Bernie, your thoughts: Why very many Trump supporters, I imagine, particularly professional and financially secure, espouse character as a high personal value and yet would never hire anyone with Trump’s character?
Hypocrisy. Pete Hegseth is a close second. The President did some very good policy changes and border control enforcement, then wham! Off the deep end, an offensive mouth with no filter is childish, even pathological emotional immaturity; it's a very bad look.
Well described Bernie. A despicable and totally unnecessary blabbering. However, you can't pant brush all Trump supporters as not loving America. That's as wrong as Trump was.
I've been completely skeptical since Jan, seriously thinking the President was headed on this projectory, my women's intuition and discernment told me it would be dicey before the year was up, and Bingo!
Sharon, I don't disagree. But would we really be better off if Trump were to go away tomorrow? He is getting a bunch of stuff that needs fixing, fixed. But it's not pretty nor easy. Nobody in my circle of Trump voters likes how he's doing things. But every one recognizes that there have been seriously good improvements. Thanks for your note.
Mature adults display magnanimity on such occasions regardless of what others do or have done. Trump repeatedly displays his self-serving, recklessly impulsive and childish nature because that is his core being. Perhaps the worst part is that people with personality defects like Trump can't be fixed, get worse with age and continue to see themselves as freekin' awesome!
"You can’t claim to love America and cheer for a man who despises everything that makes it decent. That’s not patriotism. That’s a cult."
Absolutely Bernie. On the way home from the office I caught a few minutes of Joe Pags and he ripped Trump. Hopefully more media commentators on the Republican side will come out and condemn Trump.
Awful comments, and fortunately he is out after this term.
Every time I see the increased unvetted Islamic presence in Europe, the southern border under control, the moves away from DEI, the efforts to get the male out of the girls' locker room, the recognition of there being two genders, and not two hundred, I see how Trump got back to the White House. It is a shame the Dems have so totally lost their way, we don't have the likes of Moynihan or Barbara Jordan to call for sanity.
As I've said before, one very positive aspect of President Trump is that he has exposed those who are the truly principled conservatives (HINT: not many) or, at least, truly principled Republicans, on the one hand, and who will trash their supposed principles to remain in office or to rake in the bucks in the right-wing media on the other.
Grip lost. Everyone I follow on the right called out this garbage. I was no fan of Meathead's politics but I weep for him and his loved ones. And he was very gracious on a Piers Morgan interview after the Charlie Kirk murder.
Wow, Trump's remarks does call for a harsh counter punch Bernie, and you were gracious, honest,and to the point. I was so gob-smacked by Pres Trump's verbiage, but not at all surprised. He is going over the dam and drowning himself as of late. How long can this go on? Seriously, how long? The fact the Pres doesn't recognize his bizarre behavior is more concerning than what he is actually spewing out.

Al, just curious, what would you list as unqualified wins for Trump so far this year. To be fair, I can think of a few:
1. Ceasefire in Israel/Gaza
2. Stock market continues to do well, despite the tariffs
3. Halting of DEI programs in corporate and academic institutions
4. Reduction of illegals entering the country
But compare these wins to the negatives, such as:
1. Using the DOJ as he personal goon squad to seek revenge on those whom he has perceived as wronging him.
2. Blackmailing companies, universities, countries to push his maga agenda
3. Pardoning criminals, including drug dealers
4. Disrupting the global economy with an economically illiterate tariff policy.
5. Siding with Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.
6. Putting grossly incompetent people (e.g. Hegeseth, RFK Jr.) in charge of vitally important goverment agencies, putting all Americans at risk.
....

Anyone who rationalizes or excuses this tirade is a cultist lunatic. It's (long past) time for the 25th Amendment.
