Is he this ego driven? Really?

He probably wanted to go back at the press. If you hadnt noticed he loves them.
You know, if he wanted to just govern and not even give the press the time of day, I don't think his voters would care one bit. If he lives up to expectations, I think he wins reelection in a walk (even if the press is still trying to derail him).

I think he wants to govern and he screws with the press for entertainment.....or because he is nuts.

Extremely sad.

He is still crying about the inauguration crowd size. He is calling practically all media, liars.

Sad day for America.

You'll disagree ... but I really think it's the latter.
I mean, coming on a national debate and open up with assuring people your penis is adequate ... that's just kinda nuts. I think he does have very serious insecurity issues, or very serious issues with needing validation at every turn.

He's got the best issues....the best!

He is not crazy. I think he views the media as the opposition and for some reason just wants to fight with them. He is conducting business as he promised, but he spends time every day fighting with the media too. It is definitely odd.

Reminds me of several of our friends on this board.......you are NOT one of them. And yes I agree that Trump has major ego issues.

You definitely won't get an argument from me on that one. There is also a nice collection that I find of great value to the board, even if I don't agree with them ... and in many cases especially because I don't agree with them. You are one of those.

Crazy is very relative ... I'll probably throw the word crazy around quite a bit with him, and I don't think he's crazy, it's just a convenient term. I do think he does have some rather significant psychological issues. But as somebody else pointed out, in a lot of cases those issues are what drive some people to the status they've received. We'll have to wait and see if his issues end up being a detriment to his leadership and judgment or not. It's no secret that I can't stand him, so it's nearly impossible to be completely unbiased in my views of him, but I do try. I was at the hospital with my wife on Monday and watched Spicer's press conference ... there were a number of things in there that I agreed with and thought showed promise.

He's a unique cat, that's for certain. Interested to see how the process for the wall thing turns out, that will give us a good indication of how he handles most things.

I can't disagree here. I guess I am in the category of "I am not sure what he is doing all the time". If he can come close to doing the things he "wants" to do in most cases I think they are better than what we were doing. I just want him to succeed for the same reason I wanted Obama to succeed and he doesn't annoy me nearly as much as Obama did

There are many instances in which I would get no joy from saying "see, I told you so" ... and this is definitely one of them because it means he's screwed up our country. I don't want him to be able to do some of the things he's said, but overall I do want him to be successful.
