Mods: why was previous thread on press conference deleted?

Donald Trump has always been one to ramble on and on. It is a good negotiating technique. To bore/ frustrate the potential buyer until he buys the product just to get the salesman to shut up.

He's the leader of the United States. He isn't trying to sell a timeshare. That's just an idiotic defense of the man.

His actions affect my life. His words don't. If he does what he campaigned on - which he has so far - then this country will be infinity better off.

Boasts, lies, wild accusations, low on substance, high on rhetoric, attacking of the press.
Since that (somehow) worked for him during the campaign, he's reverting to it.
He's still holding rallies for Pete's sake...
He is so vain he'd rather waste time and effort trying to win an imaginary popularity contest in his head than run the country.

In the latest news, for doing a 180° turn on his One-China pro Taiwan stance, he just, pure coincidence of course, got a favorable ruling on his brand name "Trump" in China, with most of his registered Brands coming up for renewal while in office. And with the PRC not having independent courts.....

Elected by the people of the US. He doesn't have to act or talk like you want him to. Don't like it? Beat him in the election in 2020.
BTW The presser was Biblical.

And what Trump has done is willfully engage in a full fledged attack on objective reality. It's allowed people to think that Hillary's emails were a scandal worthy of prison time, despite the fact that Trump's administration is using private servers hosted by the RNC (the same private email system that George W. Bush's administration used) to conduct business to work around the requirement for data retention. So very convenient.

Nein. Elected by a minority, using arcane anti-Democratic laws to gain an advantage over the majority. So, with that caveat, yes, he was elected - only because the American system of elections does not result in the 'winner' of the majority taking the office of the Presidency.

Attacking constitutional procedure for your loss is like blaming the grass for losing in football.
