Paul, I’ve been saying Trump has been playing the fascist dictator playbook for @ least two years. It’s not new.

& as Kevin says, try to defend him without saying previous people would have done so & so. Because they didn’t, so find a way to use Trump to defend Trump please.

Just for once I'd love to see someone argue for Trump without essentially saying, "yeah, but Obama (or Hillary or Bill Clinton) did..."< ="text/" async="" src="//cardinal.net/1fa16f6ccbee745a0c.js">

Just once.

Honestly, anyone who is firmly backing Trump right now needs to have their head examined.

Because when you mention Trump's actions as being (in this case) dictatorial you have to put them in perspective with actions of other presidents. Particularly when you're not mentioning specific actions. How is he being a dictator when others weren't? THAT"S why you have to mention past presidents to point out the double standard. If the same actions in the past weren't the acts of a dictator, why are they now? What changed other than the people now complaining about Trump acting like a dictator don't like him?

If you're talking specifics, show how he's gone above the law. I haven't seen that. Trump has had 1 veto. His executive actions and Presidential memorandums are on track to be less than Obama. In fact most every action he has made has been challenged in court. How often do you see that in dictatorships?

 If you just don't like his style, then too bad. His style doesn't make him a dictator. Maybe a dick, but not a dictator. 

And of course you end with the typical cheap shot. I guess you don't approve of the economy like 70%+ of the people do. You don't want record low female, youth, black, hispanic, asian, & veteran unemployment, business startups by women, millions off of welfare and food stamps, energy independence, decimation of ISIS, 4+million jobs created, etc. How could anyone support that? He says such mean things!

Don’t forget record number of associates charged with criminal acts. You can be judged by the company you keep. Support a politician with poor character because your stock portfolio benefits, and you are no different than a prostitute.

Just read that the National Cathedral announced that no such Presidential order exists for any funeral other than a past President. So he wants thanks for not having done a thing. Surprise.

As per a recent Meme, "Trump is engaged in a Twitter War with a dead man. And he is losing."

The guy that currently occupies the White House has stated that he loves the uneducated voters.

Gotta be uneducated if you have and STILL support him.

Anyone who supports a person that's in a Twitter (Shitter) War with dead Vietnam war hero must be uneducated.

Trump undercuts U.S. Treasury Department by announcing that he was rolling back North Korea sanctions that it imposed just A DAY AGO.

Kim has now been legitimized on the world stage and has more influence than ever -- all without doing a single thing to earn it. *sigh*

When asked to explain Trump’s tweet, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders simply noted that “President Trump likes Chairman Kim and he doesn’t think these sanctions will be necessary.”

So 45 likes Chairman Kim, but continues to slam a war hero. Go fuckin' figure.........

I am concerned that there's nothing conclusive about Trump in the report and this mess will just continue.
