My very liberal BIL, who walks out of the room at the Shear mention of President Trump‘s name, is starting to ask some questions. I need some help compiling a list of facts regarding President Trump and his administration, what has been accomplished etc. BIL is an engineer so I can’t give him anything conspiracy related, at this time.
I swear this Is huge. I never thought he would sway away from the dem cesspool.
I know someone posted something similar the other day, but I can’t find it.
Thanks in advance!

Show him the video Jim Jordan showed at the beginning of the Barr hearing and Nadler’s comments afterward. If he has any sense at al that should work.

How are you going to answer questions about DJT if he’s not in the room?

Ask him if he's okay with the government owning everything and telling him what he can do? If he says yes, he's a commie and there's no hope.

I have an Indian (from India) friend who voted BO twice. He went Trump over Hillary.

He texted me about how disgusted he is over the positive media treatment of Kamala vs. the insane coverage they gave Sarah Palin. He felt guilty that he believed the media with Palin.

Some of those items I wouldnt bring up unless you have the facts ready. As example: Iran agreement and Paris accord.

On surface these look bad, you have to be able to describe the flaws. Such as Paris agreement not having any language binding members to their targets. So effectively we just throw money into a blackhole and call it a win, when its obviously not.

You should mention what Trump did for the blacks with regards to black colleges and universities. Trump’s hyperbole says he “saved” many of these HBCU’s( Hisorically Black Colleges & Universities) , but the media obviously wont give him that kind of credit. Anyway , Trump gave them millions, and more importantly, he designated the funding as PERMANENT, so that made it a big deal. I would google Trump and HBCU

Turn it around and ask him what Biden or Kamala have done, when you are finished giving him your list.

Not starting any new wars

Making the child tax credit refundable

Gorsuch - He and Soto are the Supreme Court's new Odd Couple and Gorsuch has been one of the strongest defenders of the rights of the accused. More liberal on those issues than RBG

First Step Act

This is disturbing for an engineer. I'm in aerospace field, I'm an engineer, and have engineers all around me, they are predominantly conservative. I'm also in Texas so that makes a difference.

But engineers use logic and reasoning skills and think things out to the end. He is obviously not this type of engineer.

Look up 50 things they don't want you to know about Trump. Written by Jerome Hudson.

Better yet, buy the book and say if you don't read this you are racist, since it was written by a black man.

One of the first things is allocating more funding to historically black colleges than any other president.

Really hit him with the race card. His white guilt meter will go off and his brain will scramble actually thinking Trump did something good.

Then hit him with the poverty rate for black and Hispanic Americans dropped to an all time low.

Supreme Court appointments that stick with the Constitution instead of making it bend to their ideologies.
