re: Why do "lies" told by Trump bother some folk more than lies told by career Politicians

No one touts Trump as the second coming, no one. That’s hyperbole used on this board. Most Tump supporters would gladly support an alternative that would turn the globalist power brokers upside down. But there is none. The only alternatives are wolves in sheep’s clothing, just globalist in disguise. For all Trumps flaws, he has a record, and you can’t change what the man actually did, as hard as Obamaites try.

List of politicians who are not?

But the thing that is both incredibly annoying and harmful is his cult following acting like he's the second coming of Jesus. I like his policies, but he's a grifter.

This right here. I like Trump and would vote for him. It’s his followers that annoy me. Scratch that… his vocal followers that tell me he’s the best thing ever, that annoy me.

Not a never-trumper. I'd vote for him.

I've never met a Trump supporter that believes Trump is anything like Jesus....lol, as a matter of fact most Trump supporters I know don't particularly like Trump, they just like him better than any of the current politicians running for president.

you must not know what a 'grifter' is. Trump is pretty much a straight shooter - albeit with some self-serving rhetoric.

That only means that he declares that some of his successes were greater than they actually were.

But it is NOT the same as DEMOCRAT style grifting - where they are actually doing the OPPOSITE of what they claim to be doing.

Also - everything a DEMOCRAT supports is something that benefits HIMSELF more than the general public. You cannot say that about Trump - he has not personally profited from anything he has advocated for the USA. Iff anything, he is losing money just by being a 'politician' - rather than getting rich from the effort like 90% of ALL federal level politicians.

Call him a braggart - a loose cannon - a narcissist = all apply in some degree. But he is NOT trying to monetarily gain from his service.
