I've noticed that much of the intellectual dishonesty here begins with the word "So....", then followed by some kind of straw man argument.Protected by diplomatic protocol? No. I would like to see our President act more like an adult in public, though.Yeah, virtue signalling is very effective.. And I've got some news for you. Britain has had a longer history, and until Trump, were even more creative in fabricating news. Now you think their fake new media should be protected by diplomatic protocol ffs?Nothing in particular. We all know "the way he is". We're no longer expecting anything better.\No, but so what?Do you think his calling local news reports of the protests "fake news" was diplomatic?
Let's just keep our standards as low as we can.

I've actually come to understand something on this, over the last couple of months. I would never, ever act like he does in public. And certainly not if I held a public office. Neither would my wife, neither would my kids. We'd be embarrassed to catch ourselves acting so childish, undignified, uncontrolled and unintelligent like that. We'd be embarrassed to be around it, for that matter.
But maybe that's just how Trump fans behave in public. Maybe that's why you like him so much, he's just like you. That would actually explain, at least to some degree, how it seems you don't realize what an embarrassment he is. You're not seeing anything that you wouldn't do yourself. So what the hell, watching the President of the United States act like that is SO COOL.
Hey, we're all different.
That's my current theory, anyway.

So, in your theory, those whom you don't like, are revealed to be childish buffoons?
That is a little self serving do you not think?
Nope, I think we're all different. And I've said a zillion times here, commitment to a hardcore partisan ideology not only distorts perceptions and thought processes, it can infect perfectly intelligent people. Like a virus, such as herpes.
I'm pretty comfortable with this theory. Just my opinion.
