While I am a Trump supporter,

Most people were just asking for a choice and not to be forced. thast quite different than coming out and saying it was poison. Trump followed the KNOWN medical establishment to the best of his knowledge and got the vaccine fast tracked to which some of your prominenet Dems, said They would never take a TRUMP vaccine... as if those political hacks didnt know Trump didnt formulate the vaccine himself.

At that point it was an emergency situation and it made sense to follow all avenues. Vaccines and treatments alike. I didnt personally want the vaccine for myself, but still I believe it was the best thing knowing what we did then to produce it in an emergency setting where it might make sense for the most vulnerable.

It was Democrats later on who all but abandoned treatment for Covid, such as monoclonal anti-bodies, and soley wanted to focus on vaccines, wanting to give them even to healthy children who were little at risk.
Plus all their damn advice about staying shut in was ass backwards and ended up doing so much harm to people.

Good grief.
People were dying. Trump threw out the 2005 pandemic handbook that was used against Ebola and Zika.. then he turned it all over to Kushner. Trump is a moron.
 
I do admit that he makes it easy for some to dislike him. He’s everything the social justice warriors insist that we despise. He’s a white male multi-billionaire who had a privileged childhood. He has a jaded history with the ladies, and is inclined to get into verbal battles that would be better avoided. In other words: he’s just as flawed as the rest of us. But I realize that his unlikability to some is actually his superpower. He causes the Left to act out a self-destructive demonstration of their corrosiveness to the American experiment.

The radicals falsely perceive Trump’s personality as a weakness, drawing them into attacks that reveal their true nature. He’s the cheese, which temps the rats into the transparency trap. He triggers them into openly demonstrating their utter disregard for basic fairness and the rule of law -- things which most Americans still hold dear. Blinded by their hatred, the radicals can’t see that their actions offend most Americans, and result in unintended consequences.
The Left demonizes Trump without realizing that we don’t judge him by the contents of his heart. That’s God’s jurisdiction. We only care about his deeds -- which have been 100 percent beneficial to the citizens of the United States.
We also don’t care about what’s in the hearts of his opponents. We instead are judging them by their deeds, and we’re finding those deeds very disturbing. They have:
  • Trashed our civil rights,
  • Corrupted any notion of due process,
  • Weaponized the government against its citizens, and
  • Destroyed civil debate (i.e., calling opponents fascists).
It was all done to crush one man -- with no acknowledgement of the individual liberties which the Constitution guarantees.
The attorney general of New York, Letitia James, found a friendly judge and got a $464.5 million settlement and a suspension of Trump’s right to do business in New York. He was found guilty of defrauding banks, who claim they weren’t defrauded -- making it a victimless crime, if it was a crime at all. The Left attacked (action) and MAGA grew (unintended consequence).

E. Jean Carroll got an $83 million settlement from Trump for the liable of denying that he had raped her -- even though she can’t remember the year in which it supposedly happened. But she had a friendly New York jury, and she was relying on Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) to triumph over a preponderance of the evidence. The Left attacked (action) and MAGA grew (unintended consequence).

New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump for a campaign finance violation, which the federal election commission ruled wasn’t illegal, and for which the statute of limitations had expired. But by calling it a “conspiracy,” Bragg was able to extend the statute of limitations, even if the act still wasn’t illegal. Bragg is counting on a TDS afflicted judge and jury also. Is that anyone’s idea of justice -- seeking a conviction because you can, rather than because you should? The Left attacked (action) and MAGA grew (unintended consequence).

Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump for the same crime that Joe Biden committed -- having classified documents in his possession (but without Presidential authority in Biden’s case). Special Counsel Robert Hur explained that Biden wouldn’t be indicted because the jury would find him a “likeable old gentleman.” Left unsaid is what that statement reveals: Trump was indicted because he would come across as unlikeable, while Biden was excused because a jury would find him likeable. Again, justice has been turned into the pursuit of the unlikeable, rather than the guilty. Is that what the Supreme Court building inscription “Equal Justice Under Law” intends? The Left attacked (action) and MAGA grew (unintended consequence).

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis indicted Trump for the same action that every losing Democrat since Al Gore has committed -- challenging the outcome of the election with every legal means available. When Al Franken overturned an election in Minnesota, it was a defense of democracy. When Donald Trump didn’t overturn an election, it was a criminal conspiracy in violation of racketeering laws -- because he talked to people about his legal options. We’re not supposed to notice that what is justice for a Democrat is conspiracy for a Republican. Fani got her mugshot, and Trump’s campaign donations came rolling in. The Left attacked (action) and MAGA grew (unintended consequence).

One must ask: why did the radicals think they would benefit from such public displays of raw political corruption? Was it because they presumed that our values were aligned with theirs? Did they think that we hated Donald Trump more than we loved our republic? Were they expecting us to celebrate the destruction of due process -- if it was to “save our democracy”?


Surprise! The leftists were wrong. We value our country far more than any one man. We will not excuse them for trashing our justice system -- to “save our democracy.” Unlike them, we know that “saving our republic” depends on fairness -- especially towards those whom we may dislike. Lady Justice wears a blindfold for reasons which we understand -- and they clearly don’t.
The Left’s hatred of Donald Trump caused them to show the public their complete disdain for legal norms. In their lust to attack him, they revealed the lengths to which they are willing to go in attacking our republic. Considerations of justice, fairness, and the common good were of no consequence in their decision making.
Leftists put the question to us: Do you dislike Donald Trump enough to excuse us for trashing legal norms to keep him out of office? We have given them a resounding: No! But rather than hear us, the radicals continue to do the same thing over and over, while expecting a different result. They refuse to accept reality -- that we prefer the America of our founding over the North Cuba which they are creating. So, they continue to attack, and MAGA continues to grow.

White, rich and the rest of the bullshit list? Don't care.

Trump is just a scummy human being. Bottom line, you either vote for the commies to destroy America...or you vote for lying, conman Trump.



Trump good dems so bad.jpg
 
I'm sure they can see why people like Trump.

However the bullshit written by the OP just reinforces that.

People want to be taken seriously. They want to be taken seriously when they've put zero effort into learning things, zero effort into understanding things. Trump gives them that.

He's a fucking salesman, he knows how to manipulate people, he'll tell you all you want to hear, he goes on your websites, learns the bullshit you think is real, and he repeats it back to you and tells you you're fucking smart for believing this crap.

AND IT WORKS.
WOW.
 
I WILLINGLY admit that I did not pay nearly as much attention as I should have when he was president.
He kept talking non stop about everything, stuff he had no education or experience with.
NOT my choice, But he was president & I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He did some things that appalled me, but they all do.
Now I give him 80% of the blame for dividing AMERICANS AGAINEST EACH OTHER. And the rest too the DEM nut bags.

The man can be over bearing, obnoxious, irritating, frustrating, infuriating at times. That is because he is who he is and he refuses to be anything other than who and what he instead of conforming at the alter of political correctness, being a politician, being a partisan, being an ideologue. He told us early on he was not politically correct. And he is not a politician, partisan, or ideologue.

But what he has devoted his considerable experience, talent, skill set, abilities is to create and reinforce a strong, free, prosperous, secure America with liberties, choices, options, opportunities for all who want them. Toward that end he has risked his person, his reputation, his considerable fortune and has held up magnificently despite the worst a vindictive left can throw at him. And when he was President, he produced the best economy, more liberty, more opportunity, most secure America and the closest thing to world peace that I have experienced in a very long lifetime.

And that is why I will vote for him again in November.

Why did “best economy” never reach 3% GDP growth rate and included a RECESSION with 3Trillion+ budget deficits?

Your assertion is ludecrous.

Most people don't evaluate the economy via GDP but by their buying power, confidence in the future, quality of life, and whether they feel secure that everything is better. Trump achieved that among ALL demographics including those considered the hard core unemployed.

Under Trump the average family's buying power increased by thousands of dollars. Under Biden the average family's buying power has decreased by thousands of dollars and his anti-people, pro government policies make it very hard to recover from that.

I suggest you stop shooting that bs and go look at the actual macroeconomic data.
 
I will stand by my post as defensible and you can continue to spew childish insults.

Do have a pleasant afternoon.
If you think THAT is a “childish insult “ you are in the wrong place
 
American "buying power, confidence in the future, quality of life, and whether they feel secure that everything is better" all are going up, having ended the Trump economic wreck in 2020 that extended into early 2022.

If it’s defensible you would defend it.

I live in the real world and talk to people in the real world. And what I and they are experiencing up close and personal makes us very reluctant to accept the bad government's numbers to defend its bad policies.

I do trust the numbers from various other sources when they mostly agree:


As of now, wages have increased slightly more than the rate of inflation but prices for rent, utilities, groceries, fuel cost more than the peak of inflation and continue to rise. The government could report the rate of inflation at zero, but if the cheapest hamburger is selling for what steak cost in 2020 and is rising, you won't convince anybody that inflation is not cutting into their buying power. Because it is.
