He portrays himself as a unifier and a divider, a pessimist and an optimist. He bullies, blames and boasts. In Twitter posts, official speeches (including Tuesday’s State of the Union address), interviews and rallies, President Trump has presented an array of personalities during his first year in office.

The Unifier

The Unifier

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people. Jan. 20, 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.
Inaugural addressJan. 20, 2017
Solving these and so many other pressing problems will require us to work past the differences of party.
I call upon all of us to set aside our differences, to seek out common ground, and to summon the unity we need to deliver for the people we were elected to serve.
I am extending an open hand to work with members of both parties — Democrats and Republicans — to protect our citizens of every background, color, religion and creed.
The Divider

The Democrats have no message, not on economics, not on taxes, not on jobs, not on failing #Obamacare. They are only OBSTRUCTIONISTS!

The Fake News refuses to talk about how Big and how Strong our BASE is. They show Fake Polls just like they report Fake News. Despite only negative reporting, we are doing well - nobody is going to beat us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired.’

The Optimist

The Optimist

Each American generation passes the torch of truth, liberty and justice in an unbroken chain all the way down to the present. That torch is now in our hands. And we will use it to light up the world.
We’re lifting up forgotten communities, creating exciting new opportunities, and helping every American find their path to the American Dream — the dream of a great job, a safe home, and a better life for their children.
This is our new American moment. There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.
The Pessimist

The Pessimist

Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities, rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge; and the crime and the gangs and the drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.
Inaugural addressJan. 20, 2017
Meeting with 'Chuck and Nancy' today about keeping government open and working. Problem is they want illegal immigrants flooding into our Country unchecked, are weak on Crime and want to substantially RAISE Taxes. I don’t see a deal!

But one by one, we are finding the illegal alien drug dealers, the gang members, the thieves, the criminals, and the killers preying on our children, preying on everybody, and we are throwing them the hell out of our country or we are putting them in prison.

I had a great life before I did this. Oh, think of where I would be right now if I didn't do this. I'd be very happy, believe me. But I wanted to do it, and I wanted to give back.

I will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this dangerous position.
General Flynn was given the highest security clearance by the Obama Administration - but the Fake News seldom likes talking about that.

Democrats are smiling in D.C. that the Freedom Caucus, with the help of Club For Growth and Heritage, have saved Planned Parenthood & Ocare!

Just cannot believe a judge would put our country in such peril. If something happens blame him and court system. People pouring in. Bad!

Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!

My administration is working every day to lift the burdens on our companies and on our workers so that you can thrive, compete and grow. And at the very center of that plan is a giant, beautiful, massive — the biggest ever in our country — tax cut.
Actually, throughout my life, my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart. Crooked Hillary Clinton also played these cards very hard and, as everyone knows, went down in flames. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star.

ISIS is in retreat, our economy is booming, investments and jobs are pouring back into the country, and so much more! Together there is nothing we can’t overcome--even a very biased media. We ARE Making America Great Again!

I know the details of taxes better than anybody. Better than the greatest C.P.A. I know the details of health care better than most.

Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office 'begging' for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came.....to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year's Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

We are not merely transferring power from one administration to another or from one party to another, but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C., and giving it back to you, the people.

Actually, the rich people actually don’t like me, which is sort of interesting, and that’s fine. I — you know what? I like that trade. But really, the people that like me best are those people, the workers. They’re the people I understand the best. Those are the people I grew up with. Those are the people I worked on construction sites with.
Missouri speechNov. 29, 2017
In our campaign for the presidency, we defied the pundits, the politicians and the special interest because ours was a movement of the people — and it really was. It was a movement of you; it was a movement of the people.

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the 'Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.' Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

I’ve condemned many different groups, but not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me. Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue.
