I would start by not welling up with indignant anger at every Trump tweet. Stop being bated. The primaries were a test of the limits of the outrage machine, which has now lost all credibility. Trump, unknowingly aided and abetted by the MSM, has purposefully flooded the public consciousness with extreme statements, thereby diluting their effect for everyone but those inside the echo chamber.
So which Trump should we believe?????
The centrist one or the hard right one???????
I would also stop trying to analyze Trump through the traditional left-center-right political paradigm.
That's just my advice tho

Dude is a clown. They need to roll back that Twitter account again.
Still makes her better than somebody who has all but ushered in 21st century Naziism into the mainstream. Plus, set out this bill and I wanna see who voted for it and against it.

They'll pretend they didn't see this part so they can defend this Nazi sympathizer in Chief.

American standards are in a free fall. A person soon to be holding the most power office in the world can be allowed to make statements that indicate his willfulness to violate the bill of rights and @King Kreole would sacrifice his a$$hole to cape for him
When you get to the point when you are defending authoritarianism (even paper authoritarianism) you lawst

What part of the statement "Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!" do you not understand, the ignoring of our constitutional rights that this statement implies or what usually follows familiar statements like this in the context of history? And how should we analyze trump, given his actions ? Also, can you explain his meeting of fomer goldman-sachs banker Jamie Dimon , despite him calling out hilliary for entertaining special interest, for the position of Treasury secretary? it goes against his populist rhetoric, just noting.

I don't much care what Trump supporters thought of Obama. Many of them were displaying the same irrational extremist fear mongering that we're seeing right now. Tribalism isn't the exclusive property of either side of the spectrum.
I'm not the one normalizing the behaviour, I'm a spectator. You'd have to take your issue to the media who spent the past year breathlessly reporting on every Trump tweet and calling him the manifestation of pure evil. It rings hollow after a while. If you're offended, you're offended, but this whole movement to treat offense as the ultimate sin is coming home to roost.
What you call trolling is actually a media strategy. And Trump is far from the first President to play the media. He's just doing it in such a brazen way. Listen, the world is changing. Society is changing. Trump is not the genesis of this social deformalization, but he sure as hell is taking advantage of it.

God made me this way
Its not irrational if you can directly pinpoint what EXACTLY it is with evidence of what it is that is worrisome. A 70 year old man that acts this way is concerning regardless of the intent.
By suggesting people ignore what he says is to suggest Trumps tirade is a normal occurrence from a person about to be leader of the United States. As a regular citizen..sure its fine to side step him. As a person that needs to be a leader for all people its problematic and concerning.
so what's the strategy what is he trying to do to the media?
Listen, a Nazi soldier could've made the argument "the world is changing" when Italy and Japan became allies that doesn't mean the direction of this change can't be stopped by the evil and unhinged propelling it.
true but you know im talking about these dumbass tea party fags.
You know what. fukk it. I'm ready for trump and his fukkery. If folks can't see the writing on the wall that's on them. We saw this coming. It's expected. This just America taking off all the fake truth and justice shyt on its Facebook page. Between this Trump tweets and appointments this what we expected from a trump presidency. A bush repeat with less class, more debt, and Republicans checking every right Americans have besides the gun rights and being a good Christian.

The Flag Protection Act of 2005 was a proposed United States federal law introduced by Senator Bob Bennett (R-Utah), with Senator Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) as original co-sponsor. The other co-sponsors included Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) and Thomas Carper (D-Del.).[1]Lesser of 2 evils
The law would have prohibited burning or otherwise destroying and damaging the US flag with the primary purpose of intimidation or inciting immediate violence or for the act of terrorism. It called for a punishment of no more than one year in prison and a fine of no more than $100,000; unless that flag was property of the United States Government, in which case the penalty would be a fine of not more than $250,000, not more than two years in prison, or both
