      What is truly sad is that anyone can actually think he is 'just kidding'. There is way to much truth to it in fact.

      And so far, he has good reason to believe his base will buy it. Just look at how you guys are willing to accept it, excuse it.

      Like I said in the first post: it just gets weirder and weirder.

      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

        Criticism is not insult or attack. No one here is "piling on" you. I'm calling you on your perception of what people say to you. Until that gets straightened out....

            I don't think he is "just kidding" - I think he's purposely being a pompous ass because it's so easy to rile up his enemies.

              This, quite independently of anything else you've said, is clear evidence of TDS. My statement is intended to be an observation, not criticism or attack. I am afraid that unfounded opinions like yours could result in people ignoring warning signs if Trump really does go off the deep end; when people cry 'wolf' long enough and loud enough at nothing in particular, actual wolves are in danger of being dismissed as more of the same.

                Trump is one of those political geniuses, who says things that can be interpreted in multiple ways. It can be used to appeal to a wide range of people, to woo voters. Alternatively, or usually simultaneously, given your predisposition to think the worst of him, he uses it to troll his enemies.

                It's psychological warfare, and despite being funny he obviously takes it seriously.

                You can stop hating Trump if you want to. But you are choosing to let him play you like a violin. Which makes you hate him even more. But I think that's what you really want now, you like hating him now.

                    Trump supporters have been ignoring the warning signs for a long time and continue to do so.

                    And no, it is not evidence of 'TDS' - a wholly imagined affliction.

                    Tossing around an imagined 3 letter acronym as an excuse to dismiss other people's comments you don't like is just an indication of how weak your arguments against the points made are. So its just pubescent name calling as far as I'm concerned. Step up to the challenge and make a valid argument or show yourselves incapable of making a case for your position.

                      Hatred is not what my concern is about demi. Trump is creating chaos in the world, day in and day out. And that is not a good thing. And I am each day amazed at how many people are willing to accept that as a reasonable cost to pay for getting a few scraps from the political table.

                            Abortion is still quite legal. SCOTUS is important, but then again, so is our ability to maintain a strong Europe/US alliance, especially as China grows in power and wealth.

                              Did you or did you not in the post previous use the imagined 'affliction' described by the 3 letter acronym 'TDS' to explain my opinion, dismissing its content in the process?

                                What an incredibly heartless response.

                                It is an extremely hot issue with the liberals pushing for ZERO restrictions. It's a battleground, on whose side Hillary would have pushed a very active pro-abortion campaign.
