The Trump Thread

Published

I confess to back pedaling into Trump territory when I wanted to leave discussions about him in the garbage can.  My thread on the read-only break room site has 9,600 replies so I thought I'd bring up a new one.  

He's not going away.

Haberman's book is out based on interviews.  I won't read it, but the excerpts are interesting.  Especially what he says about McConnell, a description that's against the Terms of Service here, but I actually don't disagree with.  LOL

Quote

“At one point, Trump made a candid admission that was as jarring as it was ultimately unsurprising. ‘The question I get asked more than any other question: “If you had it to do again, would you have done it?”’Trump said of running for president. ‘The answer is, yeah, I think so. Because here’s the way I look at it. I have so many rich friends and nobody knows who they are.’ … Reflecting on the meaning of having been president of the United States, his first impulse was not to mention public service, or what he felt he’d accomplished, only that it appeared to be a vehicle for fame, and that many experiences were only worth having if someone else envied them.”

I'm sure you must remember she was one of the few who voted against his confirmation because she didn't trust him.

Plenty of other Dems criticized him and called him a liar.  I'm not inclined to find it for you as you'll just deflect.

Didn't the dems hate Cheney and call him a war monger nazi too? Now they love the guy? They said simular about Bush but love to talk about him when convenient.  

Democrats strategy. Call the opponent a Nazi. For at least 1940 to present. 

There is no end to the foolish hypocrisy of democrats. It's  getting really obvious. And hilarious so close to the election.

I agree.  It's pretty desperate to concoct a plan to change the way things are done in the government when your ideas for governing are so extreme, unpopular, or unconstitutional. Yet, here we are. 

And yet millions of Americans don't agree with that. Hopefully you'll know just how many Nov.5 

Oh ? Change the way things are done? Do you mean the push for mail in ballots during covid and trying to keep the mass mail in voting now? That kind of government change? 

Or how about inserting a non elected candidate in place of the elected candidate?

I have no cares or any considerations of your apparent clairvoyance that tells you I'm MAGA   

So everyone who votes for Trump is "associating themselfs with racism and misogyny "? I guess half the country is racist? 

Which will be to to go to if Harris loses. "She lost because of racism and her gender". 

 

You identify yourself as MAGA. 

Yes, Trump is a felon, fraud and rapist conman. His pathological lying is useful in that lifestyle.  People who don't mind or can justify supporting those character flaws and unacceptable behaviors will publicly defend Trump and pledge their support.  Among those will be people who share Trump's feelings about immigrants and women and fraud.   Those who are uncomfortable with that public affiliation will be quiet about supporting the deeply flawed and unfit man. 

That's an expected speculation about Harris blaming race from a fan of the racist fellow who is already blaming Jews should he lose. You just can't make this stuff up.

That's not quite the same as Harris calling the retired general a liar.  

I guess that passes as a reasonable excuse for making claims that you can't support after the retired general says that Trump is unfit for the presidency and is an authoritarian fascist.

PsychoPAC....LOL

Trump-haters using their professional credentials to influence the election.  Not one of them has examined Trump.

"Anti-Psychopath PAC is dedicated to highlighting Donald Trump's mental instability, bringing it to the forefront of national discussion. We're doing everything we can — from television and digital ads, to billboards, to voter education programs — to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House.

We have to stop this psychopath."

It's so much more upsetting than calling the sitting president demented, yes?

I don't identify as a MAGA.  I can identify as whatever I want. Isn't that the rule? 

"Exceptional speculation "? You don't consider calling or suggesting millions of people are somehow complicit or in practice of racism because they support Trump, Extreem speculation? 

Or somehow politicizing a arson offender burning a mail box? 

If she loses, we'll just see what is speculation and what is an accurate prediction.

Id imagine these "professionals " would see nothing in Biden even after his own party pushed him aside. 

Do you really take the word of "healthcare professionals" that fully admit that their agenda is to keep Trump out of office by diagnosing him with out assessment? LOL. 

They literally tell us in their own word their bias and political agenda. LOL. Get real.

Come on, it doesn't take to be in healthcare to see that joe isn't there.  He has lucid periods, but his flat affect that says "I don't know who I am," plus shaking hands with invisible people, is a telltale sign he is cognitively impaired at best. That is a fact!  No wonder the dems hid him in the basement during 2020 elections, the dem machine knew joe ain't there, but he was the ideal puppet. Anyone who things joe and much less kamala have been running the country, need a psych eval  #Trump2024 Boom!

Please do tell us kamala's accomplishments as vp, senator, AG?  This woman can't put sentences together, there's plenty of videos of her talking without a teleprompter that makes my 3 yr old more articulate.   This woman will never ever be POTUS!! Save this post!!

No kidding?  He's old as dirt and is retiring in January, thank God.  

For some reason, though, it seems to be really troubling when we want to talk about Trump's obvious mental and cognitive decline in the Trump thread.

Nah.  This is the Trump thread.  This is where we talk about Trump's disqualifying character flaws.

I have watched Trump in long interviews, he is about to be on the Rogan podcast, that is 3 hrs of none stop Q&A.  If Trump had cognitive issues, Trust me his advisors wouldn't advise to do Rogan, but he is going to.  Also, he is in public doing loads of interviews, and rallies, from my point of view, I don't cognitive decline in Trump, and I am not a republican, I am independent voter, however, I will be voting for Trump, because he is a better option than dumb as a rock kama-lala

But you don't have to have him for dinner, he's going to be POTUS and he was a great POTUS. Econ was 100% better, food prices low, gas prices LOW, mortgage interests wicked low. NO WARS!! Low unemployment, I can can go on and on.

I disagree with Trump in some things, but he is 100% better than kamala who has a nothing records in doing anything for any American. The women cannot speak without a teleprompter. She is a ball of word salad.  She won't be the first woman to become potus, she is an embarrassment for all women.  She got to be vp, because she is black and indian and a woman. She checked the boxes, she's a DEI hire.  What good is to check boxes and be unqualified.
