Simple question, what is the cause of so much criticism of Trump.

[uptower]

He revels in creating controversy. His followers love him for it. Then they blame everyone else for the backlash when he does something controversial...

 

[Risky Thicket]

He's a fascist. His supporters are fascist. His movement is a fascist movement. His supporters do not believe in the U.S. Constitution. His supporters seek to replace our Republic with a dictatorship.

If I may add, he is in no way qualified.

It is as if Trump was dropped onto earth from another planet. He knows very little about United States, our form of democracy, American history, history in general for that matter. He does not understand social protocol. He doesn't understand economics. Ironically his degree in economics from Wharton was a total waste of time. His does not understand diplomacy. He is socially and culturally inept. Trump does not lead but rather he assumes that everyone will follow him.

Personal sacrifice is completely unknown to Trump. I can't recall of anything Trump has ever done for the greater good that wasn't transactional. Donald Trump has no allegiance to the United States of America. Hell, he doesn't even know what the Declaration of Independence is. He doesn't know the words to the national anthem. He doesn't know the pledge of allegiance.

Trump hates the military. He's jealous of men and women in uniform because he never had the balls to step up - and he knows it.

Trump is a bigot.

Most Americans expect a president to be able to represent the nation, all people at all times. Trump cannot because he does not understand. Trump does not share our common experiences of being Americans. He is superficial in every way.

Yes, you do not understand the effect of wealth upon geopolitics.

Was this supposed to be an example of your displaying your understanding of wealth/geopolitics?

Because, um.....there is nothing there, nor does it in any way support your other blurts.

Are you this bad at everything else, or this an anomaly?

You will own nothing and you will be happy.

Trump put a target on his back the first time he said to make America great again. Those invested in the process of globalization were threatened by such a notion, so sprung into action to convince people that he was the sum of all their fears.

It worked. His being a petulant ass of a man certainly made it easier for them, but the central dynamic at play has to do with national sovereignty vs centralized decision making.

 

[CharisRose]

Most of the criticism (as I believe you are saying) is unfounded. Neither DOGE which did a great job of identifying government waste, problematic programs/agencies, and partisan spending. Nor use of tariffs which have not only forced foreign nations who have been bleeding us with their own tariffs, VATs, and other charges to modify them, but has brought in a significant amount of money to the Federal coffers.



LOL? There have been 11 Presidents caught cursing.

After Joe Biden Called A Fox News Reporter "A Stupid SOB," I Found 11 Other Presidents Who Were Caught Cursing

Maybe they should check to see if the mic is on next time?

I think Trump deserves the opportunity to use an expletive or two now and then when dealing with entrenched roadblocking. Moreover, most if not all Presidents have engaged in negative commentary when discussing political opponents, foreign issues of concern, or just bad situations made worse by incompetence.



Well Trump is not interested in most "non-conservative values." He's all about America First. Kavanaugh? He usually rules on the Conservative side of issues and the accusations against him from the lone female accuser were so lame and unsupported it was obvious B.S. from the start.

D.E.I. "initiatives" are Leftist B.S. too. As for "calling on the Military" there is plenty of history of that too. Rx. When Governor Faubus called up the Arkansas National Guard to enforce segregation laws, President Eisenhower took them over and also sent in units of the 101st Airborne too to make sure Black students were protected when going to and attending schools.



Exactly! He has that authority too. Something that has been exercised by several Presidents since the law passed by Congress after the attack on the World Trade Center. Including Bush, and Obama to name just a couple.



Correct!

Great informative and to the point post. HEAR!HEAR!

 

[grip]

Trump is just a fallible man with some smart and not so smart thoughts. His main downfall, like many, is his ego.

 

[What if...?]

Huh?

Obviously didn’t wait for the “crisis response plan” to be crafted and disseminated.

 

[jaypatriot]

Indeed. So much so, that it's my post's signature.


Agreed. Still haven't achieved the level of self awareness or outside news and information sources that their constant and baseless accusations of Hitler, Fascist, Dictator is what lost them that election, as well as throwing Biden under the bus and putting Harris in without a single primary vote.




I hope all the New Yorkers who vote for that disaster in waiting get what they vote for.

I must be astute to where I appropriated the same Reagan quote that you appropriated.

Re NYC and its descent into Socialism, I wonder if most citizens there will be smart enough to stick with Eric Adams instead of Mamdani the full-blown self-declared Socialist.
So glad I will never live there again. Fifteen years for me was enough.

 

[jaypatriot]

Nope. But it is apparent you are having some saddest from the theme of this thread. I could NEVER invest this much love or devotion to a political leader. But hey, if Trump does it for ya, good for you. Just stop moaning and groaning every time someone says something nasty about Trump. It makes you sound petulant.

There are lots of bad things to say about Trump, especially that which comes from a poster who regularly copies and pastes vile epithets to describe how he really feels about our entire country's duly elected president.

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

vile epithets

Yes yes yes, and for the last time, yes. WE get that Trumpers are whiny little children who can't abide one bad word about their leader. BUT to keep making it THIS obvious just gets boring.
Cry and moan all you want, and keep doing so on a daily basis, all day long. No one here is going to care. Trump is a jackass. I hope that is a vile enough epithet to keep you hopping mad for a few days. So, let me repeat- Trump is a jackass.

Just a single (mild) epithet for a leader you despise?
You can probably say that on network TV an get away with it.

Haven't seen a single deal yet.

 

[W_Heisenberg]

Do not expect principle where there is none.

I don't, but I do expect @justoneman to explain why he supports a warmonger like Trump since he claims to hate wars and warmongers.

Sometimes a leader needs to act warlike in order to prevent a war. Who gets to decide that? The Commander-in-Chief, the people, or the opposing political party?
It's a good thing it's not the anti-Trumpers who love to visit this site.

 

[L88]

He's probably the world's biggest asshole in the purest definition.

But there have been some things from him I like and feel are needed.

I still would never be able to vote for him.

Trump was a total ***** about this whole thing. An utter wimp.

Do you think Biden was a warmonger?

I don't know about a a whimp but highly uncomfortable, unconventional and unprofessional.

If you're gonna smack a nation like Iran, you make sure they stay smacked.

Kameini should have been a target. The revolutionary guard barracks should have been a target.

Except Biden. Right?

 

[Hamish Howl]

Nope.

Apparently we are supposed to believe that he is a warmonger because he helped the Ukrainians defend themselves against that bald Russian guy that is of course NOT a warmonger.

That's my first instinct. I'm hoping there's some high IQ logic driving this event that's ready for the various out comes.

Slight tangent, I'm thinking when the plans are released, it's going to be dated some where between 2021 and 2024 with Biden's initials on the corners and notes. Not Biden's plan but conceived during his Administration.

 

[L88]

Nope.

You're right
Targeting brown people trying to get the life they desire with a cruise missile can't be called war.
