The Gettysburg Address with it's solemnity, reverence, truth, humanity, brevity and cadence remains the greatest political address in this nation's history. To compare a crude creature like Trump favorably to Lincoln cannot but make any serious person laugh.

36% of the population thinks trump is doing a good job.
That means 64% say he sucks.
America is for the people by the people.
But the people have no say.
Otherwise, the 64% would throw him out.
You Americans have been 0wned since forever ......

Polls go up and down. What matters is who votes on Election Day. If he's at 36% in Nov '18 (if his Russia lies haven't caught up to him by then) the Dems should do well.

One wonders what, specifically, is Trump doing to be proud of, what he's doing to "make America great?" Once a president is elected, it's all about actions. What actions has Don taken that people are defending, people like Pud? I think many were simply hoodwinked by Trump's rhetoric, and that he was not some foo foo left wing nut, rather an old school white guy who when they looked at him, they recognized something of themselves.
This ain't no Camelot...

Well said, John, but trump, and his supporters definition of what is good for America is something that existed in the fifties.
rather an old school white guywho when they looked at him, they recognized something of themselves. white guy being the imperative description.

John,
You're an intelligent guy. I don't typically view you as a follower.
I do not 'defend' Trump as much as I defend our right to make a choice at the ballot box and to support one's chosen candidate.
The complainers here have nothing to show because of their lack of effort.
They earned everything they cry over by not participating. Sitting home and believing polls. Now they are a sorry bunch. Oh well.
Donald Trump was sick and tired of what our government was doing and did something about it. NONE of the people complaining on this thread can say as much.
I believe Trump will right some significant wrongs done by previous administrations and allow the middle class the opportunities they have earned.
As far as what he's done to date.
His Admin is currently enforcing laws voters had approved long ago but, had been shelved by the spineless Obama camp due to their overt political incorrectness.
His destruction of wasteful agencies is welcome and long overdue.
His actions today saved thousands of families from losing their livelihood.
Also saving billions of taxpayer dollars from being wasted on the hoax that is man made climate change.
Ford building plants in Michigan show the real benefits of having a business friendly and competent commander in chief.
Talk to the parents of the 14 year old girl recently raped in a high school bathroom by an adult illegal alien and see how much they agree with the status quo. One of the criminals involved in the rape was detained by authorities then released under Obama's "catch and release" policy last summer. Can you or anyone here defend that?
Stomp your feet and wave your fists all you want, however, showing up to vote may serve you better next time.

I can't think of a single person who defends sexual assault.
Besides Donald Trump. Who bragged about it.

I doubt a person who compares Trump and Lincoln has ever read the transcript of the Gettysburg Address.
You may be right about that, but then, how many people who dump on Trump have read the Lincoln/Douglas debates? [And no, I have nothing but contempt for Donald Trump, but Abraham Lincoln was a politician, not a saint -- something that most Americans forget.]
And as for Pud...
His actions today saved thousands of families from losing their livelihood.
What actions?
It's easy to make sweeping statements like this, but they're meaningless until you get specific. What did Pres Trump do today, and how did that save thousands of families from losing their livelihoods?
Ditto to most of the other claims you made. If you could be more specific, it would be easier to agree or disagree with you. But what you've said -- well, other than your calling climate change "a hoax" -- is so vague that it is impossible to comment on.

On Nov. 20, 2014, President Barack Obama announced he was taking executive action to delay the deportation of some 5 million illegal immigrants. Under the new policy people who are parents of U.S. citizens or legal residents will receive deportation deferrals and authorization to work legally if they have been in the U.S. for more than five years and pass background checks. Obama's action also amended the 2012 Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which allows people under age 31 who were brought to the U.S. as children to apply for two-year deportation deferrals and work permits. Obama's policy change lifted the age ceiling and added a year to the deferral period. Twenty-six states challenged the executive order, and in February 2015 a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction, temporarily blocking the provisions of the executive order while the states pursued a lawsuit to permanently shut down the program.

Trump must have a secret anal gland that emits attraction pheromones. It's the only plausible reason any person would support such a repulsive human.

So far Trump's presidency , employing his inexperienced family members to prestigious government positions , reminds me of a zany Beverly Hillbilly's parody...

Anybody see the piece, on the news, about Ivanka encouraging school girls to study science, while at the same time her daddy was cutting funds for education?

Ironic that you use the same word to describe Trump as many used to describe Lincoln.
Wow! I mean wow as in I'm incredulous anyone would consider using those two names in the same sentence. And every post since this one is progressively more delusional and devoid of facts then the previous one. Good to know just how f*#ked up these folks can be.
Dude, fact check: every single piece of paper trump has signed to date has been aimed squarely at f*#king the average working American family.

You got it! Has to be it. The chemicals released into the environment during his 3 AM bathroom Tweeting sessions effect his followers ability to distinguish right from wrong.
