It really is a moot point. Donald Trump is the President-Elect unless a good number of electors get a wild hair up their "you know what". Other than that, he will sworn in on Jan. 20th as President. I respect the office of President, but I have no respect for a "twitter fool". Like Average Joe said, Donald Trump does not represent my values. I don't mock the disabled. I don't devalue people based on their religion, race, gender or sexual preference. I am pro-choice, although I don't think I could ever have had an abortion. I don't think I have the right to make that decision for others. I believe in investing in public schools rather than dismantling the public school system in favor of charter or private schools. I believe that my efforts to help others are effort to empower them rather than enable them. I do not believe that Social Security and Medicare are entitlements. I worked for my SS and I pay monthly for my Medicare.

If Mr. Trump can't handle satire pokes to him from various TV shows (Like Saturday Night LIVE, who's satired EVERY President since being on the air), or criticism from news media, (Like CNN), how's he going to handle criticism from lawmakers, both from his own party, the GOP, or the Democrats? President Obama has been bombed with criticism ever since Day 1, yet he very rarely lashes out at news media (He very recently said on 60 minutes, that if 'all I watched was Fox News, I'd be upset with me as well')
 
What if Mr. Trump says or does something that even provokes criticism from right-wing media such as Fox News or Rush Limbaugh? Is he going to suggest they need to cease broadcasting too?
 
Just my opinion, no more, no less.

To think just when it was safe to go in Target. Now we have Trump at the Head of our country. Remember he can call you to serve.

the MOST non-transparent POTUS-e I have ever seen. No tax returns, no stock holdings (and not required to again until 2018:?????)
 
this is outrageous. For these facts alone, I would not vote for him if I were part of the EC. Shenanigans.

Unless he is more transparent with the money, he is in violation of upholding the constitution on the day he takes the oath.

day he takes the oath.

@joepyeweed :
 
So really they shouldn't be able to appoint him as President. Watch this merry_go_round.

Well technically, he has until January 20th to get his business affairs in order such that he doesn't violate the oath on the day he takes it.... But the electors vote on December 19th. If I were an elector, I would want some type of legal documentation that this has been done before I voted.
 
If Ivanka and her hubby are going to be close advisors, then they would need to separate from the business as well.

There's been articles about the millions of $$$ to protect the Trumps in Trump Tower, etc. In a surprise move, the Obama Administration is proposing $35 Million to be included in the upcoming Federal stopgap spending bill for Trump Tower Security.
 
Let's hear the right-wingers cry foul over this, because, after all, it's Obama's staff wanting the money spent.
