Gonna be interesting if any disaster hits California in the next 4-8 years, how quickly all the little anti-Trump secessionist snowflakes will start screaming for federal aid.
Is not he the president of all Americans?? That includes those that did not vote for him. He could be a lot more gracious to the areas that did NOT vote for him. It would be the mature and responsible thing to do. But sadly maturity is not his strong suit.Nor is objectivity. The divisions in the US are so intense now..that not sure how the country can be unified again. Sadly.the only things or events that "unify' the american s are national disasters. what is wrong with that picture??

Trump is proving to be a national and a natural disaster.

California is an on-going disaster, Jin and that's without any earthquakes. If it isn't forest fires eating everything in their path year after year due to the ongoing drought. It is a lack of water also due to drought. When it does rain which is rarely, it comes hard and causes mudslides and landslides that buckle highways.

Funny how when Rick Perry and others in Texa.s.s. threatened secession over Obama's legitimate win none of the delusional far right objected.


That's because most right wingers never bother to look in a mirror when they make their ridiculous comments.

Uh, no he is not my President. I am a Canadian. We have a PM. Mexico also has a President. There is no President of all the Americas. He does have the duty of care for all Americans though - even those who did not vote for him. There are also a few mil who didn't vote for either of the candidates.

So much for the great JFK speech of 'ask not what your country can do for you... ask what you can do for your country", does not cover refusal to pay taxes!

indeed. and this is only week one. Apparently he is going to do a phone conversation with Putin tomorrow. Will be interesting to see what the transcripts will be like an-dhow they compare.

It is kind of amusing to see various media outlets discussing the word LIE as it applies to Trump. He really has a problem with truth and FACTS.and prefers to make up his own .n his psychologically dysfunctional mind... the "facts" must favor him in a positive and flattering light. Gotta wonder when the population will realize that he has psych problems. It is beyond just your garden variety narcissism.

Claiming that the media is the "opposition" is just plain paranoid and delusional.. Heard several well versed people use the word "delusional" when speaking about Tr Trump today. so there are rational objective people observing this "the Donald goe to the White House " drama based on "alternate factoids"

and if this is only week one...

Just a few things here. One Clinton got more votes true but the electoral
college is the system the nation has and it voted differently. The college
has failed it is designed to ensure unstable people are not in power.
As for not paying taxes this is just silly. If they didn't pay taxes they would
have None of the programs they supposedly cherish and it would give
Trump the excuse to outright cancel them who thinks these ideas up?

Agree that encouraging people not to pay taxes is counterproductive. It would not be legal and if a group wants to make a significant statement.it is not to be busing illegal actions. The dems need to do some serious brainstorming about how they want to proceed. creative thinking is called for.

Some people should read a bit of Edmund Burke on democracy....
Voting by popularity is tantamount to mob rule...This is the main reason for the electoral college...
We all saw what populism does in the aftermath of the election.... a progressive mob....

Why would he go out of his way to help the ungrateful? It is a fact of political life that the bulk of government money goes to areas that support that government.
