Donald Trump: Acting 'Presidential' Is Easy
ABC ^ | 4/23/16 | INES DE LA CUETARA

Posted on 04/23/2016 6:57:02 PM PDT by markomalley

Trying to devalue the notion that he needs to start acting more "presidential," Republican front runner Donald Trump on Saturday pondered the meaning of the word at a campaign rally in Waterbury, Conn.

“I can do it," he told a crowd of more than 3,000 supporters. "You know what, I'm like a really smart person. Like a lot of you people. Presidential is easy."

To make his point, he stepped away from the podium and walked stiffly back to the mic and spoke mockingly in a dull, quiet tone. “Ladies and gentlemen of Waterbury, it’s a great honor to be with you this morning,” he said to laughs and cheers from the crowd.

“Although most presidents don’t work in the morning, you know that, right?," he added, reverting back to his normal voice. "No, it's very easy to be presidential."

Waterbury is a pretty gritty place. Relating to the audience there shows he can get folks involved in turning things around for the US.

Voters are seeing and hearing a real candidate who talks to them NOT through them like most politicians do.

I think ‘acting presidential’ is the natural state of Trump.

Most of what we’ve seen thus far is not his normal way of conducting business.

He has a point the last few decades. That was the hallmark of Bush too. Decorum above everything. Ive had enough fakery from these SOBs.

Correct. This video shows is a side of Trump that few have seen other than those who have bothered to do a little research on how Trump became a billionaire and international business tycoon.

I found this video informative and actually somewhat entertaining seeing how, even as a young man, he built his company. Please watch.

“Now you know damn well that’s not what he’s calling for.....”

Trump advocated the easy accessibility of a man to use a woman’s restroom.

That makes it not just permissible, but a new ‘right’ for that person to be there.

Why in the world would any sane moral person advocate that a strange man should be able to freely use the same bathroom that my 8 year old daughter uses?

Nope, he advocates exactly that.

Just hit ‘em, never debate anything.

You must be a Trump troll, low on facts and high on insults.

“doldrumsforgop

Since Dec 13, 2015”

You must have recently joined FR, just to try to spread propaganda against Trump.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Donald Trump will do well so long as he doesn't apologize for telling the truth.

However, he should not have sided with the perverts on the bathroom issue.
