Trump was asked about how he thinks about trying to bridge country's divisions. His answer:

1. So I guess the short version of this is. . .

Sure there's a divide.

And it's caused by the other side.

So fuck 'em if they can't take a joke.

[C_U_L8R]

2. A complete buffoon

The words stream out but don't even form complete thoughts.

3. 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦

untiI I saw Daniel Dales name, I thought it was Borrowitz or the Onion

[PSPS]

4. "Central casting?" Also, he's apparently president only for his "base" of deplorables.

[The_Counsel]

12. I Saw That "Central Casting" Remark and Thought....

"...What the entire FUCK???!"

Seriously?

We're NORMALLY nominating lying crooks to the Court now...?

[PSPS]

14. He's forever in TV "reality show" mode

[unblock]

5. "there would be no division if everyone just agreed with meeeeeeee!"

[The_Counsel]

6. Okay, Fine, So I'LL Point Out the Obvious Message Dolt45 Doesn't Get...

When you're actually TRYING to be an agent of unity and inclusion, there IS no "other side."

When you're President of the UNITED States, dismissing entire groups of people out of hand because they don't agree with or look like you usually ends badly. For you.

9. "The fools on the other side" as he calls us.

[leftstreet]

7. If he thinks $$ means harmony - give us all a million bucks!

or more!

What a moron

[TeamPooka]

8. President Ignorance on Parade strikes again.

[SammyWinstonJack]

10. I tried to read it. Just can't take it anymore! He's a MORON!

[irisblue]

11. Also,

He keeps making the statement that b/c the "economy is good" , everyone should love & keep me in the WH.

[babylonsister]

13. Such a moron-who's making a fool of himself, and

he doesn't even realize it, and/or doesn't care.

[Doreen]

15. Is this coming from the trump tower of babble?

[qwlauren35]

16. Interesting.

Unemployment is down.
Wages are up.
The housing market is recovering.

I am not surprised that 50% of the men in the US like DJT. The social aspects of his character do not affect straight white healthy males. For them, it is a personal choice. Like him or don't like him.

Someone who saw better wages under Trump is going to have a reason to like him.
Someone who got a job under Trump is going to have a reason to like him.
Someone like me who can finally refinance because my house is no longer under water - 10 years later - is going to have a reason to like him. (I don't.)

I really, completely get it now. He has benefitted some people financially, and they are going to like that. Of all of the things I hate about Trump, none are financial, and that's all some people care about in a president. They don't care if he's embarrassing, they don't care if he's boorish, misogynistic, racist, incompetent, or any other adjective I can think of. It's the economy.

So, if a Democrat wants to win, s/he has to prove that there won't be a financial impact to someone's bottom line. Like taxes going up. People hate that.

This is going to be a very interesting campaign season.

17. My head hurts after reading that.

What in the holy hell is this blithering idiot talking about?

And we thought Sarah Palin was the Queen of the word salad? This guy makes her look like Shakespeare.

He truly needs a white jacket and a trip to Bellevue.

[logosoco]

18. What an extra large load of crap!

it is almost 2020, this man is going down in history as the person who fought so hard AGAINST doing anything for climate change. Money is all that matters to people like him.

And those employment numbers? They DO NOT count people like my sister and I who have not had paying jobs for many years (both of us lucky enough to be able to take care of our grandkids). And I don't really think the gains in the stock market mean much to most people, and they can drop and fluctuate so I would not be bragging on that.


There is a dividing line:those who care about the planet, and those who only see profit.
