He’s quite intelligent. Thats the thing tho. Just like defending democrats, to constantly defend Trump, you have to feign stupidity.

I get it. I was once there myself.

My focus is on cultural issues. I want back the straight, middle class, Christian, English-speaking country grounded in western traditions that I grew up in. We may or may not be able to reverse the cultural rot that has taken hold, but damned if we don’t go down swinging.

Let's be honest here, any of the Democratic Socialist candidates for the presidency would have the US in a worse place than we are now simply because there would still be millions of illegals flooding unchecked into the US. Trump's success in stopping mass illegal immigration is 10x better than any Democratic Socialist President being in office.


I admire your honesty

And you can also hate the LEFT, while still admitting this second Trump term has been a big letdown, after the high of winning the 24 election. Alot of us actually thought we were gonna save this country and we feel duped.

Just because he ran against one of the worst candidates in history, doesnt mean he still hasn't sucked himself. Is he still 100× better than Kamala? Of course, but that's a depressingly low bar.

No shame in admitting you backed the wrong horse. Most of the handful of Bubbas around here would watch the saddle fall off, blame the horse, and swear it won the race anyway.

He's been running a con since mid November 2020 and it kicked into high gear with the documents case.

Lost in all of the Iran discussion is that we are amping up the Ukraine proxy war.


quote:

Chasing a ‘winner’, Trump fuels a Ukraine escalation he once opposed

Flattered by NATO, boosting weapons sales, and 'impressed' by Ukraine's strikes inside Russia, Trump embraces the proxy war.

Shortly before returning to the White House for a second term, Donald Trump criticized the exiting president, Joe Biden, for letting Ukraine fire long-range US missiles into Russia. “Why are we doing that?” Trump complained. “We’re just escalating this war and making it worse.”

Just as his campaign pledge of “no new wars” gave way to a regime-change war on Iran, Trump’s professed aversion to a US-fueled escalation in Ukraine is no more. At this month’s NATO summit in Turkey, Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio endorsed Ukraine’s drone attacks deep inside Russia. With the Russians “finding it more difficult to defend their own airspace,” Rubio explained, this will “create the space now to negotiate the end of this war.” Added Trump: “It’s an escalation, but it’s also an escalation that could help lead to an end.”

quote:

Despite taking office on a vow to end the war, Trump has offered more continuity. The White House spat with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky was only an interregnum. One year ago last month, Trump secretly authorized the CIA and Pentagon to help design a Ukrainian campaign targeting Russian oil refineries. US intelligence estimated that the strikes would cost Russia’s economy up to $75 million a day. “We found something that is working,” one US official remarked. Then in October, Trump quietly resumed the Biden policy he had loudly decried: helping Ukraine fire long-range, US-made ATACMS into Russian territory. Trump’s peace plan, the product of last summer’s summit with Putin in Alaska, was rolled out in November only to quickly wither in the face of war hawk opposition, including from Rubio.

I do. I thought after his first term he would die off into obscurity. But he showed me he’s the truest American patriot of any president in my time. I was conned into thinking he was a conman.

I try not to think about politicians as much as you do. They come and go at the presidential level.

It happens. Hopefully more will start realizing he (and the rest of the republicans) never had any interest in helping the American people. Only to enrich themselves on a level we have never seen.
