It makes you wonder how much more it will take for the 33% to figure out that Rex Tillerson was right.

Funny words coming from crooked Trump. Maybe it takes one to know one. LOL.

Only the fake indians are offended. The real indians know Pochahauntass just used her "high cheekbones" to claim she is an indian.  

 

A DNA test would reveal this. No wonder she won't take one.

     I've talked to several people who regret voting for him.  He seems to pick a new group every day to alienate, and this one defies logic. He gains nothing by insulting Warren, and he comes off as a bigot once again. 

 

     Obviously, there are people who voted for him who support this kind of behavior, but there are some who are embarrassed by it. Like all demagogues, give 'em enough rope and they'll eventually hang themselves with it.

He has to pander to what's left of his base. Dwindling numbers. He's desperate for approval from his adorants, so he goes deeper into the insanity.

Sounds exactly like the nonsense I heard everyday….BEFORE the election.  Don't worry….I expect to hear this for the next 7 years.

Even FAUX News could only muster a 33% approval rating for Trump in their latest poll.  He's by far the lowest-rated president at this point in their term, and his approval rating is shrinking.  Don't hold your breath for seven more years.  He'll be lucky if he lasts seven more months, which should be enough time for him to lash out at the few remaining people he hasn't already insulted.

     Listening to Trump every day, you're bound to hear a lot of nonsense. And sure, if he's around for seven years,  I expect you would hear a lot more. Most people set their standards a bit higher than that though.

My father has been a rock-ribbed republican all of his life.  He nearly came unglued when he found out that my mother voted for Bill Clinton.  However, my father didn't vote for Trump. 

 

I quote my father: "Trump is an egotistical jerk."  

 

'Nuff said.

    The alt-right loonies talk about 7 more years and I expect that part of his base would follow Trump off the cliff if it came to that. Buyers remorse will affect others to varying degree's. We already seen people jumping ship at every level.
