Popular Post Guy Chamberlin Posted November 2, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2018 I thought Trump was an a$$h@!e for his entire campaign, but I knew it was a schtick. He was playing to crowds for the attention he craves; the job itself he really didn't want. He didn't really have an ideology, other than the enemies of his enemies were his friends. I was pretty chilled when Trump won, but I thought there was a credible scenario where Trump, being both a businessman and protector of his brand, would bring in competent executives to run areas of their expertise, defer to the counsel of the people who gave him his executive summaries, chart a fairly centrist course that included taking on some establishment Republicans, and fulfill his role mostly as a performer and figurehead, which he's pretty good at. When the campaigning was over and the weight of the office settled in, I was pretty sure Trump would tone down the rhetoric and learn on the job. With only modest calculation he could have undermined all his critics by acting Presidential. It could have worked. But from the bizarre choices he made in his first 48 hours on the job, Donald Trump has been worse than I ever imagined. Liberals might seem unhinged at the moment, but in my 59 years on the planet, I have never, ever witnessed the willful dismantling of verifiable facts and basic human dignity going on now. I used to consider the word "fascism" as misused as the term "socialism", and never thought fascism could find an inroad in America, but that's what's going on right now. The GOP can share all the blame with Trump -- maybe more -- but it's inconceivable that history won't question and judge the people who let this happen. 9 1 Link to comment
schriznoeder Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Donnie's on pace for 14,443 false or misleading claims over 4 years. I wonder if he knows there isn't a bigly award for that. The Fact Checker’s ongoing database of the false or misleading claims made by President Trump since assuming office. 1 1 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey Eye-Roller, Seriously, walk me through the first 48 hours of Donald Trump's presidency, and tell me that's not one f#&%ed-up dude. 4 1 Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 If accurate, the 20% number is pretty staggering. And possibly low, considering the people inclined to lie about how horrible they are. Again, never, ever thought America would be at this place. http://time.com/4236640/donald-trump-racist-supporters/?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social-share-article&utm_content=20181031&fbclid=IwAR3Xi3_rdPvHN1Kw4ZWMSD0747L61tV1gI87JYjirdkjA4AiUDc8tWgPI-E 1 1 Link to comment
