^Its ridiculous really. I don't know if any country has the perfect health care system but its a bit rich coming from Trump.
 
it is ridiculous. but don't forget this is the guy we're discussing: Trump calls Dems who didn't clap during State of the Union 'treasonous' and 'un-American'

President Trump said on Monday that Democrats who didn’t applaud during his State of the Union address — including Rep. Nancy Pelosi — were “treasonous” and “un-American.”

“They would rather see Trump do badly, OK, than Trump do well,” the president said during an event promoting tax reform in Blue Ash, Ohio, on Monday afternoon. “It’s very selfish. And it got to a point where I really didn’t want to look too much during the speech over to that side. Because honestly it was bad energy.”

Republicans in the House chamber applauded often during Trump’s Jan. 30 State of the Union address, his first as president, while Democrats, led by Pelosi, resisted many of Trump’s applause lines.

“You’re up there, you’ve got half the room going totally crazy, wild, they loved everything, they want to do something great for our country,” Trump recalled, “and you’ve got the other side — even on positive news, really positive news — they were like death. And un-American. Un-American.”

Trump then pointed to the back of the room of the Cincinnati factory where he was speaking.

“Somebody said treasonous. Yeah, I guess, why not?” the president said to laughter from the crowd. “Can we call that treason? Why not.”

treason? he's an idiot.

Remember when conservatives were outright saying they wanted Obama to fail and were going to do everything they possibly could to make him a 1 term president? But now anything short of supporting the president in literally everything is treason? I love the blatant hypocrisy.

"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."

I don't think it's entirely fair or honest to label all conservatives and all Republicans as diehard trump supporters. Some are but many aren't.
 
I think that Trump is a good notion about how well capitalism works.

Although you people have a shittiest president ever you are still outrunning the chinese in economy atleast.

Luckily our president has only power over the foreign policy and even that must be done according how prime minister wants it to be done.

Which isn't particularly relevant. The office of president in a parliamentary republic isn't a head of government office like in the US. So it's not a comparable position.

It's a satirical ("fake") tweet, but sadly it's believable. More believable, i guess, than trump's "real" statements.
