No. Because his tweet fetish is childish. Although a sane person could argue that it's no more childish than the vitriol it generates from the left.
And Yes.
Because I actually think that some of the ideas he brings would be good for our country. If only we could attend to the issues rather than constantly addressing all the BS surrounding everyone's emotions.
And I blame both sides for that.
And most importantly: We will survive this. But only if we don't continue the spiteful hatred aimed towards our President.
A nuanced answer. But no less ambiguous than mine or anyone else's.
Because it's a complicated (not a simple question): do you support the sitting potus?
I'm confident that we'll survive this regardless of whether or not the spiteful hatred continues or ends. I hope you're objective enough to recognize that Trump is enjoying this sideshow reality TV bs. Additionally 'he started it' and perpetuates it. Worst of all, he doesn't care about the repercussions. But I do, damn it. The damage Trump is doing will take a very long time to fix.
If it can be fixed.
I'm exhausted from his daily change-of-mind-moods. He's not. But our allies are. As are 70% of Americans. At a white-tie Gridiron dinner last night Trump joked (?) ‘I like chaos’. Ya think?
It's not the media's doing. It's his character and lack of focus and intellectual curiosity. He's clueless. A large reason why he appeals to much of his base. Ignorance loves company.
So no. I wouldn't feel the need to defend our president to anyone. Anywhere. Ever.
