f his strong relationship with Chairman Kim,” she said. “And while the First Lady hasn’t met him, the President feels like she’s gotten to know him too.”
A strong relationship with a murder and a god like tyrant? This ok with all of you?

Considering how many very vocal Trump critics and detractors claim to "know all about him" and profess the ability to read behind everything the man says as if they believe they're inside his very skin on a daily basis, in spite of the fact that few if any of them have ever met the man, let alone had personal time with him, this criticism by you strikes me as... odd.

Not me Down, I"m an old man now and have voted for many more losing candidates than winning ones. It's the younger generations that will need the luck if they are to get though their old age as I have.

OP here Mr. Guitar. I guess that you must have missed my reply to Burd earlier. Burd's reply was easily expected as it is a standard reply used by many here to de legitimize peoples ability to evaluate others. This is the 21st Century and this is not rocket science. Even a few courses in psychology and neuroscience can allow anyone to develop even simple skills in understanding human behavior.
And how about poker players. it's not all luck you know or just card skill. Any good poker player knows that people have what they call ''tells''. Tells are characteristics that can give away almost the exact type of hand is being held and once knowing this can manipulate that player to over play or fold their hand. Simple stuff.
Did you know that now it is studied that experts can tel what is going on in another persons mind by the simple twitch of an eye or the flick of a facial muscle, let alone the positioning of their arms or legs??
Of course if you did not know all of these things I suppose it would be simple to think that Trump was unknowable just by watching him on TV. But if you do know this already, then why do you believe that I do not have at least a rudimentary ability to evaluate the characteristics of an open book like Trump.
Too bad so many people have lost their objectivity to really discuss these matters on ATS.
what I hear you saying is "Orange man bad!" does that sum it up?

President Trump may not even know when he is telling the truth and when he is not. It may just flow from his mouth because it sounds good to him.
I'd hope this would be apparent to everyone at this point. While that trait doesn't really mean anything when you're a shady real estate developer, as President of the United States it's a perversion of everything the office supposedly stands for.
As far as parsing a sentence to scream "Liar!!!" or making the amazing amount of leaps of logic that the OP has just made to simply reinforce a confirmation bias, the only people that care are the "Orange Man Bad" crowd.
