Trump is so powerful he stopped his supporters from commoting hate crimes before a single on of them started!

Good grief..
I KNOW THAT!
But the thing is that Trump promised he was different, and with respect, you do not have to be the second coming of Jesus to be aware of the social situation in a country whose media are literally ejaculating hype and spin in every direction over the activity in the streets, and Trump, if he is half the man he has claimed, should, absolutely damned well should have known that Obama was going to let this go to crap, leave him with a sticky seat to fill, and have been prepared to do something about it before taking office, as I said, with an address or two a week if necessary, letting people know he is not a monster, that he loves his people, that he is there for them, whether they cannot work because they are disabled, or flying high in personal jets, whether they are from a line of immigrants or from settler stock from the old days, whether they are gay as you like, or straight as can be, because that is what people need. They need to know their leaders love and respect their countrymen. All of em. They need to know that they are going to be treated fairly by their leaders. They need to know that no matter what social demographic they fit into, they are important to their leader, and that their views will help inform his time in office, and the things he will do while there.
They do not need more of the same old crap. They need better. Either he is going to give it, or he is not. He needs to figure it out, pronto, otherwise he loses the people before his arse hits the chair behind the desk in the Oval Office.

Why people are scared is not important. Reassuring them is, making them aware of the "manipulation of the media by commie, socialist, lefty pinko types and *insert other meaningless epithet*" is important

And peadophiles think children give them the come on, grabbing a woman by the pussy doesn't mean she let you. It means you did it without permission.

That's not going to work.
Like I said, he loses the people now, and it's going to crap faster than a Nixon seminar on moral superiority and how to retain it.

I used to think that a sexual predator was a heavy title, like a sex offender x 1000. proper malicious rapist or something. come to find out it simply means some dude with star power leaning in for a kiss before asking, and also recognizing people get star struck and will let you move on them without any issues.
thanks. I got woke here. Suddenly I realize everyone is at one point a sexual predator (also known as making the first move).

You are ill-informed or willfully ignorant.
There is no proof of Trump being a "sexual predator" and not even a shred of credible evidence.
I really have to disagree -- with the caveat that I understand evidence is not proof.
Trump pretty much confessed to sexually assaulting a woman. Maybe he was lying... maybe it was all male bravado... maybe he took that extra step from saying "I want to..." to "I did..." It may also be (as indicated by women involved) that they had given him implicit and/or explicit reason to think such, um, gestures would be welcome. I do know that many of the worst allegations remain unsubstantiated at best, and proven false at worst. I also know that all the allegations I've seen are decades old. And I know that I don't know the whole truth and I'm willing to reserve judgment for now. But it is very disturbing to me.
Nevertheless, Trump is our president now, I will give him a chance to prove himself, and give credit where (if) credit is due, unless and until I have reason to do otherwise. And I give him a big fat thumbs up for speaking out about the violence and hate crimes. That's not just what a leader should do, that's what a leader does.

I understand that JesusXst, but clearly Obama is not making any comment here, and if Mr Trump thought it was wise to run for office, he should have been prepared to hit the ground running, because this was always going to be an almighty clusterbang of a time, and he should have known his enemy, and the people of the United States well enough to not only see this crap coming, but have a plan to deal with it calmly and in a way that gave people on ALL sides, hope and a great deal of it.

Me:

Your response:
No, he didn't. You're repeating a media lie. Feel free to quote where this happened though.
Here ya go:
Transcript: Donald Trump’s Taped Comments About Women
There is not just a transcript (the quotes you requested), but also a video for simultaneous confirmation.
I think you're whatever the media tells you to be.
That's all you've got? Resorting to such a childish and insulting accusation, even after I allowed that nothing was proven, and after I offered extenuating circumstances, and after I said I would give him the chance to prove himself, this is really your best response? I have already demonstrated that I have thought this out much farther than either the left- or right media has. My expressed opinion is absolutely nothing like that pushed in the media. I'm not the one blindly accepting "whatever the media tell me to be."
And for what it's worth, I will give you the benefit of the doubt that you really are not condoning or even ignoring sexual assaults on women, but that you really believe it to be a lie. However, I do, and it is very disturbing.
Obama and Hillary I'd like to see them speak up. How about you?
Of course. As I have said many times right here on ATS already.

Wow. Why'd he start it up in the first place? The very guy who started all the recent insulting hate against just about everyone and everybody...now wants it to stop?

Ok...I can dig it. I will...but still...Thats like calling the kettle black....*
*PS The one dollar thing? He's a billionaire...and he could give every man, woman and child in America $1 million dollars EACH...and STILL be a multi-millionaire. Think he would?????
