Does Trump's Temperament Make Him Unfit?
My dear wife seems to have discovered what it means when pundits suggest that Donald Trump may be unfit because he "does not have the temperament to be President."
She says that it's a political code phrase that means he cannot be bought.
DJT just might be better than we have thought.

Unfortunately at this level of politics we aren't so much required to like the candidate. I'm more concerned with the experience issue so my personal belief is in the end Clinton will be elected by majority vote. I'm focusing my efforts and dollars on keeping the Senate red which could be a challenge. In the end Congress is where the real power is and having a Dem President with a Dem congress would worsen an already oppressive taxation system in my opinion.
It's amusing and maddening that the Republicans got stuck with the Communist red color. I wonder who made that red-blue allocation? It's so backwards. Gotta be deliberate.
What you won't hear from Trump is how rosy the economy is if the numbers don't back him up (unlike the present occupant of the White House). It would be nice to hear the truth from our chief executive, even if the news isn't that great.
How his blunt-spoken style will work internationally is another thing that worries politicians, but maybe there are others that would like to trust what an American leader says, even if it isn't what they necessarily want to hear. Hopefully we'll all get to observe that situation.
I have confidence that if we accidentally shot down a russian plane that Trump would pick up the phone, Putin would answer it, and Trump would acknowledge what happened and settle it.
Hillary would deny, deny, deny, and Putin would never believe her- making for some interesting and tense negotiations.
She would be scary in that its easy for misunderstandings to blow up into military conflicts if the other leaders dont trust you.
Seriously, is this the best America can do?
He said Captain Khan was a hero; did you hear that?
He said stop taking in muslims until they can be properly vetted; did you hear that?
He said 'illegals' will be deported not all mexican's; did you hear that?
You see, the real issue is you believe in the media as being moral; that's a problem
Well-versed in the art of communication? You will need to defend that statement with some facts and logical connections. His about as well versed in comms as Andrew Dice Clay, who, by the way ( did you hear that?) actually made all his money without $100M from daddy or imminent domain.
As to being well versed in Communication; he works, and has worked, deal's that the left wing news decries were very good for him. He is a Billionaire [THAT'S WITH A "B"], unlike your Andrew Dice Clay; Ya Hear!
Why do haters always point to the money his father gave him, your daddy to mean to ever lend or give you
money? Hillary Clinton STOLE her money off the safety of the American people, Bernie Sanders stole his money directly from his supporters as did others.
Maybe you should come clean about what your agenda here is; mine is saving the republic from Globalists. Globalists which by the way is why Galt's Gulch, in Atlas Shrugged, was created; each according to his own needs by his own hands.
Smile, life is good when you work for yourself!
I support Gary Johnson first and Trump second. I would vote Green Party before Hillary. I will vote for Gary Johnson, because 1) he is better than Trump, and 2) my vote doesn't count in MA, except to support the third party which needs supporting.
It is cute to slip in the word "haters" as if it applies to me, but you can not make that stick. Trump is very simply giving the election to Hillary with his unnecessary volatile comments, and not taking her to task. He could easily have swept up the disenfranchised Berine people, and perhaps taught them something along the way, but nope.
Regarding his inheritance, if Trump had simply invested in an S&P fund, he would have much more money that he does now. Period. What does that mean? It means, on average, Trump's investments were much poorer than the average in the market. Simple fact. The only interesting part of this history is that he was so bad, he lost almost everything, and then he earned what he has now from almost nothing. That supports his acumen somewhat...and "no" my "daddy" (another cute jibe, attempting to apply immaturity to me) did not give or lend me any money, closing a loan or other. I worked my way through college in three years on a summer internship I won as the #1 STEM student at my HS, and most of the rest was other academic scholarships, and I made more money my first year working as an engineer than my "daddy" did his last year as a physics teacher. What my "daddy" did give me was an awesome upbringing oriented in honesty, scholastics and hard work, far more valuable than money on average.
Let me help you again. I suggested you needed to support Trump's communication skills. Being a billionaire, even one spelled with a "B", is not even remotely an argument for his communication skills. What you essentially are saying is that because Trump has more money than Andrew Dice Clay, he is a better communicator.
Maybe you stop drawing conclusions before reading what I write, and actually respond with a logical argument instead of veiled adolescent insults and unsupported assertions about my positions.
I hope we don't have to wait yet another week to see the next installment of this dogma.

the point is we and I speak for the total population whether they agree with me or not that anyone would be better than Hillary to have as president. so regardless of trump's temperament he is all we have going for us.
I would hope many other Objectivists would do the same.
Maybe I've just come to the "acceptance" stage that he's the candidate, but in retrospect while I consider Cruz perhaps more qualified and knowledgeable on issues, I now consider that Trump's temperament may be exactly what we need right now to really shake up a totally dysfunctional Federal government. I think Cruz or Rubio or some the other good ones would have stuck to the "gradual, piecemeal" approach to fixing things. Which never works.
I don't expect miracles from Trump, if elected, just a better start and more done than any of the others could do.
largely because he doesn't see the box. . DJT is a
person who disregards the box because it has only
hindered him in the past. . this includes "political
correctness," the battle cry of progressives who want
to enslave us to their agendas. . we might say that
DJT can neither be bought nor intimidated. . now,
that is a new combination. -- j

The latest trap is the my-sacrifice-is-at-least-as-great-as-yours-was. If as Rand indicates, sacrifice is the giving up of a greater value for a lesser value, then the comparing of sacrifices is a fool's game. I doubt that the heroic act of the dead solder was such a sacrifice. He considered the USA as a value of great importance which giving his life to protect if necessary was a choice worth making. Trump got sucked into believing that the choices he had made as a businessman were somehow to obtain values of lesser value than he already had. He was a fool to play that disgusting political game.
In chess those sacrifices of giving up a greater value for lesser value are called sham sacrifices which the opponent does not foresee as a eventual loss of material or even the game.
The sacrifice game gives the instigator the pleasure of a malicious joy of making his opponent look like a unfeeling cad.
My wife see's how the MSM is trying to derail Trump and she said to me; Trump must be a great man, otherwise the MSM, DNC and the Catholic Pope wouldn't be so afraid of him!
The idea of looking for the best candidate to do the job has been lost.
I think you wife got it right. Politically correct means going along with the crony establishment.
Trump cant be bought, and they hate him for that and want him GONE.
Hillary buys favors for herself and her power all over the place in exchange for government favors that WE have to pay for.
I would rather someone who just says it like he sees it, regardless of political correctness. At least we get all sides and we can make up our own minds.
The establishment just want to countrol our minds so they get what THEY want. ENOUGH, I SAY !!
.
On top of that, maybe reading clearly could help you; notice he told you when he wrote "..to enhance (her) career"
LOL, keep digging
The last thing Trump does is hides what he thinks. Look at the outright fear of and hatred for him from the crony establishment.
Trump, if anything, is one who pays off the politicians to get them off his back. He doesnt GET gifts. In fact the crony establishment HATES HIM TO THE CORE.
Unpredictable. Why do we want anyone as president you can completely predict what they will do, short of KNOWING if you hit me I will hit you 100 times harder.
Not know how you will be hit or when makes the likelihood of testing him minimal especially since I have a feeling Trump would do the same thing Regan did to Khadafi when he claimed responsibility for the bombing.
After Regan responded in VERY SHORT ODER and with complete decisiveness it was 30 years before that weasel popped his head out of the sand.
Almost immediately when that weak-kneed blabbermouth Obama was elected everyone know how weak he was. Everyone in this world has been pushing and testing us since.
