Substantively, the SCOTUS appointment and the market gains (questionable not because I doubt 71, but the effect of POTUS on the market itself) are the only thing I can see as well.

I'm guessing Frank wants to take another swing at this. I'm also guessing I'm not alone in saying that I think the twitter stuff Trump puts out is dumb - but mostly meaningless.

Steve Bannon recently told a reporter he estimates the chance of Trump lasting the four 4 year term at about 30%. Bannon never says or does anything that isn't self-serving, so it makes one wonder what he's planning on doing in the near future.

He tweets are helping to further racial and political divides in this country. Didn’t realize that was unimportant to so many of of you. It’s also great when he keeps talking about doing dictatorial things like stifling freedom of the press.
Keep rationalizing guys but he is steaming pile of shit as a president and as a person.

Originally posted by frank ryan View PostThe fact that you think it was a burn is pretty telling. You keep normalizing and excusing Trump’s antics, including the whole Charlottesville thing. Words matter especially when the president speaks or writes them.
I don't excuse his antics. I think he's an idiot. Like you - I didn't vote for him either and won't if he runs again.
But I think that your response was lazy and grabbed for the lowest hanging fruit regarding Trump's failures as POTUS. You are so sure that he's done everything wrong and nothing right that you didn't even give any kind of thoughtful response. You just said his embarrassing tweets.
Sure - one could argue that his tweets are more than just tweets. They represent what he's thinking and potentially are his means of talking about policy too. I get that. But you didn't say anything about actual policy. You mentioned his embarrassing tweets. Which could mean you don't disagree with his policy - you just don't like his way of conveying it.
Quite frankly, if you think that his embarrassing tweets alone outweigh the importance of the economy and a supreme court appointment - I just don't know what to say. You got burned.

The political divides and the slow march to an widely divisive political climate started well before Trump. I honestly don't think the political climate in the US would be much different if Hillary would have won. Trump's words/tweets are another symptom of the problem. They're not the cause of the problem though. The cause(s) predated Trump by many, many years

Originally posted by BYUMizzou View PostI don't think I ever claimed I was too liberal for CB. What I did say was:
For eight years we heard all kinds of hyperbole about how Obama was permanently damaging the country. While I think there was some truth to some of those claims, they were broadly overblown. In my opinion, you're seeing the same type of hyperbole and overreaction to Trump. Not that I like the guy. He's an idiot and a clown. But the lasting damage to the US isn't anything as significant or lasting as some would want you to believe.Originally posted by BYUMizzou View PostAs an added comment, I think the largest danger and damage being done in our country today is by the populace ourselves. The polarization and refusal to have a civil conversation with someone who has opposing viewpoints is much more likely to cause lasting damage to the country than anything some buffoon in the White House can or will do.
