There's more than one way to skin a cat. Pain is just weakness leaving the body. (When you are really hurting) And I used to really hate hearing "this is going to hurt me more than you"
I don't think the OP is being honest in his reason for starting this blog. I believe he is asking rhetorical questions and hoping this would turn into another opportunity to bash Trump, which it obviously has, to the surprise of no one.
What I really like about Trump is his willingness to tackle tough issues that his predecessors never seemed willing to do. This is due to the fact that he is beholden to no one. He didn't sell himself out to special interests to get elected and he won't need to rely on speaking engagements to get rich after he leaves office. Trump is a street fighter and a counter puncher and what he lacks in style he makes up for in tenacity. Trump forces us to examine inconvenient truths about ourselves which makes many feel very uncomfortable. A lot of the issues like trade and immigration have needed to be dealt with for a long time and Trump is not kicking the can down the road or trying to sugar coat them.
And I especially like the way he has tricked the main stream media into exposing themselves as the partisan hacks that they are. He has also helped, reveal the corruption at the FBI, IRS, and the other federal bureaucracies, albeit most of it was done unwittingly.
So we are being asked if we like a man who has warts and flaws and is very much a sinner. Well my answer is yes I like him because I think he was very much what was needed at this particular moment in history.
Why don't you tell us why you think he is such an awful man Harbal. He seems like he has raised some pretty good kids. He also seems to be trying to keep his campaign promises. He may brag abd bs a little, but name one person from New York/New Jersey who doesn't.
