Trump's anger management issues

Chomsky said:
I very much agree with the bolded. You take your wins however you can get them, and put emotions to the side.

Trump never does and never will put his emotions aside, as far as he is concerned that would be disrespecting himself.

I don't know if it's required for the job, or even that presidents are a rare breed who all have to high strung. It seems to me to be justifying bad behavior. I don't remember hearing "no drama Obama" ever flying into fits of rage. I don't even remember George W. Bush or his dad doing it.

Did you vote for Hillary?
 
Why do you think Republicans continue to deny their brand, while at the same time voting for Republicans for all the major offices and supporting their positions on all the major issues.

As you have been told repeatedly I am not a Republican, have not been since 1983, and lots of people have been saying all along that they find Trump to be abnormally honest. Currently 34% say that he is honest, a number that has been driven down a relentless assault on his reputation by an Elite Class that is working on an Impeachment.

If you dont know of the concept of Emotional Honesty you might look at the following....

Im proud to state that I'm a mod/con Democrat with positive proposals on the major issues going forth. All GOPs have on the issues is sinking us in quick sand, running on a treadmill, refusing to give us stand-alone disaster aid, sabotaging health care, and voting against Southerners devastated by Harvey, just for starters ...
 
the combination of Trump's known ****ty temper & Trump's ready access to the US nuclear codes should scare the **** outta any human ........

The word respect is not in trump's very limited vocabulary ...

Trump goes overboard with the trash talk/BSing, but that seldom impacts my views on his honesty.

And I assume neither does 8 years straight of the Obama birth certificate thing, telling us about Muslims celebrating on rooftops after 9/11, accusations of Trump Tower being wiretapped by Obama, Trump University, etc...

So tell us, is there ANYTHING he could lie about that would impact your views on his honesty?

I think you are just trying to dismiss any link other than Breitbart as a liberal rag.

If it's so easy to find, I'd suggest you post them up. Otherwise? I guess you've got nothing except your own prejudices. Links?? One for his public humiliation of Sessions. One of his supposed contentious phone call and hanging up on the PM.

Rumor. Innuendo. I posted a link to the TRANSCRIPT of his call with the PM. Your contention is false. He did not hand up. It was not contentious. So we KNOW neither of you can refute that. Whatcha got on this "public humiliation" you speak of?

Republicans denied their brand all those years they claimed to be wanting small government but kept grabbing for more power/money....they denied their brand all those years they claimed to be against Victim Culture yet signed onto just about every victim servicing plan the Left came up with to include restricting speech......that is a big part of why they lost to Trump, who came in and hijacked their POTUS nomination.

Trump is not a Republican, I have always been clear on that....I was hoping that he was going to steal not only the nomination but the whole party too, but he failed to get enough support from the people to do that. Trump gave it a great Try though, Trump has nothing he needs to apologize to me for, he is a Patriot in my books.

Sure she is, because anyone who claims that Trump has this huge disqualifying anger problem (and that is the sales pitch) but was willing to vote for Clinton Corp with an anger problem so huge that they spent 20 years openly destroying anyone who defied them has tons of splaining to do.

trump was a big spender advocate all those years you speak of, as well as a big campaign contributor to Chuck.

Why no answer concerning the American Legion supporting medical cannibas for PTSD Veterans ?

I know the history of Trump better than most as for your question I dont know what you are talking about...did you ask me a question? I have not gotten to all my quote alerts today as I am a very popular fella but on pot I favor full legal status such as we have in Washington, I made a big mistake giving it up for 25+ years....Trump does not agree with me and he will never agree with me on that, though our much bigger disagreement is on the general practice of the state abusing the citizens with the so-called justice system.
 
ataraxia said:
The president has developed a reputation for his occasional explosive anger. Some believe that this is just a ploy, just one of the tools he uses in negotiations or to get his way. In his 2007 book "Think Big", he wrote:



Barbara Res, Trump's former head of construction who worked with the then-businessman for 18 years, described the President a "master" at using anger as just one tool among many others to "find the weakness in people and then exploit it to his benefit."

But others think that this is not just a tool that is used in any sort of planned, controlled, or strategic way to achieve certain goals and agendas. It is just who he is. He cannot control it, in the same way he cannot control his Tweeting. Yes, the Tweets have helped him sometimes. But they have also hurt him a lot too. Whichever it does, it doesn't seem to be something that is done in a controlled or planned way by him. His anger issues seem to be the same. It's just who he is and what he does- and sometimes it just ends up helping him, and other times it hurts him.

They point to his recent public humiliation of Jeff Sessions in front of Mike Pence and other prominent aides for recusing himself from the Russia investigation. What was that supposed to accomplish? How did it help anything? Or perhaps yelling at the Australian prime minister his first week in office. What was the agenda he thought he was going to accomplish, other than antagonize a longstanding ally and someone he needs in the future for all sorts of negotiations and issues, especially in the far east?

What are your thoughts on Trump's legendary outbursts of fury? Controlled weapon or a loose cannon and WMD?

1. What makes you think Trump's tweets are "uncontrolled"? Do you know for a fact...in other words, has HE said...that he cannot control his tweets? Furthermore, I don't think his tweets have hurt him at all. Oh...sure...the Mainstream Media won't hesitate to spin and morph his tweets into something they HOPE will hurt him, but I see no evidence they actually HAVE hurt him. He keeps on tweeting.

2. I don't consider Trump berating Sessions amongst his high-level peers as "public humiliation". Have you even been in a high level corporate staff meeting when the CEO calls one of his VP's out for a bad decision? This is no different. Heck, you shouldn't even know this is happening...and the only reason you do is because of leakers. In any case, getting on Sessions doesn't mean Trump lost control...or, that he was even angry.

My thoughts? Hell, I don't even know if his so-called (by you) bouts of fury ARE "legendary". In any case, Nikki Hailey said it well yesterday when talking to the press yesterday about next week's UN activities: "He knows who to slap and who to hug."

Then trump disagrees with the ultra conservative Anerican Legion on taking care of our PTSD Veterans.

It takes one to know one with Veteran's issues and trump isn't one.

He could probably use some rock candy laced with THC, as is available in your state, for his MAMIs ...
