For Donald Trump, the latest recurring question around his candidacy—incited by the liberal left and parroted by even some Republicans—is whether he has the right temperament to be Commander in Chief.
With Trump, what you see is what you get. Through the course of the campaign, that’s been one of his greatest attributes and it explains why so many Americans, tired of politics as usual, are rallying behind him.
What is so hard for Trump’s detractors to grasp is that what they don’t like about Donald Trump has nothing to do with temperament—he’s got it. He’s proved over the course of his highly successful business career that he’s got all the right qualities as a leader and a visionary.
What they really don’t like is his style—and they’re purposefully conflating the two.

In Presidential contests, character and temperament have always been issues of intrigue. This campaign is no different. President George W. Bush experienced it, so did President Obama. Trump is facing attacks of his own, in this case regarding his temperament, but those launching the attacks, to include some Republicans, really just take issue with him personally. Why not be truthful and say, “I just don’t like the guy.”
Trump has charisma and backbone. He’s got a world view that is consistent with reality. And he’s worked and excelled in a competitive industry for his entire adult life.
Like it or not, Trump has the right temperament to be President.

With age is supposed to come “wisdom”. Would that it did.
People need to turn off that idiot box, search out alternate
news sources and GET FREE OF THE PHONY MSM.
Maybe we will have a “woman President” some day; just NOT
Hillary Clinton.
Trump is step #1 toward getting our country out of the hands of the oligarchs. If we fail to take that first step there will not be a second one.
Thank you very much. I think we need the military types running, like Dan bong in in Florida. I think Pence would make a great president.
My pleasure — and I agree with you about more military running. In fact, I think some form of military service would be a good idea for anyone running for president; since they’re the Commander in Chief, it would be nice if they were familiar with the entity they were commanding.
Great point, great point!
Just logical ;-)
I know the mom said she went out on her own, but DT blew that one according to what I saw on the video.
Sure. See, what Trump needs is a temperament best demonstrated by throwing ashtrays at his spouse, cursing and belittling SS agents, stealing White House silverware, referring to rape victims as trailer trash. You know the kind of temperament I’m talking about.
You’ve got that right.
Hey hey. Thanks, been awhile since I had a Hunter Ping
