I think that NBF should be named Person of the Year, "for frequent and continuous creative use of the English language."

i'm sure that trophy will fit in well with all of the "man of the year" trophies from various women.

I'm shocked but not surprised how easy it is for President Trump to troll the left.  He is a Twitter savant.  One tweet that goes against the group think talking points and they all lose their collective mind.  The hilarious part is that they still haven't figured out that he knows exactly what he is doing with each tweet. 

Yes very presidential. Remember when Republicans used to attack Bill Clinton for undermining the office of the Presidency.

He is very much a troll or he's actually mentally ill. Look at videos of him talking back in the 1990s or even in the 2000s hes articulate, calm and composed. Now look at him, he's a loose cannon, impulsive and doesn't think before he acts.

Well there is the whole "The police acted stupidly comment" which had the impact of immediately denigrating the actions of the police officer on duty and of course Obama did not have all the facts and had to back up and hold the Beer Summit.  As to Zimmerman, it may have been indirect, but it was still an attack without knowing the facts.  As to Ferguson, we all know how the president took sides and immediately dispatched his AG to go and venerate the perpetrator of a crime.  Obama's method tended to be more indirect, but it doesn't change the fact that it is the same thing in many of the viewing publics opinion's.

 

Style differences only matters to some and in my opinion is a horrible method to use for electing a president.  If Trump is actually able to accomplish something that improves the economy (using the GDP growth as the measure) greater than 3%, then I could not care less about his style because as many politicians will tell you, it is all about the economy.

Style is important for President because, at its core, the President is a representative. He is a symbol. He isn't a legislator. He is meant to bring people together, to be a leader of everyone. He isn't meant to be divisive. 

 

I admit I don't necessarily remember what Obama said for each of the 3 examples you gave. Rereading his comments surrounding Trayvon and Zimmerman I see absolutely zero comparison to the stuff Trump spews out. He expressed sadness, he said an investigation needs to be done, and commenting on relating to the victim's family. Nothing wrong with any of that.

 

Granted this article is old, but I'd challenge you or anyone to find this many examples in 8 years of any prior President, Republican or Democrat.

He's sick. His behavior shows it.

Kinda sucks when someone uses your own techniques to fight back against you, eh?

And yet he was allowed to continue to do it and now times have changed.  At least he isn't going out on apology tours.

I don't disagree, but I think there is too much emphasis put on Trump's political style.  If you compare it to the last president, sure Obama was apologetic for the perceived transgressions of the US and several times drew some mythical lines in the sand for various things that he never backed up.  This is how a US president loses respect on the world stage.  So far Trump has backed up his words, and as offensive as some find his style, there are a lot of people (particularly world leaders) that are fine with it.

You mistake disdain for respect.
