He feels free to attack others and can't take it when he is called on it.

At a minimum so far this year, Trump has:
1. Met with Kim again with no result
2. Shut down the Government with no result
3. Declared an emergency that he claimed he didn't need to do
4. Threatened military action in Venezuela, the Russians came
5. Tried to kill the ACA with no replacement
6. Threatened to close the Southern Border entirely, and changed his mind

Reelect him, you'll get what you deserve

So then, you do seem to back up what I said. You do support the CNN reporter for suggesting that Shouting "lock her up" at Trump rallies should have been shut down by the FBI because it was hate speech that could lead to violence. But you don't consider the hateful speech against Trump, including, at a minimum as you would put it, saying he is a NAZI or supports NAZIs, that he is a racist, anti-Semite, hates women, is a traitor, anti-American in a bromance with Putin, conspiring with Russia against the US, supporter of the KKK, ettcettterraaa . . . you don't consider that any of that is hate speech that could lead to violence . . . such as assaulting people with MAGA hats, punching them in the face (it's OK to punch a NAZI) and so forth . . . ergo no reason that the CNN reporter should have suggested that the FBI shut down such speech.

You do agree that saying "lock her up" is far worse and more hateful than what is said about Trump. And, after all, any hate speech against Trump is, as you say, "on him."

There have been assaults against Trump supporters because of the above mentioned anti-Trump hate speech. Have there been any assaults against Hillary supporters because of the "lock her up" chants?

Cain and Moore appear to have been picked less for their experience and more for their loyalty to the President and have therefore provoked a great deal of political criticism.

thats what criticism looks like or do they just they hate trump
the interest rate hikes likely did slow things down. he’s right.

i didn’t say the feds aren’t ever supposed to raise rates. but those hikes were not in response to inflation, and they probably slowed economic growth. just because trump says something, doesn’t necessarily mean he’s wrong.

He explained their rational March 20, 2019 Trump didn't like that response so he blames and then want to appoint stooges .because it contradicts.. the White House

Mr. Powell showed little concern about inflation (so yes the rate hike had nothing to do with that but he stated his reasons

Powell, the Fed chairman, said the economy “is in a good place” in a news conference. But he and his colleagues said growth appeared to be slowing from last year, under the weight of the Trump administration’s trade war, economic slowdowns in Europe and China and fading stimulus from the Republican tax cuts of 2017.
