          However, his description of a tyrant is reasonably accurate along credible academic lines.
          Trying to apply those definitions to Trump - with yet another "is accused of doing" in one of the references.
          If I were to apply the "is accused of" criterion with equal validity, I'd be declaring Trump as obviously a saint.

            It doesnt seen a temper tantrum to me at all. Trump has these characteristics. He is pushing against the separation of powers in ways seldom seen, and so far has succeeded in rendering them powerless to constrain him. Your assumption he has no larger goal is naive, and betrayed by the history of personalities like Trumps who attain real power.

            My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

            If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

            This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

              That is perhaps the least surprising statement you could have made.

                Do you suppose my goal is to be suprising?

                      More "sources say" fake news.

                      President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied the veracity of an anonymously sourced reporthttps://www.breitbart.com/national-s...o-middle-east/

                      • When Trump denies something, it means you can bank on it, the thing that is, not Trump.

                        I’ve just finished listening to ten chapters of the podcast ‘Caliphate’ by NY Times reporter Rukmini Callimachi. It’s about a year old now but what a story.

                          • I suppose you’ve noticed that Trump doesn’t know HOW to tell the truth, or maybe that he is genetically incapable.

                            • Oddly enough, he managed to keep many of his campaign promises!

                              And, did I mention.... Hillary is not POTUS, and SCOTUS is not Hillary's!
                              The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                                I've noticed that many liberals claim this. I assume it's projection.
