I haven't turned against Trump and I won't. I don't demand perfection just dedicated effort on behalf of our country.
Agree 100%
It seems like a lot of people wouldn’t peel an onion before cooking it.

Just an incredibly disappointing second term. He had one of the largest public mandates in history with both houses of Congress and completely took his eye off the ball.


He didn’t get half of the popular vote agsinst a terrible candidate. Republican’s barely won the house. It wasn’t close to one of the biggest mandates in history.

Still, his initial start was very good. He got the big beautiful bill passed, the border under control, and he established a lot of momentum.

But his inability to work deals via compromise, and his my way or the Highway strategy has really hurt him. He got spread way too thin.

His foreign policy has been terrible. Domestically he is open to attacks on inflation, affordability, and tariffs.

True. When you throw out an ad hominem, it means you've lost right away.
I generally agree, but this board doesn't operate by standard rules.

If someone can only answer a 300-word post with a one-word insult, then yes, he obviously lost the actual argument. He didn’t rebut anything.

But when a large chunk of the audience regards “insulted the guy I disagree with” as a devastating counterargument, as many of the posters here do, then he won the only contest they’re intellectually equipped to judge.

Logically, he lost. In the middle-school cafeteria scoring system much of this board uses, he crushed it.

I would still vote for him over Kamala.


The fact that you have to add this in this forum is depressing and shows how far too many here on the right are just like the progressive left and only deal in absolutes.

Its been 6 months of a war that was supposed to be over in 4 weeks...

The US is worse off today than it was 6 months ago before this bullshite started.


That sums it up nicely. And there are no indications that Iran will ever capitulate or negotiate, no matter how much damage we cause.

Started with the Iran bombings last year, then the 50 year loan and Epstein circus and final straw was the war.
I forgot about the 50 year loan idea. Looney tunes!

His failure of a second term is going to cost us dearly. The Dems are going to win in 2026 and 2028 and we going to race to the left:

Open borders
Crazy tax increases
Crazy business regulations
Massive corruption (reinstating USAID)

It’s going to get really bad.


This is yet another reason why it was stupid to nominate him. 2024 was a gift to us. The Biden administration was very unpopular and a ton of Dems were in vulnerable Senate seats. If we nominated a fire breathing conservative we would've been able to cripple the left with implementing a high volume of conservative policies and cripple the woke movement. We would've been set up for the next decade+.

Instead we have gotten very few conservative policies implemented, a pointless war, and more out of control spending and inflation. We have emboldened the "woke right" - MAGA RINO's and populists. The people to blame are primary voters and grifters (Michael Knowles, Catturd, Tucker, Posobiec, Candace Owens, etc.) who claimed to be conservative but were all about the grift.

I think it’s fairly obvious now that we don’t have the military supply chain to relentlessly attack them. Maybe they should have known that before they started.


Yeah But! Trump is paying off his campaign financiers, Military Industrial Complex.
Those guys play dirty.

I changed my mind. Trump can stay after claiming the more US territory today.
