It was pointed out before that Trump is an alpha male.
So it makes sense Trump attracts people who appreciate "ALPHA MALE" qualities, like "Might makes right".

How's kindergarten going?I guess it takes a lot of integrity to flip-flop on culpability for closing the entire government. This is the most self-entitled piece of narcissistic nonsense I've seen in recent memory.

Then congratulations on closing your mind to half the equation.

EXACTLY!! This is one of the reasons why I've often said that college degrees don't make someone smart, it only makes them learned.
Snarking on the necessity of education is pretty classless, mind you I'm a self-trained hacker & software engineer who dropped out of high school with a GED & I still think higher education is more important than this.
People make themselves smart, or they don't. By the way, Trump founded a fraudulent "university" that was illegal under NY state law.

I'd have thought he would lose what support he had with his crazy insistence on getting his own way with the wall and threatening to overrule Congress. But no; diehard supporters will excuse anything he says or does, until the day he invokes Order 66!
Maybe they elected him to build a wall, so they support him upholding his promise to build a wall.
Hardly the first time government has been shut down to get what president wants.
Dude have any of you ever realized that tunnels can go directly under walls?

I wouldn't exactly call that "racism". Maybe xenophobia? Like countries disliking other countries even when they pretty much have the same races of people? Or maybe there's a better word for it...
But yeah I get it, some people really dislike Americans and think we're all the same. I find that sad because I personally don't feel that way about other countries.

False. You're mistaking peoples' disgust with Donald's behaviour with a preference for someone weak or passive. Strength is fine - desirable, even. It just needs to be wielded appropriately.. i.e. towards enemies alongside allies as opposed to the other way around resulting in 3 of your top Pentagon officials resigning in the last couple weeks, along with the department's pr woman.
It's like I posted in an L&D thread about another members' misconception that physically strong men are aggressive and violent. Not true. I know many Alpha male strong guys from the beach, some of them world class martial artists, and not a single one of us is an aggro instigator. We are all defenders & protectors.
Do you know the difference between machismo & belligerence?
