I will leave this here for you in case you forgot he didn't think much of Hillary in the past either.

Meh, I think the story here isn't Obama's opinions, it's that Trump's staff may have blocked him from accessing Twitter because he's such a loose cannon. Having said that, I'm taking these reports worth a grain of salt right now. It sounds plausible, but Trump also has a cockroach-like ability to keep himself alive by shutting up or backing off.

I would think that Trump most likely has not had time for Twitter, with all the traveling and rallies he has been doing the past several days.

I guess for all those people who are afraid The Donald doesn't listen to reason, this sets your mind at ease on that score. Do you REALLY think the staff could take away his Twitter account without his consent? He's willing to admit it was a problem and to be held accountable for not going there. He also seems to be taking the advice of a woman pretty seriously these days, too.
There's what people say on the campaign trail, there's what the opponent says about the other on the campaign trail, and there's how they act in a leadership role after the smoke clears.

Taking the advice of a woman pretty seriously is nice I guess, just wish he could do it with out calling her "Honey". And no it does not prove he listens to reason. Surely his advisers have told him to cut out the personal attacks. I just heard him attacking Jay z and Beyonce's singing. The man is a child.

So you think the fact that his staff took away his twitter access is an act of accountability? When I take away my child's phone, it is because he doesn't have the maturity to handle it.

I don't think it's reason he's listening to, it's his survival instinct. But even if it were reason, it doesn't set my mind at ease that he listens to reason only after turning things into a circus. I don't want to be at war because he can't calm down until after he's had a tantrum. Serious question: Assuming "it" is his word vomit and "there" is Twitter, is there a source that validates this assertion? "He's willing to admit it was a problem and to be held accountable for not going there." I'm just going to LOL at the idea that Conway is wagging the Trump tail. We clearly don't view her role the same. In re, "There's what people say on the campaign trail, there's what the opponent says about the other on the campaign trail, and there's how they act in a leadership role after the smoke clears.", I agree and also present the quote, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them." Trump's lack of personal attributes and qualifications have been on display for years prior to the race. I'm not a #neverTrump because of his campaign trail, but because of his track record throughout adulthood.

Noooooo, this doesn't set my mind at ease about anything. They can't take away his mouth when he's meeting with a world leader. They can't make him accountable to "not go there".

Can't anyone act like a grown up this election cycle?
Does the President of the United States really need to repeat rumors he acknowledges he can't confirm? Can't he just campaign for his party's candidate w/out stooping to taunting the other candidate?

After the disrespect, humiliation, and emotional torture Trump has put him through for the past 5+ years ... Pres. Obama has my permission to say any damn thing he wants to or about Trump. One big difference between them is that I can rely on the president not to go beyond the bounds of generally-accepted civility in our society. He may poke gently, but he won't spread lies about Trump. He won't encourage violence. He won't cheat or steal his way to success. Sadly, I cannot say the same about Mr. Trump.

No, you are mixed up - the Obamas don't plagiarize the Trumps, it is the other way around.

I see it is president Obama pointing out, once again, that trump does not have the temperament to be president. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

that's so true though. if his staff has to "parental guard" his Twitter account, they would have to be the ones running the country because he certainly can't be trusted to do it responsibly. I just hope we never have to even have a chance to see that.

I especially agree with this part. It's laughable to equate Obama's words with any of the things Trump has said.

I will leave this here for you in case you forgot he didn't think much of Hillary in the past either. big deal. I liken this to sibling rivalry. my siblings and I can seriously disagree and even dislike each other some time. one thing I know for sure, though, is that if it was our family against the outside world, we will put our personal shit aside and band together tighter than anything. we have done it in the past, we will do it in the future. once the outside matters are settled, we can chose to go back to sibling rivalry. until then, we are a united front.

Okay so you are saying you liken running this country to rivalry with your siblings? You are okay when the government changes their story to whatever fits the moment?

He knew she was a real contender, it was really the two of them in the Primaries and Edwards lost all credibility with his affair. Let's not forget that Obama nominated her to Secretary of State, so clearly he does respect and value her. carly do you only come to this board to post political stuff?
