My life has changed very little over the years due to what or who the president was. I have much more control over my life than the president does. I just can't get as worked up about this stuff as you do. I'm successful because of the steps I've taken in my life. I adjust to what the government does accordingly.
And to say you're usually not this aggressive? I beg to differ.

Easy to answer for me. I love my country. I have served military and in the political arena about my entire adult life.
Each day that goes by with Trump in the White House.....the standards of behavior just get lower, the division in the country gets wider, the blemish inside the seat of our government grows, the very real potential for major cultural divisions become more real. The image our children have if our country diminishes, the respect for our country around the world diminishes, each tweet and they go round the world where he speaks for all of us simply makes us a joke. People may not have liked us, but they had some respect..it is almost all gone. His attacks on the media, as attacks like that did about 80 years ago in another country will take their toll, trust is gone.
They are of huge concern for ME. I can speak to what he could have accomplished without his self indulgence, but obviously that would bore you.
I want to be proud of my country. I want to use our President as a goal for grandchildren. I want to look at our country not as perfect or even close, but the best there is. I cannot do any if that.
Mock me if you wish, but that is important to me.
The agressiveness you read, and I will "chill" is fear because whether it has affected your life directly or not, it has affected many and will affect your children and grand children.
Sorry for the length and sorry for caring about my country.
