    I think that if most GOP voters were to look at Don and his efforts in terms of legislation and other presidents successes, they'd find he's put most of his presidential efforts into overturning, rescinding, annulling and destroying their records [poor deal, bad deal, I can do better] rather than creating something worthwhile which would stand both to his good and that of his fellow citizens. That cant be down to egotism alone so it begs the question: is he a wrecking ball?

    His presidency exists for two reasons.
    First is trying to demolish every single thing Obama has ever done and second is to pass tax laws that profit him personally. And possibly not in that particular order.
    It's basically spite and abuse of power for his own personal gain. It's not even about Rs vs Ds, he doesn't care about either side, they're just vehicles for his agenda to him.
    No one who looks even superficially at how he profited from the bust of 3 casinos to enrich himself, burn everyone in the process and boast about how much money he made, can possibly come to any other conclusion.

    What he's giving them is control over the judiciary for a generation.. They really couldn't care less about anything else..

    He has appointed an enormous amount of lifetime appointment judges that hold very solid right wing (or indeed extreme right wing) viewpoints , so for the evangelicals and the true "conservatives" they are happy to live with the short term pain/embarrassment/ridicule that comes from having an utter imbecile as President as they are playing the long game and see the next 30 years of laws being shaped in their image..

    Mod note:

    Folks, I've moved some of the posts on the Khashoggi to this thread:

    https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057918789

    It seems like a sufficiently important and discrete issue that discussion of it should take place there. Other Trump topics can remain here!

    Well, just off the top of my head - Trump broke the Iran deal, distanced himself with Nato, fell out with long established allies of the US including Canada, UK, France, Mexico etc, all while he aligned himself with Kim Jong Un (despite their increasing of nuclear activity) Putin (despite his interference in the US elections) and MBS (who murdered a US resident journalist).

    But tell me more how Obama and Clinton were trouble makers....

    It's seems that way doesn't it but shouldn't he be standing up for all Americans whatever their race??

    And he's also bending the knee to non whites, as long as they have some cash lying around

    Off topic I know but honestly I'm fascinated by individuals such as yourself who troll. I wonder what happened to you to make you this way.

    Apologies if you actually believe whatever it is you are posting.


    It's a strategy to try and get someone to say something, either off the cuff or out of frustration, that can be taken out of context for future arguments. It's the play they use when their primary approach has failed.

    Apart from 2 Scoops, there aren't any pro-Trump posters of substance who visit the thread regularly. Which is a shame really.

    His core base isn't actually that big and his actions are quite often indefensible. Logical pro Trump arguments don't really exist.

    No. Once you get past the superficial there's nothing. A bit of Obama this and libtard that and then nothing at all.

    True. Not sure he's a bona fide Trump supporter though.

    People in the military have a loyalty that isn't easy to discard. Trump is the Commander in Chief and he has thrown money at the military and got rid of those silly burdensome requirements that were in place to protect individual soldiers. I remember it being brought up before. Delight over being able to do actual training rather than a sensitivity course. They got immediate reward from Trump. Many are now starting to move away though. He's assaulting the military on all fronts. Politicising it to the extreme. He spent Thanksgiving calling deployed troops to rant about judges and say how great he was. He has zero respect for the military.

    David Stockman trashes Trump, and dissects Fox's pathetic 'finance guy' Charles Payne. https://www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-business-charles-payne-goes-off-after-reagan-budget-director-calls-trump-a-madman/

    Quote: “We’ve got a perfect storm of a madman in the White House, who’s pursuing trade wars, border wars, a fiscal policy that is totally out to lunch, and attacking the fed,” Stockman said.

    Payne interjected: “It’s kind of harsh to call President Trump a madman.”

    “Oh absolutely he is,” Stockman said.
