If you were interested in the truth of this rather than being mesmerized by your own biases , you could just do the kind of thought experiment we did back in debate class and imagine yourself as a Trump voter surveying the American scene. Then it would make immediate sense why people enthusiastically support him.

Corporate growth is not the problem. The problem is the convergence of corporate and government interests. Corporations that profit from executing regime policy deserve what's coming. If you think Donald Trump is the one enabling that, or that he's doing so to a degree remotely close to what Barack, Soros and Joe are . . . you're out of your tree.

Communism requires central planning, like tariffs and trade deals.

Free markets allow individuals to make individual choices.

Seems like a standard GOPe talking point. Pro-american energy, clean coal.

Secure borders thus putting upward wage pressure on working class.


Again standard GOPe talking point. "Obama opened the border. Trump closed it. Biden opened it again. Now we need your help to close it". I haven't seen any commitment to increasing wages of the lowest earners from Trump and if he did take this as a policy direction he'd be met with howls of derision within his own party despite it being an extremely popular move with the electorate at large.

“Ignore the fact that the FBI, DOJ and DNC colluded with the MSM to go after Trump for 8 years now while they ignored corruption, treason, and democrats committing criminal acts. Ignore that the GOPe aligned with them. Ignore the fact that they lied about Hunter Bidens laptop in an attempt to influence an election and bypassed state constitutional laws to push mail in voting. Just ignore all of this and then tell me why you still support Trump.”

You are a pathetic little cuck

His tax cuts helped lower and middle earners the most, you got to keep more of your money.

Look if you wanna come out and say "hey yeah I love Trump because he's been in a pissing match with the national intelligence apparatus and federal law enforcement" you can just come out and say it.

That is one genuine difference between him and the GOPe.

Obviously the next question will be why James Comey gave Trump such favorable treatment in 2016...

A basic economics class would benefit you greatly, and cut most of your posting on this board out.

So, you choose to subsidize woke corporations, and now claim we can only buy what the let us buy. Why would I subsidize that?

What commitment were you looking for on lowest earners? Minimum wage increase? If you want to help the low income workers keep illegal's from coming in the country. They are taking the low paying jobs. If there is a bigger demand for these workers than supply I can assure you wages would increase. Now that we have about 5 million low wage workers because of immigration you will not see low wage increases because the supply of them are high.

So, to phrase this another way, "why would anyone want to make America Great again"?
As usual, you miss the point.

The question is "What did Trumpism DO to 'Make America Great Again,'" and the corollary ... did it even remotely succeed in that undertaking?
