He seems to never gets the benefit of doubt. Any an all ambiguity is met with taking the negative side.

But ask yourself this question, who has the propensity to do the right thing when no one is looking, Trump or Harris?

I am not saying Harris would excel in this area, either, but is that really the question you want asked about Donald Trump? I'd focus on something else.

We all should, as AMERICANS, hold ourselves to a higher standard.

I really believe POTUS Trump represents a much higher standard of an American citizen than Kamabla. But what do I know?

All you need to know is how Trump treats his children and grandchildren. And how they all revere him.

Joe Biden inexplicably tries to capitalize off of his dead son’s military service, his other son is a degenerate coke fiend, his daughter has a diary where she wrote about inappropriate showers with her father, and Joe hasn’t even acknowledged one of his grandchildren via Hunter and a stripper.


There’s no moral equivalency.

Considering the amount of digging that’s been done on him and the lack of anything of substance being revealed, I think a case could be made that Trump is one of the cleanest billionaires in history.

The MSM and their controllers have no standards so once again they are doing the twisted mental contortions in order to project their own self image onto other people that do have at least some standards.

If neither has standards then the ploy doesn’t work.

You will see the same attempt every election cycle and always from the left wing lunatics. Republican’s are always accused of not adhering to standards from the local races on up. At least they have actual standards.

And the accusations always from the mentally unstable and deviant Left whose standards are all perverts are welcome.

I’m fine with him being held to the standard he’s held to. He’s running for a high level political office.

My problem is that democrats are held to a much lower standard.

Well, this board loves Trump in a way that remains hard for me to get my head around. So be it!

I certainly would trust him over a woman who protected pedophiles in the catholic church while serving as DA of San Francisco out of fear she'd lose the catholic vote.

Career politicians are far bigger slimeballs than a man who has no reason to run for president other than the fact that he's legitimately trying to save this country from becoming Venezuela 2.0.

It's like the TikTok thread where the dude is listing reasons he's voting for Kackles and every reason is his personal problem (TDS) with Trump, no policy reasons......TRUMP!!!!

If Trump's opponents were held to the same standard of scrutiny they want to place on Trump when Trump embellishes, exaggerates, or occasionally misspeaks/lies, their lies would be exposed as being much more egregious and serious than anything Trump says.

You remind me of that meme with the college kid who despite feeling the same way about Trump as democrats, Republicans, the press, universities, Hollywood and Big Tech thinks they are part of “the Resistance”.

Populists have different sets of rules than establishment candidates. This works both ways. A populist has a different rule set with his own supporters than an establishment guy and establishment supporters can't wrap their head around this. If George Bush had been hot mic'd talking about grabbing p#ssy he's done. The corporate media is the establishment, especially at the end of an 80 year debt cycle/fourth turning. At the end of these cycles populism always rises and journalism morphs into state propaganda.

The same establishment has ruled this country since November 22, 1963. It can be characterized as a banking and military industrial cartel who believed they were exempt from the implications of the Triffin Dilemma for 50+ years. They thought they could fund the ever expanding welfare/warfare state through foreign demand for US treasuries forever. To do this you have to offshore the means of production to keep demand high for US treasuries.

The Chinese broke the ponzi in 2014 when they stopped recycling their dollars into treasuries and instead started investing in belt and road. The Obama admin tried to keep it alive by regulating financial institutions into buying the debt the Chinese were no longer buying. Meanwhile, domestically, trouble was brewing under the hood over the loss of 6M manufacturing jobs. Wealth inequality continues to explode, deaths of despair (suicide/overdoses) reach 1989 in the Soviet Union levels and along comes Donald Trump.

The establishment, confused and overconfident, in what can only be described as monumental hubris, doesn't take him seriously. Hillary doesn't even go to Michigan, the once manufacturing capital of the world and calls his supporters deplorables. Her husband of course, along with the Bush family is responsible for both NAFTA and China joining the WTO. "China joining the WTO will be good for the American worker"--Bill Clinton.

Anyway, that's a brief history on why Donald Trump can say anything and not upset his supporters while literally everything he says will upset the establishment. LOL

The left operates this way “we don’t believe in right or wrong so there are no standards that apply to us but since the right does believe in morals they’re subject to our interpretation of those morals”


It’s a built in catch 22 that’s actually bullshite but if you’re an NPC you believe it.

This is what ChatGPT said:

quote:

Donald Trump has engaged in various acts of philanthropy, though these are often less publicized than his more controversial actions. Here are a few examples where he has helped individuals financially:

Mortgage Payments: In the past, there have been reports of Trump helping people with their mortgages. For instance, after hearing about a struggling family on the news, he reportedly paid off their mortgage in 1986. This family had faced eviction after their 10-year-old son died in a car accident.

Charitable Donations: Trump has made various charitable contributions over the years. His foundation, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, donated to various causes, although the foundation has also faced scrutiny for how it was managed and the sources of its funds.

Supporting Veterans: Trump has supported veterans through financial contributions and other forms of assistance. For example, he has donated money to veterans' organizations and has helped individual veterans in need.

Helping Individuals in Need: There are other anecdotal stories of Trump providing financial assistance to individuals, such as paying off medical bills or providing financial help to people facing difficult circumstances.
