Trump: I'm thankful I've made 'a tremendous difference in this country'

[GMDino]

Man you supporters must love having a guy who thinks so highly of himself that he's thankful on Thanksgiving for himself.

What an ahole.

Quote:When asked on Thanksgiving what he was thankful for, President Donald Trump said he was thankful for his family before talking at length about the positive impact he believes his presidency has made on the country.


"What are you most thankful for, Mr. President?," a member of the media asked as Trump took questions from reporters at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, where he's spending Thanksgiving with his family.


"For having a great family, and for having made a tremendous difference in this country. I've made a tremendous difference in the country," the president responded, as documented in a video published by The Hill on Twitter.


Trump continued, "This country is so much stronger now than it was when I took office that you wouldn't believe it." He claimed that foreign leaders regularly compliment him on the country's increased strength.

Some pundits on social media have suggested Trump's comments were more about himself than the country.


"President Trump says he is most thankful for himself," Washington Post columnist Brian Klaas tweeted in reference to Trump's answer.


The president's comments followed an exchange earlier this week during which Trump said he believed he would again be named Time magazine's person of the year.


"I can't imagine anybody else other than Trump. Can you imagine anybody other than Trump?" he said. The magazine named Trump person of the year in 2016.



The president has a long history of self-promotion. As a real estate mogul, Trump was known for putting his name in large letters on his projects. 

And, as president, he has consistently given his administration an "A" or "A+" — although many experts don't agree with such a grade. 

Of course that was after he asked for locations of the soldiers he was talking too, asked how many were there and told them he knew they had faulty equipment.

Via video, of course.  Can't be bothered to travel when there's golfing to do.

This comment relates to personal identity as nationalism relates to national identity.

I agree with him on this. We'd probably differ on if it's a positive or negative difference, though.

Trump supporters/defenders love egotistical insecure Dictators who think nothing but of themselves. It's a reflection of our society, and we have more of these people out there than we'd like to admit obviously with the amount of support he gets.

I never thought people liked insecure selfish bullies, who attack kids with chemical weapons and are gleeful about it. But plenty do.

Unless it's Obama.

Then they count the number times he says "I" in his speeches and accuse him of constantly campaigning and having the biggest ego ever.

They can ignore everything that Trump says or does though because all they care about is a rubber stamp on what the GOP controlled congress passes....hey....wait a minute!  They barely passed anything and now they lost the House because of it.

Weird.
