I don't think you're ignorant on Trump, I think you're so desperate to see backbone from a leader and have someone who represents people like you (and me) that you'll accept Trump even though you know he's a fake.

No idea what this is about. Tariffs? If so that's not something I weighed in on often/at all.




But you did.

He was/is a fake, but he more or less represented us, and hence I voted for him twice. I do think he's a fairly bad person and I don't think he's admirable. Maintain that stance.



Actions over words.

Probably true. I'll work on it. I don't think Trump is going to work on it.





I don't care if he or you work on it. just don't be a hypocrite.


I say again. Actions over words.

His actions were fake now?

I set the o/u on the times I weighed in on tariffs at...3? And I don't even remember what I would have said. I'm pretty aware of what I don't know about, and that's a subject I don't know about. You're off base here.

How am I a hypocrite?

As for Trump's actions/words, I told you some of my predictions were wrong. But no, I don't think Trump is a Christian, I don't think he's a deeply patriotic person. Allow me this - can you point to any situation in which Trump did something that went against Trump's ego for the betterment of either (the US or Christianity)?

An example where Trump showed humility? Where he said "I got this wrong, here's why I changed course?" I'm not aware of any, but perhaps you are.

How is suggesting it is wrong for Russia to invade Ukraine and kill its people the same as supporting Europe?

Name a couple ways. I'm not confident I'm not, it's a serious question, give me a serious answer and I'll see what I can do about it.

If you dug up my objections about Trump, they center on the idea that he was a fake who would betray us. He was/is a fake


Policy wise Trump had 2 huge flaws, he was too willing to compromise early in his presidency and he was weak on the second amendment. But overall he was a preObama moderate democrat. Obama regime shifted the political spectrum to the point a moderate democrat with moderate democrat policies and stances is now viewed as a right wing fringe extremist.

A lot of folks were rubbed wrong by his personality but it was just a typical New Yorker personality with a better moral compass than most old money New Yorkers. A hostile press/media colors most folks opinion of him instead of judging him by his actions. It’s the 3rd -4th hand trolls that would love is policies and actions under almost any other name that just piss me off. Was he fake? Absolutely nothing we know about him seems fake.

In the same way Patton "praised" Rommel.


Did the USA Military not teach Rommel's tactics?

That's the highest form of "Praise" right.

I suppose it depends on what you mean. A moderate Democrat telling conservatives how nobody cares more about conservative and evangelical causes than he does is fake.

Now, most knew it was so absurd as to not really register are any meaningful dishonesty, but I still call that fake. I also don't think he has much of a moral compass at all, but if he aligns his ego with our cause some will argue it doesn't matter.

I think it does, but I understand the practicality of it.

I don’t know a lot of old-money New Yorkers. But I’m relatively certain Trump is not a paragon of virtue in any demographic.

I don’t praise him. I do acknowledge he’s not a pussy in an era in which the western white male is being sissified.

Where are people getting the notion that Putin played anyone? NATO was effectively sidelining Russia for a long-time, chipping away at Russia's sphere of influence. Russia did very little to stop that march eastward, much of which was driven by the security concerns of those Eastern states, as they themselves would rather be closer aligned with the West than be in Russia's sphere.


Dude if you can’t see how Putin used the whole bullshite “green energy” concerns of weak arse leaders like Obama and Biden then you are beyond simple minded. You realize that today that the Biden Administration said we will continue to buy Russian Oil….oil that is not produced to the environmental standards we would adhere too while still lining the Kremlin’s pocket. That is just a small example of how inept our Dem leaders are. Now RHINO’s like Romney aren’t much better. Thankfully McCain is 6’ under because that POS would be front and center on backing stupidity as long as it lined his pocket!

I think we've all argued with you often enough to know that when you can win an argument, you make arguments. When you can't you do that.
