Trump discovers something else is "not so easy"

He's so clueless. However, if he could really seem himself clearly, he could see that he has so many traits that Kim Jong-un exhibits. He really ought to be able to understand the leader of North Korea as well as anyone.

What gets to me is that he thinks he's the only one that knows anything and whatever it is has only just come to light. Not just about  NK but everything he talks about. He tries to qualify his lack of knowledge with phrases like ......... "I tell you how it is"....."you don't know this but this and this happens"........."I'm telling you, it doesn't work that way"........"I just found out and I'll tell you"....."It's more difficult than you know" ......and on and on it goes.

He thinks and obviously believes that everyone else has no knowledge of anything and he is this great knight in shining armour who is going to enlighten the world on what is going on as if he's the only one that knows all these things

. He needs to shut up as he's making himself look more uneducated than he really is. The rest of us are fed up of saying to ourselves......really? you didn't know about that until now?

I'd love to get into the mind of other world leaders and see what they think when he speaks to them in this manner. It's like teaching your Grandmother how to suck eggs.

Except that a narcissistic personality would never be able to see it like the rest of us.

what baffles me is that he will contradict himself in the same sentence, even. That Fox interview, he said something like 'tax reform is easy... but it's tough.'

SO WHICH IS IT?!?!?  

That much overused phrase "No shit, Sherlock" springs to mind.

and why did it take a chinese leader to explain this to him? could it be he does not listen to his own intelligence agency people?? I mean.. china is not exactly our friend.

what a f...idiot.

It's not just trump who didn't understand things are "not so easy" but the folks who voted for trump don't understand it either.

A lot of these folks voted for trump because they wanted him to shake things up.

But what one wants and the reality can more often then not be two seperate things.

There is no real training for the job as president and I believe when the candidate becomes president he or she is in for a rude awakening.  But at least if they have some government background they may have an inkling of what is waiting for them.  There is a reason the office ages the person.

So when voters believe a non politician can shake up Washington they are also in for a rude awakening when it doesn't happen.

And in this case the voters who wanted change were blinded by the "trump" brand and believed that he was a successful businessman and could bring that same success to D.C. and shake it up.  But when you actually look at his record he isn't that successful as a businessman.   So they didn't chose the brightest bulb on the block.  Just someone who knows how to sell a "brand".  

A segment of trump voters had voted for President Obama and were disappointed that he did not enact the change he promised.   They blamed him for it without looking at the reasons he could not accomplish what he had promised.   So now they are pinning their hopes on trump.  I suspect they will be disappointed yet once again.

You just can't help yourself can you? It ALWAYS gets turned back to Obama with you. But, guess what, HE ISN'T PRESIDENT ANYMORE!

It doesn't matter if he's not the president. He was the president very recently, for 8 years and all of the things people keep bringing up Obama/Hillary usually have a similar incident that it reminds me of. I can comment on that just as anyone can comment on what they want to. Don't like it, scroll.

The only thing you are doing is trying to do is suggest that somehow his behavior is normal because so and so did something similar.

Now you may have been able to make one of your valid points if these lapses and missteps were a rarity.  But in trump's case it's just one right after another.  There is no let up from the missteps trump is doing, they just keep coming.

trump is no longer the businessman who can declare bankruptcy for a do over.  These missteps that he keeps making affect the lives of the American people and to some degree the people in the rest of the world.  There are very few do overs for the President of the United States.  There has to be a trust factor that he or she is going to get it right.  That trust is not there with trump because of his actions day after day.

More and more people are becoming concerned and some on this board start these threads to talk about his actions because of the uncertain future his actions cause.  There is a sense of unease because you can't trust him.

And then you come along with your "but so and so did this or that."  It adds nothing to the conversation and looks like you don't get it or you don't care because you want to keep slamming President Obama and/or Hillary.  In either case a real disconnect.  

 

huh?

What she said above.  

You are just plain insufferable.

Of course, it reminds you if Obama. Everything does.

Fine. So you compared. What do you think about Trump's comments? Not Obama's. Trump's. Is it possible for you to evaluate Trump's actions without uttering Obama or Clinton's names?
