Numbers Obsessions

What is this stuff about worrying that Trump is complaining about his losing the popular vote and the inauguration numbers?

There are much more important problems to be discussed with the American people and yet he continues to dwell on such minor matters?

With his action on the TPP, he does not realize that by doing so will give the Chinese the trade edge in that region. Smart, very smart.

People from the home country are saying that Americans should be concerned about their president's behavior.

Yes, yes, Trump's a nutjob. We're all acutely aware of his ego problem, so everyone can stop making threads about it.

Trump's ego can't handle the truth. That is what this is all about.

I agree with you. However it seems Trump simply can't let it go. He has "victim syndrome", 'everyone is picking on me', 'they're out to get me" and on ad nauseaum. If you want to hear about more important issues, get a different president. You're in for four years of this...

I believe it comes from many years of being surrounded by yes men. Now he has to deal with people who question him and he can't seem to handle it at all. Hopefully the gravity of his new job will eventually turn him around, but I have my doubts.

The TPP thing is mad. But he had said he'd do it and was elected anyway.

Excellent observation; I have to share your doubts. At his age it is unlikely he will adapt, but rather try to adapt his environs to his needs

The only reason the popular vote and especially the crowd count continue to be the issues they are is because the administration is making it a bigger issue than they are due to Trump's huge ego encased in a thin skin.

All they administration had to do was stick to the, "we campaigned for electoral votes so that's what we won. If we campaigned for popular votes we would have won that" line and never address it again.

And for the crowds there is nothing wrong with just saying, "Of course Obama's had larger crowds. He was the first African American in history to become President. Historic moments bring in crowds. What matters is how I perform in office. "

That's it. Say something like that and leave it alone. If the media keeps pushing stupid issues it makes them look bad. But every time the Administration brings it up it makes them look bad.
