How many lawyers lost to Trump in 2016?

Hillary Clinton - lawyer
Ted Cruz - lawyer

I won’t bother figuring out how many of the other candidates were lawyers - but you get my point...

This condescending and patronizing “concern” for Trump has been at the core of #NeverTrumpism from the beginning and has been a complete embarrassment for anyone advancing it.

Trump does not need to be supervised by people with a fraction of his political acumen.

Donald Trump could write books about winning (oh wait, he already has - and these fools who think he needs to be managed would do well to read them).

In case I wasn’t clear; I vote “No, let Trump be Trump”.

I want to see him body slam some reporters, smack some upside their heads.

So many of them deserve it; male and female. In a more enlightened but less civil world it would be taking place in one way or another. I'm not a fan of person to person violence either but these people have crossed the line over and over again and will do it a lot more times.

“...screen them only for possible legal jeopardy ... let 99.9% through...”

Yes - this was my first thought as well when I saw the poll.

This is exactly how the tweets should be handled - and the President should only have lawyers around who “get” him and his tweet strategy, which they should if they are any good. Jay Sekulow (sp.?) comes to mind, perhaps.

It never hurts to have someone double check.

Yes, sometimes. He needs to know when to comment and when to refrain. Some of his comments have been high school pettiness.

He needs to use discretion. The media, courts are going to keep everything he says on twitter and use it against him and the GOP and Trump supporters. Quit giving them the ammo to do so.

Speak softly and carry a big stick in other words.

His EO on 120 day moratorium on Visa’s from Muslim countries has been turned over due to his comments on campaign trail. Of course, the leftist courts used this as a reason to over turn, not right constitutionally, but never the less they are using it. Now it goes to SC.

If he had just said moratorium on Visa’s so we can review our process, the leftist court couldn’t have used his words against him as a reason for denial.

So he’s 70? He had to have ‘changed habits’ at 60 if he began tweeting the day Twitter began.

I didn’t vote for lawyers; I voted for Donald Trump. And his over-riding important task is to drain the swamp. What would a drained swamp look like? Well, for one thing; all the lawyers would be gussied up like Hannibal Lector in between lawyer tasks. Can’t be too careful.

Should our President’s tweets be screened? Should the anti Trump and Americ words of obama be screened?

Trump should find another hobby
Maybe he should become a freeper
What goes on in freeperland stays in freeperland
Well
Sometimes

He needs to stop the retweets for sure because they often link back to a$$ holes like Richard Spencer
