I'm not 100% sure.  He executes people who disappoint him with anti-aircraft guns.  I have to believe that things like that factor into how his advisers frame the facts.  It seems possible that he's surrounded by people who are afraid to tell him plainly that he has no chance in any war.

He's a hard guy to figure out.  I don't quite know what his end game is.  Reunify with South Korea?  We're bound too strongly with them in many different ways to abandon them so that's unrealistic.  Survival?  Maybe but who would be interested in toppling that government?  We'd have to deal with 25 million uneducated, starving refugees.  Shaking us down for aid?  If that's his plan then it really isn't working out well.  Maybe China/Russia likes to rile him up just to piss us off.

He CLEARLY knows he has no chance in a war. He does get aid. Russia and China also like him for keeping the US occupied. Blowing people up with AA guns is just a way to show people in his country who's boss and convince other countries he's unpredictable and to be reckoned with. His end game is to not get invaded and everything he does serves that purpose. As for who would be interested in toppling his government? The US and South Korea, or his own people if they were ever to realize what is happening and he showed weakness. The advantages of invading him massively outweigh the disadvantages. He's not THAT complicated. I wouldn't worry for a nuclear war but it's a dangerous peace. Kinda like a cold war.

What has he actually accomplished as president? All he has done is put incompetent people in charge of departments, erased EOs established by Obama, and alienated foreign leaders and congressional leaders. Oh, he has also golfed a lot and had to almost completely restaff his white house staff in under 9 months.

Tell me something he has done that would make him even an okay president.

Off the top of my head.

Pardoning Joe Arpaio.
Failure to address Russian interference.
Obstructing the Russian investigation.
Pushing legislation and executive orders based on ideology and ignoring actual data, ie the Muslim ban.
Intentionally suppressing climate science.
Hamstringing the state department.
Possibly nullifying DACA, we'll have to see how that works out.
Weakening the Johnson amendment with the goal of repealing it.

Yeah, some of the hate is misplaced.  I kind of wish the lefties would focus on the actual things he's doing wrong as opposed to accusing him of being a white supremacist.

As far as spending though, his actions do not seem to have much to do with balancing the budget.

Yeah, it's called polarization... Makes things easier for politicians hunting for votes. Makes it easier to assign people a label and just have them be yours forever. "I don't wanna hear about yo liberal commie shit, get off my lawn!" "I don't wanna hear about yo conservative white supremacist shit, get off my lawn!". Everyone picks their camp and makes the number crunching easier for the people whose job is to get politicians elected.

Does anyone find it funny that the person who constantly complains about racial injustice against whites ("boo hoo, I'm under attack for being a straight white male, woe is me") is now complaining about blacks complaining about racial injustice?

After all, 44 of the last 45 presidents have been straight (ostensibly) white males, so there couldn't possibly be any racial injustice against that demographic, right?

Probably half of these "racially-motivated police shootings" could have been avoided if the victims would have listened and did what the officer told them to do. Don't fight, don't run, don't pull out or reach for a weapon. And then if the officer gets out of line then you have a real case against him.

The point of a protest is to generate popular support for a policy change, which is what is needed to effect police reform. I'm not sure how much effect a protest is going to have on the behavior of a hoodlum.

You do have a point though. I suspect BLM would gain way more respect if they focused as much effort on trying to decrease inner city crime.

I think he rather means not shooting unarmed persons just because they are black.
Shooting unarmed persons is a job for gangsters (like the blacks shooting blacks you are referring to), it's not the job of the police, except in countries like the Philippines or the USA it seems.

I agree that some of these shootings were unjustified and the officers should face charges. In the case of Michael Brown however, he robbed a store then fought with the officer, trying to get his gun and the officer defended himself. The witnesses(mostly black by the way) all lied about it but the truth came out.

Of course not. Are you being intentionally stupid? I'm no expert in this area, but the ideas I've most commonly heard are:

1. Change how investigations into police shootings are handled. Internal investigations tend to involve a lot of conflict of interest. Local prosecutors tend to not want to indict the police they regularly work with.
2. Better statistics.
3. Body cameras.

What was the Russian Interference? Oh... Exposing the Dem's for doing what they were doing? Had the Dem's not been Sabotaging Bernie Sanders... Had the Dem's not been getting debate questions from CNN in advance... etc. Then the Russian's hacks would have been a non-point...


Obstructing the Russian investigation.

Ehh... I don't know... Seems to be more of a Dem issue... I think it's funny that in the course of a night, the Dem's reverted back to 1970's Republicans Screaming about how the Russians are evil... PUTIN DID THIS, HE HACKED US... and what did he hack?  OUR EMAILS!!!!!

and what did your emails say? Well.... HE HACKED US!!!

Pushing legislation and executive orders based on ideology and ignoring actual data, ie the Muslim ban.

I'm for it... I'm not for a "wall" exactly, but I am not for open boarders, therefore, boarders should be policed much much harder... I am against Obama, for instance, Shutting Down Arizona's policing a deportation of illegals... Hence the Name Illegal.... If it is Illegal it is not good... Not all things illegal should be illegal... But, if you are going to break the law... then there is a risk and reward aspect you take on...

Intentionally suppressing climate science.

He has no ability to suppress science... if anything, Al Gore suppresses science by making claims that are extreme... Like, Miami will be under water by 2016 (or something like that)
He can deny science, but that is the job of republicans... Unfortunately, climate science is not a science that can be fully understood... If it were, I would ask a (flat earthed themed question)... What is the percentage "man" has contributed to the increase in global temperature?

Hamstringing the state department.
I'd have to research that

Possibly nullifying DACA, we'll have to see how that works out.
I'd have to research that...

Weakening the Johnson amendment with the goal of repealing it.
I don't know much about it, but there is sooo much political campaign high jinx going on that
