    Donnie John is the modern spoiled child of privilege, a draft dodger, liar, and cheat, if you move in the upper classes you meet them on occasion. Rebbecca nails it.

    Is this really ok with people? I strikes me as conduct unbecoming of the office. Sometimes a spoiled child throwing a tantrum because he didn't get his way, other times a playground bully blustering to hide his own fears, but always juvenile and crude.

    Can anyone explain why so many people seem ok with it?
    I don't think presidents should tweet at all. They should communicate officially, not like a bored teen. As for taunting I'd have to see examples.

    ... because he was impuslive and caustic. On the somewhat rare occasion that he has acted presidential, the media has commented on it positively.

    and you are a spoiled child......you didn't get your way so you want to burn America to the ground. It's guys like you that support the violence against those who voted for Trump....and applauded the shooting of Republicans at a baseball practice.....you should be ashamed of yourself
    sore losers, the whole damned bunch of you

    another load of hooey.....he's only caustic to you. You want special privileges for minority groups by taking way the Rights of others, that would be the ones who voted Trump in. He speaks to the common man. I guess we don't deserve that, eh?
    Here's what has frosted your side of the aisle: Clinton was pandering to special interest groups, the lgbtq, illegal aliens, etc. You wanted someone who was in it for a few people, while we voted for someone who was in it for all.
    What did YOU lose this election? What meal was taken from your table? What Right has he taken from you?
