You seriously believe that or do you believe any price is acceptable as long as you get what you want.

You really seem to be impressed with your ability to know what someone you've never met thinks. I "know" very little to nothing about what or who the inner Trump is. Outwardly, the little (filtered through various pro and con press and editorial coverage and personal or anecdotal stories) that I have heard or seen doesn't give me the picture of someone who lacks the balls to confront others. I thought that he would be crushed in the primary and presidential debates, but he pretty much dominated and mopped the floor with a lot of his opponents. I haven't seen any fear or reluctance in his face to face meetings with foreign leaders. I don't know what he really believes about what Putin, the Saudis and Kim told him, nor how much of what he says about it is tactical pablum for public consumption rather than true reactions that he felt it better to play down. I have learned to disregard a lot what politicians say about their political maneuvers and wait for the results.

I am not unduly critical or dissatisfied with results, especially economic, and regulatory rollbacks and judicial picks. On the contrary, I'm happy with most of them.

BTW, getting back to the subject of this thread, did you watch the video, and if so, what do you think about it?

Keep believing, Trump is slowly destroying what’s been accomplished over the past 70 years, but as you’ve said you’re good with that.
I never watch your movies.
Find a transcript and I’ll read it.

I believed that you didn't watch the video I posted. You have confirmed my belief. Now if you are done hi-jacking this thread with your usual Trump hate, can you focus on the subject of this thread.

Can you please provide a few examples of significant American ideals that Trump is destroying?

He must be doing it very, very slowly, because I don't see it. He has overstepped a few times and the courts have responded as they should, and kept him in check. Same thing happened with Obama. That's exactly how it's supposed to work.

The Constitution has not been changed, the courts are still there keeping him in check, the press is still offering coverage of Trump that's 98% negative everywhere but Fox, Jim Acosta still gets called on at press conferences despite arguing with Trump about everything instead of reporting like he' supposed to, and there are multiple investigations into "collusion".

What is Trump dismantling? Other than high black unemployment, that is? Has he declared himself a dictator for life and I missed that announcement?
