Questions for Trump Supporters, 09/21/2025

So prove me wrong.

I did.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Lol, what a load.

An absolute fact. The globe is warming and the Ice caps are melting. It has been for well over 12,000 years. It's a feature of the Ice Age we live in. The scientist don't know when it's going to stop and return to a glacial advancing state either. They're pretty sure it will some day. They don't know how much human activity has contributed to the warming in the current Epoch, if any at all.

The people that have gotten rich on that scam, thank you. As the technologies improve and as energy is implemented at a commonsense pace, that is the way to do it. Investing money into real infrastructures to take the weather into consideration is more advisable.

I did.

No, you didn't. But I will.

Enjoy the wait.

Because I'm a proud capitalist with more than two decades in finance and far more practical knowledge and experience than any average 50 Dunning-Kruger Trumpsters.

Okay, your turn: Why do you people paint anyone who doesn't think exactly like you as leftists?

Do you have the balls to answer that?

So, you want a strong centralized government and capitalism?

Sounds more like fascism to me Mac.

 

[80zephyr]

Enjoy the wait.

Explain?

The world has been warming since the last glacial maximum. Notice, however, that the peak temperature in the previous epoch(s) is/are greater than today. Yet somehow humanity managed to survive.

“Managed to survive”

What was life like 140,000 years ago?

We’d likely survive this as well, but at what cost? What would our world look like? Substantially different than today

What does mankind need to do in your mind, to stop the warming?

A few facts first:

• All day every day on USMB, anyone who criticizes the current President is assumed to be a radical/evil left wing communist who want to destroy America.
• At the same time, there is a long list of Republicans who have publicly criticized him as no group of Republicans ever has. Clear, strong rebukes.
• This group includes many of his former staffers, former Cabinet officials, former Generals, former Attorneys, and a wide rage of conservatives.
• It also includes his current Vice President, current Secretary of State, and current Secretary of Health & Human Services.

So just a few questions:

• Do you realize this? Do you understand this? Did I say anything that is incorrect?
• What do you think about when you review those facts?
• Do you believe it's possible that people who are not Left wing have a serious problem with what is happening, regardless of the politics?

I realize many responses will just be personal insults, and that's fine. But it would be nice to gain a little understanding of your thought processes on this.

You’ve raised a really important observation here.

It’s worth remembering that criticism from within a party isn’t the same as disloyalty or being “left wing.” When former staffers, generals, or cabinet officials raise concerns, it’s because they’ve seen things up close. Ignoring that as just partisan noise misses the point. Real strength in a democracy comes from testing ideas, not silencing dissent. If a leader can’t withstand criticism from their own party, maybe the problem isn’t the critics.

Just my two cents

 

[sartre play]

Is Trump the only POTUS without a moral compass in the entire history of American politics? I bet you are willing to say Biden, Obama and Clinton all had impeccable moral compasses. Here's a suggestion: hold your beloved party to the same standards that you hold Trump to. It might just save the democrap party.

Still its our fault, We blame the other party.
INSTEAD of holding them ALL RESPONSIBLE.
& demanding a large measure of honesty,
GREED/+ Money+ Power CORRUPTS.

From a macro perspective, I blame much of where we are on a political/electoral "system" that incentivizes and rewards the very worst impulses of its participants, by catering to only the loudest and most deep-pocketed of the parties.

The Founders worried about this, and damn, they were right.

 

[HikerGuy83]

yer chosen one's bigley lack of character goes back some 45 years...

as a man, a husband, a father, a business 'tycoon', & as a general human being.

color me naive, but the leader of a country - ANY country - should have a moral compass & yer dear leader is sorely lacking in that arena.

If you look at the long term graph, in the past the increases shoots straight to the top and then returns down. In the current epoch it has leveled out a bit. Could it be that the industrial revolution and releasing of all that sequesters Carbon is prolonging the Holocene epoch and is staving off the return of the Mega Glaciers?

I agree, both parties should hold their politicians to ever increasing standards. While I don't think the remaining democraps will be permitted to ever hold their politicians accountable, the rest of the country certainly can hold the GOP to accountability. For example, I think Trump should get out of the Russia-Ukraine money pit that could cause WWIII, and I think he should get out of the Israel-Palestine quagmire. He should stop with Iran and Venezuela. We have so many problems at home and the rest of the world is going to have to deal with their regional conflicts. I think Trump can stop with the revenge now, he won, the democraps are in free fall. It's time for him to turn his attention to the working middle class of America. They desperately need some help and always get ignored for international matters.

 

[IDIOCRACY]

And you illustrate the point of the thread for me.

I can always depend on Trumpsters. Good stuff!

Make it up as u go, whimp

So if you are not a democrat I'm going to guess that you are a Never-Trumper like g5000.
When electing a president voters compare the choices, their strengths and weaknesses, and then cast their vote, generally for the lesser of the evils.
Electability, intelligence, energy, and policies mean more to me than "choir boy character".
The US has congress and the courts as guardrails or checks and balances to keep any presidential character issues to a minimum.
There are Trump policies I don't like, the Gaza Riviera being one, if he tricks out the gift 747 from Qatar with taxpayer money another, other than those two I'm liking all of his other EOs and "promises kept".

The problem never-Trumpers have is that any alternative meant that the democrat's lawfare would have worked, and we can't allow that.

of course i'm a never trumper. let me give you some food for thought.... donny fked over his own wife... again &again& again.
if he would do that to the one person he made a promise to put above all others - then what makes you think he wouldn't do that to you ?

Wrong.

Plenty of conservatives have criticism of President Trump. He isn’t perfect.

You just get mad because you get called out for being a lefty.

Not because you may have a criticism of President Trump, but because you always criticize everything he does, and you never give him credit for anything. You also never, ever criticize a Democrat.

 

[playtime]

he is the only prez who is a sociopathic, malignant narsissist, with arrested development.

I bet you are willing to say Biden, Obama and Clinton all had impeccable moral compasses.

Lol... wrong.

Here's a suggestion: hold your beloved party to the same standards that you hold Trump to. It might just save the democrap party.

well, since i am not a (D)... i guess that statement is moot.

& as i have stated many times - if it turns out that slick willy ( whom i didn't vote for ) is on epstein's list - then nail him to the wall. can you say the same about yer chosen one ? i will not rule clinton out. can you even admit to the possibility that trmp raped undeage girls?
