There is no love there.
He is a bully and that is not a good thing as a politician, which we know he is not.
He is a businessman, and sees everything as a deal to be done for his (personal) benefit.
As I saw on a post from someone else, if you voted for Trump, I will forgive you,
but if now you defend him then you are a traitor, as his actions are indefensible.
The wife/husband-thing is always something I steer clear from if I can. People find other people
to love and spend their lives with and it's not for me to judge.
As you say, he is a bully and I know this might ruffle some feathers, but I think the world right
around now needs one! It's obvious to anyone who just glances at international politics, that
the men and women who are asked to represent countries are merely spouting bland statements
and enjoy a lifestyle that would rival a billionaire hotel-owner.
Even if the previous President set-up the job opportunities for the USA and Trump is now
bathing in the felicitations, it brings an up-beat feeling to the public that has really been needed
for some time.
Feeling nice without an income is one thing, but knowing that you're providing for ones family
by putting a day's graft in, smacks of an emotion that assists in such things as self-pride and
patriotism.
I'm not advocating a dictator or someone who will press that red button at the drop of a hat,
but I honestly believe a more aggressive attitude should be displayed in the forum of political
diplomacy. I think we can agree gravitas has never been on the shopping list for a long time.
In Europe, the EU Project is attempting to dilute individual cultures of regions and countries.
The non-elected bureaucrats that hold sway, show a contempt for those they rule over and in
my humble opinion, come from a weak, 'unmasculine' quality that many associate with royalty.
It is rarely said these days, but many countries around the world look to the United States for
a guidance and if the leader of the USA is too liberal or comes off as a game-show host, it's
reflected around the globe.
The current US media are testimony of that! Just look at the accusations they scream out!
If the President is a Russian puppet, then why is he still in office...?
If his entourage are colluding with horned-devils that do Putin's bidding, why haven't they
gone the way of Aldrich Ames?
Hillary Clinton is said to have used an secret email-server and sent classified information
through non-secured conduits, FBI...? just let it go.
Trump is alleged to have revealed secrets during an official White House visit from a Russian
Diplomat and yet, that seems to have faded away.
The ex-Director of the FBI is alleged to have evidence (even though I don't believe the FBI
should leak like a sieve the way it does).... that the President asked him to back-off a section
of an investigation. Yet... crickets.
These are terrible indictments that not only smear the Presidency, but hint that the USA is
incompetent at security and their political organisations are weak through avarice.
Yet, the media shout them everyday, like cat-calls from a rowdy game-show audience.
I cannot comment on whether a voter for a person is actually a traitor solely based on a
different opinion of a preferred candidate and as above offers, if his actions are 'indefensible'
the system in place seems reluctant to anything about it.
