Compare that to the letter Ms. McGarry sent to Dimwit Donald Jr. telling him to stop spamming her with fundraising spam.

Trump: Make America Drown People in Steel Cages Again (guess it won’t fit on a hat, but maybe he can get some T-shirts made on the cheap in China?)

First, you’re correct of course. But the problem is, 1) Trump either doesn’t understand this, or doesn’t care; but more importantly 2) the American people probably don’t understand this.
I was going to say Trump voters don’t understand, but it is very clear from at least the last decade of Presidential elections that the American people far overestimate the powers of the presidency. They didn’t understand that Pres. Obama couldn’t magically make everything perfect and pass his entire agenda in six months, they didn’t understand that almost nothing of what Bernie Sanders was proposing could be done by the President, and they don’t understand that everything that Donald Trump proposes is not within his powers. Not only that, they don’t understand that 99% of the crap Trump proposes would never even get passed by a fully GOP Congress! The GOP will never spend +50 billion on wall, or $500 billion to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants, or allow torture, etc.
But the problem is what he would do within his executive powers. Both Pres. Bush and Pres. Obama have expanded Presidential powers. This may just be the natural inclination of the executive, but it is more likely due to the intransigence in Congress. Each side is so tribal and so partisan and polarized that they can’t get anything done through legislation. So if we give this guy the Presidency, how much would he do with executive powers? How many law suits would need to be filed to stop him? How many loyalists would he put in place that could do damage before we even found out? How much would be hidden from the public in the name of “national security”?
He wants to fight fire with fire? He wants to torture? To kill terrorists families? At what point will the people of this country stop thinking he’s just saying this stuff and trust that he means what he says. If Sec. Clinton said any of this shit her career would be over.

After the battle of Trenton, New Jersey on December 26, 1776, George Washington issued an order to his troops regarding prisoners of war:
"Treat them with humanity, and let them have no reason to complain of our copying the brutal example of the British Army in their treatment of our unfortunate brethren who have fallen into their hands."
And this:
“Should any American soldier be so base and infamous as to injure any [prisoner]. . . I do most earnestly enjoin you to bring him to such severe and exemplary punishment as the enormity of the crime may require. Should it extend to death itself, it will not be disproportional to its guilt at such a time and in such a cause… for by such conduct they bring shame, disgrace and ruin to themselves and their country.” – George Washington, charge to the Northern Expeditionary Force, Sept. 14, 1775
Wouldn’t you love to give those quotes to a Republican today (Just remember how much they LOVE the ‘founding fathers’!) and not tell him whose words they are, and ask for his critique?

No, but then he had a campaign to retake Europe to carry out. Neither Roosevelt nor Truman said it either, so I take your point. 
@sherlock1 I don’t think Drumpf could even read those remarks from a teleprompter without stumbling - some pretty long words in there: “What the hell is this loser trying to say? Just sad! Sad.”
So trump is jealous of terrorists and wants to act like them?
I still think he’s doing this as a joke I can’t believe this guy is for real
Half the populace probably still believes the Sun revolves around the Earth. Trump knows this. Whatever level of stupidity you suspect exists in our citizenry you could probably treble and still be off by a factor of ten.
Trump has enthusiastically pushed this pro-waterboarding stance throughout the 2016 race. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, former prisoner of war Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), and CIA Director John Brennan are among those who have condemned his position.
McCain “condemns” Trump’s torture advocacy, but is still supporting Trump for President.

Listening to him is torture enough. Hey maybe torture everyone that comes into the airport? Actually I saw some suggestions late night saying maybe we ought to extend the security perimeter to the building entrance of the airport or even the road ways leading in.
"change our law on, you know, the waterboarding thing in order to be able to fight at least on an almost equal basis.”
Trump failing Logic 101 again and again. Scored a zero this time.
Good to see you around again, Ug.
Please stay for the floor show. Looks like it’s gonna be a doozy this year. I got lots of popcorn and beer. Feel free to pull up a rock and have some.
