Well, I've been known to change my mind sometimes. I don't mind if the President does the same. Trump certainly isn't perfect, but if the worst thing he does as president is fib/ change his mind about flying from Washington DC to sunny warm West Palm Beach on winter weekends, I'll be a very relieved and happy conservative.

FWIW, I'm NOT a Trump supporter; have never liked the man......only voted for him in November as the lesser of two evils (I totally despise Hillary Clinton). So far, Trump has done better than I expected. Am praying this trend continues.

But when you have complained about the costs of Obama's vacations, then begin on a record pace, it's a problem.

Also, he made it a specific point that he would be working tirelessly for the people.

I believe presidents need breaks. I just don't think they should be taking them after saying they wouldn't.

Also, his handling of situations (NK missile firing) while on vacation is appalling.

Taxpayers should not be paying for Trump's ego stroking rallies and excessive trips to Florida, nor should we be paying for Melania and Baron to stay in Trump Tower.

These rallies are pointless now. The Fox app sent a notification yesterday that they would be showing his Florida campaign rally live. What was he campaigning for 2020 re-election already??

A lot of times presidents do it when they are trying to drum up support for something that is important to them. Bush did it with Iraq. Obama did it with healthcare. Now trump is doing it for whatever the hell it is he is doing.

If Trump's presidency survives 4 years will he automatically become the Republican nominee for the 2020 election? Does the party ever challenge a sitting president with other candidates in a presidential election year?

Pretty uncalled for, considering you haven't added anything to the discussion at all.

I'm claiming trump is unfit and posting evidence. You are insulting people.

I thought it was pretty clever. Trump is fit to be president. He has hired very good people in my opinion. He is doing what he said he was going to do. I know that is unheard of in politics (especially Washington, D. C. politics). He has not perfected the political language because he has not been a politician his entire adult life unlike most of the folks in D.C. Just give the man a chance!

Trumps 'language' is what got him elected. At least, partially the reason. He's not going to change. "Let Trump be Trump" all that jazz. Nope. We're stuck with petulance for the next four years. An element of society thinks it's cool to constantly belittle and insult. "Little Marco and Lyin' Ted" was applauded lest we forget. I had hoped the presidency would humble him. I'm not seeing humility. I'm seeing a man who doesn't know how to be firm without being a complete jackass.

Just gonna leave this here. Sweden has been declared the "rape capital of the West." Some researchers connect it to Middle Eastern immigration.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...er-of-sexual-assaults-in-europe-a6800901.html

Last year, the Gatestone Institute named Sweden the “rape capital of the west”, based on data collected in 2010, which put it only behind Lesotho in southern Africa in terms of occurrence of rape.

According to the Institute, the fact that “in 1975 the Swedish parliament unanimously decided to change the former homogenous Sweden into a multicultural county” was of relevance when discussing why the number of rapes had increased.

It said: “Over the past 10 to 15 years, immigrants have mainly come [into Sweden] from Muslim countries such as Iraq, Syria and Somalia. Might this influx explain Sweden’s rape explosion?

“It is difficult to give a precise answer, because Swedish law forbids registration based on people’s ancestry or religion.

“One possible explanation is that, on average, people from the Middle East have a vastly different view of women and sex than Scandinavians have.

“And despite the attempts by the Swedish establishment to convince that everyone setting foot on Swedish soil becomes exactly like those who have lived here for dozens of generations, facts point in an altogether different direction.”

Trump may be unfit, but he's still much better IMO than the slimy unfit liberal traitor he suceeded January 20th. Obama couldn't even bring himself to say extremist Islamic or blame them for terror attacks on US soil.

Trump may have not perfected the political language but he has the petulant child language down pat

Yes unfortunately, and it's quite embarrassing. He really needs to grow up and start behaving like a statesman instead of a spoiled brat.
