Yeah, can't say I voted for Trump because he was a smooth orator/bullshitter
but mostly because he wasn't and ... because he wasn't part of the body politic,
nor could he BE bought, unlike every one of his predecessors in current memory

It's dumb because Trump uttered the word "potato"? That's a crazy
position in an of it self.
I think that one of the reasons Trump got elected is that A LOT of citizens were
sick of hearing lofty speeches with perfect syntax, AND THEN NOTHING GETS DONE.
We've heard for 2 presidencies that Clinton's 'great' China deal was actually a
BAD deal, and that we were getting ripped off WITH NOTHING BEING DONE about it.
That's 16+ years if you count the years China ripped us off during the Clinton
presidency! And that means that they are stupid, cowardly, or in on the rip
off.
And do you think that what's going on in Virginia isn't crazy? Oh, they actually
aren't trying to infringe on the 2nd Amendment? ... Because that's the substance
of what Trump said. And then, he tags a little joke on the end, but That's the
real problem?
It's actually pretty simple. When Trump speaks don't listen to the words.
Because he isn't looking for points in English Composition. He is DOING
something. He is placing a stone on a Go board. (by the way, I tried a bit to
find the entire clip for context but was unsuccessful)...
Most of us know that the word potato(es) is often used when referring to
someone's hind quarters, e.g. "sack of potatoes". So if you substitute
in kind you get:
"You'll have nobody guarding your ass."
And I'm sure that you know that that is exactly what the 2nd Amendment is all
about.

But notice Quasi, that you've still said ZERO about the substance about what
Trump said. You simply make a value judgment; call names. And I would anticipate
that you would do the same about anything else Trump has said. If not, then
start here with the statement at hand. Otherwise, if you have nothing of
substance to add why speak?

Q man, because he says things I wanna hear, hardly. His oratory skills are far
from enabling him to do so and honestly I wish he'd talk less and just let his
policies and actions speak for themselves. Those things are why I approve of his
direction.
BTW, I guess I'm missing something. WTF happened in 1910 that you're referencing

Most of Trump's supporters don't like him.
You get that quasi?
I'll type it again more slowly...
Most. Of. Trump's. Supporters. Don't. Like.
Him.
Probably just about everyone wishes he would just shut up and do his job.
But, IF you THINK about it he has done a pretty good job as President so far..he
just says a bunch of crap along the way...
and it has been said already, people voted for him, and Will vote for him Again,
because he is not a career politician. That fact matters more than his speaking
abilities..
Then you have to consider that what Most American people like even less than
Trump, are Liberals.
Anyway..I doubt my comments will have Any effect on your biases so go ahead and
call me a names and tell me to drink my koolaid (smiley that rolled his eyes so
far they made a complete revolution in it's eye sockets)
pulse Report This Comment Date: May 21, 2020 04:38PM
I'm genuinely curious. Why do you think he's done a good job? What are the
measurements of success?
Mrkim Report This Comment Date: May 21, 2020 06:32PM
Fair enough so let me start with these:
1. The day after he was elected the stock market rallied like a motherfucker.
Some would say that's normal and to some degree that's true. After months of
campaigning and uncertainty the election's over and everyone knows who's gonna
be at the helm. However, this time if you talked to any businessperson you'd
have also found there was a huge sigh of relief in knowing there was a light at
the end of the tunnel as another lib waddn gonna continue to heap more and more
business regulations, taxes and fees upon them. This time they knew someone who
was not a politician was heading the charge to get the govt outta the way and
let businesses just WORK for a change.
2. A serious measure of his success is that it's not been business as usual in
the body politic since he took office. No more silver tongued speeches filled
with meaningless platitudes and that's driven the MSM and the rest of the
quagmire known as "the swamp" to absolute distraction. No single
presidential election in my lifetime has stirred TPTB up as has this
administration and that's definitely a good thing!
3. The economy prior to the covid BS charade had been off the rails for months
setting new records time and time again. Of course now all the blow hard libs
will claim that the way the economy is now will all be his fault too, just like
GWB got hit with the fall out from 9-11 after the economy had started an upward
rise prior to that during his term.
4. For the 1st time ever we've had a president whose not been afraid of stepping
on international toes to get shit done. The trade deals between China, Mexico
and Canada had all favored them and not the US because we had non-businessmen
political wimps in place who negotiated those deals as opposed to a serious
business negotiator like we have in President Trump.
5. Though he's had to fight tooth and nail all of congress including his own
party, the MSM and the screaming choir of libs across the country there's
actually been some progress made towards enforcing our own southern border and
limiting the nonsensical BS of claiming political asylum in efforts to simply
bamboozle and circumvent our immigration laws.
I know, I know, so many think it's no big deal that we just let people continue
to break our laws, steal from our economy and I mean WTF, it's only like 30+
million or so ... and climbing, right? Well I'll tellya this, if you fuckers
that see it as no big deal had lived all your life here in Texas you'd damned
well know just how big a problem it is and probably have a much different view
of that issue.
Enough for a start so you libs get busy tellin me how wrong I am about the
above.
Just be sure you make reasonably supportable points and lay off the name callin
and back biting BS ... ain't nobody gots no time for dat

Trump was born in 1946 and went to school & university in the 50's &
60's.
I think a lot of people identify with that golden era of the USA and that alone
gives him credibility when he uses his MAGA slogan.
And let's face it, he's had a pretty amazing privileged life through the 70's
the 80's and the 90's.
People are jealous. In Australia it's called Tall Poppy Syndrome.
His grandfather died in 1918 from the Spanish Flu by the way.

I don't have a measure. Or a vested interest. I'm not American, it really

job. So I wanted to know how that's qualified, that's all.

It takes an overly impressive ego to even want to be president, intelligence is
way down the qualification or requirements list.
I would think by now people would know this and quit trying to substantiate or
deny the validity of anything said by insulting their already lack of
intelligence or plain common sense.

I'm genuinely curious. Why do you think he's done a good job? What are the
measurements of success?
First thing that comes to mind is the cut to the federal income tax rate..
"Americans paid almost $64 billion less in federal income taxes during the
first year under the Republican tax overhaul signed into law in late 2017 by
President Donald Trump, with some of the sharpest drops clustered among
taxpayers earning between $25,000 and $100,000 a year"
source
At the time all the MSM could talk about was how all Trumps millionaire cronies
would benefit and refusing to acknowledge that the cuts helped the little guy
more...and then the following year they reported about how so many people
received smaller refunds or no refund because of Trump but not explaining that
the reason was because they took less money so there was less to give
back...duh.
Next is national security..I strongly believe in strong borders. I can not
understand people that think it's okay to allow just anyone to waltz into our
nation unchallenged...
Consider this...put your politics and feelings aside, and consider this;
You come home from working a long shift..you walk into your house and there is a
family of four in your house..you've never met them before...mom is cooking some
of your food..dad is in your garage looking through your toolbox and putting
wrenches in his pocket..kids are watching teevee and playing vidya games...NOW,
what are you going to do about that? Is it okay because they just wanted a
better life for themselves and because your house is nicer and you have more
food and better entertainment options...you gonna just let them stay? Fuck No
you wouldn't. you would call the police and have those trespassers removed.
Also what Kim said...and to some degree what fossil said..
There is a lot of good that he has done and he has done some bad things too..We
All Have. Everybody makes mistakes, the difference between his and yours is that
there aren't tons of talking heads on the teevvee everyday saying "pulse
bad! pulse bad! pulse bad!!!!" instead it's "Orange man bad! Orange
man bad! Orange man bad! Orange man bad! Orange man bad! Orange man bad! Orange
man bad! Orange man bad! Orange man bad! Orange man bad! Orange man bad!"
rinse and repeat..
And don't try to tell me hiS MiSTakeS coSt PeoPLe TheiR LivEs...utter nonsense.
He has handled this panicdemic crisis as well as anyone could have. He has been
met with resistance, criticism, and ridicule every step of the way by
Democrats.
Example:
Pelosi March 2020: "Trump closed Chinese flights. Racist.!"
Pelosi April 2020: "Trump should have closed ALL Chinese flights.
Incompetent."
The truly sad part is that there are so many people that just believe what they
want to and ignore facts.
Do you hate Trump? Or any other political figure for that matter... Ask yourself
Why.
I remember the first time I saw Trump. He was a guest on the David Letterman
Show..circa 1990 I guess..not sure why he was on, probably to promote his book?
Anyway I thought he was about the most arrogant person I had ever seen and
didn't like him at all. I never watched The Apprentice or anything else he was a
part of...
BUT all that I know about him is what I saw on teevee or the internet. I don't
know him. I have never met him personally. My opinion of him is based on things
that I know he did or said and not in what other people say that he meant by
what he said. I don't need Rachel Madcow, Anderson Cooper, or anyone else to
interpret his words for me.
Also:
The best they have to
offer instead of Trump?
