There is a gap between words and language that I am struggling to bridge when I look at your posts, Crowley.

Basing one's pride on having a single figure representing you to the entire world in the most embarrassing manner possible seems pretty flimsy. I'd rather take pride in my own personal accomplishments and in being able to freely express my political belief's than blindly support someone I strongly oppose because a significant minority of the country in the right places said to.
The power of the United States President comes largely from convention, the bully pulpit and moral authority.
Donald Trump has made himself easily the weakest US President in in the post-War era. You might have to go back to the 19th century to find such a marginalized figure. He may be President ex-offico (for now). But foreign leaders do not seek him out, rarely speak to him, and mostly are planning around him. Angela Merkel is effectively leader of the free world until the US gets it shit together.
if you want to see an example of this, witness how Mattis and Pence were received in Europe, and Mattis in Asia, and compare it to how Trump was received in Europe. With Mattis and Pence they tried to forge a relationship. With Trump, they tried to make sure no permanent damage was done.
He's President, but an obstacle, not a partner. That's your "face to the world". There is a pretty-good chance the UK will retract its State Visit invitation should Trump do anything else completely fucking stupid.
He's not respected. He's not liked. And he has no authority of any kind. He may be President, but their position is, America endures DESPITE rather than because, of his "leadership".

Hahha actually it bothered me for a while how people on Twitter were linking pictures of things that it look like they needed Photoshop for... a complicated process of taking a full screen cap then clipping.
Not so! It's just the snipping tool + an upload site. I use it all the time now.
He's THE President. He is the legal holder of the office. For now. Some of us are actually working IRL to fix that mistake.
But "My" President? So if I use the word "my" it implies a kind of ownership... assent to Trump's agenda and words. I couldn't find the man more detestable if he he took a shit infront of the Lincoln Memorial in public. Since I don't approve of his policies, or hold him in anything other than contempt, how can he be "my"? He's not. I feel nothing but malice towards him and want to see him removed from office and fight a legal battle for the rest of his crap life. He holds no special place in my heart.
Donald Trump is the President of the United States. He is the President. He is no my President. He is my enemy. He the incarnation of everything ugly and hateful in America. And from the law, justice will be done upon him.
Look man we're going through a moment. You never ate like, really bad food? Yeah it completely sucked as it was passing through your system and what you shat into the bowl was probably real gross.
You're witnessing the world's only superpower going through that. Hold your nose.
They come back like comic villains. And have about as much substance.

Well, he IS a paid Trump apologist.

Oh, but there IS a difference. One that is rooted in immutable facts.
Napoleon, Shaka Zulu, Alexander the Great, Ramses II and George Washington all lead civilisations in Sid Meier's Civilization (or one of the sequels). Lee never did.

Adding to my previous comment: they are also on that list.

White is nice, but you have to take awful care not to get it soiled.

... and that is extra nice because then those of us with social media banned in the office can still see it.

Factually false. You are wrong by about 3 million votes.
The super Trumpers are an extreme, and extremes, good or bad, are rare.
After Trump announced his failure with the business council, super Trumpers didn't even bother to adress the topic, they thanked him for calling out BLM and Antifa. Even if the US is going through a confused Travolta phase, the loonies are a fringe group.
It appears so threatening, because they talk outlandish nonsense, but as math dictates, most people are average. Average at knitting, average at driving and average in their political opinions.
Trump, his dumb mouth and stubby fingers have done nothing, but convince the average person (and bigwigs in business, politics and maybe even Rupert Murdoch) that he is not their man, so don't worry about the loonies.

The way he talked to the press during that news conference, was also low
He wouldn't take it, if the media talked to him. The way he does to them
He's gone from being a joke, to being a psychopathic racist bigot, who regularly shows his colours
If ever a person on this planet, could be capable of causing world war three, it's him
I don't condone violence, but I'm genuinely surprised he hasn't been taken out by now

This is actually a good example, Trump had no dirt on him so the left had to photoshop some on him to fool others into believing it.
