This thread is a pretty good microcosm of this board and Trump supporters.

You can see many, probably most Trump supporters have replied and stated they are pro-Trump but his statement was dumb then he doubled down with something even dumber. We all have biases, but at least those folks are striving to be as unbiased as possible.

Then you have the other set of folks who will blindly defend defend defend no matter what and let be as biased as they possibly can. And unfortunately, it's those few folks who are the loudest and tend to post the most, without ever really providing substance in their retorts.

And those few folks give the rest of the pro-Trump crowd a bad rep because the few are, as I said, loud and love to be heard, so the rest of them get lumped in with that crowd unfortunately.

What Trump NEEDS to do is just shut up about it. Never make mention of it again. Don't defend it, don't deny it, nothing. Just let it go away.

BUT if asked about it, just say something like... "Yeah, in hindsight, I probably could have handled that better" and be done with it.

What concerns me is the damage this is doing to the Republican party.

It's a catch 22. He sometimes drags the GOP reluctantly to where most republican voters want it to be, but he is so undisciplined he makes a lot of cringeworthy comments and/or tweets. Most of us can see beyond it, but you have to be able to draw the "soft support" as well to win elections and to put your party in power which controls the legislative process and power of the purse.

Exactly.

Being a boot licker is not even consistent with conservative principles.

I voted Trump, will vote for him again. The Left in power is a lot scarier to me than these kinds of fibs.

Been saying that since before he was elected... Dude has the policies and gonads to do whats right, but frick, he says some of the stupidest shite. He's his own worst enemy. And I know he rambles and goes on because he doesn't get a fair shake from the media, but its terrible.



This^^^ is the difference between Americans with TDS and the patriots who understand Trump is far from an eloquent speaker but the man's policies are without question pro America First. Dude will say some whacky shite but I got over that during the primary in 2016 because he was the only one who seemed to care about restoring America to the unquestionable alpha Superpower of the world.....he was the only candidate who was 100% against NWO Globalism and that's why he got my support and continues to have my support.

Most posters on a politics board are going to be political junkies and thus able to ddo this.

The problem is the “great u washed” who see nothing but the buffoonish behavior.

At least it is not as bad as Boris Johnson. (Interesting tidbit, Boris was a US citizen until a few years ago).

”Context” is a two-edged sword.

I agree that what he was TRYING to say was not NEARLY as stupid as what he actually said.

But the same can be said of 99% of the stupid “gotcha” quotes we see here every damned day ... be they from Trump or another GOPer or a Dem.

“57 states” anyone?

Don't know why he cannot deign to mix in a little statesmanship into his instinctive prowess.

I know he has to hi-five himself to get any kind of positive message out thru the media mud screen, but he is so juvenile at it.

Does he act this way in real life - i.e. before politics??

POTUS could have handled it better (and indeed phrased things poorly), but he also may be trolling a bit



The media needs to keep their interpretation of corrosive chemical “facts” straight
