I totally agree... I have been around this earth a long time but in all my travels I have never met a person male or female,, That was so full of himself, Thinking & acting like he is the greatest person on earth. Makes me feel so happy I am a Canadian.. He needs to find an easy chair in one of his so called BIG homes, grab a book on the mess he has created in the US. And began to wonder,, Do I have any friends left,,, Did I ever have any Friends ????? Unbelievable ......

I didn't see it but I thought he should have been removed before he ever got sworn in. He is worse than unstable.

"go to CNN & watch it" - that's going to give you unbiased " reporting (sarcasm). Seriously people; there's a man speaking plain talk instead of political speak & he's tagged a nut-job. Just go back to the campaign; does anyone recall TV stations showing pro Hillary supporters rioting? No; much better ",news" to show Trump's "regular Joe's" reacting. And he's so full of himself? We have a PM that never saw a camera he didn't like. IMHO, us "better than that" Canadians need to get over ourselves.

I watch many American channels both right and left. Since the election I have seen on both side the interviewing of many Republican representatives, and there are so many that would have made great Presidents. I understand why so many voters chose Trump, sometimes you do have to upset the applecart, but chosing a person who is so uneducated on the world and even national issues was a mistake.  
When it come to presidents, this man is intent on dividing a nation, I think that this point is now being understood by the Republican Party, I'm glad to see his actions and statements being questioned by by those who care about the country, and all people in it. I don't believe he is draining the swamp, mearly moving it,

Your last paragraph may prove to be true: time will tell but to speak of uneducated on world & even national issues - well, we have a PM who did little of anything before entering the political race. That's what I meant about us "better than them" Canadians. I know that many Republicans are against Trump: let's remember that the vast majority are career politicians looking toward re-election in the mid-term elections.

Trump is doing a great job, he's doing EXACTLY what the Americans wanted when they elected him. He's created over a MILLION jobs in the USA, the market is doing ALL TIME HIGHS. I am not saying he's a good person, he's probably a dick.... but come on you would rather have Hillary in power? There is ABSOLUTLY no one else in the world - who has done the things she has done, and is NOT IN PRISON! Lol it's actually laughable...

Could you provide links to these claims?..I hope you are not thinking just because he said this that it is true? Everything I read contradicts that claim such as this: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/president-created-lots-jobs-putting-trumps-claims-context/

Days of our Lives or Another World? I watch the Cheetoh Mussolini on a daily basis. Unfortunately I just fuel the fire because I watch. If we all had stopped listening and watching he would never have been elected. He is a product of a social media world. He barks at the media as "fake news", but it is the media that made him president. If they would stop covering his BS maybe the US concgress could roll up their sleeves and better their country. But the whole world now is focused on him as a character in a reality show.  
If you want more left wing insight watch Keith Olbermann The Resistance on YouTube. Short 8-10 minute videos that capture some insider insight into the president. I give this dog and pony show 2 more months. Then the replublicans are going to turn to midterm election mode and with Trump's approval rating they cannot hitch their wagons to him.

Not sure if we are talking about US or Canada here lol!

That's what 'Merica gets for voting him into office lol

He was just put in office to incite riots in the U.S. So they can bring in martial law and the military will be able to forcibly take US citizens guns.

Hunh?

Finally a politician that I can admire. Finally Someone who calls out the media in their one sided opinion based news reporting. We need a Trump up here too.

So he does one good thing out of a thousand and he's good in your book?? You've got some strange priorities.

JD said "So he does one good thing out of a thousand and he's good in your book?? You've got some strange priorities. "

Putting words in peoples mouth now. The reading between the lines that goes on now days is ridiculous. Did I really say that?  
 
Obama might have made one good decision in a thousand, Trump seems to be doing a bit better than that.  
 
By the way, If I like a politicians it is usually because I agree with their agenda over that of their opponent. Personally I was rooting for Ben Carson, But I've come to realize that he and any other republican would have ended up being but a puppet to the political establishment.  
 
We need leaders with backbone.  
We need leaders that do what is right regardless of consequences.  
We need leaders who speak clearly, without political correctness getting in the way.

So disappointing to see the number of sheeple on this site who would support tRump. It is easy to be bamboozled by someone like him if you are unwilling to do a reasonable amount of critical thinking.  
 
Taking him at his word is a mistake. Here is a list of 1000 false or misleading claims made by him in only seven months.  
 
http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/08/22/president-trumps-list-of-false-and-misleading-claims-tops-1000/?utm_term=.cd1ee80d9738

If I may, where does everyone get their US news from? I would assume everyone that thinks Trump is so terrible are constantly watching CNN? Do you watch or read any other articles from any other sources?  
 
Trump may be your unconventional leader, but let me tell you the US needs this. Traditional politicians have never been challenged,they line their pockets and the tax payers are the ones that ultimately pay. Could someone please explain how a public servant can accumulate a net worth of $100 million dollars with a salary of $180,000 - $400,000 over a period of 4-8 years. If you cant tell, I'm talking about the Clintons. I am also not saying that they are the only ones. Politicians as a whole are corrupt & now their little club might get exposed & they don't like it.  
 
Look at the news CNN constantly fills your mind with. First it was Trump sexually assaulted women, next it was Russia, now its hes a Racist. None of the above claims have gone anywhere because simply those claims are false. The mainstream media focuses on this claims to keep people from talking about thing good Trump has done.  
 
Economically trump has been adding jobs, reducing corporate regulations, & making their country more attractive to investors. The people who voted for Trump don't want a welfare cheque, they want jobs...  
 
I use to be like most people & put my faith in one news network. Then once I started to read from other sources I came to the conclusion that I was being filled with a crap. The same thing is happening in Canada with CBC. The liberal government gave a $675 MILLION pledge to CBC to bail them out. Do you think CBC will be fair to the conservative party or criticize the very people who kept them in business.  
 
Be warned for next election. The liberal government has a immigration disaster on their hands currently. CBC media will not report on this issue extensively, because the liberal government is getting worried about re-elections in 2019. 2019 election will be vital. Some of the proposed ideas that this government is taking serious will dramatically hurt our country.

mr trump and mr trudeau for that matter, were elected mostly by voters who were looking for political change. the result for both of those elections is that status quo politics is still in command of Ottawa and Washington. mr trudeau is flitting around the world shaking hands and kissing babies, all the while the liberals at home are taking care of business. mr trump on the other hand has no close allegiance apparently with anyone. his legacy to date is disgraceful. for anyone that has followed US politics and economy, mr trump has had little to no influence on either. both these leaders? trouble me. one isn't listening to the electorate while he travels the world and the other has the ability to disturbingly disrupt world affairs, perhaps to the point of war.

CNN...who watches that garbage...(fake news)....GO TRUMP...only wish you were Canadas prime minister,

You Are Spot On

You`re supposed to sip the cool-aid, don`t use a straw!

"

i can agree except when you state that the liberals at home are taking care of business,they are only taking care of themselves , people may not like trump but he has the guts to state what he thinks and act on it , not concentrating on loving everyone and taking selfies , which is the better leader ?

to tell me that Trump is a narcissistic psychopath that is in the position of most powerful leader in the free world. His policy and actions affect us not only as the U.S.A. neighbor but also as citizens of the world. He denies climate change in the name of jobs. He talks about eliminating NAFTA. He incites racism and division. His views towards woman and society are prehistoric and have no place in today's world. You can like him people, but the increases he is taking all the credit for are not his doing. As long as the sheeple in the US continue to follow with their eyes closed, his America first policies with close the US from the rest of the world. All while other world economies are looking to work together to bolster trade and co-operation. He is not going to make the US a world player. Look at how he is treated at world summit events. He is alone at the table and as long as he bullies it will remain that way. You cannot run a country like a reality TV show or a development company where you can just bully your way to the top. Diplomacy is a must. He spits back on Twitter everything he hears on Fox & Friends. Giving steam to conspiracy theories. He is like a 15 year old mean girl picking fights with his own senators. Talking about suspending the 2020 election in the US. how long before the US become a solely family run country? By the way that is an autocratic dictatorship. How far are they willing to let this go? And yes the only way it will change for the Good ole' Party is if it hits them in the pocketbook!

Michael p & Rum get my vote.

It isn't Trump supporters that are sheeple, because they are the ones going against the flow of the sheep.  
 
 
The sheeple are those that are willing convict and condemn a man without proof.  
 
The sheeple are those that believe their favorite opinion based news anchor as absolute truth without a shred of evidence.  
 
The sheeple are those that don't need evidence to believe the worst about a person, just because people they admire/follow/sheeple believe so.  
 
sheeple are people who believe Trump is a fake president, just because they don't like him. The truth is Trump is the real (not fake) President of the USA and is The President of all US citizens if they like it or not.

The same comment could have been made anytime in the last 8 years, just by substituting "Obama" for "Trump".

Just one thing I think everyone should remember is "united we stand, divided we fall", so how many people believe that the United States is more united under President Trump.  
What his motive is for causing division between everone in he country sort of stumps me, and taking the country back to refight battles will not "make Ammerica great".  
I believe that Dan's comment on who the president is was a great description of the man, which will do the country no good, and the damage he does to the Republican Party will further hurt the country if the party has to rebuild.

I don't understand how Trump is further dividing this country. I listened to his speech when he first condemned what happened in Charletsville. He said both sides where responsible, which is true. Yes there was a group of white supremacists, but there wasn't any violence until groups like ANTIFA showed up. This day in age, everyone should be condemning white supremacy, there is simply no place for that anymore. But, it is fair to call out both sides as they are both in the wrong. The media is now focusing their energy on painting Trump as a white supremacist. This is the new talking point to create more chaos.

1."Everything in the state". The Government is supreme and the country is all-encompasing.  
 
2."Nothing outside the state". The country must grow.  
 
3."Nothing against the state". Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong. If you do not agree with the government, you cannot be allowed to live and taint the minds of the rest of the good citizens.  
 
4. "The state use of militarism". It is implied mainly to keep the people and rest of the world in line.  
 
And now the question!  
 
Am I talking about Iraq, Iran, or any middle eastern countries or am I talking about Trump's USA?

If the answer to your question is Turmps USA could you please explain how you come up with that answer.  
 
Lets not forget it was the democratic party that invaded and removed foreign leaders. What has been the result in that? More bombs being dropped, more deaths of civilians and military persons, & at what gain? How have the people of Libya benefited from the US intervention when they removed Gaddafi? No denying he was a brutal leader, but are they any better off now? The democratic party has meddled & tried to control many countries.  
 
Your forth point is exactly what the democratic party did to the people of the United States. Remember the PRISM program. The US government collected and used data from internet providers to spy on its own people. Worst part about it is the government denied they where doing it, after an NSA agent exposed the whole thing. If that isn't using the military to keep people in line, I don't know what is...
