When you are the President, you must be the President of all the people.

You cannot only represent 37% of the population and make all your decisions on the political impact of that 37%. By doing so, you are nothing but a fringe presidency.

This is the strategy of Donald J Trump. If he can get the bikers and gun owners on his side, then he will try to maintain the traditional support of the military and the evangelicals and hope that he can maintain a winning coalition. In my opinion, it is not going to work for the trump.

He intentionally divides the rest of the nation from his "coalition" and creates hatred and division solely for what he perceives to be political advantage. Divide and conquer comes natural for him.

But, a president cannot govern our country in such a way. If he is unable to unite our country toward common goals, his presidency is a failure before it begins. His tactics have taken a toll on our country already. Only time will tell how long he can sustain this attack upon decency and humanity.

1. He's no president, he's a wannabe despot like his

herolove pooty.

2. His goal is chaos and division.

Which is also Putin's goal for Western democracies

3. Notice he chooses folks he thinks are intimidating

to do his bidding. If it's true about the crowd actors then he specifically tries to get folks that most likely HE was intimidated by in his life, and thinks Americans will shy away from. Myself, the whole screaming mimi, biker, evangelical group is at best a bunch of itinerants. And that's the BASE he wants you to see. The real base being the same rich folks bush lauded. Problem is...you can buy anything w money (AND YES that includes happiness). After all, if money makes your problems go away, isn't that the basic way to be happy? Every time I hear someone say that I have to roll my eyes. "Money doesn't buy happiness." really? Try living in poverty. Everyone would switch.

4. Trump can't do that.

he can only be president to his dumbfuck base.

5. President 37%...

I have had reservations....but I now believe this country will unite, get through this and overcome...

6. I don't think he's functioning at all

as President. What he does is babble on Twitter and speak at campaign rallies and go golfing. Oh yes, and go overseas and make a spectacle of himself and shame us before the world.

I really believe all the hard work is being done by others. Not well enough of course. Just to get by.

7. He will never be my president.

I will always see him as a failed businessman, a second rate reality tv personality, a gaudy showman, and now a treasonous, evil and corrupt asshole. But a President? Never.

[gratuitous]

8. Too complicated!

The popular media could never be expected to grasp that narrative. Now, here's a look at how health insurance plans that cover women's health means you're directly paying for abortions.
