While I dislike Trump, and he's probably a terrible racist, my uncle tells a story of meeting trump at his hotel and introducing himself and having a nice interaction. After some hours , he saw Trump again, said hi and Trump remembered his name. My uncle is rich but dresses modestly, so he didn't look like a rich guy. He said Trump was kind. I still dislike Trump, but IMO, any disdain he has for the common man pales in comparison to that of Hillary. And he's reflexively anti military adventurism. That alone puts him lightyears ahead of Hillary.

I get that, and I bet he is a nice to individuals. But he put kids in cages, wanted to bomb Mexico, thought bleach might protect against covid, he treats women terrible, I mean who has an affair like that when their wife is giving birth? And he cheats. His University. He is responsible for three thousand of law suits, because throughout his career, instead of paying people, he would refuse payment and then let them try to use the courts to force him to pay. The list of troublingTrump behaviors is long indeed.

He didn't invade Iraq. He actually criticized Bush for doing so at the time. Somehow, the mass murderer and torturer (Bush) is now accepted by Democratic politicians and voters, while the guy who was against that war (Trump) is not.

And as for kids in cages, Biden's kept putting them there, and they were put in there under Obama. So you're against putting kids in cages but you still like those guys?

If you're any kind of lefty then you should care about the drone program far more than "Trump treats women bad." You know what's worse than treating women bad? Blowing women to pieces. Obama started that. Trump continued it, and he shouldn't have, but for fuck's sake have a sense of proportion and treat war crimes as more serious than pussy-grabbing. If you have principles instead of merely being a blind partisan, then you will acknowledge that Democrats have done horrifying stuff as well, and in some cases worse stuff than Trump.

Rob I completely agree. There is nothing worst than war. Nothing. Let us hope that, whoever is our president, we are never in another war again.

I'm glad that we agree on that, and I'm sorry that I jumped to conclusions about you.

I've seen so many people talk about how Trump is bad while simultaneously embracing Never Trump Republicans or war hawks on the Democratic side that I've gotten into the unfortunate habit of thinking that everybody who criticizes Trump is going to be the same kind of hypocrite. You've reminded me that this isn't true of everybody, and that I should do my best to get out of that habit.

Have you got the notification yet that you have been completely canceled? How dare you write such things where people could read them.

Trump put kids into cages, but it was the liberals’ beloved Lying Messiah, Hussein Obama, who put the cages there and began putting kids into them. Well, along with Sloppy Joe Biden. It just didn’t become evil until Trump took office.

This is the story you tell yourself. in order to protect your love of Trump. Obama's administration built the facility, but there were never 'children in cages.' Think of it this way: your beliefs and thoughts create reality; whatever you believe, you will find evidence for it. If you believe Trump was the greatest president or the worst, you will find oodles of 'evidence' to support that belief.

Actually, the pictures that your leftist mainstream media was showing all of you sheep were taken during the Hussein Obama regime. Like I said, it only became evil after your beloved Lying Messiah slithered out of office… but I am OK with any story you tell yourself. Odd how often it agrees exactly with whatever you found in the Kool-Aid.
