If Trump Only Channeled His Energies & Talents That He Uses To Cover Up His Crimes To Do......

good things - he could probably be a good president.

Just look at the sinister ways he acts and the tactics he uses to boost his own self. One has to realize that he does have some thought processes going on in his head - beyond senile dementia.

Who would have brought up pardons? Who would have strategized about recess appointments.

All the energies he's using to obstruct justice and cover his ass - if channeled for good - could have created a good legacy for this man.

There is good and evil out there in the world. He chose evil!!!!!! Sad.

the only talent he has is promoting himself. I don't think he has any redeeming values now or ever.

in his own right he has been successful. He's amassed a fortune. He's been in the public spotlight pretty much all his adult life - even though he did get his start with his daddy's money. He's had some successful businesses. He's had his share of failures. He became a TV personality. He did win the Repug primary and he did get elected president - even though he had help from Putin and the Russians - however many people he used and thrown under the bus during his rise to this level. He's got the Repugs scared of him. He continues to use his bullying ways to cover his crimes. Any Repug that supports him now should be well aware - if he gets cornered - he will throw them under the bus in a shot. Ryan and McConnell included. Look how he's treating Sessions - his first real staunchest supporter. Tillerson is having second thoughts now - I understand. And yesterday he threatened Price. This guy has no scruples.

But he is now the president. He's in a position - if he really channeled his energies the right way - to do good. That's all I'm saying.

All of us have the capability to be good or evil - and it is a choice we make. Unfortunately - he chose evil. Many call him an evil genius.

Please don't misunderstand my comments here to mean that I'm in anyway supporting this demoralizing, deplorable guy. I want to see him gone just as much as anybody here on DU. And after his display at the Boy Scout Jamboree yesterday - even more so now.

You can mess with my mind - Mr. Trump - but don't mess with the minds of our youth - they are our future.

So far his only objective is to undo everything President Obama accomplished. He spends all his time playing silly games with his tweets. Running the country is a serious undertaking and he is not up to the task. All he cares about is the roar of the crowd and he even used the Boy Scouts to that end. He can't be gone soon enough.
