I wouldn't say cratered his presidency. Before he jumped into this Iran thing the country was doing great. It all depends on how long he drags this out. I wish he would just cut our losses and be done with this. Get back to focusing on the economy like he was before.

It’s my humble opinion that Trump wants to control a large share of the world’s natural resources to gain wealth and global power. Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, and now Iran. He also wanted Ukraine’s rare earth minerals as a deal to provide aid.

Definitely not out of the realm of possibility. "That was cool, let's do it again!"

It hasn’t been good but I would still vote for him over any candidate that says someone with a dick is a “real woman” and should be able to use the women’s bathroom.

Trump could start WW3 and I would vote for him over the side that pushes that shite

Don’t forget the Epstein and JFK files.

Just curious. What metric?

This needed to happen and was happening well before Trump

Yeah it's higher than I'd like and it's worse because of his decision to poke the bear with Iran. I will give you that

and he’s handing the Democrats the midterms on a silver platter.



This was probably going to happen no matter what. The only way I don't see it being a landslide is because of the re-districting.

Stock markets have generally gone up every year since 2008. That is not unique to Trump nor is it indicative of jobs or affordability.

Unforced error but still needs to play out.

His second term has been nothing but making sure his family and buddies get richer while everyone else gets screwed. Dude is a straight-up fraud and just another crooked politician who threw his own constituents under the bus and lied to them the entire time. Hopefully he gets removed before he can do any more damage.

If all Trump 2.0 does is secure elections and 86 the NFA, it will be a hugely successful term in my opinion.

I really hate it, because I was ecstatic when he won, but I’m just done trying to defend him.


A lot more people than this board will ever admit feel this way. I’m not quite there yet as it’s not all been bad, but I’ve grown tired of listening to the Fox News demographic cheer when the likes of Mark Levin call multiple generations of conservative men ungrateful when they dare question the approved narratives of conservative inc.

Who else besides Hegseth could that have been?

Trump lost the plot when Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

That's what is disappointing to me. All he had to do was secure the border and pretty much do nothing else. I don't know where the aggressive foreign policy came from, but I knew Rubio as SOS was not a great sign.

Still doesn’t try to push the delusion that “trans women are real women”. The moment the left started trying to make it legal for public schools to hide a kid’s mental health from parents (like fricking predators) is when it became a single voter issue for me.

Unforced error in every sense of it

Nobody cared about Iran but the Iran bros will be here soon to justify it somehow

If YOU listen to the Main Stream Media all day, if anyone is that big a dunce, then I guess you could be correct. But the MSM will find whatever is needed like Russia, Russia, Russia, or EGG PRICES (LOL) to hammer Trump because he is a threat to their BS.

Iran are state terrorists, his problem was listening to Bannon, people like you, and not finishing the job on those coward scum. I would bet anything, through BACK CHANNELS the Dem party leaders are telling Iran to hold off and if they get elected they will shut off funds, they are all evil, they only care about power, and money. They sell us out to China at every turn.

You buy the MSM BS, I don't. I see the border locked down, I see the manufacturing coming back, I see the inflation way down from Biden, and the gas prices are high because of the INFLATION under Biden, you do understand once you have high inflation the floor is RESET right? If not for Bidents 7 trillion spending package and four year high inflation marks, the gas prices would have been un der 2 dollars when Trump took office and the war might have raised it to 2.5 or 3 dollars a gallon. So, its not the war that created high gas prices, it was Bidens spending.

Agreed. I hope the men unable to admit this, at least to themselves, get the help they need.
