I voted for Trump because he came down the escalator and said he would build a wall on our Southern border. I paused the TV and ran to get my husband so he could hear it too. We voted for Trump every time for the wall. That was all we wanted.

Everything else is lagniappe.

It was TRUMP who framed Desantis this way so that people voted for TRUMP

No one wanted another George Bush

And yet, that’s exactly what we are getting with 3X the spending

No one is taking you seriously because you can’t see the obvious - Trump keeps stepping on his own dick

I like Ron, but he was just super awkward during the campaign. Also, on a certain issue that a lot of people aren't fans of Trump for, Ron is even worse. And, you're right, he may have been a neocon on foreign policy.


Very awkward. Most thought his wife had his ear, his campaign was terrible. He also never had a chance from day one running against Trump. It may have been one of the most ignorant things someone has done in politics, Ron had 2028 in the bag if he didn’t run.

We also have the fewest Federal employees since 1966 and that is because Trump has cut those jobs and spending in departments

His abortion stuff killed his national chances. His electability became almost 0 after that.

For all his faults, Trump knows he has to ignore the super conservatives and adopt a fairly liberal position on abortion to remain viable.

I find abortion disgusting but Trump already did the right thing on it at a federal level by sending it back to the states.

I agree running on it nationally is suicide

In dollar amount? Maybe.

Not in percentage of expenditures. Not even close.

That’s a charitable reading. It’s misframing and purposeful dishonesty.

That’s how these same posters operated in the primary.

When some of us said “DeSantis is more principled and disciplined,” we were mocked and laughed at.

Now those same posters are mad that Trump isn’t principled and disciplined.

No shite, idiots.

Really?

Compare Trump’s spending to Bush’s - Trump spent WAY more

We are in another war in the Middle East for…reasons

The elite class is as protected as ever before

Indians and foreigners are coming in mass to take American jobs

I bet you didn’t even know that Bush apprehended twice as many illegals at his peak than Trump did at his peak during their first terms. And the correlation doesn’t stop there: W Bush was lauded as way more conservative in his first term and then made a huge about face shift in his second term - pushing for a ME war with Iraq and facilitating the largest bailout of the elite class in history up until Trump’s COVID retardation

He can’t even go on TV and talk about his campaign promise accomplishments because knows he hasn’t hit any of them. He goes on TV and rambles on about big beautiful bill, oil prices (gone), and Iran. No one sees those as accomplishments.

Yes, but some people are capable of looking at actual results instead of personality.

Doubtful. A moderately successful Trump 2.0 term launches JD straight to the White House.
