I'm personally sick of these enormously high bars we hold our elected officials too.

Seriously?

You think Trump in particular is held to any high bar?

The thing is no one is expecting Trump to meet any high bars. People just wish he would stop acting like a 12 year old, spoiled brat who is extremely thin skinned.

He gets himself into bother and contradicts himself all off the time because he wants people to like him and anyone who doesn't he attacks.

He lacks basic human decency.

He lies just about everyday and doesn't seem to concentrate or focus on any issue other than telling people everything will be great and trust him.

No one is treating him unfairly. You didn't see Obama crying like a little kid or attacking people when they harassed and criticized him everyday on the right including Trump.

Normal sane people don't act like this and people are tired of it. The office of the president of the united states or president and or leader of any other country should at least have a standard where he or she acts normal and focuses on their job.

How many other leaders do you see act like this?

America looks like laughing stock which is ironic considering Trump used that against Clinton and Obama on the campaign saying they made the country weak and a laughing stock when in fact its the very thing he has done.

So again excuse those of us who think this guy is pathetic and childish.

High bar my arse he is so far away from normal hes not close to any high bar.

Journalists around the world are kilked on a regular basis during their work, ones in the US gets threats of violence and Ben Jacobs was thrown to the floor by a congressman in a move not unlike this.

No president ever likes the press coverage but they are meant to champion their freedoms and safety to report, especially on Independence Day weekend where all of the Constitution should be celebrated.

The Press Corp are often called the 4th part of the government. I just don't get it honestly. There are a LOT of people with information out there, not everyone are R's.
 
Not exactly Trump related, but this article made me laugh, concerning the odious Chris Christie
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40478247



Mr Christie said his family was spending the weekend at the governor's residence there and he was commuting to work by state helicopter.

"That's just the way it goes. Run for governor, and you have can have a residence there," he said at a news conference on Sunday.

"I didn't get any sun today," he added.

After being told of the photographs, his spokesman Brian Murray admitted Mr Christie had "briefly" been on the beach "talking to his wife and family before heading into the office", NJ.com reported.

"He did not get any sun. He had a baseball hat on," Mr Murray added, NJ.com said.
lol

To borrow a quote I seen recently;

"The faux outrage toward Trump and accusations of cruelty are a joke. He doesn't own slaves. He didn't refer to the Natives as "savages" and advocate further dispossession of their land. He didn't ratify white only citizenship or white privileged male only vote. Trump is a saint in comparison to the earliest presidents. He's also more honest than the recent ones."

Whoever came up with that quote is an idiot. Wow.
 
Rural Americans Already Have Poor Health Care. Trump’s Policies Will Hurt Further.
http://www.slate.com/articles/healt...combine_to_uniquely_harm_rural_americans.html

"As the months accumulated into years, Russell’s cancer was slowly becoming a footnote in his life’s larger story. All the follow-up blood tests, CT scans, and colonoscopies since his treatment finished had repeatedly confirmed that his colon cancer was in remission.

Yet in a recent clinic appointment with him, I did not find the emboldened cancer survivor I had expected. Instead, I found a man worried about the future. His trepidations were less about his cancer and more about his ability to access care.

Like many living in rural America, he had gained health insurance through Medicaid expansion in his home state under the Affordable Care Act. After he got access to regular, affordable care, a timely screening colonoscopy found a nascent colon cancer. With the cancer fortuitously discovered, doctors were able to intervene immediately and arrest it before it could become malignant.

Now, Medicaid cuts threaten to eliminate the very insurance that was aggressively surveilling his cancer to detect a recurrence. Without it, Russell will become vulnerable to the unchecked whims of cancer cells that had potentially evaded chemotherapy and could proliferate elsewhere unexpectedly.

It was the complete loss of control over his health that felt the most harrowing. It was not a possibility he had considered months before when casting a ballot for Donald Trump in the presidential election. He had been promised economic succor. His health was not a negotiable issue—he had not expected the result would take away his coverage.

Significant support from rural voters contributed to Donald Trump’s ascendance to the White House in November. Between 2008 and 2016, Republicans gained 9 percentage points in rural areas whereas Democrats lost 11. In suburban and urban areas during this same time span, Democratic support declined slightly while Republican support remained stable. Voters in America’s rural areas found hope in Donald Trump’s campaign promises, which were a balm for their concerns about the changing knowledge-based economy and fears about being left behind.

In return, Trump and his Republican comrades have feverishly pursued policies to downsize Medicaid, implemented a recently upheld immigration ban, and altered visa policies. These policies, though seemingly isolated, will synergize to make rural health care even thornier—they will reduce access and exacerbate physician shortages, which will be crippling for rural communities.

The problems encountered in providing rural health care are unlike those experienced in suburban or urban areas. People who live in rural counties are less likely to have employer-sponsored insurance coverage and more likely to be older, sicker, and poorer than the population in most areas. There is thus a great dependence on federal programs like Medicaid here.

Yet it is difficult to deploy Medicaid successfully in rural areas with physicians glaringly absent. While a fifth of Americans reside in rural parts of the country, only a tenth of doctors work there. According to Julia Paradise of the Kaiser Family Foundation, access to care will suffer even with high physician participation in Medicaid, as long as the supply of doctors is paltry. And recent immigration policies ensure that the supply will diminish further.

Twenty-seven percent of physicians practicing or training in America are foreign, but this figure is much higher in rural areas. Upon completion of residency or fellowship training, many foreign physicians commit to working in clinics and hospitals of underserved or shortage areas for a specified time in exchange for temporary H-1B work visas to remain in the country. For years, this process has managed to preserve a steady stream of doctors to these locations. American physicians balk at filling vacancies in these needy communities due to a lack of cultural or educational opportunities for family, concerns about how frequently they will have to be on call, limited subspecialty support, or less pay. But for foreign doctors looking for visas, these opportunities present an option that becomes a win-win for doctors and patients.

Currently, a number of foreign physicians who have recently completed training are in limbo after the Trump administration suspended the 15-day expedited H-1B visa process in favor of greater scrutiny that can potentially last many months. The hospitals and clinics that have hired them in places like Arkansas and Montana are adjusting to their indefinite absences despite already being understaffed.

The physician pipeline to rural areas will be further constrained by Donald Trump’s immigration ban affecting six-Muslim majority countries. At the moment, there are 7,000 physicians from these nations working in the United States. Combined, these doctors see approximately 14 million patient visits yearly. Of those, 2.3 million of those visits occur in rural and underserved areas. Trump’s ban, parts of which were recently upheld by the Supreme Court, threatens this critical pipeline of doctors willing to serve rural communities.

Because physician density is lower in rural America compared with urban areas, the loss of even a single care provider can have a seismic impact. Unlike other places, replacements are not readily found within the local population. Very few people from rural communities attend medical school, and only half of the ones who do ever return home to work. Already scarce primary care physicians become responsible for providing specialty care as needed, in addition to incremental care (regular, ongoing care), which, as Atul Gawande notes, “is the greatest source of value in modern medicine.” Without this, preventive care is compromised, diagnosis and management of urgent medical conditions is delayed, chronic illnesses are poorly controlled, and life spans are shortened.

In addition, doctors are so sparse here that if an individual is forced to find a new one, he or she may need to travel 45 minutes to an hour just to get to an appointment. Similarly, if a specialist responsible for complex, serious medical conditions is lost, not only are patients at risk of receiving inadequate care but they may also have to journey hours to be seen at a large medical center.

And rural hospitals, which are especially sensitive to changes in Medicaid funding and operate on microscopic financial margins, are already closing their doors. Since January 2010, 79 hospitals have shuttered, and nearly 700 are at risk of closure. Of the 79 closings, 58 were in non–Medicaid expansion states. (These hospitals do not exist in a vacuum, and their closing means more than just lost access to medical care—entire rural economies have been left decimated from the lost jobs.)

When rural voters like Russell sought deliverance in Donald Trump in November, they weren’t expecting him to solve all their problems, they just thought he could stanch some of their suffering. Yet five months into his presidency, he is unapologetically peddling an agenda that could eviscerate Medicaid. The expansion of Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act reduced the amount of uninsured rural adults by 11 percentage points over a six-year period. And yet, in addition to limiting Medicaid, Trump is also closing the pipeline of foreign physicians, which will exacerbate the already tenuous physician shortage. If Trump’s goals are even partially realized, it will come at the expense of his rural base—and their health."

The Dems could win resoundingly if they provided people like this with a better solution than "why haven't you seen Lady Ghostbusters yet?!?!?"

It is refreshing to know at this time of deep political divisions that both left and right can unite on the the belief that Christie is a jerk - and this rating was before Beachgate!

TRENTON -- Gov. Chris Christie's record-low likability in the Garden State has won him the most unflattering title of any of his counterparts: least popular governor in America. That's according to a poll released Tuesday by Morning Consult. It showed Christie has a 71 percent disapproval rating among New Jerseyans. Only 25 percent of New Jerseyans approve of the job Christie is doing, according to the poll.
 
So Mike Pence and his wife aren't an outlier?!!! 25% of women & 22% of men believe that a business meeting alone with a person of the opposite sex is inappropriate!!! If I'd kept to these rules I wouldn't have been able to graduate university let alone have a career.

Nope, I'm not having this. Anyone who was dumb enough to vote for DT deserves whatever bad things happen to them. They had plenty of information and made the wrong choice.

Don't see why people are complaining about this, to me it is just harmless fun. People should be focusing on actual issues and not his tweeting.

Do you honestly think he has no malice in any of his tweets? and is simply a WUM or jokester? Or are you being sarcastic like every other poster claims nowadays....

You don't think the President of the United States should be a little more professional and stay off twitter, especially if its to have a pop at someone or poke 'harmless fun' as you put it? You know everything he says is recorded by the white house right? So any communication that is made is recorded and archived so 20 or 30 years down the line this is the ridiculous people are going to have to still be reminded off.

He is severely thin skinned and can't take that people do not like him so his defence is to act like a 12 year old and berate them or call them fake.

I dislike him greatly but I don't think he is thin skinned. He tweets controversially to deflect attention away from his incompetence on purpose.
