Trump: Oh boy I wonder how I can be an asshole today

(takes out phone and goes to twitter)

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

He's insufferable

What was supposed to happen? A corrupt politician goes in the white house instead?

The debates showed democrats had too much focus on social justice while ignoring issues that were really concerning much of the country. This is something even people on the left admit.

I supported Trump and I'm not convinced he will do a great job. He made big promises and now we see if he's just another politician.

He already said he isn't doing half of what he promised. So there's that.

There's a big difference from running for president and being the president. The campaign is more of an idea how they will lean and I anticipate Trump will lean as expected.

While dems are assuming the worst, I'm just really curious to see what happens.

You have entirely too much faith in the system. This system was supposed to prevent this situation from even happening. And it still happened. We had primaries filled with far more qualified people. And it still happened. Then we had a general election, and it still happened. We had debates that showed that he didn't know squat about anything, and it still happened. Then the Electoral College could have saved us, and it still happened.

I'm not going to have faith in the system. He will be appointing several supreme court justices and that will go a long way towards getting what he wants. Plus add in more cowardly GOP slugs who sold out everything they were supposed to be and we're looking at a recipe for disaster.

Nope! The electoral college is meant to represent the states, nothing more and nothing else ... 

The electoral college was not intended to overturn the states popular vote, it's meant to stand by them ... 

If you're not going to have faith in the system then you may as well not have faith in a state representative democracy or even a democracy in general ...

If you truly respected a democracy then it must also include respecting the result that you don't desire ...

Its not a democracy. If it were then Hillary would have won.

Maybe not in the purest sense but let me ask you a question ... 

How would you react if a similar figure to Donald Trump won executive powers through a popular vote ? 

America is also not a unitary state either, the founding fathers framed it as a federation where it is the 50 states that decide who becomes the president, not the entire nation itself ...

OK, how many presiddents in the past fully delivered on all their promises? Not even 50% of their promises. And its not really cuz they had lied, but because they face resistance the entire wway by the oposing side.The same happened while under bama. Its not like kids think that everything a president says goes, they all have to summit new bills and laws to congres, stated and all what ever and ends in a vote. Great ideas just denied because people still dont trust them and I expect this to be worse with trump. He will have a dificult time getting anything aproved because the winy democrats will opose him just to opose him, no matter how good the idea is. This "trump is not my president" bull will keep hi from complishing things, while the same oposing winers compllaing that he hasent done anything yet.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

What do you mean? The president who is leaving did that. He even beat campaign promises that his opponent Romney pledged during the 2012 campaign. His big thing was promising to get unemployment to 6% and Obama even beat that. He promised to get insurance to everyone and he did it. Here's a list of Obamas promises that were made, broken, or compromised on. Please keep in mind that he pulled this off with a GOP who made it their purpose in life to fight on everything he did and happily admitted it and for a country where there were several people who said things about him and his wife that were far from respectful. Trump even said that he wasn't from this country.

And Trump has none of those excuses. Congress and the Senate are both republican majorities. The states have over 30 republican governors.  If he can't do anything it will be because of his own people and doesn't have that excuse. Obama had a far harder time than Trump will.

Jesus the guy gets more ridiculous day by day. the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES essentially laughing at his defeated opponents on a New Years twitter post. doesn't get any more surreal than that, it's like he's trying to troll at this point



How this easily offended clown is going to survive four years as president without exploding like an overripe zit is beyond me.
