Ignored in this is that Trumps response was This is a question???? I come here and this is the first question??? Doesn't give a lot of support for the position, does it.

If this was true.
The media is screwed up big time. They have no journalistic integrity at all by misrepresenting.

Hell That would be considered as a defense. Even though he doesn't even have to acknowledge anything.

That's not entirely true. Yes Trump said that, but that's not all he said. Here's the actual video. Check out the 13 second mark.
https://www.facebook.com/HuffingtonPost/videos/10153373623171130/


Audience member: We have a problem in this country. Its called Muslims. You know our current president is one.

Trump. Right

Audience member: You know he's not even an American.

Trump: We need this question. This is the first question.

Was it
We need this question!
or
We need this question?
In watching this he seemed dismissive.
And as I said he is not my choice.

FR
Valid point about his tone with the last part. But still, he responded with "right" when the guy said Obama was a Muslim. So he may have seemed uninterested in pursuing the statements, but not until he first validated them.

To play the devils advocate he may well have just been acknowledging the guys position rather than agreeing with him.

Let me repeat Trump is, for me, behind not only the next three in the polls, but others as well.

I have trouble believing that Trump has gotten to where he has, with the business and negotiating experience that he has, by having the habit of making affirmative statements where affirmation is not intended. Seems to me that would be a serious liability for a businessman.

Now, considering that Trump himself has a well-documented history of questioning Obama's citizenship, it doesn't seem such a stretch that he would instinctively agree with a statement saying that Obama isn't a citizen.

Yes, you have stated that you don't support him. I think the phrase you used was 'loose cannon'. I agree entirely. I can only begin to imagine the potential consequences of him being involved in sensitive negotiations with foreign leaders, and him getting perturbed over something. Later he's in a press conference and pops off with an insulting remark about said leaders, offends them, tries to back pedal, accuse them of treating him unfairly, calls them all losers, threatens with the government equivalent of a libel lawsuit (his go-to maneuver), and we end up in WWIII.

Yes that's a bit over the top, but then so is Trump.

If this were an isolated incident, I would agree. But it is just one more of a long series on gaffes and off-the-cuff-remarks that have become a well-established pattern with him. If you ask me, he is bringing it all on himself.

Trump is the school yard bully who has never been challenged by someone bigger than him, and he's always been able to operate on his own turf in relative privacy. Now he is being watched by everyone else on the playground, and he's getting called out on his antics, even by people that used to be his friends. Now they are embarrassed to be friends with him. And he is getting his feelings hurt, stomping his foot in the dirt, and whining about people being unfair to him, all the while opening his mouth and consistently throwing impulsive remarks that show just how thick-headed he is.

While watching tv with me the other day, even my little human at home remarked about how juvenile Trump's behavior was, and how he sounded like the children whining about cheating when they were put out while playing foursquare. And he's still in elementary school.

I thought Trump did fantastically well with Colbert recently. I think he is working on himself to be more measured. Trump didn't reach to where he is today by not learning from his mistakes and adapting and making changes. When it comes to policies, he himself also say, and his the only one who says this. That whatever he says now, may not be the best solution WHEN he gets to office, because other information or factors might be revealed to him that will make him change his strategy on what is the best solution.

This man is a problem solver. Beneath all that childish name calling, his just really sensitive to people putting him down, but other than that, behind that, I feel is a man capable enough of finding solutions for problems of the nation.

But isn't his current behavior--unscripted, blunt, even boorish--the taproot of his appeal? Sand down the rough edges, and you'll wind up with just another professional vote-seeker.

I don't know man. He gets his feathers ruffled enough and he will share confidences, like private cell phone numbers. To the world. Let someone disagree with him on some issue that involves sensitive information, and I wouldn't put it past him to blurt something out out of spite and lack of self-control.

But anyone who does that should have to answer for it, party affiliation be damned.
