    Brilliant thinking there, Chuck.

      Where I have problems with Trump's behavior, is when he's away from the actual diplomacy and is just speaking to the US populace in general as their pretend TV president: He doesn't choose to talk about or endorse American values, he chooses to praise various dictators around the world, states that he wishes the US was more like their countries in many and various ways, says he wished US media praised him as much as NK state media praises Kim, gets excited about how Kim's able to kill generals he doesn't like, etc.
      Yes because we all know dictators live under a rock and don’t have access to the American media. Besides praising dictators was all the rage when Castro died or when Obama was making deals with them. Guess it’s only bad when Trump does it.

          Exactly, it's a nuance that Trumpsters are just not intelligent enough to recognize. Trump praises autocratic dictators not as a negotiating tactic, he praises them because at heart he is one himself.

                so why do you want him to take away guns and use his executive powers to overwrite congress on immigration?

                    Umm...

                    Because he's a duplicitous hypocrite who wants Trump to act like a dictator while screeching and squealing that Trump is a dictator?

                      That's another false narrative Sparko, pushed by the NRA and those Republican politicians who want to scare you into voting for them. Nobody is trying to take away your guns, what we're trying to do is to keep guns out of the hands of the irresponsible and the mentally ill by regulating the kinds of arms available as well as the sales of those arms. This is just another tiresome argument because we have, and have showed to you, the statistics in countries who have taken these actions, and as usual the data contradicts your argument. Not that the data ever matters to you people with your fixed and unchangeable beliefs.

                          Nope, you're just being your idiotic self and are striking out because you have no idea what you're talking about. Btw, Trump is a wannabe dictator, you're just to blind to see it, and I never argued that he should take your guns away. Do you see how stupid your comments are now rogue?

                            But if Trump is a dictator you should be advocating for more people to get guns. We need to protect ourselves from Trumpler.

                                Trump isn't a dictator yet, he is a wannabe dictator, and if that is what, like you, the American people in their ignorance vote for, then it isn't guns that the people need in order to defend themselves.
