I never said he made a “presidential” statement.

However, what is germane, is whether or not a sitting president has a NEED to make a PUBLIC comment on everything under the sun that happens.

It is not a matter of whether or not a president has a “right” to comment PUBLICLY on ANYTHING, but whether they have a NEED to. They don’t.

And some think, rightly I believe, as the only “head of state” (the ‘ceremonial’ public face of the state) it detracts from the role as “head of government” for presidents to do so.

Trump is free to do what he wants, for sure. That does not mean that everyone, even many of his supporters, like myself, always must agree with everything he does.

I will always support Trump in many ways. That does not mean I will or I have to always agree with everything he does. Like Trump I have an independent mind and I speak it. If it offends you, too bad.
