If you don't applaud Trump, you are treasonous

Now had he treated previous president with this kind of respect I could at least given him a tiny pass on this.

Is he modelling himself on Kim Jong ill?

And he’s specifically speaking about elected Democratic lawmakers. That’s awful.

I'm guessing if a Dem Rep had yelled "YOU LIE!", ala Joe Wilson, during the SOTU, he'd have been hauled off in chains?

Ugh. Barf.

He has a really weird definition of “President of the United States”.

He's divorced from reality.

He's testing the waters for a new rallying cry.


Because that's how we decide if something is treasonous. Because somebody said it was, so why not.

Why not??  Well, because there are these things called LAWS that we follow here in our country.

YOU, as President, do NOT get to make sweeping proclamations a la a royal monarch.

You were elected President, NOT KING.  And not authoritarian dictator, either.  



I agree with this.  The longer it goes without people (the press, Congresspeople, whoEVER) calling him out on his LIES, UNTRUTHS, and MADE-UP statements-- because that's what they are-- the more the people who listen to him BELIEVE what he says, no matter HOW FALSE it is. 

The video is in this CNN article.

ETA Found a link I could embed.

Cnn’s article said that because dems didn’t applaud hum, he hinted it will be difficult for him to work on any bipartisan bill with them. Is that true? Or is cnn coming up with stuff from thin air now?

that's the problem-- I don't understand why the Press pool, etc. do not HAMMER SHS with questions and comments about shit like this!! Just to get the point across that we SEE and HEAR his lies.  Then maybe someone in the White House can work on him to keep his mouth shut and stick to the script when he's talking, perhaps?!? 

Some people probably think 'oh, it's just Trump being Trump' and because he says so MUCH untrue stuff, it's hard to call him out on all of it.

But because calling out his lies DOESN'T happen (and especially not on Fox, the President's propaganda network) his devoted followers do NOT know just HOW MANY lies and untruths he spouts on a regular basis.   And because of THAT, when 'they' (Trump supporters / devotees) see 'us liberals' getting upset about it, they think 'oh, they're just special snowflakes.'

But what we ARE is CONCERNED CITIZENS WHO DO NOT LIKE LYING, MISLEADING, OR UNTRUE STATEMENTS from the people in our government. Doesn't matter WHO it is.

I mean, come on! If you'd call out your 8-year old for saying something untrue, then why not the President??

I would absolutely stand when he entered a room as that is protocol, however I would not call not standing to be treasonous.
I respect the office, just not the man in it.
I don't expect others to feel the same.

To recap.

He so very much wants to be a dictator. I do believe he thought he would have those powers as President.
