Was Trump a Great Republican?

[BluesLegend]

Trump was the first Republican in decades with a spine. He took a wrecking ball to the Dem propaganda, that's why they hate his guts. Good job Trump!

 

[Correll]

Don't tell the tRumplings this, but he wasn't really a republican at all.

Republican is a party affiliation. Trump registered as a REpublican and thus was one.


He was NOT much of a CONSERVATIVE. Especially the mainstream FREE TRADE CONSERVATIVISM, that was dominate, before he challenged them.

We knew that.

 

[Mac1958]

An excellent and thoroughly depressing point.

Thanks.

It's frustrating, for sure. But we have to figure out what the hell this is before we can do anything about it.

 

[Correll]

An excellent and thoroughly depressing point.

Thanks.

It was a retarded point.

 

[Oddball]

Well, this is another case of going back to the question: Is this what they've become, or is this what they've been all along?

Obviously the noise generated by Trump makes things difficult to decipher, but maybe this is who they really are: Bigotry, paranoia, rage.

Good thing that you libneroidals aren't pious fucking snobs!

 

[Correll]

It's frustrating, for sure. But we have to figure out what the hell this is before we can do anything about it.

You would be less frustrated, if you stopped ignoring all the information that is challenging your insane world view.

That is the source of your frustration. Holding on to nonsense in the face of massive data refuting it.

 

[JGalt]

A Republican must be that kind of politician
Reagan and Eisenhower were also belligerent

Trump could be that way too, as shown when he ordered Solemani and other terrorist leaders taken out. But Russia never was much of a threat while Trump was President. He did arm the Ukraine with tank-killing missiles, which kept Russia in check. But for the most part, he dealt with Russia economically, like almost destroying their oil-based economy through our increased oil production.

China was the real threat, not only militarily, but economically. Trump was addressing that problem with the tariffs. He probably would have armed Taiwan like he did the Ukraine.

 

[rupol2000]

Hell even his fellow Republicans disliked McCain, he was a backstabber.

what do you mean?

 

[JGalt]

Well, this is another case of going back to the question: Is this what they've become, or is this what they've been all along?

Obviously the noise generated by Trump makes things difficult to decipher, but maybe this is who they really are: Bigotry, paranoia, rage.

Bigotry, paranoia, and rage describes exactly what the left was throughout Trump's four years in office. It wasn't Republicans who were rioting looting, and burning.

 

[playtime]

Other than Lincoln, there have been no great Republicans. Donnie Dark Side is the ultimate RINO, the worst of them all. Bigly!!!

naw - eisenhower, a us general warned us of the military industrial complex, his platform supported unions & the tax rate for corps at 90%.

 

[Magnus]

Hell even his fellow Republicans disliked McCain, he was a backstabber.

If McCain was so hated, how did he win the Republican primary? Amazing for a guy so disliked by his party, he not only won the presidential primary, but he also served as a two-term Congressman and a three-term Senator!!

 

[rupol2000]

Bigotry, paranoia, and rage describes exactly what the left was throughout Trump's four years in office. It wasn't Republicans who were rioting looting, and burning.

But the Republicans allowed it while in Power. Reagan would not allow this

15 times Trump praised China as coronavirus was spreading across the globe

POLITICO has compiled a list of 15 times the president hailed China for its push to prevent a pandemic in the early months of 2020 — an effort that ultimately failed:

Jan. 22, Twitter:
“One of the many great things about our just signed giant Trade Deal with China is that it will bring both the USA & China closer together in so many other ways. Terrific working with President Xi, a man who truly loves his country. Much more to come!”
Jan. 24, Twitter:
“China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!”

Jan. 29, Remarks at signing ceremony for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement:
“And, honestly, I think, as tough as this negotiation was, I think our relationship with China now might be the best it's been in a long, long time. And now it's reciprocal. Before, we were being ripped off badly. Now we have a reciprocal relationship, maybe even better than reciprocal for us.”


Jan. 30, Fox News interview:
"China is not in great shape right now, unfortunately. But they're working very hard. We'll see what happens. But we're working very closely with China and other countries."

Feb. 7, Remarks at North Carolina Opportunity Now Summit in Charlotte, N.C.:
"I just spoke to President Xi last night, and, you know, we're working on the — the problem, the virus. It's a — it's a very tough situation. But I think he's going to handle it. I think he's handled it really well. We're helping wherever we can."

Feb. 7, Twitter:
“Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days … Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!

Feb. 7, Remarks before Marine One departure:
"Late last night, I had a very good talk with President Xi, and we talked about — mostly about the coronavirus. They're working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job. They're in touch with World — the World — World Organization. CDC also. We're working together. But World Health is working with them. CDC is working with them. I had a great conversation last night with President Xi. It's a tough situation. I think they're doing a very good job.”

Feb. 10, Fox Business interview:
"I think China is very, you know, professionally run in the sense that they have everything under control," Trump said. "I really believe they are going to have it under control fairly soon. You know in April, supposedly, it dies with the hotter weather. And that's a beautiful date to look forward to. But China I can tell you is working very hard."

Feb. 10, campaign rally in Manchester, N.H.:
“I spoke with President Xi, and they’re working very, very hard. And I think it’s all going to work out fine.”

Feb. 13, Fox News interview:
“I think they've handled it professionally and I think they're extremely capable and I think President Xi is extremely capable and I hope that it's going to be resolved."

Feb. 18, remarks before Air Force One departure:
“I think President Xi is working very hard. As you know, I spoke with him recently. He’s working really hard. It’s a tough problem. I think he’s going to do — look, I’ve seen them build hospitals in a short period of time. I really believe he wants to get that done, and he wants to get it done fast. Yes, I think he’s doing it very professionally.”

Feb. 23, remarks before Marine One departure:
"I think President Xi is working very, very hard. I spoke to him. He's working very hard. I think he's doing a very good job. It's a big problem. But President Xi loves his country. He's working very hard to solve the problem, and he will solve the problem. OK?"

Feb. 26, remarks at a business roundtable in New Delhi, India:
“China is working very, very hard. I have spoken to President Xi, and they’re working very hard. And if you know anything about him, I think he’ll be in pretty good shape. They’re — they’ve had a rough patch, and I think right now they have it — it looks like they’re getting it under control more and more. They’re getting it more and more under control.”
Feb. 27, Coronavirus Task Force press conference:

“I spoke with President Xi. We had a great talk. He’s working very hard, I have to say. He’s working very, very hard. And if you can count on the reports coming out of China, that spread has gone down quite a bit. The infection seems to have gone down over the last two days. As opposed to getting larger, it’s actually gotten smaller.”

Feb. 29, Coronavirus Task Force press conference:
“China seems to be making tremendous progress. Their numbers are way down. … I think our relationship with China is very good. We just did a big trade deal. We’re starting on another trade deal with China — a very big one. And we’ve been working very closely. They’ve been talking to our people, we’ve been talking to their people, having to do with the virus.”
15 times Trump praised China as coronavirus was spreading across the globe

When Trump covered for China’s alleged coronavirus coverup

The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump was advised twice in January to press China to be more transparent about the outbreak in Wuhan. But Trump ignored the advice:

Early this year, several of Mr. Trump’s political advisers inside and outside the campaign urged him to take on China more directly, which they argued would have bipartisan appeal. One idea they suggested was a special commission to investigate the origins of the virus and whether Beijing responded sufficiently to control the outbreak.
Mr. Trump twice declined suggestions from his team in January to press [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] for more transparency about the virus’s causes and symptoms, in one case saying that the criticism could cause Beijing to be less helpful, said White House officials.

In fact, Trump didn’t just decline the suggestions; he actually went in the opposite direction. Trump repeatedly praised China’s coronavirus response through late February. And on two different occasions, he actually vouched for China’s transparency, despite the advice.
Trump did so voluntarily on Jan. 24, tweeting, “The United States greatly appreciates [China’s] efforts and transparency.” He was then asked directly on Feb. 7 whether he was “concerned that China is covering up the full extent of coronavirus.” He said flatly, “No. … They’re working really hard, and I think they are doing a very professional job.”

Trump embodied everything that the GOP stands for, and even taught them a few new tricks.

Hucklebee was an ass and split the conservative vote. McCain won teh moderates and the old republicans silly enough to trust tteh shit the msm said.

Go ahead, explain why you nominated Hillary.

But the Republicans allowed it while in Power. Reagan would not allow this

It was more like Democrat Mayors and Governors who were allowing their citizens to run amok. We've become so sensitive these days. Can you Imagine Trump sending troops to Minneapolis? The left would have gone ape shit.

 

[playtime]

The term doctrine refers to foreign policy and war.

alrighty ...........

he made a deal with the taliban to release 5000 taliban prisoners just so the taliban will talk with pompeo , & then signed on the dotted line to withdraw from afganistan & had that whole shitshow dumped in biden's lap to deal with.

how'z 'bout that?
