The Dems could've gained a lot during his first term, but wanted to pitch a fit and pump stupid Russia collusion.

Trump loves America as the founders intended, he knows what Obammy meant by Fundamental Transformation and he’s not having it!

MAGA/KAG 2020!

^ This.

Trump is all about making deals. Democrats were so blinded by hatred and impeachment dreams that they missed out on a chance to get some of their pet project legislation passed by negotiating with Trump

Nope. Never was. He is a populist. He is actually probably a little bit left of where Bill Clinton was in 1996, but the Dems have shifted so far left even a late 90s moderate seems like a right wing radical.

trump is an opportunist. He'd run as a democrat if the opportunity presented itself. lets not forget the repbulican party is still cluster frick outside of trump with tons of divided views and conflicting opinions. Trump kinda welded it all together with brute force. It was and is pretty impressive. I do expect chaos and rudderless leadership to resume once trump isn't electable anymore.

Meh I’m not even so sure. He just loves Trump. And he hates those that hate trump. And those people hate America too. So he has weaponized patriotism against his enemies. And we benefit from that.

He would solidly be a Democrat in the 80s. Most of his policies-limited immigration, anti-war, infrastructure spending, COVID bailouts, all line up with 80's democrat policies.

But let's be honest... the 2020 democrats have moved so far left they would hate 80s democrats.

Yup. They had a lot of opportunites to split him from the Conservative base. But instead... they went after stupid consipiracy theories and phone calls.

A man that lives on the top floor of a 5th avenue skyscraper (that he owns) finds more common ground with the working man than the Democratic party now.

That's where we are.

They don't even like 1990s Democrats. But they blame what those guys did on Trump and racism.


They are actively blaming Republicans for crime bills sponsored by Joe Biden and signed by Bill Clinton with reforms signed by Donald Trump. These loons don't know WTF they support. They only know OMB.

I had WOKE on one screen and Trump on the other.

WOKE was at the same time complaining about only getting $1200 + $600 extra UE/month and how much the Admin is spending overall. Idiots.

I just turned them off as they were just projecting everything they do onto the Right while accusing the Right of projecting.
