I don’t like Trump but I can’t vote for Biden and what the Dems are proposing.

I love my freedom.

You are still speaking in generalities. Are you mad about the continued aluminum tariffs on Canada? What about making NATO partners pay their treaty agreed payments? Are you worried about decreasing troop presence in Germany? How do you feel about the administration designating TiTok a foreign policy threat? Are you happy with the process of talks with NoKo? Do you agree with the tariffs on China?

Just looking for specifics. Foreign policy is a massive subject.

What exactly did he do wrong that you feel ANYONE else would have done differently that would have been better for the U.S.? Please name whatever politician you think would have the U.S in a better position.


Criticizing his COVID actions is a joke. Any national actions he takes and he is labeled a dictator and challenged if he even has the legal authority to do those actions. He has made sure all states have everything they need from a national support level. He literally shut down travel from the source and was blasted by the left. So I am to believe that any of the Democrats would have done better than Trump when they did not even want to stop travel into America? So from their actions, I gather Biden would have let all travelers from abroad into the US but shut down everything in the US. Yes, that seems like a recipe for success, LOL.

Have you watched the "News" in the last 4 years? If he didn't tweet, would millions of American's even KNOW he was spied on and that ALL of the Russia BS was a Hoax??!!

Can you imagine the overall picture that would be painted of Trump if he wasn't so keen on striking back as assertively as he does, to rebut all the accusations and vitriol thrown at him? If he were to just let all that stuff stand, or even just mildly deny these things??

That would strike me as very weak, if he didn't handle these things like he does. Sure, hindsight sometimes dictates that perhaps certain instances could have been addressed in a little different way, but what other choice does he have than to take the bull by the horns??

I just feel like for the covid-19 thing, either take it serious and impose restrictions nationally for a short term, or possibly on a federal level help the at risk and keep them safe and allow everyone else to keep the economy going, or do as Brazil’s president has done and just let it go. I feel like it’s a different message everyday on a federal level, one day he’s serious about it and the next he doesn’t care. I’m not saying I even care much about the virus itself or anything like that, just be consistent about whether you care or not.

I know this is the Poli-board which leans incredibly right but Trump is an incredibly arrogant a-hole who is looking out for his cause. He is not popular amongst the world's leaders in the way that he is conducting global business which may have rubbed a few leaders the wrong way.

Guess what, Trump may be an arrogant a-hole but he is my arrogant a-hole fighting for the United States of America.

You probably feel like it’s a different message every day because we are a pretty large country and different regions of the country are dealing with different stages of the virus. We are too big geographically to apply a one size fits all solution.

You need to think and use common sense.

I notice you didn't give any examples of the allies that he is alienating that will hurt us.

I also notice you didn't give the name of ANY politician that you think would have done better.

Of all of the horseshite you mentioned, that may be the biggest pile of all.

Do you really think he doesn't care about this country after everything he's done?

Really?

Really?

No. I think his foreign policy is a strong point. Unfortunately, the U.S. doesn't have allies. We have dependents. And like a good parent, we need to cancel their allowance, kick them out of the house, and reclaim the basement. Daddy Trump has told them "We love you. Come home for the holidays, but we're not washing your dirty laundry".

As a parent of high school and college kids I can totally relate.

I’m not mad about any of it, I’m concerned about the tariffs on Canada, I’m concerned with the removal of troops from ramstein in germany, TikTok seems to be a little bit of low hanging fruit honestly. NATO, sure, everyone needs to contribute their two percent share but as far as attempting to pull out of nato and leave our allies to fend for themselves, that I do not agree with whatsoever. America has been taken advantage of for years, that I agree with 110%, but I just feel as though some of the decisions are a bit short sighted. Pulling out of nato, imposing tariffs on America’s closest ally, those are actions that can damage the us as a whole on an economic front, as well as a potential war with China.

Y’all are acting like I’m automatically one of those “republicans for Biden” idiots, and I’m not. What I am is someone who doesn’t blindly agree with every move that Trump makes. I support trump from a perspective of “he loves his country and will do whatever he can to ensure it’s success” but I don’t necessarily agree with everything he does. I voted trump in 2016 primarily for economic reasons and primarily on the back of pulling us out of the hole the Obama administration put us in. I’ll be voting trump again for the simple fact that even though I don’t necessarily agree with every decision he makes, I won’t be subject to something akin to red dawn where socialism and Marxism are the law of the land.

I love how you cut the quote to make it sound incredibly arrogant and stupid. Either you care about the covid-19 thing or you don’t.... changing your position and your rhetoric on it daily does nothing productive. Either don’t pay attention to it, let it spread, and gain herd immunity, or pay close attention, do what is necessary to stop it, and us move on as a country. Switching positions on a weekly basis is dragging the issue out longer than it needs to be.
