Your perceptions of him are distorted by your own political bias.

To begin with the office of US President isn't a dictatorship. It is a position limited by legal frameworks over the actions which can be taken in response to rioting and looting. Trump can deploy troops, but in NATO countries that is always the last option. For now the emphasis is on State Governors challenging and confronting the racist narrative (which the democrat ones are promoting) and using the police to maintain order (which those democrat governors are failing at).

True, but the checks and balances only work if the checkers and balancers do their jobs too. If a party controlling Congress appoints party-friendly judges across the judiciary and works hand in hand with a President of the same party, then it's possible to step around those checks and balances. And if the same party controls a lot of state governments which then institute gerrymanders to help the party control Congress...

Obama implemented a crack down to reduce the number of black deaths cause by white people (including the police) and this has been inherited by Trump. As such, black deaths caused by whites (including the police) are actually at record lows. You are being swept along by a racist narrative being promoted by the left for their own political gain.

If people want to go to a Trump rally, and it is stated they do so at their own risk of coronavirus then what is the problem with that?

The problem is that it's an infectious disease. You catching it at the rally puts at risk everyone you come into contact with afterwards. This is exactly how the virus spread so rapidly in Italy and Spain early in the pandemic, when tens of thousands of people attended a soccer match.

And sure, it may well spread exactly the same way out of all these BLM protests. Put simply, the virus doesn't care about your politics.

Trump is not a narcissist, he doesnt display several of the criteria used to diagnose the disorder. Furthermore, those psychologists engaging in his character assassination have not examined him in a clinical setting to offer any diagnosis. This actually puts them in violation of the medical ethics they are bound by, so should be struck from the bar. Its unprofessional conduct.

Mind you if all you do is accept what the media tells you about Trump without going onto YouTube and seeing what he actually said or did during his speeches, its no wonder why you think he`s a narcissist. But when someone has left leaning political beliefs their mental filter screens out everything that doesnt support the way they want to see things lol.

It's not just people with "left leaning political beliefs" who are critical of Trump. But perhaps your own mental filter classifies every critic of Trump as left leaning. ;-)

Hmm.. perhaps my description of them as "losers" was a bit unkind. But the fact remains that non of them have ever won an election ? They may be Patriots, but they are working purely on political theory ? 

There are always smaller groups of people on the far-left and far-right calling for change.

Sometimes they become a major political party but when they do it suggests problems in a society. Namely, that the main political parties are totally out of touch with the electorate on poverty and racism (far-left) and immigration (far-right).

There isn't a serious poverty or racist problem in the US, despite claims to the contrary. One black death via a cop isn't a widespread problem and the total black deaths from whites (including white cops) is very low. Far lower than any other racial group deaths in the US. Now there is a problem with socialism going to far and problems with illegal immigration.

Thats why Trump got elected who isn`t far right but moderate. Trump is a correction to re-assert the balance in US society and its not complete yet so I predict his re-election. As for the far-left they should be ignored at the moment. They have nothing valid to contribute, Obama took the US too far to the left which is still being corrected, and with some of the extremist anarchy views amongst them no good would come from pandering to them.

Where is the support in middle America for the democrats right now?

Its the far-left up in arms, not those who occupy the centre ground. For neutral observers they dont have a problem seeing Brexit happening or Trump getting elected, and Trump getting re-elected.

Wouldn't all these Republicans with the Lincoln project be considered the middle ground?  I don't see any of them at the protests but they clearly stated that they would vote against Trump.

Um, there in the polls?

With the greatest of respect, people supporting Biden consist of just a tiny bit more than the "far-left". Otherwise you're suggesting that >40% of the American people, including members of that Lincoln Project, are "far-left". Or do you genuinely believe that the members of the Lincoln Project politically classify as "far-left"?

So he is pi ss ing off politicians on the right and on the left?

He is p***ing off Republicans.  If the Democrats take the Senate and presidency it won't be because of their own efforts but because of the loss of faith by your typical Republicans.

I wonder if the "Lincoln project" supports the left in removing the Lincoln statue in Boston.

Doubtful.  They are conservatives and Republicans after all.

Trump supporters are unknowingly Putin's 5th Column destroying America from within. Trump is knowingly their leader.  He is scared to death Biden will win. He has done more damage to this country than the rosenbergs.

Trump is a bully. Which means he is a coward that needs his crowd of groupies. His supporters are his groupies, just like the junior high bully that knocks the books out of the hands of a little student. They laugh and giggle and are so entertained when bully trumpo calls someone a name.  you would think they would tire of his silliness but no, they are too far gone. Children themselves really. Ignorant and gullible.  They love it when he makes up a new name, or when he calls someone fat or ugly.  It's really sad how sick they all are.  they are the hitler youth.

I thought Cookie was thanked for his contribution.  It was opinion.  If there are facts, bring them.

What is going on here is there are people who dont like Trump or right wing politics.

It is comments like : "If we don't do any more testing, we won't have any new cases of the virus."  Not an exact quote, but close enough.  That mindset belongs in a communist media controlled state like Russia or China or North Korea.  Lie to the people to keep them in line worshiping dear leader.   Either he is manipulative or clueless.

They behave like idiot children screaming because little Donnie and his friends ate the last piece of cake.  They disgust me and I hope their reward in November is a landslide victory for the Bad Orange Man.  Maybe they'll either grow up or grow a set and defend what they SAY they value.  Pathetic bunch of sore losers, IMO.

People on the far left do not support Biden.

Is Sessions a part of the Lincoln Project?  Actual question...

No.  I'm talking about Republicans that aren't going to vote for Trump.  It's a much larger group than just the Lincoln Project.

I don't get what all this fuss is about The Lincoln Project ? It's run by a bunch of losers who have never won an election ? Granted, they have quite slick promotional videos (their founders consist of a lawyer and a public affairs strategist, so they know a thing or two about creating publicity), but they don't offer an alternative ? (other than to vote Democrat, which they are currently recommending). 

The goal has been to deprive him of his base sufficiently to defeat him.  His numbers have only ever inched UP and it's because of the media led daily lynching we've seen him subjected to.  Let the spastics on the Left keep right on lynching.  No one is listening except for the other spittle-flecked, wild-eyed true believers amongst them.

Ahh...okay.

I think we're going to find, after all is said and done, that Sessions and Trump are (and have been) much more closely aligned than what their public 'spat' portrays.  Just my opinion.
