Why do people seriously believe that presidential administrations are motivated by petty childishness? Do people really believe it to be possible that someone incompetent could make it as far as the presidency?

There's far more going on that we are unaware of, be it malice or good intentions, thus it is absurd to believe that our leaders are man children. We are too far removed from primary sources to know the truth.

When the president consistently acts childishly (with corroboration from his staff, videos of him pushing others aside for photo ops, and countless other shenanigans), does one rationally conclude he is childish, or that he is playing "10-dimensional chess?" (as his most zealous champions inevitably conclude)

A serious question: what would the president have to do, within reason, for you to consider him petty, childish, or incompetent?

r u sure that you're well informed?

>videos of him pushing others aside for photo ops

Check it out. The Montenegro PM stepped on Trumps foot, both of them react to that.

Ask yourself, What other information have you received in a biased form?

Re:Trump administration has plan to scrap ‘startup visa’ rule by pavlov on Thursday June 22, 2017 @04:26AM (#14610864)
That episode is completely irrelevant. To find out what Trump is like, it's enough to listen to what he says in interviews and writes on Twitter. You can't blame media bias for his own words.

This is the point when you realize you've dodged the core of my comment in favor of nitpicking.

(and where are you getting this foot information from, anyway?)

Trump handed Merkel a fake invoice for the amount of money Germany owed NATO. At what level of government is that a good idea?

Can you give a proper source for that allegation preferably from the BBC.

The White House denies it, so who knows. Either way, there are many example's of him acting like a child. The inauguration debate for example.

See this is why you have to be very careful when you make any statement about Trump.

Maybe he's not a man child, but what's his MO? His approval ratings are shite, so somethings not working
Re:Trump administration has plan to scrap ‘startup visa’ rule by 4msonny on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @08:15PM (#14609152)
last i checked, republicans (and pro-trump candidates) have won every special election since trump came to power. so much for "shite" approval ratings.

No, they really are shite: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/...

The only special election they should be disappointed about is georgia 6th. Many of the rest have been fairly encouraging, given that they have been competitive in red districts.

Re:Trump administration has plan to scrap ‘startup visa’ rule by KGIII on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @09:42PM (#14609533)
It pains me to point this out, but I think some people are mad at him for not doing enough. I have to believe that some of the low ratings are due to him not being Trump enough. I am pretty sure there are a bunch that are pissed the ACA hasn't been scrapped yet. Yeah... They also probably want him to outlaw Muslims and probably tell gay people to stop being so fabulous. Also, they probably want to make it illegal to point out their bigotry or to call them hateful.

I am pretty sure those people exist. I apologize on behalf of America and ask that you not blame me. ;-)

I will give Trump supporters some credit, because many of them became genuinely disillusioned after Trump's continuation of the status quo foreign policy in the Middle East and after the Saudi arms deal. Hard-line Obama supporters are easily as racist as Trump supporters, why else would they go mute for 8 years while hundreds of thousands of Muslims are murdered by their candidate?

GA-06 hasn't had a Democratic rep in almost forty years.

I'd be more disappointed about SC-05, where it was a close finish with little resources dedicated. If some of the GA-06 millions had been spent there, it might've been a win.

I wouldn't be at all disappointed with the fact that both districts went Trump by 20 points, and were quite close less than a year later.

Re:Trump administration has plan to scrap ‘startup visa’ rule by bruceb on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @10:21PM (#14609684)
GA 6 was not won by 20 points by Trump. He won it by just over 1. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/everything-you-need-to-...

Sorry, you're right. I thought I remembered there being two special elections with the big swing, but GA-06 must not be it. Maybe it was the Montana one.
Re:Trump administration has plan to scrap ‘startup visa’ rule by mhh__ on Wednesday June 21, 2017 @09:11PM (#14609398)
When I say disappointed, I mean that they played up it's importance to a point where any result less than winning is a little embarrassing.
