a short reply ripped from the pages of something without a name...

>Half of US population supported Trump.

You have a vivid imagination. In fact, only about a quarter of the population v**ed for Trump.

Trump was elected by a little more than a quarter of eligible v**ers

And even if the entire U.S. population had v**ed for Trump, that would not make him qualified to serve. The t***h is not subject to a v**e.

As to the point of your question, let me get this straight:

Trump mocked a war hero who was tortured in captivity.

Trump mocked a Gold Star family whose son died in combat as a serving member of the U.S. military.

Trump implied that an American-born judge could not render an honest verdict in a case involving Trump’s business interests because of the judge’s “Mexican background.”

Trump implied that violence against protesters at his campaign rallies was excusable. [Edit, March 5, 2017: He also offered to pay any legal fees incurred as a result of such violence. My thanks to Claire Philpott for reminding me of this.]

Trump implied that his opponent for the Presidency should be assassinated and that her e-mails should be hacked by a hostile foreign power. [Edit, March 5, 2017: He implied the assassination threat but explicitly invited a foreign power to hack his opponent’s e-mails. My thanks to Claire Philpott for the clarification.]

Trump called his opponent a “nasty woman” in a debate and promised to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her after the e******n.

Trump lost the popular v**e by nearly 3 million v**es.

Trump called his own supporters, after his e******n, “vicious” and “out of control.”

Trump compared the actions of his own country’s intelligence services to that of N**is.

Trump divided families, denied green-card holders their legal rights, and provoked protests across this nation and around the world, by his travel ban.

When his travel ban was ruled illegal, Trump disrespected the judiciary, the third branch of government under our Constitution, referring to a judge as a “so-called judge.”

Trump attributes reports of improper contact with Russian intelligence services by members of his campaign, to sore losers from Hillary’s campaign who are supposedly fabricating the whole story.

And you ask if Trump opponents are dividing the nation? By the mere fact of booing on late night TV?

Are you serious?

Edit, March 3, 2017:

My thanks to the many respondents who left gracious comments in support.

My thanks to others who continue to prove things about the mentality of Trump v**ers that I could never prove on my own. Truly, some of you do my work for me.

Trump v**ers, the rest of us are wondering how long it will take you to admit that you are embarrassed by your candidate.

Why do I say this? Because all one has to do is to cite his words and acts to make you cry “foul!”

Edit, March 4, 2017: Trump is now on a paranoid tear about Obama, claiming that his predecessor wiretapped Trump Tower.

As intelligence agents point out, had such a thing actually happened, it must have been approved by a federal judge on a reasonable suspicion that phone lines in Trump’s residence or office were being used in illegal communication with a foreign power.

Trump, citing no evidence, accuses Obama of ‘Nixon/Watergate’ plot to wiretap Trump Tower

Sorry, folks, but it’s official: the President of the United States is giving a very convincing imitation of a frothing mad man. The only question is when Mike Pence and Trump’s cabinet will man up and call for the men in the white coats.

Trey Gowdy's thoughts: No evidence Obama wiretapped Trump Tower

By Al Weaver (@alweaver22) • 3/6/17 11:12 AM

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said Monday that he has not seen any evidence that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower, but that President Trump will have access to any documents on the matter because wiretapping creates a paper trail.

"No, sir," Gowdy told Fox News' Bill Hemmer when asked if he has seen evidence to back up Trump's accusation. "I don't think the FBI is the Obama team and I don't think the men and women who are career prosecutors at DOJ belong to any team other than a blindfolded woman holding a set of scales.

"We have certain tools that this country needs to keep us safe, and it is great and wise and prudent and legal for those tools to be used lawfully and appropriately," Gowdy said. "If they're not used lawfully and appropriately, there is a paper trail and we'll be able to find it out."

The South Carolina Republican said it is "hard to cross-examine tweets," a reference to Trump's Saturday morning messages in which he raised the issue, compared it to the Watergate scandal and called former President Obama a "sick" guy.

Gowdy added that the Trump administration and the Department of Justice will have access to the pertinent documents if either an intelligence or criminal inquiry was launched under Obama.

"The Obama team is no longer in charge," he said. "So any information the current Department of Justice has that suggests the previous Department of Justice acted inappropriately, they are welcome to release it."

1. Only a quarter v**ed for Trump. I believe he won with 46-48% of the v**e. Granted NOT 50%, but if you discount all the dead people, i******s that v**ed for Hitler, he won the popular v**e.

2. He is more qualified to serve than Obastard. Obastard was so bad a f--kup, that he makes i***t CARTER look good. Obastard has now taken the #1 slot as WORST President ever.

3. Yes he mocked McCain, but he isnt a war hero. Fact is that he sold his countrymen to the enemy by submitting to the enemy. There is now reports there are Americans still left behind in captivity to this day, because of him. He is a T*****R.

4. Since Trump is considered, wrongly, anti mexican, of course the judge will not be impartial.

5. He never advocated violence against Hitlers little N**i's. But I am sure he said they should defend themselves. Fact is that Hitlers N**i's have been doing all the violence.

6. He never advocated assassination. Now that has been spoken from Hitlers side though.

7. Hitler IS a nasty woman. She SHOULD hve been investigated.....B******i, Tax evasion, illegal funding of her "charity", and secret meetings with Russia.

8. Trump did not lose the e******n by 3 million v**es. I******s v****g, dead people v****g, and double v****g doesnt count. Once you take those out of the equation, Trump wins by at least 5+ million v**es.

9. Comparing our intel with the tactics of the N**i's? Absolutely!! Using intelligence agencies to spy on American citizens because they think differently than the Negro Imposter has happened. That is a fact.

10. That travel ban was done by Obastard, Klintoon, but when done by Trump it isnt okay? Whereas the dimocraps were letting them in our country to destroy it within, and to get their illegal v**es, Trump is trying to keep the terrorists out. But I guess a possible 9/11 situation is what you want, you f*****t N**i.

11. The "so called" judges that overturned his travel ban are just that. F**E JUDGES! 9th circuit court has had almost 98% of all their decisions overturned by the USSC because the 9th's decisions have consistenly been unconstitutional. ANY judge that doesnt follow their oath to protect and defend the constitution of the USA, is just like Obastard and Hitlery. T*****RS, and undeserving of their positions in government. And technically, Trump didnt need to listen to those judges. Most judges OUTSIDE THE QUACK F**E 9th Circuit court said he travel ban was legal. The biggest mistake Trump made was not to tell them to go F--K themselves.

12. The reports of Russian collusion is false, and is being done by the dimbocraps to keep Trump from fulfilling his promises of making America great again. People like the dimbocraps, and you, want to destroy this country. Thats why you h**e this great man,

13. Trump is uniting this country more and more behind him by these continous BS attacks from your N**i friends. As opposed to the Ukraine, you N**i's here will NOT win.

12.

And as to why you do not like Trump?

You are one of them N**i pukes.

Nuclearian Loc: I live in a Fascist, Liberal State

And you are very convincing as a brain dead i***t. You actually think that Obastard, who has done so many BAD things, would let anybody keep him from doing this? Do another joint, and stay in your braindead world.

You will go to no end to keep the lies about Obama alive.. you are an average right wing nut case h**er..

trump did NOT win the popular v**e and no v***r f***d exists in any amount large enough to impact an e******n.

You post is simply nonsense..

If you wish to rehash any of that, post it one at a time and I will gladly rip it apart for you..

You poor old soul, may God protect the feeble minded , for they know not what they do.

Yes they do! They v**e for Hitler.

Wolf,

I thought you had dropped off the planet...

I may get old but still a stubborn sob.. can not help it..

As per normal, I see no point in your post other then the usual good vibes..

I could add a few more reasons why I do not like trump, but they will all come out as he favors his own people at the banks and in the towers of business.

So you take care out in the isolated reaches of your kingdom and keep posting..

PeterS

And Trump could have found out all this without saying a word in public. He's either dumb as a rock or the whole thing was just to deflect from his Russian problems. I'll choose that as my reason not to like him--he has no balls...

I just read the headline of why you didn't v**e for Trump. Nobody cares why you didn't v**e for Trump. What people do care about is WHO is Mr.Presidente now. And it's Mr. President not Madam President. By the way I didn't v**e for Hillary because she is a lying crook.

You personify the orange man v**er. I would hold you to no higher goal....

And you personify a pinko c****e Kool-Aid drinking Liberal. And I do not hold you to a higher goal. Once a pinko,the dark side won't let you come back. I'll pray for your soul.
