What would Trump have to do to not be called "thin-skinned"?

[nostradumbass]

Huh?

No I meant the racist, croc shooting inbreeds that yes, are more prevalent in the south

I already said I'm from SC, so one of my pretty good friends is actually a croc hunter, not inbred, and his dad is a chicken farmer.

I can only speak for myself and say I'm not racist or homophobic or xenophobic, or anything else that's "deplorable". My best friend is an Arab, and he's the one who told me most Moroccans smell like shit.

True, I agree Trump has always let his opinions be known and been a lightning rod. and did some very bad things.

I'm just saying I think he handled tremendous hate, brushed his shoulder off, won the election and goes about his business. That's what I'm impressed about. Trump basically took on the world.

Kudos where it is deserved. Lefties hate facts but whatever.

 

[skold]

OK, will ease up on the retard throttle. I consider thin-skinned to be where it takes up a real chunk of your day. Firing off a tweet is not important to me.

He doesn't just fire off a tweet, he goes on a twitter war path, sometimes for hours.

Criticism is a given factor for any celebrity, yet he appears to be one of the only ones who can't let any criticism go.

When was the last time he made a joke at his own expense? He is simply incapable of doing it, because of his deep insecurities.

A president shouldn't concern himself with a flash game made by a 17 year old girl... No other president in history of the United States has ever shown such poor ability to deal with petty childish, trollish insults.

That's being thin skinned

 

[Mr. Shickadance]

Should I keep going, cause there's a few hundred more? There's a goddamn #killdonald

please do because these aren't threats they are tongue in cheek there is worse on sherdog.
and some are over a year old before he was president

Didn't he do pretty much an entire episode of SNL joking at his own expense? Had a roast of himself?

Quote them, and I'll condemn them.

I don't recall anything of this sort, you might be thinking of Alec Baldwin?

Regardless, do you think it's reasonable for a president to be threatening lawsuit against a teenage girl over a stupid flash game?

The movie Kingsman basically had a bit in it where Obama was siding with the movies villain and endorsed a mass culling of the entire human population. Was there a threat of a lawsuit from Obama? Of course not, he is not thin skinned

Trump has done after the election exactly what he did before the election. Give a ton of shit and take a ton of shit. And he will continue giving it and taking shit every second he is President, because that is who he is

Rip, you need to be honest here. He does not just let his opinions be known. He deliberately provokes, insults, belittles and antagonizes. And when that sort of thing is thrown back at him, he behaves in a child like and petulant way. But it is also fair to say that while doing this, he somehow manages go somehow go about his business. I suppose he deserves some sort of acknowledgment for that.

Personally though, I think that is just an awful trait for a President to have. He has lowered the bar for discourse and communication by so many orders of magnitude that I can't even imagine what the country is going to be like in 4 years. At the rate things are going, democrats and republicans will be bashing each other over the head with rocks at the next election.

I think it is fair to say that Trump is bringing out the absolute worst in almost everyone. I am always hopeful, but I am having a very, very hard time seeing how that will result in a happy ending.

I agree Trump knows how to talk trash.

But I blame the violent left protestors the most. ManyTrump rallies resulted in violence from anti-trumpers getting violent with Trump fans. You saw the videos. I've never seen anything like that in my life.

I mean, I'm not gonna go after a Hillary or Bernie voter. I don't think you're that way either.

I don't think you would have seen anywhere near the vitriol from the left if anyone other than Trump was elected. Though I'm sure the butthurt over Hillary not getting in would still have chafed many. Like I said, he brings out the worst in almost everyone.

You know what though Rip, I will check in with you in 3-4 years if their Health bill passes. Because I know how you value the sanctity of life. And you need to be prepared for the abortion rate in this country to explode if this bill goes through.

Mr. Obama, whom you so frequently referred to as the Anti-Christ over the years, lowered the abortion rate in the country by almost 25% with his ACA. Nearly 300,000 fewer abortions per year. A larger decrease than any other President in history by far. But I'm sure simultaneously allowing insurance companies to once again not include pregnancy and maternity coverage, while also throwing millions of women out of the health insurance market altogether- won't have a measurable impact on that.

Bullshit. Suck it up buttercup. He was well ahead of any of the others in policy promises and is delivering.

If you honestly think hildabeast was a better bet then you may want to move to Diaperheadville cause that is exactly what you would have got.

Get a clue.

 

[BrianFantana]

I don't get it. He's the most consistently threatened president in US history, has the entire media, the intelligence community, judges, pretty much the entire gov't outside of like 30 people, not just rooting for, but actively seeking his destruction as a president. Less than 2 months in office, there has already been multiple feminist marches for free tampons(I think, never really got a solid answer on what they were after), immigrants taking a day off work, riots, protests, someone sneaking onto white house grounds, a guy rushing the stage during the campaign, his kids berated, his wife publicly threatened with sex enslavement.

Which president could have dealt with this and still just pressed on with the job?

Maybe, just maybe, he could stop blatantly and outrageously lying every time he opens his mouth. When he stops doing that, he will no longer be called a liar, which he is called for his constant, unrepentant lying.

And then maybe, when he is not being called a liar constantly (because in this hypothetical example he is no longer constantly lying), he will not always be on the defensive, and he can focusing on governing.

A boy can dream.

Go back and read what I wrote again. You will notice I did not say a word about his policies. His policies will either work or they won't. WAAYYYYYY to early to tell which one it's going to be. I hope they do work. I'm not the kind of person that wants the team to lose because I think the captain is a douche.

What I said is that he brings out the worst in people. Not just people on the left. In the vast majority of people. That's Bad Ju-Ju for a President.

I will agree that nobody else would have gotten the violent response from the left. I disagree with your reasons. I've said my opinion on it before.

You know what though Rip, I will check in with you in 3-4 years if their Health bill passes. Because I know how you value the sanctity of life. And you need to be prepared for the abortion rate in this country to explode if this bill goes through.

I'm not sure if I even like this bill.

I do think America will flourish the next 4 years though.

Mr. Obama, whom you so frequently referred to as the Anti-Christ over the years, lowered the abortion rate in the country by almost 25% with his ACA. Nearly 300,000 fewer abortions per year.

Well, he hosted in 2004 and again last year.

Why the hell would I care if someone's a teenager? Seriously, Obama was not thin-skinned" He's been the most "everybody please love me" president in my lifetime and the media gave him an 8 year blowjob.

Here's the thing you have no recollection of happening. Amazing that you still have no idea why he won.

Petulant and childish are synonyms, so that's redundant. @ripskater was not being dishonest, he told you frankly and plainly what he thinks, and you just disagree.

When has Trump ever said anything bad about someone who didn't bash him first? Has this happened even once? Responding to insults doens't make someone thin-skinned. I'm using this word for the first time, but what kind of absurd cuck just gets berated with no response?

Can't see the video, "not available in my country"

Well maybe that's because Obama didn't spend every single day picking twitter fights over pettiness. Or because he had a clear plan in mind and could speak coherently to the media and the people. Or the fact that he seemed like a genuine good human being and not an insecure narcissist.

I know why he won.. because he managed to get stupid people to believe that attacking SJWs and immigrants are far more important for the nation than I don't know.. having proper policies in place.

It's been 8 weeks and he is a disaster, a thin skinned disaster

no one is.

just ask them.

 

[nostradumbass]

Wouldn't say no one, but the accusation gets lobbed at way more people than it should. Calling someone a racist is basically tapping out at this point. My mom's brother adopted a back kid like 15 years ago and my fiance's family is American Indians, so it would definitely put me in a weird spot if I was a white supremacist. BTW, why are we suddenly imagining all these nazis and klansmen in 2017 America? The German National Socialist workers' Party never existed here and haven't existed anywhere in almost 80 years, and the KKK is like a few thousand dudes in towns you've never heard of, so why is there suddenly "punch a nazi" and accusing everyone of being in the KKK in 2017?

in general its almost a certainty that....

1. white racists are more common than whites think

2. white racists are less common than people of color think

kkk and nazis are overt racists. in ww2, it became unpopular (even among actual racists) to admit even to yourself that you are a racist. it was considered to be detrimental to the war effort. the result being, in modern USA, even people who would qualify to be legit racists will attempt to deny it even to themselves. people think that if you have a justified gripe against another race, then that means you arent racist. but.........who doesnt believe their gripes to be justified? no one.
