^Seems he would have ran into the school shooting in Florida even without a weapon the bring the perp down.
Seems like he believes he's badass enough to be a superhero if you take him at his word.
What are your thoughts on this, very real and very sad, take on this tragedy regarding Trump's words.
The man avoided the draft, multiple times. He would have run away, far away.
There is NOTHING tough about Trump with the exception of his mouth backed up by lawyers, money and lawsuits.
He is an empty barrel.
I think that is a fair point to add to the argument too Norrin!
shareHe would have run away, far away.

How it would have played out if Trump was there. :P
Run Forrest, Run!!
shareHe was just stating that as a leader he would have stepped in and hopefully been able to help. Also, he's not the only official to say something similar. I'm sure a lot of older and mature people would be willing to put themselves in harm's way to defend children. It's a little sad what it says about you that you think the idea is so completely unfathomable.
share"It's a little sad what it says about you that you think the idea is so completely unfathomable."
I'd agree with you completely if I'd ever have said that such an idea is unfathomable.
Thing is, I never did. You somehow managed to read that when it was never written.
Do you secretly think Trump is a fraud or something?
How else would I take it? You clearly expressed doubt at the sincerity of his claim,for no appearant reason.Why would you doubt it unless you yourself wouldn't have the fortitude to do it yourself?
shareI have NO DOUBTS as to the sincerity of his claims and haven't inferred any either.
It would seem to be you who has these lingering betrayals of fortitude through projection.
Feel free to quote me if you've seen it written otherwise.
Well, I might have taken it wrong,but you seemed bto agree with Norrinrad,who basically says he's full of shit. Perhaps I took it wrong,but the word "infer" exists because it's possible to take some from a statement that isn't a direct quote.
shareI was simply being civil to Norrinrad for replying in my thread Burk.
I appreciate that different people have different takes on Donald Trump and I try to make sure I'm aware of as many of them as I can be before I solidify anything resembling an opinion on any particular subject related to the President of the United States.
If you took it a different way from how I intended for it to be received then it's all good with me. You've responded and I think we've managed to whittle it down to being a simple misunderstanding between us.
Let's keep having fun here on Movie Chat where we can, hot topics bring out all sorts of reesponses and this thread wasn't intended to be a one :)
Agreed,and it definitely was a case of misunderstanding,and my apologies for doing so. I'll be honest too, I'm not sure I believe anyone really knows how they'd react in the event of a shooter, until actually faced with the situation. I was just giving the benefit of the doubt.
shareI too don't think anyone knows how they'd react to that situation, trained, armed or otherwise, and I don't know if what they would do on one occasion would be the same thing they'd do on another - it's a wild scenario to be in and there would be lots of factors which we don't think about normally which would rush to the fore of our minds.
That said and done, I believe Trump when he said that's what he would do when he was standing at the press conference stating he would have gone in. I don't know if it is because he feels powerful and compelled enough that he could handle the situation, I don't know if it is because he was being a leader and trying to make those he leads feel better or if it was a simple case of bravado from a place of safety and not fully understanding what that scenario actually feels like.
Whether he would do something or not, I believe he believed he would at the time he was saying it.
If you extrapolate my kind of thinking on what he said when he said it to Donald's comments about believing Putin when he said there was no election rigging when the two talked about it it kind of gives both scepticism and critical thinking a nice place alongside full scrutiny and honesty.
I could be being naive about the whole thing, he is a politician these days and that has to count for something, but he's not a regular POTUS and I think that was, and is, his appeal to many who have lost faith in the media and their representatives within government.
I'm glad we've cleared up any misunderstandings between us Burk.
Me too,and it appears we share similar thinking on many issues regarding the current state of our society.
shareWell Trump is without any doubt one o the first who would have done it considering his audacity and balls of steel, so far he's not been afraid to burn a little as long as it can help some people, people who make it to sacrifice themselves and risk their lives every day to be presidents know that well. It is truly beautiful what he said, I am sure it can perhaps encourage other leaders to be more open and courageous in their words... it is a message that matters, its not about Trump, it is negver about them as persons, it's about a leader who is willing to do something like this in general.
shareWho would win in a fight between Black Panther and Trump in your opinion Starman?

How his policies and actions exclude black people? I don't understand what you are saying, it doesn't make sense. I can understand that some people have perceptions of him that he cares about only one race, yet none of the things he does reflect that, they include everyone in general.
shareIf Wakanda was real Trump would be the king because he´d kick T´Challas ass down that motherf***** waterfall not only once.
