Trump’s “I only need 6 months” argument is one of the dumbest ever

He also takes it one step further by arguing that DeSantis’ proposal of 8 years of a conservative President is a weakness.

1. Trump is literally asking for another 4 years after already having 4 years.

2. Trump’s presidency followed up by Biden is proof that fixing the country is not a short term project.

3. The argument shows a lack of understanding or appreciation for the war the Left is fighting on us. The Left has been trying to destroy the foundation of this country for decades and they will not stop trying anytime soon. 6 months of a Trump presidency is all we need? bullshite.


The argument is really too dumb to even address, but of course there are enough people out there who are eating it up that it needs to be.

If Trump is the Republican nominee, i'll vote for him a third time, but he has said some really cringey shite recently. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't at least vote against Brandon or whoever else the left puts up but I wish Trump would chill out on some of the BS he's been spewing lately.

If this were the case, would you be addressing it? Who is more dumb, the one making the dumb argument or the one addressing the dumb argument that is too dumb to address?

Nothing meaningful can be done that quickly regardless of who says it. A bunch of EOs flipping back and forth is a small bandaid on a large wound.

So the next time you tell somebody “I’ll be over in a minute” do you mean you’ll be over soon or in 60 seconds exactly”

It is stupid.

Of course, if he said "give me a supermajority in the Congress and I only need 6 months" that would at least make more sense.

I would rather have a blustery egoistic attitude than a bumbling one that prolongs the two step of DC. All those tweets, mean things I don’t give a shitt about.

Sorry but you are ignorant of energy policy. At one point Trump had WTI trading negatively. We had so much oil in the interior of the U.S. producers were PAYING storage and transportation companies to take the oil.



Energy is currency.

Trump understands this. Everything is downstream of energy. You increases the supply of energy, good things happen. Trump understands this.

This economy can be turned abound in 3 months with energy policy that allows for increased supply. The Biden admin loves high energy prices. It's a favor to their green energy freaks. The only way green energy can compete is with high oil prices. This administration loves high oil prices.

He means with a patriot as Speaker of the House, instead of RINO, Paul Ryan.
I think Trump is more aware of the opposition this time around.
He was not a politician and was mired by the "Swamp".
Hopefully he can surround himself with better people and make better choices when selecting a Cabinet.

Biden screwed everything up in Six months. Betcha never believed he could do that either.

Of course not. You're not a pussy or a woman, so you don't get upset by these things or have a life-size Ron DaSantis body pillow.

You're saying the master of persuasion should have made the least persuasive argument possible?

To be fair, there are things that Trump could do that Desantis wouldn’t because Trump doesn’t have to worry about re-election. Trump could go scorched earth on the FBI, CIA, ATF, DoE and IRS without any worry of it effecting his re-election. In the first 6mo, he could go in and begin massive firings at the heads of all those departments, hire new leadership and middle management, and then let them begin culling out the lower levels of those departments.
Now will Trump do that? I don’t know. He ran on locking up Hillary and as soon as he won, he backed off that 1 major promise. The fact that Trump and Desantis can’t work together on defeating the left worries me that 1 or both don’t truly understand the fight we are in. When you’re in the trenches taking fire, you put your petty bullshite aside and focus on winning the fight. When the fight is over and the enemy is soundly defeated, then go back to arguing your petty bullshite.

The Biden administration is proof you can't EO your way to utopia. My biggest criticism of Trump is that he didn't codify any of his EO's into law. He signed a bunch of EO's, then wiped his hands clean of the matter.

It took 1 day of Potato in office to complete do away with Trump's entire presidency. The only lasting legacy we have of Trump's 4 years is more debt, and the courts.

The economy, international trade, and the regulatory environment as a whole were well on the way to being fixed prior to COVID. Without COVID all three very well may have gotten there in Trump's single term. Although without COVID Trump would have had a 2nd term.

If you understood how legislation is passed you would understand that this is a vacuous criticism.

This was a very bad thing since 600 or so energy companies went bankrupt while he was in office. The cheap oil from Saudi was killing the US energy industry.

Oil between $65-$85 a barrel is good for the US energy industry. If we want to be net importers of this stuff the price needs to be kept where it’s profitable to produce. Oil at 2017-2019 prices is bad for the USA. I personally thought Trump would have been better at energy than he was. I feel like the saudis either out smarted him or just bought him. Looks like it was a combination of both.

I do agree that once energy becomes too expensive the alternative energy sources do become more desirable and attractive.

Yes, Trump was too aggressive with cheap energy policy. It did hurt the oil companies. He even said that last night in the townhall with Hannity. However the upside to aggressive cheap energy policy is cheaper energy and goods downstream of energy policy for the consumer.

He negotiated with MbS (Saudis) the month he walked into office (January 2017) for more supply (cheaper oil). In exchange for more supply from the Saudis Trump approved weapon sales to Saudi Arabia.

I'm in the O&G business and I admit TRUCK NUTS are hard to buy when energy policy is aggressive to the cheap side. But we only represent a small fraction of the country. The remaining 95% of the country loves cheap energy.
