Not every president can be Teddy Roosevelt.

Most of what Trump normally says is distorted/outright false, but you know you’re about to get a true whopper when he telegraphs it with –Believe me– or –I really believe this–.

Despite being a basically evil president, Andrew Jackson was a total badass beating senseless an assassin who’s pistols misfired. Evil, but competent at it.

When Seth Myers pointed out that, if Trump had been cast in Taken, he’d have said, “You have my daughter? Oh. Ok.Thanks for calling me to let me know.” Click.
Now, I think that’s not fair. He’d at least offer all three boys in trade. But that’s his final offer!

So, more or less actual danger than an angry 19 year year-old with an AR-15? Because this thread is about that same guy, who peed himself when an eagle showed him a threat display, saying he would have run into Stoneman Douglas High School when Cruz was shooting kids.

I can say I’d definitely have peed myself and flinched away from the eagle. I’m not a big fan of birds in general. But I think most parents would be hard-pressed to NOT want to run into a building where their children were in danger.
Except people who are malignant narcissists, of course.

but why was president bone spurs even posing with the eagle in the first place. Oh, right; in an effort to look like a badass.
Whoops.

What i thought conservatives like open carry? Why are they hiding?
For me, the turning point during Trump’s campaign where I began to look at him as more than a joke was in his response to the knife attack during a campaign event. You can watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06d4t1704N8
He actually moves towards the attacker. You can’t fake that sort of response. It’s not a conscious decision. I’ll readily admit, as much as I’d like to think of myself as a brave person, I know that I would instinctively duck behind the podium, or try and run out of the way. And I suspect that many others on this board posting all the hate-filled messages would respond similarly.
Whatever your opinion of Trump may be (not to armchair psychoanalyze here, as someone who hated George W. as much as I’ve ever hated anyone, I see now that it wasn’t really George W., but more people who he reminded me of in my past, arrogant bullies, etc., and I suspect many people hate Trump for similarly irrational/emotional/personal reasons), the fact is that Trump IS the type of person who would run into a school in that sort of situation. Trump wakes up every morning, well aware that he is intensely hated by millions, and moves without fear through each day and says and does whatever the hell he wants. Most of the people posting hateful comments here won’t do anything 1/100 as courageous as that in their entire lifetime.
So, say what you want about Trump. I’ll agree with you…mostly. But you have to admit…he is kind of a badass.
No. No one has to admit any such thing. That’s like saying “you have to admit… feces make a pretty good dessert topping.”

Ha. Ok, fair enough. You don’t have to admit. I admit though. And you’re welcome to join me in admitting. Sound better? 
Also, Jackson would have hated Trump’s guts. It would have been loathing at first sight. Like you say, Jackson was evil, but he was competent, and he had actually achieved great things on his own.

I think you’re going to have to go solo on this one.
Even the White House later said “yeah just because Trump claimed he would have heroically run into that building unarmed doesn’t mean anyone was supposed to actually believe that’s what he would really do in such a situation.”

No he actually doesn’t, even in slow motion. At best he turns to see what the disturbance is.

It’s not irrational to think an arrogant bully is a bad person to put in a position of power. Really it’s a perfectly logical stance to take. Arrogant bullies dismiss the value of our allies, and underestimate the power of our enemies, while thinking they can just get whatever they want if they’re loud and mean enough.
Basically, they’re stupid, and people who follow along are generally either stupid, cowed, or stand to benefit from manipulating a bully.

Figured out what this reminded me of. In the doco ‘The Voyeur’ about the repulsive old man, the hotel and Gay Talese’s book about the whole thing, the revolting geriatric gets upset about something and starts issuing threats along the line of ‘I’ll hunt you down and kill you, I’m coming for you’. While he’s riding a stair chair (you know, those mobility things attached to stair rails). Mate, you can’t even walk up and down your stairs. You really think you’ve the ability to hunt someone down and kill them? Come on.
That’s what this deluded, ridiculous, laughable statement by the clown-in-chief reminds me of. An incontinent, illiterate, demented geriatric dribbling whatever nonsense comes into his mostly-bald and ugly, hateful head. Reality in no way enters into it.
