I prefer civility and basic decency to one another, so yes.

And those aren't conservative principles. Those should be more (ironically) liberal principles, but there are very few classical liberals actually left in this country. Their party has been highjacked as have the Republicans.

As far as I'm concerned, Trump destroyed the two party system. It for all intents and purposes does not exist and Washington is currently in chaos on how to actually handle Trump. The Democrats are a chicken with their head cut off and Trump has a knife to the Republicans throats and is holding them hostage. He is not a conservative.

quote:

He is putting this nation and its citizens first. When was the last time someone in Washington did that? God Bless him for that.


Well, I can't say definitively if he is actually doing that. He seems to be keeping some promises, but I have a hard time believing this depraved narcissist actually puts anything (save for maybe his children) over himself.

You should be more concerned with the well being of America than pissing off people you don't like. You're a child.

Trump may not be a pure conservative but he's surrounded himself with the most conservative group of people in the WH in my lifetime.

Reagan's economic policy was all about the rich getting richer. I'm sure Trump will take that to a new level.

He is supporting conservative principles and keeping his promises to the American people. Good enough for me.


But his platform was never about conservative principles. Everyone in the country knows (or should know) that he is not a conservative at all and what he's doing is something a classical conservative would approve of.

If you want to find a classical conservative, go find Ben Shapiro, and he will go at length and tell you precisely why Trump is not representing conservative values.

I swear Trump supporters are more concerned with how much Trolling he does to the left than good he does for America.



I think slowly but surely they'll see this.

Because that's more a classical liberal principle!

Not saying he's wrong, but a conservative would want less government regulation on what businesses do abroad. Liberals want some form of government control. You're proving my point.

Yep. He's easily the most conservative POTUS since Reagan.

Were you alive during Reagan's presidency? Why don't you have your parents compare Jimmy Carter with Ronald Reagan, then get back to us.

Free trade is free trade. It means no tarrifs and taxes and the ability to conduct business in multiple countries without government regulations.

"Fair" trade means government intervention. It's what real conservatives hate.

Don't be stupid and try to act as if what you like is "conservative". Because it's not.
