3) Ironic you bring up his ability to act in Syria. You may want to research the previous administration's Non-missteps.

 4) And those that said he had no chance to win were just clueless; but of course they have it figured out now. Of course lying is a big deal, but you may want to have that discussion with Matt. 

5) You did bring him in if you are a citizen of the United States and you actually enabled it if you voted for someone other that Clinton. How can we stop you from "having to pay the price"? Be careful; what you ask for may come as a surprise to Breech

1) So Trump is "adjusting" to intelligence professionals now? That's what you call hampering their investigation into Russia's spying and attack on the US election. All that the sort of "misstep" any beginner or Washington outsider could make?

What would Trump have to do, before you recognized that criticism of him is based upon his own actions/incompetence and not just "them" being awesome? What would appear more than a "misstep"? 

2) http://www.cnn.com/2017/04/05/politics/kfile-rubio-tillerson-syria-attack/
Trumpsters see no use for diplomacy and alliances, so no harm done there. Allies will look to other leaders and reshuffle alliances. Enemies will see the chaos as an opportunity to test and expand--as we see now in Syria and North Korea. Trump will handle N. Korea without China.  LOL . . . no, wait. . . . that is not funny at all.

3) Why, what does Fox News say about Obama in Syria? They don't say that he got the US bogged down in a ground war there, do they? Do they say he destroyed US credibility when he got Syria to eliminate its chemical weapons without killing a lot of Syrians?  Bad when "they" do it. When Trump does it we don't really need credibility. After all, what can the rest of the world do--"be mad"?  Assad got mad--and used Sarin gas on children, right after Trump's secretary of state said the Syrian people would decide Assad's fate.

Putin and Assad know Obama's gone. If, on a random whim, Trump decides to act in Syria, how will his friend Putin react? Will Republicans justify the resulting mess by blaming Obama?

4) Lying is a big deal when "they" do it. And why do you keep bringing up Trump's win as if that were some vindication of judgment? Some pundits did not predict how badly misinformed Americans would respond positively to xenophobia. That doesn't make any of Trump's actions smart or right or good for the country. If Lawrence O'Donnell was wrong, that doesn't make it right that Trump throws the executive branch into chaos at a time when clear policy direction is needed. 

5) I did not throw away my vote.  And we can stop this country from paying the price by impeaching Trump or applying the 25th Amendment or pressuring him to resign.  Which option is most favorable will depend on what opportunities future "missteps" provide.
