What is not understood, is, it is Trump himself causing the turmoil, causing the chaos, causing calls for his removal - he is doing it. In his business, he did the same thing - make enemies of all who knew him, refuse to pay his bills, causing companies to go bankrupt, loaded up with court cases as he sued and was sued.
You are enumerating the very reasons why I didn't vote in the 2016 election; thus, we are starting on the same page (more or less). But then you go on to say...
...then in office, continue after the media, attack judges, the courts, the Justice Department...
I respectfully submit that you haven't been noticing how corrupt our government has become--not even close to noticing it, in my opinion. You merely notice things that all of us have noticed--for example, the fact that Trump is a kind of
over-the-top a__hole. As I have already stipulated, Trump's character flaws are very clear and arguably worrisome in some ways. Unfortunately, Trump's flaws pale in comparison to the filth that has overtaken the government as a whole.
Are you so filled with contempt for the poor, fallen soul that you cannot even see
why Trump is so fiercely attacking the media and the judges/courts and the Justice Department?
Maybe you don't have the time or energy to keep up, to think deeper than the surficial stuff, but I have found the spiritual energy and made the time over the past five decades to notice the profound corruption of our government. I have been following that monumental mess ever since JFK was murdered
by our own government. I have even dared to say on TBR that I believe that our American government ranks among the most corrupt in the world--but the corruption has found nasty ways of hiding behind the Constitutional
form of our Republic--ultimately in contempt of that very Constitution.
Superficial political observers--that includes about half of our monumentally dumb/naïve/gullible/lazy electorate--are being conned into thinking that everything will be okay even if we do not take especially drastic steps to call out the monsters/criminals in the media and the courts and the DOJ and the State Department and the FBI and the CIA and the Bureau of Land Management and the BATFE and the EPA and the entrenched bureaucracy as a whoie and the banking world (including the Federal Reserve) and the crony "capitalists" (especially the super-rich Socialists who control the social media platforms) and academia and, last but not least, the entertainment industry.
My point is that our beloved nation has become corrupt
almost beyond belief. And it turns out that it is a global mess being orchestrated by demonically energized monsters that the vast majority of American, evidently including you, know
next to nothing about. It amounts to a world-wide Satanism.
Don't kid yourself about this. Don't be just another boiling frog, TBR friend. Don't fail to notice that our Constitutional Republic is being targeted for complete destruction under Global Socialism. Don't fail to notice that this is the reason why Trump is publicly facing off against the media and the courts and the DOJ and the State Department and the FBI and the CIA and the Bureau of Land Management and the BATFE and the EPA and the entrenched bureaucracy as a whole and the banking world (including the Federal Reserve) and the crony "capitalists" (especially the super-rich Socialists who control the social media platforms) and academia and, last but not least, the entertainment industry.
(All of his faults withstanding, Trump has a lot more guts than any recent POTUS. (I guess we could say that this is one of the odd benefits of his narcissism! Anyway, Trump is not going to repeat the mistakes of Bush 43, incessantly going-along-just-to-get-along, and incessantly following the spiritually stupid adage of never-speaking-about-someone-when-you-don't-have-anything-nice-to-say-about-them. Under the circumstances, maybe a patriotic narcissistic bull is just what we needed to overturn the potentially deadly mess caused by an anti-American narcissistic snake and an anti-American narcissistic Jezebel.)
...insult other countries leaders, insult the countries themselves, go after athletes, fire his own people, insult congressmen, both Republicans and Democrats...
Trump is given to insulting our enemies. Most of the countries in the U.N. hated us before Trump was elected, and the numbers have not gotten appreciably worse. The EU is even moving in our direction on several fronts in several countries. And North Korea may very well be pacified by yearend.
Trump is even given to insulting our domestic enemies--including ignorant and often lying Black racists, disloyal staffers (like the Globalist Secretary of State who referred to Trump as a moron), Hollywood types who have called for his assassination, and
crooked Congressmen and Senators. Nominal Party affiliations do not protect hypocrites from Trump. He is the least PC President we have ever had. He is, in fact, a sort of a "bull in a china shop." This is why he was elected. And thank goodness he won: another President Clinton would have been our nation's DOOM. (If you think otherwise, you haven't been following the Arkansas Mafia as long as I have.)
As an important aside, Trump's brashness is actually consistent with an obscure but potentially useful adage attributed to a Professor at the famous Wharton School of Business. Whereas we normally say "If it ain't broken, don't break it," the Wharton Prof said "If it ain't broken, break it."
...calls to jail people he doesn't like, insult everyone with tacky names, call to change law so he can sue the media, lie after lie after lie.
You have bent the truth by insinuating that Trump wants to jail people merely because he doesn't like them. (I think you are projecting. Your insinuation [accusation] is very much like saying Trump should be impeached in the House and convicted in the Senate
just because you find him disgusting.)
The truth is that our POTUS doesn't much like people who deserve to be in jail.
I am aware from another post that you think Comey was a kind of saint; as I understand it, however, Congress is recommending criminal prosecution of Comey. For that matter, it was the rank-and-file members of the FBI who recommended that Trump fire Comey for egregious violations of ethics, arguably involving dimensions of outright criminality.
In short, when we subject Comey's self-exalting autobiography to cross-examination, he looks like a very bad guy, indeed. And his determination to protect Jezebel Clinton was ANYTHING but NOBLE. (By the way, Comey ran the conspiratorial circus of top FBI criminals who plotted desperately to take Trump down illegally--perhaps even to assassinate him, according to recent rumors [leaks?]. Let's see what turns up in the "missing FBI text messages." [Frankly, I assume they contain really bad stuff, since this is the only reason why the FBI initially reported that they were "missing"--only to be found by the DOJ's OIG, I believe, and possibly
military intelligence.])
Finally, I would point out that I agree with our POTUS that the media have misused the First Amendment. The media
can be sued by private citizens for lying. This has long been recognized. It's time to stop them from
recklessly, knowingly lying with the specific intention of damaging politicians. The MSM is practically a modern American version of the old Soviet Pravda. They are not just practicing Free Speech anymore than Pravda was.
We cannot stop the press from publishing things we don't like, including opinions that we find abhorrent, but there ought to be legal sanctions (lawsuits, at least) for malicious lying, especially in the context of a Global Socialist conspiracy to overthrow our Republic.

Anyway, I think you will eventually have to swallow the red pill, as they say. I believe that there will be hundreds of arrests, including arrests made overseas, in the next several weeks and months. I will charitably and cheerfully assume that the revelations will be shocking enough to make you set aside your contempt for Trump, as I already have. Even when I find him disgusting in one way or another, I am glad he's our POTUS
at this time.
