This same person also seems to think that it is the lack of respect some Americans show for Trump that causes the rest of the world to not respect Trump. I don't think so. It is his childish, bullying, immature behavior and constant lying. If he at least acted with some dignity, he'd get more respect in my opinion.
Wylie,
Of course you are twisting my previous words. That's par for the course here. However, if you think the way Americans, or any Country's people, view and treat their Leader doesn't have any effect on how the rest of the World views and treats them, you are simply wrong. Nothing you, or anyone else, can say will change my opinion of that. Do I agree that Trump's childish, bullying, immature behavior and constant lying hurt his cause with Americans as well as the rest of the World? Absolutely. Does any of those things legitimize all the additional lies and BS that people throw at him? Not in my mind. As I've already said far too many times, good luck finding a US Presidential candidate who isn't guilty of lying to Americans and at least one or two of the others. Although I do think Trump has done some good things, you won't find anywhere I ever said Trump has been a good POTUS. I will however repeat that I believe he was a better choice for the job that HRC. Doubt anything ever changes my view on that either. Really, really tired of having the same back-and-forth. Most of this was said 2.5 years ago. Just no point to it. Enjoy your POTUS-bashing thread.
never said it doesn't have any effect. Sure, it does. But if you think it has more of an effect on how the world views Trump than his childish behavior, you are simply wrong. Nothing you or anyone else says will change my opinion on that. I can only speak for myself. I haven't told any lies or BS about him. Every president and elected official has lied to the public at one time or another. It comes with the job. I know you feel he is and was a better choice than HRC. Much as I dislike HRC I disagree with you, We will never know for sure. I'm still waiting for you to show me where I bashed him by lying about him. Everything I have ever said about trump is the truth.
One other thing. Sure, if we respected him more, the rest of the world might respect him more as well. The problem is he has done very little to earn my respect. I respect the office of the POTUS. That doesn't mean I respect whoever holds that office. Someone wants my respect, they need to earn it.
