I like a lot of what he has done but I cant argue your point 

You like a whole boatload of nothing? Cause that's what he's accomplished so far. Aside from his banning Muslims from certain countries from the US, what else has he done? Healthcare reform? Nope! Tax reform? Nope! Border wall? Nope! And his party has control of the house.

 

So much winning!

While a growing majority of Americans disapprove of how Trump acts, and find him embarrassing, specifically his sophmoric Tweets, you have hit the nail on the head. His persona is all Trump has, he isn't a self-made man, and his only consistent politics are two-fold:

 

1) Look at me, I am so fantastic! Love me!

 

2) That (insert any opponent or non-supplicant here) (insert juvenile, mean spirited nonsense here!)

 

#1 is all for his narcisistic self and his ever gullible base.

 

#2 is how everyone else is treated and is 'dealt with.'

You could say this about every politician, Trump just does it differently.  Heck, Hillary has a book coming out (see the thread about it) with a lot more "I am still relevant", "I am still here", and "It wasn't my fault" narcissism in it.

I wonder where all the lefts personality attachment is to this..

Moldy sour grapes (Trump) compared to a fine and rare wine (Obama) there is no comparison between the two. I am hardly "reeled in" by Trumps carnival huckster, bully act.

So Obama and Hillary are much more refined and "elite".  I can do with those elitist.  One thing Trump gets no credit for is that he actually talks to other world leaders on an equal basis and does not talk down to them or lectures them like Obama did.  Heck the current MDL Rock Star Justin Trudeau came out and said that.  Of course, he didn't mention Obama by name, but it was easy to figure out.

Not every politician is occupying the WH at the moment. Trump should act presidential, if he aspires to be treated like one. As it stands, he has no respected from any world leader, and he is seen as something that must be endured and suffered until the US elects a real president again. 

 

So, yes, the bar is much higher when you're in the Oval.

Remember under the previous administration when this was seen as a major scandal? That Fox News would talk about for days about how this guy was disrespecting the job of the POTUS because he had his feet on the desk.

 

 

Big difference. Obama was not Trump, and we all know what the REAL issue about Obama being in the White House was with the MDR/MORs.

It was a generalization regarding narcissism which applies to every politician not just the one in the WH.  As to world leaders respecting him, Justin Tredeau had some respectful things to say about him.

That's because being presidential is easy

If only there wasn't an age minimum, otherwise we could have 6 year olds run for President and exhibit similar behaviors. A decent number of children can run twitter and write about as well as Trump. Maybe not 6, but definitely 10 year olds.

I see you received the brochure from Trump. I heard the swamp comes with a bridge. How many acres did you buy? And yes, you did make my point. It's appreciated.

But it's all the more relevant to the one in the White House, because he's supposed to represent the American people, and at that, Trump fails miserably.

Yes, but according to many here, he really isn't the president, so who cares.
