Ah yeah dude thats not about be liked it's about his ego. You could point to all kinds of examples of this it doesn't change the fact that's about his pettiness about winning on EVERYTHING. I don't agree with it and I have been on record here numerous times say this. So don't get that or your notion of being liked twisted

I disagree. There have been plenty of guys with egos as big or bigger than Trump's who managed to stay focused on the big picture rather than petty crap. Trump's buddy Howard Stern even said the guy wants to be liked/loved.

Well lets agree to disagree then. In the end it doesnt matter ht me you or howard stern think on this issue really. Read this though i saved it from a few months back. Its from CNN so you should feel safe to open it.

Spot on- not sure how any intelligent person doesn't get this.

Trump is all about being liked.

He was always used hearing "Daddy or Mr. Trump you are the best at everything" by his kids and his 'yes men'

Obviously he is not getting that anymore and cant handle it.

He won the election, but not the poplular... so what. Let it go already.

So Obama's crowd was bigger. Just move on, nothing to see

It's a moot point anyway. In some respects all presidents want to be liked. Berry went out of his way to be the cool kid even though he wore nut hugging high waisted mom jeans

I disagree. He didn't do it in a manner where he could be accused of doing so but if you listen to him he doesn't agree with Trump. I thought it was strange considering he never said shit about Berry. You don't find that odd?

I see your point. He did criticize Obama once but not very often.

And no he doesn't agree with Trump but I don't think he was unfair to him. I also believe GWB considers his fraternity of presidents and ex-presidents to be a much more close knit fraternity than whatever cabal of global elites you believe he speaks for.

google "Bush Trump" the media is portraying a different viewpoint then yours or Scott's. I didn't taste for many of Ws policies but I did care for him as a person, I thought he was too nice hence his post was hijacked from him imo. But that doesn't excuse him for commenting on Trump. He didn't vote for him either. I think it's unfortunate.

Go back to your flip phone ;-) and you won't have to rub this dirt out of your eyes all day.
Trump got it right, the media distorts.
Bush also got it right. Times are different now in this 24/7 news cycle with multiple outlets.

Question for you. I don't know if you have brothers or sisters. Because right now I'm doubling down and giving Bush MORE credit. If Trump said about one of my family members what Trump said and repeated abot Jeb he's have a lifelong enemy. Criticise him? I'd blast the fuck out of him every chance I got. But I'm not as smart of George Bush :)

Donr be so naive you know I'm not talking about skull and bones illuminati type shit. There is a global power structure that is and has been consolidating power for decades. Look back at Steve Bannons speech to the Vatican in 14'. Everyone says he is the brains behind Trump so if that's the case understand Bannon. Bannon and his company's namesake has been pointing this enemy out for a while now. But I guess they are crazy. Just read a paper or turn on your tube �������� come on baby boi
