How do trump supporters convince themselves trump is the greatest president ever and does no wrong when the evidence comes out of his own mouth that he is asking foreign governments to get involved in our elections?

Because he was elected to be awful. He's the greatest president ever...at creating chaos. That's his purpose.

Ever hear of Pavlov?

Did you know that his dog and bell experiments were conducted in an effort to figure out how to condition humans?

Now you know!

Are you trying to say the GOP is the offspring of pavlov's dog?

It isn't difficult to grasp. We see Democrats collecting campaign contributions from foreign nations in the hundreds of millions for at least the last 25 years, and Republicans merely want some of that cash. You progressives supported Hillary and the hundreds of millions she acquired from Saudi Arabia to use in her 2016 campaign. Just like you supported "Slick Willy" when he was sending Gore to collect his millions from the Chinese in 1996.

So don't try to pretend that you are offended by a candidate seeking foreign sources when Democrats have been doing it for decades. The hypocrisy of the mentally-deranged left is legendary.

You ever do the grocery shopping?

Let’s say you really hate illegal immigrants and Muslims, then Trump is the greatest president ever.

I'm saying our entire society is built on a hundred years of human behavioral research done to keep us on the course desired by the donor class.

Every time we interact with media we are bombarded with attempts to manipulate us emotionally or exploit "glitches" in our cognition.
 
Usually.

But I don't see your point.

Product placement. There is an entire industry studying human responses to visual stimulation. Products don’t get to “eye level” by accident....

I think his point is grocery stores apply Pavlov's experiment on humans. For example, ever notice there's tiny mists at fruit and veg aisles? Makes them "fresh and appealing".

That's what I figured.

The applications of this research are ubiquitous. Every time we expose ourselves to media we are exposed to these techniques.

IMO these industries are the biggest threat facing the world.

They are directly responsible for our current divide, for instance. Working to keep people on their "teams" by encouraging them to dismiss anything the "other" side says (lest it deconstruct expensively constructed narratives.)

There's a reason Trump loves the poorly educated.
 
Most Republicans are acutely embarrassed by him


A good chunk vote Republican on their ballot paper and genuinely don't know what's going on except for something in the Ukraine which they couldn't place in the right continent on the map


The remaining 10-15% are die hard scumbag Republicans who would support Trump no matter what provided he didn't come out as gay and/or an Atheist.

I don't disagree. I was thinking just the other day how from birth 'rules' are being 'taught' to us. Is it any wonder one of the first words a baby utters is no? Not mom or dad. Think about how many times a child is told no by the time they are six.

Capitalism is the perfect fit for greed and it's why the ten percent control the ninety.

Probably the same way democrats can call for impeachment before they ever see a transcript or whistleblower report and then ignore that biden video, and that there was nothing in Hunter's background meriting the job he had, and ignoring that Nancy jumped on the train too without seeing the report or memo and low and behold her son is VP of one of those companies too.

Just a hunch.

Never underestimate the stupidity of the brainwashed. He's tapped into all of them:

Reagan idolizing sycophants

Jesus freaks

AGW deiniers

Conspiracy theorists

Soros!

Hillary!

Marxists Muslims, from Kenya.

You name it.

Most of us don't do any of that. Nor do we buy into the notion that investigating corruption of someone who MIGHT one day be a political opponent is some how wrong. You guys bitch that Trump hasn't followed through on his "drain the swamp" promise then get all pissy when he done. It's a big ol' glass of Kool Aid the DMC (Democrat Media Complex, formerly the MSM) is feeding all the happy little people of the left.

I don't know of any Trump supports who view Trump as the greatest President of all time - maybe just the greatest in years beginning with "2"? :cool:

Actually, I think it is more people on the right bitching that Trump has failed to keep his "drain the swamp" promise. It is the leftists who created the swamp, so they certainly don't want to see Trump destroy it. They have no need to worry, however, since Trump kept the majority of Obama's administration in place. So not only has Trump not kept his promise, he is contributing to the swamp. Can you even name the last Obama appointee Trump has replaced?

We're still waiting for Trump to clean up the EPA, pull us out of the Paris Climate Accords, repeal ObamaCare, get Mexico to pay for the wall, and generally keep the promises he made in 2016. We know it will never happen either. Trump makes promises that only Congress can keep and deliberately lies to the American people. In other words, Trump is your stereotypical politician.

Trump needs to remember what happened to the last President incumbent who made promises that only Congress could keep: "Read my lips. No new taxes!" So unless Trump wants to be a one-term President, he has exactly 12 months to get his act together.

HOW...do you ask such a stupid question when you and people like you have been championing the rat party doing the same ****ing thing for the last 3 years?

Most of the people I see bring it up also chime in with the "Mexico pay for the wall yet" mantra as well. Most of us on the right realize the continual BS the Dems are pulling is a blocking action to prevent the drainage.

I'm still waiting for the planet to cool and the oceans subside as Obama promised. Oh, and I still haven't seen any reductions in my health insurance premiums - more like double digit percentage jumps every year.

Last one that did that was a lot more recent than Bush I.

Simple...they convince themselves that it is part of Trump's genius. They don't realize that genus has nothing to do with it. Trump is the least risk averse person you are ever going to deal with in any environment. Trump is not happy unless he is hanging it out there and if he survives that he hangs it out there farther. In business, it was only money at risk. Now its the National Security of the United States and while there is still "money" at stake. Its our money...tax payers money, the Peoples assets that he plays with like toys in his sandbox.

Trump is a cavalcade of malignant pathologies and that is all he is.

You are absolutely right, there is no difference between Trump and Obama. Both deliberately lied to the American people in order to get elected. Neither had any intention of keeping any of their campaign promises. Obama was an habitually lying POS politician, and Trump is an habitually lying POS politician. At least Obama was honest enough to run for President as a Democrat, which is more than can be said about Trump who just pretends to be Republican for election purposes.
