I see a bumbling fool, a carnival huckster, a doddering old man with no clue as to how a government is run, shambling around the world alienating our allies. I see stupid antics, which his fellows try to mitigate with comments like "He doesn't know that that is unlawful", in re Comey. Ignorance of the law is no excuse. If the Chump were pushing a shopping cart down 6th Street in LA, and acted like he does, he'd be in an involuntary psychiatric hold. The level of discourse is about the same. But, he has a lot of money, so now he's president. Rolleyes

You people love listing fallacies.  It was just a hyperbole for humors sake.  Although I think the caricature isn't so far from the mean that it loses the point. 

Let me rephrase.  Hypothetically, let's say Trump did something correct, but it required some nuanced or non-intuitive thinking to recognize that it was correct, do you think you'd be able to get past your opinion of him as 'a bumbling fool, a carnival...' to reach that conclusion?

Well, he has a couple of policies I generally agree with, but his negatives are so overwhelming that they tend to dominate the discussion.

Also, it's only fair to call you out on your hyperbole. You don't get to frame the conversation by imputing behavior to people if they don't behave that way. And while a few here post similar to your characterization, many others don't. It's entirely fair to point that out, whether or not you like it.

I swear Trump really thinks his office is simply another episode of Jerry Springer. Here is his latest Tweet about Comey. What a stupid fuck, if I were Comey I would sue Trump for Slander.

I believe the James Comey leaks will be far more prevalent than anyone ever thought possible. Totally illegal? Very 'cowardly!'

At most, even the most stringent hatred here burns as hot as 250 suns.  Maybe 300 if the suns aren't too big.  For me to try and claim it was more than 1000 suns was unfair, and needed correcting.  I thought I was going to be able to slip that in there without anyone noticing it was hyperbole, but y'all kept me honest.  I hope you accept my apology.

No apology needed; I wasn't offended.

It did seem apt to point out, though, that many of his critics are not nearly so shrill as you portrayed -- and still do, apparently.
