I think Trump is thinking about what's good for America.
I don't doubt you honestly believe that but I think you really should reevaluate that position. Your belief in Trump is irrational and unfounded by facts and evidence. Trump has spent 70 years putting himself and his family before everybody else. There is no way he would or could spontaneously grow a conscience and suddenly decide to help others over his own self interest...he simply doesn't know how.
Look at everything that has happened...I know it's a lot to take in and understand. Trump won an election he didn't think he was gong to win. He ran to make money and expand his brand (he even
admited that he could be the first presidential candidate to run and make money on it).
The conflicts of interest are staggering and monumental (and yet the GOP are covering for him). It doesn't stop there...Ivanka's and Jarad's conflicts of interest continue to mount as well as the Kushners. (selling visas to wealthy Chinese for their investments). Heck, Jarad even met with a Russian banker to talk business (according to the Russians, the WH say he didn't). The conflicts of interest filter down to the rest of Trump's WH with 12 ethics waivers last week and upwards of 2 dozen next week. Yeah, Trump wanted to drain the swamp so he could fill it with his people...it's more of the same only far worse than ever before.
You think Trump is for the little guy, the forgotten voters who have been left behind. How could you possibly believe that. Trump is the ultimate
liar-in-chief. Even you have admitted be's full of bullshyte right?
You believed him when he said that Europe had unfair trade practices with the US. We just proved to you it was a lie...
You honestly think he left the Paris agreement because he thought it was best for the US? Lies...
Picking Apart Trump's Climate Lies Is Unsurprisingly Easy. Here Are 9 Examples.Why are so many US business leaders upset? Because pulling out is bad for America. He only pulled out because certain people convinced him while he was a candidate to promise he would pull out (and because Bannon had it on his bucket list on his whiteboard).
Myron Ebell was likely instrumental.Trump lies as a matter of course...he lies so much I honestly think he believes his own lies as truth.
NEIL BUCHANAN: THE THOUSAND AND ONE LIES OF DONALD TRUMP.
Donald Trump lies. He lies all the time.
He lies effortlessly. He lies shamelessly.
He lies garishly and promiscuously.
Before, during, and after the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump has lied repeatedly.
Trump is unfazed that he has no facts to back up his lies, and he seems not to care about the fact-checks that repeatedly expose his statements to be lies..
But even if you ignore all that, wake up and look around...America is even more divided than ever before. But Trump does zero to try to bring people together, he constantly drives wedges between groups and foster distrust and even hatred. Has Trump don'e ANYTHING to actually help bring people together?
Then look at what will happen to people if Trump and the GOP get what they want for healthcare and taxes and spending. Unless you are white and wealthy you're gonna be screwed. Tax cuts for the 1%? Ask Warren Buffett, Bill Gates, Michael Bloomberg, Jeff Bezos, Mark Cuban, Mark Zuckerberg among others what they think of Trump and the GOP? You know what they think right? Thanks Trump and the GOP are not acting in the best interest of America on healthcare, taxes and the environment.
Now, you can pooh pooh the mainstream media for being biased and negative, but all you need to do is look at the facts...
Trump is not really acting rationally. He's mean and small minded, obsessed by meaningless things and I think seriously compromised by scandals, ethics and even his own mental health. Consider this...Trump used to be a witty and entertaining speaker but now talks like a 3 yr old. It's easy to see this for yourself...look back (lot on YouTube) if interviews of Trump over the years...he could hold an intelligent and coherent conversation...listen to him speak now and it's incomprehensible. It's been noticed by many even some of his friends.
Trump wasn’t always so linguistically challenged. What could explain the change?It was the kind of utterance that makes professional transcribers question their career choice:
“ … there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign, but I can always speak for myself — and the Russians, zero.”
When President Trump offered that response to a question at a press conference last week, it was the latest example of his tortured syntax, mid-thought changes of subject, and apparent trouble formulating complete sentences, let alone a coherent paragraph, in unscripted speech.
He was not always so linguistically challenged.
STAT reviewed decades of Trump’s on-air interviews and compared them to Q&A sessions since his inauguration. The differences are striking and unmistakable.
Research has shown that changes in speaking style can result from cognitive decline. STAT therefore asked experts in neurolinguistics and cognitive assessment, as well as psychologists and psychiatrists, to compare Trump’s speech from decades ago to that in 2017; they all agreed there had been a deterioration, and some said it could reflect changes in the health of Trump’s brain.
So many of his supporters think Trump is really smart...even Trump will tell you he's smart, right?
Trump to CIA: ‘Trust me, I'm like a smart person’ But I for one don't think he's very smart now (if he ever was). I think he's sneaky, I think he will say or do anything to get what he wants, I think he will blame all others for his own failures and I honestly think he's rather uneducated and unsophisticated. I actually think he's a bit dim and so does Jennifer Rubin from WaPo:
Trump might be the dimmest president ever. Ok it's only one person's opinion from a conservative perspective but she does make a good case...
President Trump does not read — except in small doses and when his own name appears prominently. Prior to the presidency, his only activities were work and golf. He does not mingle with intellectuals, cultural trend-setters or artists. It should come as no surprise — and it has not — that he is sorely lacking in sophistication, knowledge of the world, understanding of government and a rudimentary grasp of economics. Sitting atop arguably the great resource on the planet — the body of knowledge retained by American government experts on everything from economics to medicine to military history — he remains blissfully ignorant on a range of subjects. He surrounds himself with dim yes men who know little more than he and, in any event, tremble at the prospect of correcting their “Dear Leader.” But sometimes you wonder whether Trump is just, well, dumb.
Trump asked when the world will start laughing at the US. It already is“At what point does America get demeaned?” he asked his rapt audience in the Rose Garden on Thursday, as his unusually golden comb-over glinted in the afternoon sun. “At what point do they start laughing at us as a country? … We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us any more. And they won’t be. They won’t be.”
No they won’t. They won’t dare to laugh at an American president who takes a motorized golf cart through the streets of Sicily while his fellow leaders walk like pedestrians. They won’t laugh at a president whose handshake is a form of mortal combat where only one hand survives with its dignity intact. They won’t laugh at a president who thinks that saving the world is just another way to destroy the US.
The whole world would be laughing if it wasn't such a terrible period of time for America and the rest of the world.
It's time for Trump supporters to wake up and honestly evaluate what is happening and quit rooting for this disaster.
