In this one he was just goofing around for the camera at school picture day.

He reminds me of Men from the era I grew up in. Not a bully, just resolute. When my Dad spoke it was law. For good or bad. His yes was yes and no was no. He wasn't always worried about my feelings, I was a child, and wanted stupid stuff. I think in today's society everyone gets to be a winner with no effort. Everyone is a special personal and has the right to do whatever they want without being told no. So individuals that do not give into that are viewed as bullies.

I actually think he is very patient and tolerant of borish behavior.

The woman was a reporter that he knows well and speaks to on a regular basis (as is every president's relationship with the other reporters that regularly cover the white house). Notice how they usually call the reporter by 1st name.

There is also proper etiquette for a White House Press Conferences...which include the reporters know what the topic of each press conference is. You don't get to unilaterally turn it to a topic that you want to ask about. SHE broke the rules. She was out of line asking a question that was off-topic. He was calm and didn't take her bait...and didn't let the conference go "off-topic" just because she was rude and wanted to talk about something else. (Even CF has a rule that a thread has to stay "on-topic" as defined by the original post).

To say that she was bullied is insulting to her. It says that she is a "poor little girl that needs defending" instead of an accomplished journalist who is good enough at her profession to be part of the group who is allowed to participate in the White House press conferences.

Funny that you all talk about the President's bullying. The truth is that I feel so bullied by the minority party that I don't feel safe to express my support of the legally elected president most of the time. I am glad when he pushes back because he seems like the only person who is supporting the silent majority who actually do support him. I didn't have a lot of hope when he was first elected but I am impressed that in spite of all people who are intentionally trying to make his job harder, he is actually accomplishing what he promised. He may turn out to be historically one the best presidents we ever have had. We definitely were in need of someone who isn't a professional politician to get a leadership position in Washington, DC.

I think he is an idiot who doesn't think first, but I don't know if he's a bully per say. Though again I'm split on that. Watching Apprentice he was usually always fair.

You mean he isn't a politician who has someone standing behind him coaching him on what to say and what not to say. He actually talks off the top of his head and doesn't always stick to the prepared speech. He is real. Unlike many of the other politicians who create an public image and a fake face to put forward whenever in public. I believe we get to hear many of his real thoughts...thoughts that no other president would have had the guts to say in public.

Who would have ever thought that politicians would be more credible than the news....well, some politicians. Others like Elizabeth Warren, still are trying to argue that they are a "Native American" even though she only has potentially a few drops of Native American DNA and no tribe affiliation. What a crock and how insulting to the REAL Native Americans who have faced hardships and prejudices related to being Native American. I am smart enough to know when the president is being humorous and talking off the top of his head and when he is acting as President. I think most other thinking Americans are capable of the same thing.

Anything to attack him, on they do try, from feeding fish to how many scoops of ice cream he eats.

I think he's an angel compared to many in our senate and the media. Do wish he'd refrain from Twitter, though.

He uses Twitter because the way the media distorted who he was and what he said. I think he is getting better at using his personal filters on his Twitters...however, that is just him getting used to be the head of one of the major countries in the world and not just the head of his own company. He doesn't have to justify what he says because he has the power to just do what he feels needs to be done.

I used to cringe at some of the stupid things he posted. I am starting to like them because I know that it is genuinely from the President to our eyes....and not proof-read and corrected by some staff member. I like the fact that he is human. The more I hear him actually speak (not read what other people say he said), the more I like the guy as well as admire his obvious natural leadership skills.

Trump's Twitter.

The way to get the true information from the horse's mouth....no reporter twisting it to support their opinions. What we call "news" today was called "yellow journalism". We were smart enough to process the facts and form our own opinions without the help of some so call journalist.

If you think he twitters too much, you are probably finding out what he twitters only from the liberal media who only pics the tweets that make him look foolish. The media is frustrated because he really doesn't need them to talk to the people of the US ... a twittering president doesn't really need the press anymore.

Exactly right. His Twitter is a whole exhibition that proves CNN to be completely correct. No need to look at news sources, go straight to the horse's mouth where you can see a plethora of proof, including the recent one where he called a woman "horseface." With so many of his tweets, if we copied & pasted them here, we'd be booted off on account of it being against the rules for a Christian forum. You're not allowed to behave that way here.

Poe's Law about the post itself, but this picture is worth a winner rating. (I'll point out the obvious that it's not an official poster. It was put up by an artist.) If you think this is offensive, you should have seen the posters, billboards, all over the South "joking" about lynching President Obama.

What, fight for homosexual deviancy and all sorts of sinful behavior, subvert the teachings of 1900+ years of Christian teachings to fit into a perverse modern culture.
Oh no, the horror
