President Donald Trump is overseas right now, doing personal appearances at his properties and making a fool of himself. So far, he's asked Japanese car makers to start making cars in the United States, apparently ignorant of the fact that three out of four Japanese-branded cars and trucks are already manufactured in America. And he hawked U.S. military equipment as if he were selling Trump steaks on YouTube.
That wasn't the worst of it. He also told American and Japanese troops that no nation should "underestimate American resolve." Then he quipped, "Every once in a while, in the past, they underestimated us. It was not pleasant for them, was it?"
quote:
He recently told reporters, "My attitude is the only one that matters," when it comes to dealing with North Korea, adding that he is "stronger and tougher" than his advisers. Similarly, when Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Trump last week whether he planned to fill appointments at the State Department, he replied, "Let me tell you, the one that matters is me. I'm the only one that matters, because when it comes to it, that's what the policy is going to be."
We don't know how much this president really understands about the limits of his authority. And we don't know how far the members of his own party and law enforcement officials who support him are willing to go. But we know what he would "love" to do because he's told us. He would love to use the police power of the federal government for his own purposes. By firing Comey and pardoning Arpaio, he's already pushed the boundaries. This used to be called abuse of power. Under Trump it's business as usual.

God, it's embarrassing to America to have to answer such tripe from the far left lunatic site...Saloon Magazine and their readers.What is it with leftists that they believe every word printed by their imbecilic brothers and sisters? Trump was talking about the decision making process in the White House. In that process, Trump IS THE ONLY ONE WHO MATTERS BECAUSE THE DECISIONS ARE ULTIMATELY HIS RESPONSIBILITY AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Got it now? Or do you need a flow chart to show you the way to the ultimate decision maker in the White House? IP: Logged |

Actually he was talking about filling positions within govt departments etc.. not necessary because he is the only dept head that matters.. why waste money? Paraphrasing his own words from interview. We don't need any one but Don the Con. He alone can straighten the country out.😉 IP: Logged |

Exactly what I said...and not what the leftist imbeciles at Saloon and other leftist lunatic sites reported.""Let me tell you, the one that matters is me, I'm the only one that matters because when it comes to it that's what the policy is going to be," Trump said on Fox News when pressed about vacancies by Laura
Ingraham. I know leftist lunatics believe the janitor, the gardener, the chef, the maintenance man should be able to overrule the President of the United States on policy decisions. Fortunately, neither President Trump nor the majority of Americans agree with leftist lunatics about much of anything. I know leftists just hate it when their lies are exposed. IP: Logged |

Agreed about Democrats being stronger but Virginia never had so many seats flipped nor such a margin of victory in decades.
surely this is a concern for GOP. Or is there so much complacency set in that GOP feels no need to change?IP: Logged |

Georgia flipped five more counties to blue, as well. You're right, IQ. Some republicans are panicking. More could be flipped in a year. States and/or counties. IP: Logged |

If you're not with President Trump, you're against him. If that means you Dems get a few seats, so be it. Bozos like McCain are practically Dems anyway.IP: Logged |
