These threads are off-putting. I agree with you and Tucker that Trump’s braggadocio is unpleasant and facepalm inducing. I also agree with the posters who say that this is part of Trump and he is too old to change his personality at this point. Even if it hurts his goals.
But it is a bit nauseating to see all the FReepers who worship the President to such an extent that they can’t recognize any faults at all.
Part of Trump’s ego, his confidence to dare to try, is what makes him heroic in trying to save our constitution/country. But his bragging and sensitivity to insult is not worth defending.
A difference of opinion doth not a sycophant make.
Maybe as a New Yorker I just see it as part of his shtick, a little showmanship or patter. Basically irrelevant but necessary because mo one else is telling the truth about his accomplishments and people need to know.
I follow no one blindly but this is not the issue that where I diverge from POTUS. He is not conservative enough for me in some areas and more open to DACA than I. I am content to take the good with the parts I am not in complete agreement with like ethanol.

I totally agree. (Sometimes I tell my wife that this 72 year old would like to have fifteen minutes with DJT to attempt to persuade him to "cool it" just a little.
He wants to win in 2020. I don't think he can if he doesn't (see post # 1.)
