Blame the people that ran Hillary against him

Blaming OTHERs for one's OWN actions is Hoe Shit

Electing Donald Trump (of all people) as President of the United States to ... "spite" ... another person is the DUMBEST shit I have ever heard of

That fact that you defend and condone such idiocy speaks volumes about you

I didn't vote Trump.

Defending ppl right to fairly vote as they have the freedom is not the same as defending or agreeing with their vote. Y'all want the easy way out, but it just go to show the depths lack of y'all ability of critical thinking.

Of course they have the right to vote for who they want.

That's called Democracy.

I also have the right to place Americans who voted for Donald Trump in one of three categories -

- Stupid

- Bigoted

- Political to a Fault

That's called honesty.

Im damn sure not going to blame the Democratic Party for the terrible judgment of those people.

They didn't "make them" do anything ...

I got nothing against the above. I'm just saying blaming the voters either way I think is a bit naive.

Military options on North Korea

Cot damn.....Seoul is close as hell to NK, didn't know that....NK probably has all kinds of tunnels, booby traps, etc that they started building since the Korean War during the 50's....this can get really ugly

Not to mention all the convential artillery that the North has pointed at Seoul that could kill tens of thousands.

It's gonna be a shit show regardless.

Trump is a business man. That's why he sees "tourism skyrocketing". He sees money. He's thinking 9/11 tourism. He's an idiot.

I dont give a fuck what Trump says.. some people just are conditioned to yearn for pacification .. We knew who he was 30 plus years ago.. America elected a racist..

Im also tired of media types quoting 30% of his base are still with him.. its bullshit. arbitrary and dishonest.. Id venture to say its a lot higher than 30%

Trump ‘Seriously Considering’ Pardoning Criminal ‘Sheriff Joe’ Arpaio

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he was considering pardoning former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of criminal contempt of court in July.

“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday in an interview from his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot and I hate to see what has happened to him.”

“Is there anyone in local law enforcement who has done more to crack down on illegal immigration than Sheriff Joe?” Trump added. “He has protected people from crimes and saved lives. He doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.”

Arpaio, who lost a re-election bid after 24 years in office last November, was convicted on July 31 of criminal contempt of court for refusing to follow a judges’ orders to stop his practice of racially profiling individuals for traffic stops and detention who law enforcement officials believed could be undocumented immigrants.

Arpaio said last week that he was “not going to ask him,” about a pardon, referring to Trump, but that “many, many people around the country are saying, ‘Trump should pardon.’”

Responding to Trump’s statement, Arpaio told Fox News: “I am happy he understands the case,” and “I would accept the pardon because I am 100 percent not guilty.”

Apraio was an early and fervent supporter of the President during the 2016 campaign. Trump referred to him as “Sheriff Joe.” The former sheriff has also gained infamy for what were widely viewed as inhumane detention practices.

His Democratic successor, Sheriff Paul Penzone, pledged to close the “Tent City” jail, in which Arpaio housed inmates outdoors in the scorching Arizona heat.
