How do you feel about having a president with such a thin skin?

Everything is a personal attack. No comment can be ignored.
Is this the kind of person you want in charge of international relations?

Because having a thick skin worked so well for GWB.

what?

GWB never answered his critics and so he became vilified in the press and popular opinion.

@hippyjoe1955:

lol g dubbya was an idiot and everyone knew it. He got vilified because he was an idiot and everyone knew it.

It was not because he wasn't compelled to get the best of any opponent who dared criticize or oppose him

I suspect that for you everyone who isn't a flaming liberal is 'an idiot'. The fact is that GWB was very highly regarded for his handling of 911 then completely blew it by never answering his critics. Don't get me wrong I was never a GWB fan. I am just making the observation. I respect a president that fights back than one that becomes a door mat.

@hippyjoe1955:

You can suspect whatever convenient label that pleases you.😝
But there's a difference between "fighting back" against legitimate criticism and personally attacking people who disagree with you. As i pointed out elsewhere, doormat and petty, thin-skinned narcissist are NOT the only options lol
@hippyjoe1955: Obama just wasn't just a doormat, he was also a big pussy.

@UnparalleledMonster: No the fact is if you don't stand for anything you fall for everything. Trump like all presidents before him need to defend themselves.

@hippyjoe1955:

lol hey, there's that false dichotomy that you ball-garggling trump groupies are so fond of.
As if the only options are a) Trump: a man who can't take any personal comment or opposing political position without stamping his feet and hurling personal insults or b) a complete doormat

You DO understand how stupid that position is, yes?
Or do you really think the alternative to a president who gets in fights on social media over every little slight is a doormat pussy?

Go on, i want to hear you say it...

@UnparalleledMonster: I do understand that the media and many fringe democrats are sworn enemies and should Trump not respond they will take it as admission of guilt. In a more civilized political environment Trump would not have to respond the way he does but that is not the case in the US and the world right now. Good on Trump for giving back what the 'libeals' want to dish out. The fact is Trump is using liberal tactics on the liberals and the liberals don't like it. From memory a Bush supporter was vilified for using the word 'niggardly' by the rabid liberals. How dare anyone use that word. Well guess what the word is Scandinavian in origin and in the context it was used was proper English. If the media and liberals can censure one and all with their hysteria then Trump needs to respond in kind.

@hippyjoe1955:

lol riiight. Being compelled to respond on a personal level to every criticism and challenge is just trump using evil liberal tactics.
Not at all a product of entitled narcissism.

Keep garggling those balls, son.
Hahahaha!😂😝
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
If the media can't take it then don't dish it out. Have you even seen some of the crap they are pumping out? Go for it Trump.

@hippyjoe1955:

lol i see this is going over your head.
Better luck next time
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@UnparalleledMonster: Sorry son. I've already lapped you twice and am about to do it again. You are not ahead.
