Actually, clapping back at every little petty thing suggests weakness on his part. Having the most important job in the country (probably the world) you'd think he'd rise above criticism and focus on the task at hand. Nope, he's a bully and his fragile ego prevents him from being the ultimate professional he should be. 

People should be a little nicer to him??? Pffff how about Trump leading by example? He's created this negative aura around him all on his own accord. 

Good to know the Prez shouldn't "clap back" when other countries approach the line from time to time. No reason to give them warning and let them know you won't be putting up with their wrongdoings. I guess that means that reporter who went missing in the middle east is no big deal because it was just a poke to the U.S. and not worth doing anything about. I guess Trump should just disregard NK and let them build up their nuclear program without batting an eye because it's just background noise for now.

Is that the type of example you'd like him to set, or is there a certain set of rules you specifically would like him to live by as Prez? Are you worthy of being Prez? Then how do you know exactly how they should conduct themselves to be the best they can be for all the people?

What the F does this have to do with him trolling the citizens of the U.S. on twitter etc?

Not much, since I wasn't talking about that due to the fact it wasn't specifically part of the conversation. Can twitter be ignored? Is it mandatory or just Trumps portion?

You think when the U.S. responds to other countries, offensively or defensively, that they always agree with America's stance and how they handled the situation, whether or not the American people agree with what their own country did? What if the entire world is against it? Does that make the U.S. and it's people wrong? Take that example and shrink it down to a single country. Not every American has the exact same values and yet the Prez has to make a decision. Some of the decisions made don't please some people. Does that make him and his voters wrong no matter what? Should other countries always retaliate and do things to cause the U.S. a headache? Like manipulating elections for example? Are they justified? Are the Trump haters justified? Lead by example right?

Trump will be president again, we all know this to be true.

Not unless Democrats put forth someone incredibly unpopular. 

Trump won by only thousands of votes in the right places, against an incredibly unpopular candidate.  His popularity has dropped since then, and Dems have more at stake this time.  

Any candidate that runs for president will be unpopular, especially a Democrat. Democrats have made some bad choices lately to the point where Trump will become president again by default.

No.

There's a difference from a candidate who is disliked by the opposing party, and a largely unpopular candidate.  

Snoopy said:

What bad choices are those?  

And how do they cancel out the bad choices, Trump has made.  

Hillary was a very unpopular candidate, so what does that make Bernie Sanders or the rest of the Democrats?

That whole BS with Brett Kavanaugh for starters. What bad choices did Trump make exactly?

Trump has a solid shot if he can kee PA but it's not as in the bag as you think it is. The race will still be very close.

On the other hand, he gave himself an estimated 15M a year tax cut as soon as he entered office, which largely outweights the 400K a year he would have earned as paycheck for being president.

Taxes are not long term. They increase and reduce. H e would have been better off long term just running his business than passing a tax plan that will probably be changed once Dems get enough power.

Yeah but in one year the cut is much larger than anything he earns as President in his entire tenure, even if he were to stay for the whole 8 years.

Also, his children are managing his company in the meanwhile by his orders, so it's not like he's exactly not not managing his company at all, either. And remember that he wanted to stay in Trump Tower instead of the White House, but that got shot down. He might be doing less, but since his heirs are managing in the meanwhile, his losses there are zip compared to if he did it himself.

In other words, the Tax cut is net winnings for him and not taking those peanuts a President earns was just good for publicity.

Popularity contests aren't transitive.  Just because Bernie lost to Hillary, doesn't absolutely mean that he would have lost to Trump.  He probably would have, but that's not a fact.  

You can break it down like this.  Say you have 20 voters.  11 of them like Bernie and would have voted for him, but for 6 of them, their first choice is Hillary, and Bernie is the first choice for the other 5.  4 of the voters that like Bernie do not like Hillary, and do not end up voting for her.  In the end Bernie would have gotten 11 votes if he made it all the way, whereas Hillary only got 7.  Yet when you pair them up, Hillary gets more of the first choice votes, so she's the one that ends up winning the primary.  

This works out even more, when you are comparing different groups.  You can certainly find people that voted for Trump, that would have preferred voting for Bernie.

Total BS believe someone who claims they were assaulted. 

Trade war for starters.  

Bernie couldn't win the Democrat candidacy because like most grown-ups they realize socialism is stupid and selfish. 

Sorry if you believe someone who decided 35 years later to claim assault, who can't even remember the key parts of what happened that day. Which just so happens to benefit the Democrats as it delayed the whole process. However, I guess that is just a coincidence for you.

Yep, and America is going to benefit from the trade wars. Because it turns out other countries depend on America a lot more than we depend on them. Other countries will break and stop pushing us around.

Bernie isn't a socialist.  Regardless of what he calls himself.  

There's a reason why other countries are passing us when it comes to healthcare.  It's not stupid to try making the improvements other countries have made.

Plenty of people go their whole lives without coming forward about assaults that happened to them.

Personally, I would find it more suspicious if she happened to remember everything 35 years later.  She didn't even bother to come up with a lie.  

Snoopy said:

Delaying the process doesn't benefit Democrats.  Not unless it could get delayed some 2+ years.

America is hurting because of the trade wars.  

We're selling less product and companies are spending more to import.  

Bolded: It would not be suspicious if she could remember everything, traumatic experiences sadly have a habit of being remembered very well even after so many years.

Thats my point. Why become President when he can make more by running his businesses. ven if you give a tax cut it will be undone when the other party comes into power.

Because he's the biggest idiot to take office. -_-

The real answer is: Because he didn't think he was going to win. Neither did anyone in his campaign and nearly every single voter, pundit, pollster, etc. etc. etc.  The election was "in the bag" for Hilary and everyone knew it, most especially Trump. All he wanted out of his run for President were big throngs of adoring crowds, media coverage, and non-stop attention to him and his ego. The plan was to lose the election, go back to his flagrant playboy lifestyle, and milk the "corrupt government stole the election from me" shtick on FoxNew, book deals, speaking engagements, etc. etc. for the next 4 years.

But his plan backfired: Oh SH*T!  He actually WON!!  (just look at his stunned and terrified expression during his 'victory' speech. The guy knew he was screwed)

I'm sure if he had to do it all over again he'd *much* prefer to have lost a close election and then milk the martyrdom angle for all it was worth.
