Why Do Some People Get So Hot Under The Collar

about President Trump?

[ichkeria]

Emmie, part of a democracy is allowing people to oppose and criticise what they believe are policies detrimental to the nation. A lot of what Donald Trump has stated is popular because it is easy for people to understand. It doesn't make it right though :-) Hence the opposition He's already unpopular with more Americans than support him. And those people are just as ordinary as the ones who like what he's about.

I'm sure the some of the American electorate voted for trump because they did not trust Clinton plus he did promise just about everything any voter would wish from their president.

anneasquith - I entirely agree.

President Trump was partially gifted his office by the fact that he was (believe it or not!) perceived as better than the alternatives, the actual best of a bad bunch.

Add to that his 'refreshing' approach to politics - if he doesn't feel like running things past Congress, or following protocols, he just doesn't bother - and his off-the-planet boasts about what he would do, he had little trouble in securing the mandate, and the office.

Of course, now he has to deliver, which is obviously proving a little more tricky given that his promises were wildly imaginative, and he is unwilling to follow the processes needed to do more or less anything the right way.

As this is you're post Emmie, let me rephrase my reply, IMO his behaviour is not that of a normal person .
