Why Donald Trump Won't Change
CNN ^ | nov 29, 2016 | Steven Collinson

Posted on 11/29/2016 9:48:42 PM PST by b4me

Winning the presidency didn't change Donald Trump -- and it's increasingly clear that actually being president won't change him either. (snip)

"Campaigning is different from governing. I think he recognizes that," Obama said in a pre-Thanksgiving press conference. "I think what will happen with the President-elect is there are going to be certain elements of his temperament that will not serve him well unless he recognizes them and corrects them." (snip)

"Transitions are important for a number of reasons," said Burke. "One of the reasons is to reintroduce the person not as a political candidate but as a president-elect — a recasting of how both the public and Congress perceive this president."(snip)

There's some good chuckles in this article if you have similar views as Trump. I don't know why people expect him to change? Obama clearly did not really change, sure he brushed up a little n the edges but still very much about him self and his wonderfulness.

I also had the thought when they mention "show him to be the same, mercurial, sometimes thin-skinned, gregarious, truth-challenged, media taunting and unpredictable figure who won a stunning election upset."

Reminded me of some one I dated who told me that talking with me was like talking with 3 or 4 people at once. I too am Gemini like Trump.

I would think all the Astrology - new age folks would be viewing Trump from the perspective he is born under the sign of twins. Very easy to look at things from more than one angle.

Why would he change? What’s more funny is the that the left thinks he NEEDS to change.

DJT has been been running his organization for many, many years.

Who is this WRITER (iow - a TALKER - not a DOER) from CCN to say how DJT needs to “change” to be a successful POTUS?

Yes! not only is it not giving full/proper story to the public, but some times I want to shout “you lie” but have to refrain since so many people around LOL

Yup! to me results are more important than how some one looks or acts, speaks.

To the left/liberals it seems more about appearance and “proper etiquette” which BO &MO showed a lack of anyway.

Obama has been changed by the Presidency. I’ve never heard any reports that he visited Man’s Country after 2008.

Hopefully, he doesn’t change very much.
What you see, should be what you get.

I prefer to view Trump through the lens of patriotism. He was born on June 14th - Flag Day.

Gag me. The thought of this loser lecturing ANYONE about “correcting” anything is disgusting.

B. Hussein Obama: "I think what will happen with the President-elect is there are going to be certain elements of his temperament that will not serve him well unless he recognizes them and corrects them."

That statement is proof positive that Obama utterly lacks the ability of self reflection or introspection.

As a malignant narcissist, he loves admiring himself in the mirror, but only sees what he wants to see, which is a glorified caricature of the real man before him.

His sense of irony is completely absent, as it's obvious to everyone but him, that he's just described himself.

As one who is exactly 1 year and 1 day younger than Trump and thus a Gemini, I do think so much like him.

CNN is the reason Trump said the airports are third world.

Trump Thanksgiving Message: "... Because when America is unified, there is nothing beyond our reach, and I mean absolutely nothing.”

Genesis 11:6
And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Repent Trump!

I do too. It was the first thing that gave me a hope he would win. May sound crazy but his birth on Flag day was luck a lucky rabbit foot about the election in my mind.

I was just suggesting it’s a way some on the left could more easily shift their mindset to try to understand Trump if they viewed him thru his astrological characteristics which makes more clear why he does some things as he does.

Yea! a fellow Gemini. I’m a week and a few decades younger, but I see it as God does allow people born when certain things in the universe are in certain places to have similar characteristics.

I no longer follow astrology like I once did but it’s interesting to see similarities in some people born at same time of year. Just as birth order of siblings can some times show similarities when you look at a bunch of families.
