Ironically, he is saying that he isn't one the "American people".

He is insufferable.
Deleted an initial tweet that missed a few of them off and called them "sick"!
Hope those founders knew what they were doing when they dictator-proofed the system, because he dearly wants to be one.
But that is the system in the US - he didn't design it. A similar thing can happen in the U.K., and many other countries.

Yeah but wait til he actually does something etc.
It's actually starting to get scary now.
I'm just saying, if you live in a democracy you have to live with the will of the people, on whatever basis of election the country has decided on. You won't always get the person you personally voted for. I wish he hadn't won as well but he did.
I just think that if people use this to undermine democracy then the next President could be a lot more dangerous than this guy.
I think Tapper's comment this week, "Stop whining and get to work", was the most apt of the presidency so far.
It's a dangerous path - I'm not saying you or anyone in particular but some people seem to be implying, or straight out saying, that he shouldn't be President even though he was elected as such.
That's a disappointing list, I expected better from him.
Big problem there. There was far more significant undermining during the election by foreign powers and the FBI director than any group of people protesting.
Surely this can't last four months, let alone four years...
Who do we think will direct 'The Triumph of the Will II' for Trump?
No, you're right and maybe I shouldn't have said about "whingeing" - I didn't mean it like it seems to have been taken. Of course he must be held to account.
I am talking more about the people who see, to be saying or implying that he shouldn't be POTUS despite winning the election.
There is no perfect system sadly.
Because most of them don't pay taxes but some are on welfare for example. They need to go after the people who hires them and pay cash - landscaping and construction companies are guilty.
That's easy...
Stephen Bannon - he is a filmmaker after all!
Look up his filmography...he excels in the field of propaganda!
You don't think they have a point considering the influence that was brought to bear on the election and the fact that more of them voted for his rival than for him?
Wait, illegals are supposed to not be in the system, they can't legally access to welfare. At least not if the system respects its own rules.
He's managed to piss off the media, the judiciary, and the intelligence community - all in the space of 4 weeks. I somehow doubt that's a good strategy.He's decided to take on the one group no politician can afford to take on.
This bodes well for the eventual destruction of the GOP.

He seems to think the electoral college elected him as the dictator.
I guess I'll be watching more ABC and CBS then
illegal Mexicans are less likely to engage in violent crime, less likely to be on welfare and far less likely to be unemployed compared to their US counter-parts.
What is not like that? To access welfare you need to be at the very least a resident, if the administration does its work the illegals either become legals or they don't access to welfare.
I'm not telling you that it doesn't happen because I know that states don't respect their own rules and then blame everyone but themselves, I'm just saying that legally it can't happen.
He's literally going to run out of characters on Twitter soon if he carries on. If he adds a few more agencies to the list he's fecked.Seriously don't fall for Barros's scaremongering and propaganda. Yeah there is a small percentage of illegal immigrants who slip through the net and claim some form of benefits, but 1. They are often in desperate need, 2. It's a tiny percentage about 2 or 3% at most 3. It's hard enough for anyone in the US to get benefits let alone illegal immigrants.
The problem is actually the contrary in my opinion, that successive administrations and their concurrent congresses have made the President too powerful. Obama is also to blame in this.
"The will of the people" does not mean the implementation of a temporary dictator until the next election roles around. There are 3 equal branches, of which the legislative is arguably supposed to be the preeminent one. The President can do whatever the office is allowed to do, within the limits of the law and no further. Recently that included that he could not infringe upon the rights of green card holders and others. Congress though, by a large enough majority can possibly change the immigration laws.
Agree. The checks and balances are in place, which is good.
Fox aren't known for their investigative reporting of the Republican Party. So why this? Impeach Trump to get President Pence?Even Fox News been doing their own digging on this story
John Roberts says during questioning by white house counsel, Flynn had a "full recollection" of the calls with the ambassador. This was after telling FBI agents he was unsure if sanctions were talked about.

In four weeks, he has already thrown the office of the POTUS into the gutter. I've never seen anything like this. If this was a movie, people would have called it unrealistic.
Because (as many here have predicted) it's now gone too far and he's fast becoming indefensible and toxic even to Fox News. Freelance wankers like Hannity will still be able to ignore it all and promote their hate driven agenda bullshite, but the actual news side of Fox will have to start attacking him and picking him apart because only the seriously uneducated and very stupid or deluded won't be able to see the truth. Everyone else can see it, and they will be questioning why Fox isn't reporting on it. Yes a lot of their viewers are stupid, but many aren't, and if they want to be taken even the tiniest bit seriously they have to report properly. Also, they will be taking offence to all the constant fake news attacks, it will upset any true journalist which is why Shep Smith and Chris Wallace are hitting back hard.
You have to separate the news part of FoxNews with the pundit/entertainment part (Hannity, Carlson, O'Reilly, Fox & Friends etc). The news part is more aligned with journalism, albeit with Murdoch's preferred editorial slant. They are however pretty good and have a lot of journos from other networks working for them. John Roberts, Bill Hemmer, and Chris Wallace for example, all used to work for CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS. Its mainly O'Reilly and Hannity that are the main pro-Trump agitators.
Think it might be Terry Jones, the Qur'an burning pastor guy.
BTW - Its pretty clear what Trump's strategy is with the presser and recent tweets. It's likely a Bannon inspired preemptive policy of delegitimizing the media so that when the eventual bad news on Russia hits the streets, his core supporters will either not believe it or be neutral about it.

I sometimes post on reddit and today someone finally replied to one of my crappy posts! The problem is I have no idea if what this guy said is legit or not, what would you say?

The right dont give a feck about the future or how it affects everyone. The US is poisoning its waters just like it did with its food chain.
