Our Complex President. How China Views The World.

Every president has his style of giving a talk.  In the case of Trump, he cannot do so without describing whether the person he is talking about is good or bad, he cannot describe anything without using superlatives like fantastic, terrible, outstanding, he cannot complete his talk without attacking some of the mass media for being engaged in fake news, and he certainly places America above all other nations when it comes to accomplishing the impossible because we awesome and brilliant people.

His boasting, I suspect, is due to his general upbeat manner but also, at this particular time, his need to rally the nation but I also believe it is related to a certain degree of insecurity.


Finally, he loves to give his opponents "endearing" nicknames and  has a tendency to repeat himself ad nauseum.

I notice Trump no longer makes those he eventually wants to speak and/or answer questions to stand until they are called upon. Fortunately he allows them to sit. When I was in Military School, and then in service, I remember, particularly in the heat, many of my fellow cadets and "dog faces" would collapse from standing in ranks.  We were all instructed to wiggle our toes to re-start circulation. Those who fainted failed to heed the advice.

There is so much about our president that gives the 'haters' ammunition.

That said, he continues to mostly hit the ball out of the park when judged by many of his accomplishments against partisan odds and purposeful roadblocks that , I daresay, few other presidents could endure or tolerate.
