What is it Exactly that so Infuriates the Left about Trump?

[toobfreak]

I honestly don't know how he survived making fun of handicapped people. But he did.

You seriously still don't understand? It is so simple:

1. Trump survives because he actually gets real with people. With Trump, there is no "public face" like Hillary used to do looking all chipper for the camera then screaming and throwing things like a tyrant when the doors are closed. Trump is who Trump is, when you see him, when you don't see him--- who he is and what he thinks is worn plainly on his face 24/7.
2. Trump never made fun of handicapped people. Trump was making fun of someone, someone who had it coming--- the context of which no longer even matters.

Rightists, this is a classical response from the left. Notice how everything they hate about Trump is about his character, not his policies? They know they immediately lose the argument when it comes to policy, so they attack the politician's character. That is how we know the left has absolutely nothing to offer the American people, except violence and death to anyone who doesn't agree with them on everything. Everything.

The policies? Firing thousands of workers only to re-hire them a few days later. Tariffs that have resulted in price increases, Ending USAID that has crippled many farmers. This whole nonsense about Tylenol is a great example. The science doesn't back up the allegations in any way whatsoever. But he makes the irresponsible comments causing nothing but consternation for mothers across the nation. Why? Nobody knows. Thats just off the top of my head.

But I would like to ask you something from the first term. He proposed a national garden.... one that would have included a statue of Alex Trebek. Do you think that is a good use of taxpayer money?

I'll take word salad for $200 Alex!

OK Candy. A failed presidential candidate know for cackling and indeed word salads.

 

[TemplarKormac]

It was exactly how it was described. The way we all know this--except morons like you and the rest of MAGA--is that he stopped doing it. If there was nothing wrong with the abhorrent behavior; he would have kept doing it. But he stopped.

You sure? Lots of contextual omission is going on, then. With the left, it's rarely as it's described.

He stopped because he's the president now.

Also, I wouldn't be so upset about his behavior when you have Antifa freaks attacking ICE facilities and killing detainees, or assassinating people in cold blood.

Never lecture anyone on morality when you support such evil behavior.

As for your claim:

Grok:

• The gesture as a Trump staple: Trump has used similar flailing-arm motions and bent-wrist imitations in other contexts to depict confusion, panic, or exasperation, unrelated to disability. Examples include:
  • Mocking Ted Cruz during a 2016 debate prep or rally, where he flailed his arms while saying Cruz was "choking" under pressure.
  • Imitating a flustered Army general in a 2015 speech, using erratic hand movements to show someone backpedaling.
  • Even self-mockery in older clips, like a 2015 interview where he gestured similarly about his own hypothetical confusion.These were compiled in analyses and videos by sources like Catholics4Trump, TheRebelMedia, and commentator Gavin McInnes, showing the gesture predates the Kovaleski incident and was applied to able-bodied people (e.g., a bank president, journalists, or politicians).
• Mismatch with the actual disability: Kovaleski's condition causes stiffness and limited range of motion—he typically holds his arm steady against his body, not flailing or spasming. Defenders note that if Trump were truly mocking the disability, the imitation wouldn't involve wild arm-waving, which doesn't align with how arthrogryposis presents.
  
  
• Broader rally context: Trump's remarks focused on accusing Kovaleski (and co-author Jerry Useem) of retracting or downplaying their 2001 reporting to undermine him politically, not on any physical traits. The gesture came amid a heated debunking of his 9/11 claims, which some see as the media shifting focus to personal attack rather than the factual dispute.

He does validate your bigotry. That much is true.

Trump never made fun of handicapped people. Trump was making fun of someone, someone who had it coming--- the context of which no longer even matters.

Again....in no universe is what you're saying remotely true.

But I'll play along; if you want to know what infuriates me (to a small extent) is the laughably stupid crap that you guys accept. Kristi Noem murders her dog in cold blood. Something that up until the story broke of her murdering her dog...you'd never accept. But since she did it...you climbed right on board with it. Thousands of flag waving Trump supporters attack 140 cops and try to kill the VP. Your response? Those were FBI agents! or Those were ANTIFA or Those were democrats!!!!

Nope. He didn't do it the rest of the campaign in 2016. So you're lying your ass off.

We used to expect some honesty from moderators.

Really dude, stop it. He made fun of a handicapped person. That is what he did. Stop trying to justify it and try to salvage some integrity.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

The left hates Trump because they are instructed to hate Trump. The real answer is that globalists don't like nationalists. And the globalists fund the democraps. They also own Big Media, which they use to instruct the weak minded to hate their enemies, like Trump, and champion the globalist's agenda, like corporate fascism.

[Mac1958]

Ten (10) years of commentary and warnings from people who have worked for him in the White House. His own former Cabinet. His former staffers, generals, lawyers, many other members of the government. His former Vice President. His CURRENT Vice President. His CURRENT Secretary of State. Horrified lifelong conservatives. And his own family.

What the Left, moderates and independents say about him, especially on some internet message board, doesn't even need to be considered. It's all the same.

Anyone who doesn't know the opinions and comments of these people has to be actively, aggressively avoiding and/or denying them. Dismissing them with no thought whatsoever. If you don't know by now, that's about you and no one else.

They still make Valium, only now it's called diazepam. I'm sure your doctor will understand because prescriptions are needed.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

I honestly don't know how he survived making fun of handicapped people. But he did.

Calling Mexicans rapists, the constant lying about nearly everything, endangering tens of millions with the "it will disappear like a miracle", martial law, the hypocrisy...firing people via tweet, the cheapening of the presidency.

Essentially he's a despicable pervert who has paid porn stars for sex, fathered what, 5 kids with 3 different women; two of which he fooled around on and bragged about it. He's probably a pedophile. And somehow he managed to be a worse President than he is a person.

We make fun of you for being a dingbat and Zafira Cherry for being obese. Those too are handicaps, but so what?

Since the left on this thread are going after the character of Trump, his post is perfectly on target demonstrating that going after the character of a leftist is out of bounds. The truth is, the left have really bad policies, like open borders, and have the most despicable personalities of the two parties. The left are like angry, violent Karens on meth. The left loses on character AND policy, the right wins on policy alone despite any character flaws.

It's what is called gaslighting.

The complete list of policies, actions and general personal behavior that's objectionale, immoral and even criminal that causes me to oppose Trump can fill a decent size book, and that's not hyperbole. And grows daily. Like for instance this week the firing of a prosecutor so Comey could be charged. The fact that this doesn't register as a problem to those on the right baffles me.

Everything is ignored, excused or buried in whataboutisms, that are based on equivalencies so thin, you can see through them.

Yet you neo-leftists never seem to notice the delusional craziness of the leftists. Why not? Because Big Media, paid for by the Globalists, controls you to only obsess about Trump.

Dude you are supporting a convicted felon, who a jury decided likely raped a woman, who openly abuses his office to go after his enemies, while you applaud. That's not some "character flaws" , that's burying the existence of any morals

We get these types of threads every now and then. "Name one lie", insane things like that.

Then a zillion solid examples are given, and every last one is immediately dismissed and mocked. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I just hope they're kidding. Because if they really don't see anything, this country is in even worse trouble.

I think they internalized this behavior to such an extent they really don't see it. Cognitive dissonance is powerful.
