George Washington
Farewell Address — 1796 Category: Citizenship
Citizens by birth or choice of a common country, that country has a right to concentrate your affections. The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism, more than any appellation derived from local discriminations.

Thomas Jefferson
A Summary View of the Rights of British America — 1775 Category: Political Leaders
It behooves you, therefore, to think and act for yourself and your people. The great principles of right and wrong are legible to every reader; to pursue them requires not the aid of many counselors. The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest. Only aim to do your duty, and mankind will give you credit where you fail.

This very true statement dates our constitution, unfortunately...Most people do not appreciate honesty enough anymore, for this to actually be a reality. IMO

Certainly Donald J. Trump does not appreciate honesty enough, if at all. IMO

Compared to Obama, Trump is an angel. Obama spread apologies for our country all over the world, he lied about more than he told the truth and he duped poor citizens into thinking Obama care was the answers to their prayers..Trump didn't try to hide his past history to keep from having to be honest about it, either. Come on Bogus, if you are going to exaggerate, let's spread the guilt all the way around....

Come on Bogus, if you are going to exaggerate, let's spread the guilt all the way around.... Yeah right, so the map of the hurricane works for you, nuking hurricanes works for you, windmills cause cancer works for you.? What past history could Trump hide, tons, like his finances. I would think common sense would have told persons, he is a liar, a cheater and one big baby, whose inner child says, don't cop to mistakes and never say sorry and manipulate everything you possibly can, from the wives, to the business to politics. The guy has golfed more days than in the WH after dissing Obama for not being on the job. In this case, thank God others are on the job keeping it half sane. Whoever those republicans are, thank you. Mattis has been quite uh interesting hasn't he.........along with quite a few others and it wasn't due to conservative politics, it's due to a person who has no clue what he is doing or what he says. Anyone notice, Trumps most happy moments are at his rallies...............so today some poor dude had to take the sharpie blame........with the president, I don't know, sure you do and you wonder why the majority of the public hates him? You can keep asking but you do know!

Do you actually think Trump made that stupid chart...NO, of course, he didn't. As far as the other BS, I haven't heard that. Did Obama ever say he was sorry for telling us all that we could keep our own doctors, or that Obamacare was going to triple in cost the next year..or do you think he just forgot to? They are both human and screw up..just like you and me. Do 99% of politicians lie...Yes, so why is it so different for Trump to? Has there ever been a president that has had to fight the left for every inch of progress he has made, yet he is still making more progress than Obama ever did. Do you think that possibly some leftie used that sharpie to embarrass Trump? I guess it is possible, as some of Obama's and the left's explanations for error. The only way the majority hates Trump is in your mind...and the election will show you, just as the last one did. Today, people don't openly voice their political choices like they always have...it might get you stabbed, your car vandalized or your house burned down by some crazy hate filled leftie nut. It is a shame that people can not voice their opinions because of the hate your left has manufactured simply on lies, and BS. I am not asking you to like him...but make sure your claims are true before spreading them around. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-nuke-hurricane-comment-president-slams-suggestion-he-wants-to-nuke-hurricanes-as-fake-news/And, what Trump actually said was "They say wind turbines cause Cancer" He did not confirm or deny it either way.

I don't know...who they is...
Do you?
Plus the other thing you said was not true either... no comment on that one?
I guess someone just likes lying about Trump...can you imagine? If he was as bad as you say, no one would have to manufacture lies, would they?

There is no lying, someone used a sharpie, someone said Obama was not born here and I sent investigators, someone said, my crowd was bigger than Obama's crowd, someone said Obama wire tapped me. Someone said only a few people died in the hurricane in Puerto Rico and , no golfing, not while he was on duty and exactly how many golfing days has he had, including when a hurricane was blowing into the US and he golfed. As conservatives whined about Obama's vacations how many absent days did Trump have? How much has it cost taxpayers to fly him back and forth to his resorts? How many persons have left his admin, not idiots like Scaramucci, Omarosa, who are dissing him(who he choose) but capable persons? Far to many. Persons including dems voted for him because of his history of making money, everyone thought he'd put money in their pockets, that may or may not be true in his business ventures but the economy of govt. is far different and he doesn't get it. I would never vote for a dem because he is a millionaire/billionaire!

I didn't vote for Trump because he is a millionaire/billionaire..and I don't think anyone else did. Most of the things you wrote Trump said, were true...I can't help you don't believe so.
Trump has his own private planes...why would we be footing the bill? He doesn't even take his salary..come on Katie.
Most of those that have left Trumps administration have left because he doesn't practice politics the same as most politicians. He expects the same kind of energy and work that he gives to the office and if they don't...out they go. I think holding on to people that do not work well with your way of thinking or policies, is rather stupid...so why would he keep people that just don't work for him? No one thought Trump was going to p0ut money in their pockets..that is bull and a non-existant cop out you have been fed.
