearly lives in an alternative universe. I only wish it didn't intersect with the one I occupy since I'm kinda fond of mine and I'd really appreciate if he'd stop trying to destroy it.

Lame ass headline from TIME. It kills the peace process, which--granted--was mostly dead already.

Anyone dealing with that region needs to proceed very carefully - and with international support. My suggestion? Seek the advice of Presidents Carter and Clinton.

He thinks he is the GENIUS we have all been waiting for, the man with the INCREDIBLE human brain that forgets nothing, unless its the FBI asking, than suddenly its foggy and He can't remember.

This man is an incredible Arrogant Ass and it should be his nomenclature from now on.

He thinks "only he can fix it." Both Carter and Clinton made Middle East peace a signature issue - Carter knew the backgrounds and sensibilities of all the players and Clinton knew the exact makeups of neighborhoods in Jerusalem. Trump has the advice of his son-in-law and his real estate lawyer.

He can make anything in his own image and run with that...and everyone will cheer and love him -- pardon me while we all just puke at the idea of him being lovable.

Every single day there's a new ridiculous - or dangerous - outrage. Remember when Obama wore that tan suit??

Seeing all the Democratic presidential hopefuls lined up on that stage - and wondering who would want the job after eight years of Bush*. Trump has managed to do irreparable damage all over the world in a matter of months.

At least he listened to his advisors. Trump is so arrogant he thinks his he is the cure for the world.

Before the election, I walked outside with some colleagues and that's what I said when Trump's name came up - and nobody disagreed.
