    Trump is the ultimate figurehead.

    His head is literally empty.

    He had 3 issues: China, Moslems and Messicans. This is what got him elected.

    During the primaries, he defended both Planned Parenthood and universal healthcare.

    We know hes pro-policestate and we know he has a well established liberal past.


    Otherwise, this dummy or pawn does whatever hes told.

    Trump: "we're leaving Syria".
    Bolton: "No we're not".

    WTF?

    He correctly questioned why we were opposing the Syrian government and their Russian allies when they were both fighting ISUS, you know, the bad guys...

    But that also went to complete $#@!.

    The bump stock ban, I'm assuming that someone in his circle simply told him this needs to happen and he did it.

    This is $#@!ing bizarre.

    Can anyone think of another Presidency in which the POTUS was literally just there to do what hes told?

    I realize theyre all just figureheads but is it always to this degree?

    Maybe. Or maybe not someone in his circle, but just some MSM news story he read or watched. It's not like he doesn't actually support gun control.

    On the issue of gun control, I don't think the situation is one where he might be inclined to support more freedom, but he has handlers telling him to support more restrictions. It's the other way around. If he had his way, he'd be far more zealous in disarming us, but his handlers have to rein him in, mainly for fear of the political fallout of being too anti-gun.

    I am a libertarian. I am advocating everyone enjoy maximum freedom on both personal and economic issues as long as they do not bring violence unto others.

    What does Fox News think? They generally seem able to change his mind. He usually posts things on twitter after they discuss them and he has hired several from Fox News to work for him. Especially Hannity and Fox and Friends.

    https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/22/polit...ews/index.html

    Nearly a quarter of Trump's Instagram posts are reposts of Fox News content

    Trump's account reposted 85 photos or videos from either Fox News, Fox Business or "Fox & Friends" from May 22 to Aug. 22. That's about 24% of the 358 posts on Trump's account in that time frame.

    Many of the Fox posts that Trump's account reposts are graphics of Trump quotes -- either things he said or tweeted -- creating a social media feedback loop. Trump tweets, Fox News turns the tweet into a graphic and that graphic ends up back on a @realDonaldTrump account.

    You can't just leave Syria. You have to spend several years leaving Syria or you're doing it wrong.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.
