So, in other words, his continuing supporters really are that delusional.

President Trump is fabulous. I read all of his tweets. He might just be the best president in my lifetime if he keeps going like this.
The real problem is that he is so brilliant that the vast majority of people can not appreciate him.
I would rather have an outspoken Republican president than a secretive Democratic president like Hillary Clinton would have been.
He is standing up to North Korea, he is addressing our trade deficit, the Mideast became much quieter after he ordered the dropping of the Mother of All Bombs and his responses to Syrian use of chemical warfare. His speech defending the bombing of the Syrian chemical weapons facility was brilliant.
The Republicans have lowered taxes for the majority of Americans, especially renters and famiies. He is the best friend of the taxpayer since George W. Bush, who got rid of the marriage tax penalty, issued three rebates to low income taxpayers and allowed low income taxpayers to pay zero capital gains taxes in many instances. The Democrats only want to increase taxes.
Unemployment is at an extreme low. Some people are waking up to the fact that we can achieve more than a 3% annual growth rate in GDP. It will happen despite the doubters. China and India can do it. So can we.
All of you who don't believe in him are entitled to your opinion. But derogatory comments don't outweigh his accomplishments.
The real problem is that he is so brilliant that the vast majority of people can not appreciate him. Yes, this is the Real problem, too brilliant for us mortals
you are entitled to your opinion
and it's nice for you to post yours here
We should all be able to express our opinion of Trump

You guys just don't get it. He's delighted to have you denigrate him - it keeps him at the center of attention
I disagree Prof Gill. He loves being the center of attention but he seriously feels bad when folks don't admire him.
Anyway very few pay attention to this thread.

Any high end legal team, and most others, would be fully aware of the consequences of what Mr. Giuliani said last night. For example, are there any campaign finance, tax or civil liability implications? State law violations in any of the states in which the conduct was alleged to have occurred? Certainly one would want an opinion on the criminal jeopardy, if any, from someone who knows what they are talking about. I wonder if they have a plan or are just sort of doing a bat sh#t crazy hope it works out approach.

You guys just don't get it. He's delighted to have you denigrate him - it keeps him at the center of attention. So, keep piling on and cursing the Donald, and keep avoiding the issue of resurrecting the DP, and come the next presidential election he's back in office.
Confirmation bias may be good for the soul, but it's counter productive
Yep. There's a myopia among the Trump haters, including the MSM. They're so focused on sticking it to him and denigrating any and all of his supporters, they fail see how their behavior alienates moderates. It helps Trump.
If Trump can help secure improved relations with North Korea and the market doesn't tank, there's a chance the GOP will maintain control of Congress after the midterms.
So, you guys just keep on spewing your Daily Hate. It may be cathartic, but it's not really helping your end game.

When you tell that many lies on daily basis, it is impossible for his staff of fixers to keep track of them all.

*“A supreme sexist.”—Barbara Res, former executive vice-president of Trump Organization, who also said “he thinks he’s God.”
“Like an 11-year-old child”— Steve Bannon. The now estranged advisor also allegedly complained that he was “sick of being a wet nurse to a 71-year-old man.”
*Working with Trump is “like trying to figure out what a child wants”—White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh
“The White House has become an adult day care center”—Republican senator Bob Corker of Tennessee
*“Morally unfit to be president,” “unethical” and “untethered to truth”—former FBI director James Comey, who also compared the US president to a mafia boss.
“Less a person than a collection of terrible traits”—Trump’s former chief economic adviser Gary Cohn.
Someone who “sucks up and shits down”—former Fox News chief and confidant Roger Ailes.

No one that works for Trump that any expertise seems to think Trump is brilliant,
queue Norton's list
Who thinks he is brilliant?
Who thinks he is doing a great job?
Fascist think this, you have to be a fascist to be that blind

Democrats lose elections because they talk about government policy, no one cares
Republicans win elections because they sell emotion, racism, hate, and the 3 G's
God, Guns, and Gays
pack it in Dems, you can't beat em, you don't have it in you to compete on their terms
Yea, it is terribly sad that the Dems haven't had control of the House, Senate, or White House in living memory. They should just disband.

The real problem is that he is so brilliant that the vast majority of people can not appreciate him.
I liked that bedtime story better when it was called, The Emperor's New Clothes. Back then, the grown-ups telling the story weren't trying to pretend that the irony and the satire somehow established the story as being factual.
I would rather have an outspoken Republican president than a secretive Democratic president like Hillary Clinton would have been.
Speculation about what would, or would not, have occurred if Hillary were president is a favored GOP canard: a distraction from the FACTS that exist in the real world, as opposed to Trump's alternative universe of distractions, deceptions, lies and concealment.
Trump is outspoken, but he has no regard for the truth. He lies and contradicts himself, and wants that to be the new normal for presidential decorum. Soon, nobody will be able to trust anything he says. Even worse, after Trump is gone, his political sycophants will take up his habit of lying to the public.
This morning, reporters directly asked Trump to reconcile prior denials - he made on camera - of any knowledge of the $130,000 porno pussy payment, with statements a day ago that he knew all about the payment, and that he had reimbursed his lawyer, Michael Cohen, for making the payment. Trump's response was to say, "We haven't changed our story. You'll have to go back, and check again, what I said."
This is where Trump is, again: denying the existence of video footage of himself making a statement a few days earlier. Trump is absolutely insane, nefarious and diabolical.
Trump is to lying as Thomas Kinkade (The Painter of Light) is to painting. There is a prodigious, even obscene, output of low-quality schlock. Idiots who don't know any better admire what they see, and will defend it against legitimate criticism with a virulent fanaticism that borders on the insane.
It was both amusing, and telling, that Hannity and Giuliani got together on Fox News to completely destroy Trump's legal strategy about the porno pussy payoff. Hannity said that the porno pussy payoff was funneled by a lawyer through a shell company. Giuliani called that bid, and raised it with Trump personally paying back the money. It was like Hannity and Giuliani were in some sort of contest with each other, about who could reveal the most damaging inside information about Trump.
It just further showed that Trump is insane, and he has surrounded himself with people who are insane.

They did a fine job all that important legislation. Immigration reform, new gun laws, raising minimum wage - living wage, carbon neutrality... and about those burdensome student loans.
Good work on so many fronts.
