Donald used to be a Democrat! "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats..." according to Donald Trump.

"It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans." - Donald Trump

"But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." - Donald Trump

Trump registered as a Republican in Manhattan in 1987; since that time, he has changed his party affiliation five times.

In 1999, he changed his party affiliation to the Independence Party of New York. In August 2001, Trump changed his party affiliation to Democratic. In September 2009, he changed his party affiliation back to the Republican Party. In December 2011, Trump changed to "no party affiliation" (independent). In April 2012, he again returned to the Republican Party.

In a 2004 interview, Trump told CNN's Wolf Blitzer: "In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat", explaining: "It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats...But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disaster under the Republicans." In a July 2015 interview, Trump said that he has a broad range of political positions and that "I identify with some things as a Democrat."

During his 2016 campaign for the presidency, Trump consistently described the state of the United States in bleak terms, referring to it as a nation in dire peril that is plagued by lawlessness, poverty, and violence, constantly under threat, and at risk of having "nothing, absolutely nothing, left". In accepting the Republican nomination for president, Trump said that "I alone can fix" the system, and pledged that if elected, "Americanism, not globalism, will be our credo." He described himself as a "law and order" candidate and "the voice" of "the forgotten men and women". Trump's inaugural address on January 20, 2017, focused on his campaign theme of America in crisis and decline. He pledged to end what he referred to as "American carnage", depicting the United States in a dystopian light—as a "land of abandoned factories, economic angst, rising crime"—while pledging "a new era in American politics".

Ever the opportunist. The man’s track record is no allegiance to anyone or anything, an absolute amoral little man.

 

[Yakshi]

As an aside about debatepolitics in general, where have the Trump supporters gone?

There used to be so many of them here.

Now, their numbers have dwindled, and they're giving such low-energy posts.

Is this how they handle depression?

Too often the Bidenistas on this forum mistaking a posters agreement with one of Trumps arguments as being a MAGA. Neither side seems to accept the fact that there are some people on this forum who are independent. It’s way past time to see that nothing’s all black nor all white.

What matters is one's voting record. If one repeatedly votes for tRump, they're a trumper.

Nah, they are still out there. It just right now, it's kind of embarassing for them to poke their heads out from behind the trees. What with all the nation has come to learn about Donald J. Trump, coupled with the detestable people he has surrounded himself with, the lies, the rambling bullshit, inability to complete a thought or a sentence, it ain't easy being a loyal lapdog for Lord Trump these days.

We should cut 'em some slack as an act of human kindness. Enough division.

I mean, what if you put all your faith and emotional investment into a cult figure personality and then, one day, finally realize that your idol has been blowing smoke up your ass for years and you willfully let him. Only their sense of betrayal could possibly outweigh their sense of embarassment that they must feel for having once supporting him and defending him at every turn. That's gotta hurt. Let's not make it hard for them to return to reality. Show some compassion. We should strive for unity and welcome the ex-Trump cultists back on the island and help them to assimilate back into normalcy. We could start by letting them fix the potholes. They could earn back their respect one hole at a time.

How would you know if they’ve always voted for Trump unless they told you?

My post is not about independents. It is about Trump-supporting forumers who since my arrival had been making daily posts supporting Trump over that period.

They're gone.

 

[Yakshi]

How would you know if they’ve always voted for Trump unless they told you?

Because they told anyone who would listen for years, almost as if they believed that supporting Trump was a matter of . . . pride.

 

[Airyaman]

Trump is very loyal...to himself and money.

 

[gman]

I’ve been accused of being a MAGA because of some of my posts even tho’ I voted for Biden and have said so. And, I have no intention of voting for him again. So there goes your argument.

 

[SenorXm/Sirius]

Wasn't he in the Reform Party/Ross perot too?

This is so depressing that so many really support this guy.

For some reason, you seem determined to make my remarks about you.

First, I have no clue who you are.

Second, I am for the most part talking about a period of time on the forum when you were not even a member.

So there goes your argument.

Aside from using my own experience to highlight an error in your statement I challenge you to list all of my remarks about me. I’m not the only one who cites their own personal experiences on this forum.

 

[Phys251]

Irrelevant. Their actions give them away.

Your “irrelevant” response took a lot of forethought. Your brain must hurt.

And it's way past time to acknowledge that when the conduct of someone is so reprehensible, so antithetical to all that America stands for, they must be opposed even if they mention a few nuggets of policy you agree with. You know the whole Mussolini thing, Yea, but he made the trains run on time?

In that context, I disagree because many things are in fact black and white. And many things aren't.

 

[Isidore]

... I voted for Biden and have said so. And, I have no intention of voting for him again.

You're not planning on voting for someone who isn't even in the race? Bold choice.

My bad. I meant that I wouldn’t vote for Trump again.

Lyndon LaRouche ALSO said he was a Democrat.
How many Dems voted for him? Almost none.

The point I'm getting at is, the political party that a lunatic identifies with doesn't change the fact that they're a lunatic.
Larry Flynt said he was a Republican and while not quite a lunatic, nobody took his claim seriously when he tried to run for President as a Republican.

Dems already HAD their Trump moment, with LaRouche.

If trolling doesn't lift their spirits, fishing does. All they ever seem to do anymore, the ones still actively posting here anyway.
