'Nobody likes me,' Trump complains, as even his allies fade
CNN ^ | 1 August 2020 | Kevin Liptak

"Nobody likes me," he said, confounded at how his administration's health experts could be receiving accolades while he is accused of ignoring and denying the raging public health crisis. "It can only be my personality," Trump said, "that's all."

That's one answer.

SNIP

Trump's attempts to regain standing have only exacerbated the divorce and led to worries he is weighing down his party's ability to move forward. Long dismissive of the Washington establishment, Trump has shown little concern at how his moves are forcing allies into awkward positions or alienating himself from longstanding norms.

SNIP

"I read it. I laughed. I thought my gosh this is going to consume a lot of people," said GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer. "I long ago stop being surprised by the things he does that other presidents wouldn't have done, but I also understand why he does it and why his base enjoys it so much."

Get ready for an incredible mess during the election.

Blue states doing mail in voting will not report election results. Washington state has still only counted 85% of the votes from the primary. New York still hasn't called some races from a couple of months ago. House of Reps will refuse to certify election, and try to install Pelosi. Calling my shot, now.

That's the reason Democrats aren't worried about Biden as a candidate. They just need a cardboard cutout to put in front of the camera.

Most of the parasitic politicians turn themselves inside out trying to make the electorate like them.

Dummies.

They fail to discern that the electorate is waiting to see whether the pol likes THEM.

This is Donald’s forte———voters know he likes them.

He has said many times: “I will never let you down.”

The crazier they get, the more convinced I become that good things may happen in November.

And I’m not talking about the new Christmas movies on Hallmark.

My wife is, but not me.

I’ve read Ryan Holiday’s books.
I also have one called The Little Book of Stoicism by Salzgeber.
I keep a copy of Marcus Aurelius on my night stand.

Through out history, nobody liked Christians either. May God bless Trump and all believers....all others, events are proving atheists and leftists are destroying America by mis belief, please pray for eyes to see and ears to hear.

President Trump has saved the Republican party from extinction.. The RINO’s continue to try and destroy it by being the Uniparty.

“.... Trump has saved the Republican party from extinction. ....”

He has the GOP parked on a “plateau” it remains to be seen if it backtracks or renews the path to extinction

I am more enthusiastic about voting for Trump this time than I was last time. CNN is vile.

In my rise in the business world, always had the impression that the more people ‘under’ you the chances are pretty good that more people don’t like you, which seems to be a reasonable assumption as you are there to do a job not make friends.

Of course, it is not the same as the PDJT dissidents surely HATE him or have been ‘pushed’ to hate him as dislike just isn’t enough.

However him ‘whining’ about it doesn’t help and I don’t believe ‘we’ are given the proper perspective the statement was made.
