Donald Trump
Former president Trump, you had four years to lead the United States and failed us by your own choosing. Whether it be in foreign policy or domestic policy, you did not protect the nation as commander in chief.
We the American people have finally borne witness to what happens when they place an incompetent business man into the Oval Office. Especially one who had everything handed to him.
Quality of life is not a business decision, sir. But rather, it is a humane choice to be empathetic to those who cannot help themselves. This is why government exists.
Now comes the jury’s decision making you a convicted felon. Have you no shame and decency sir? As was said about former president Richard Nixon, jail to the chief.
All you do is complain and moan about what others have done to you. However by all accounts you put yourself in precarious situations and are now facing the consequences.
MAGA has become a dog whistle for NAZI. Your followers would have made great “Brown Shirts” in Hitler’s Germany. They demonstrated their loyalty to you on January 6, 2021. An event you instigated.
As for inflation somebody encouraged Corporate America to gouge us at the grocery stores, gas stations and pretty much everywhere at the point of purchase.
Who is too old to run now?Geez, where have you been hiding? For me, you are music to my ears.
Donald Trump is amazing in Social Media but terrible in governing a country.
How many of his official team did he fire again? 45%, I just googled...
It shows that he was a terrible president and unfit for such a job.
To lead and govern you need to delegate and to choose a team. Trump is a one man show not a team.Would you prefer a person that fires employees that don't work out but does the job, or one that looks pretty, sounds pretty and doesn't do the job?
It shows that Trump is incredibly bad in judging people. If you choose people and than later on you fire 45% of the people you choose. That shows that you don't know what you are doing. In other words, you are not fit for the job of the presidency.
I can only repeat: would you rather have someone that produces good results, but you think is not fit, or someone that you find a good fit but cannot produce good results?
I know what I would choose - what about you? Is appearance more important than results?You're mixing fact with opinion.
Fact is that Trump fired 45% of his original staff. Which shows incompetence to govern..
Opinion is that Biden did not produce good results.I guess...if you consider near historic lows in unemployment, rising wages for the first time in a decade, a slowing of illegal border crossings, or energy independence as "bad" then he did not produce good results.
If you do not, the it isn't much of an "opinion" that he did well in many areas.These are far more complex things compared with a simple 45% firing rate showing a lack of team building.
They certainly are! At the same time, however, they carry a lot more importance to my life and my pocketbook than firing people he can't get along with.
But Peter, you have failed to address the primary question several times now - which is more important to the country and people - results or appearance?. Why is that?Appearance is Policy with Trump.
With Trump you get exactly what you see. A sexist racist rich self centered spoiled white brat.
Do you trust such a person?
I don't.Well, I trust him more than a trust Harris, making promises she knows she cannot fulfill.
Which isn't saying much, but then I expect politicians to lie every time they open their mouth, and I'm very seldom disappointed.
I will grant you that I see Trump as rich, self centered, spoiled, Caucasian and I suppose a brat as well. Is it now considered a "bad" thing, and not allowed, to have white skin? I would have to say that your comment has more overt racism in it than I've heard from Trump these 8 years. "Spoiled white brat" leaves a pretty sour taste for me.But is he going to do what is best for America?
Is he going to put America's interests first?
That is what this election is about.
Escalating wars... or ending them.
Open Borders... or legalized and limited immigration only.
Feelings... or Facts.
I could go on... the positions the two take... the direction the country will move in, is all that matters to me.
I feel that both Harris & Walz and Trump & Vance are very sound representatives, they give Americans very different choices, they will take the country in different directions.
I could care less how rich or white or non-white they are... its the direction the country will move in that matters.But if he is a racist, xenophobic, selfish oligarch, why would I believe that he is putting America First? That is not my concept of America. You are right, the direction that this country moves in is what matters all the more reason to keep Trump and his Project 2025 as far away as possible.
The choice is quite obvious for me, and I suppose that is true for you as well.It seems character assassination is the way that the media and Democratic Party HAS to go.
If they spoke plainly and clearly about their goals and the direction they are moving the country, not enough Americans would support it.
But I also don't care... I think the people deserve what they vote for, I really do. And if America's fate is to suffer as a nation, its people to suffer and struggle like they haven't in almost 100 years... so be it.
Whether it is a person, a business, or a nation... when you live beyond your means, do what is obviously wrong, and extend yourself beyond your abilities... you eventually pay the price.
Our bill is coming due soon.
There are people planning on it, doing everything they can to ensure it.
He is going to do what's in Trumps interest first.
The country America is not on the top of his list.If Trump was doing what was best for Trump, he would not have run for re-election. He would have caved to the enormous pressure being put on him and sailed off into the sunset living on a very expensive yacht... like Jeff Bezos does.
Trump would not be out there dodging bullets, having his assets seized by an out-of-control NY State government, or risk spending the remaining years of his life in jail over politics.
Someone who has access to the wealth and power Trump has, either is completely insane to do what he is doing, or is patriotic enough to attempt it.
I think it is the latter, though clearly having an ego the size of an elephant helps goad him there.
Lets look at his efforts last time he was President:

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/poli … ce-SignalsTrump is a dictator. He wants power. He does not care about a country. He does not work well with people, he can't make a team. As I pointed out to Wilderness. 46% of the original team was fired. That's having an incredibly bad judgment on people.
Even his own campaign team is complaining at the moment that he's not listening and just rampaging without direction.
If you want to govern you have to govern with a whole team of people. Trump is not able to do so. He is simply not fit for the job. (and that besides that he's a racist and a sexist.)
He was saying to the crowd.. "get out and vote, just this time, you won’t have to do it any more."
That's basically saying that when he wins, he want to rule as a dictator without elections ever again.
A normal president candidate would never say such a thing.
Again in other words. Trump cares about Trump, not about you, or America as a whole. The elections and the presidency is a vehicle to enrich himself. in power and money. Nothing more.That's your opinion and in America you are allowed to have them still.
I believe you to be completely wrong, but that is my opinion, one backed by his 1st term... if he had been a dictator he would have used his 4 year 1st term to make sure there was never another election, or that the election was fixed.
But Trump never tried to use the DOJ or FBI or NSA to sabotage his political rivals or round them up and jail them... that is what the Democrats have done and are still doing.
The good guy is labeled the villain by the villains it is a common enough theme seen in politics throughout history.
Whether Robin Hood or Han Solo... the good guy is always considered the bad guy by the Evil Empire... our Evil Empire in America is the Democratic Party and the Establishment that funds and controls them.With saying Trump is a dictator. I meant he is a dictator type. He is not a team player but wants to rule alone whatever he does.
That's why he is unfit to lead a democracy. His type of leadership does not fit with the democratic rules and regulations of a land like the US.
Off course this, and the above is only my opinion.
As we all share our opinions here. Sometimes it's a discussion, sometimes it's a collision. That's okay.I don't think he can fit the dictator role... he is too accomplished in business, in media and now politics.
I agree he can be other things, egotistical and not always a team player are two such things people don't like, but it doesn't stretch to historical dictators he is often compared to... not even close.
I don't want a 'common everyday Joe' or a mild, get along with others, leader. We have seen what that has gotten us, Xi, Putin and others took advantage big time. You need someone with confidence, arrogance even, and a toughness that you don't get from kissing rings all day for 50 years like Biden did.
Unfortunately too many people fail to realize, when you put someone weak and incompetent in charge... like we have done making Biden the President... the world will walk all over you and take advantage.
That doesn't work too good for the Nation that has such incompetence running the show for them. And that is why we have gone from good times in 2019 to dire straights in 2024... weak leadership, arrogance and incompetence run throughout the Biden Administration.
I have said before and say it again... there has never been a worse Administration for America or for the world (unless you are rooting for Iran, China and Russia to dominate events in the world) in our lifetimes.
And its not close... the EU has paid a price for this as well... and the worst part of the bill is yet to come due for the EU.
If Trump wanted all of this power you speak of... at the expense of Americans and of this Country, he would have gone for it long before his 70's!
All of the kool-aid which has been dispensed, hasn’t killed off the Lefties yet. But it has definitely clouded judgment and impaired common sense!
Have a Modelo instead or my personal fav, a Margarita, and chillWe have all different opinions. And I think that's a great good.
Sometimes things are said in a more nuanced way, other times in a more blunt way.
I'm pretty relaxed ab. No prob. Enjoying the summer night with a cool beer.
Cheers!
"Trump is a dictator."
I have never seen a dictator that was elected and then, when his term was up, moved out of the seat of power and gave it up to the newly elected "leader". I doubt that you have, either.
Methinks you have contracted that dreaded disease, TDS. You might consider trying to distance yourself from bias when investigating the man's many faults - while you are unlikely to ever approve of the man, the foaming vitriol on the chin might lessen or even cease, and your comments become something to think about and consider rather than simply shunt aside as gross exaggeration and outright lie.You asked my opinion.
With saying Trump is a dictator. I meant he is a dictator type. He is not a team player but wants to rule alone whatever he does. That's why he is unfit to lead a democracy. His type of leadership does not fit with the democratic rules and regulations of a land like the US.
"Is appearance more important than results?"
This is a very important and relevant question.
If so, why?
"We the American people have finally borne witness to what happens when they place an incompetent business man into the Oval Office."
We certainly did! Taxes fell for everyone, incomes rose, our standard of living rose, we produced our own energy and began the process of bringing back our manufacturing instead of being dependent on China for everything.
We bore witness...and denied it all, instead choosing a man that brought us inflation, increased taxes, increased welfare, more crime and millions upon millions of illegal entries into our country...whereupon he bused them all over the country under cover of darkness, to be supported by our taxes.
Yes, we witnessed both sides of that equation, didn't we?Donald Trump is not the President. You may be under the impression he is, since all has turned to crap in your eyes! But, no, he has been gone for nearly 4 years.
Democrats are actually in charge and responsible! Who in particular, can't say, no one knows, the Dem Party is in total disarray.
But, I get why you've chosen this moment in time to attack Donald Trump. It goes along with the MSM/Progressive/Leftist narrative and mantra, which is.....
Somebody blame Trump quickly!!Somebody blame him, quickly...and then do something to get him out of the race.
I'm rather surprised that he hasn't been indicted for another dozen or so "crimes", likely including mass murder or other heinous crime that could put him in the slammer without bail.Don't be too surprised, there's still time for that!
Doesn't this Trump fellow ever know when to turn off the lies and spin?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-spread … 54714.htmlWorth repeating.
"... Trump never tried to use the DOJ or FBI or NSA to sabotage his political rivals or round them up and jail them... that is what the Democrats have done and are still doing."
KenIt is something to see the level of TDS in some posts.
It is quite dangerous and shows a complete and total ignorance of facts and reality.
"Democrats and the media brought Trump Derangement Syndrome to a fever pitch. Now it's drawn blood
After 2016, Democrats invested their money, time, energy, and media ties into an effort to trash Trump’s presidency and thwart his bid for a second term
Editor’s note: The following column was first published in Restoration on Substack.
At Restoration, we wholeheartedly and without reservation condemn the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Unfortunately, one audience member was reported dead on Saturday night and two others were critically injured. We pray for them and their loved ones.
As I write, the information in the public domain regarding the perpetrator is still sparse. The shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed shortly after firing his lethal shots. The public is therefore left to speculate about his motives.
However, what we do not need to speculate about is the climate created and cultivated by Donald Trump’s political enemies. America is polarized, toxic, and politically close to a breaking point in part because the country’s liberal political, cultural, and media elite never accepted Trump’s legitimacy as the country’s president.
The Biden administration and other political leaders have conveyed their condemnation of the shooting and issued statements of well wishes to Trump and his family. That may be a first sign of self-awareness and a step in the right direction, but it sounds hollow and disingenuous.
The very same leaders of the Democratic Party, along with a cohort of the Republican Party who labeled themselves Never Trumpers, and a swathe of what was once the mainstream media, crossed the line of political and public decency by framing Donald Trump as a monster and his supporters (roughly half the nation) as monster-worshipping deplorables ready to hand our democratic republic to a dictator.
For years, they have proclaimed Trump to be a danger to democracy and demonized his voters as witting or unwitting fascists. The May 16 edition of the once-revered New Republic depicted Trump as Hitler on its front cover.
The argument that Trump posed a Hitler-level threat to American democracy can be traced back to the first outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome among left-leaning journalists in 2016. What made the argument so malignant was that it justified using all means possible to disrupt Trump’s presidency and to prevent his re-election.
Millions of ordinary Americans who had voted for Trump in the past and might vote for him in the future were told that they "threatened the very foundations of the nation."
The two years since that speech were spent on insisting that under no circumstances would a Trump election victory be acceptable. The lawfare and media campaign against him intensified. The calculation became that if Trump could be convicted of a crime (any crime) and labeled a felon, the Democratic incumbent would win the election.
Sure enough, a court in New York found Trump guilty of all 34 crimes he was charged with in a case that legal experts admitted would never have been brought against anyone who was not Donald Trump. In other words, 34 strands of spaghetti were thrown at him and all 34 stuck.
All the while, the Democrats and their media surrogates overlooked the reality that their incumbent and intended nominee was too old and cognitively impaired to win the general election, while his Vice President, the most prominent DEI hire in the country, was too talentless to do any better.
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/democra … rawn-bloodThe decision who becomes the President of the USA is in the hands of the citizens carrying a voters card, and voting for the candidates of their choice. It's not in the hands of members of a political party. And whether their give Trump, a breath or not, a 'convict felony', Trump, is already in the presidential race. The American Constitution did not bar such fellows, even if they're in prison.
Miebakagh:
"The decision who becomes the President of the USA is in the hands of the citizens carrying a voters card, and voting for the candidates of their choice. It's not in the hands of members of a political party," (or Elites/Aliens for World Takeover.)
It is, if the vote is stolen through deceptive computer voting machines and mail-in ballots, (and NO voters' cards.)
The answer is, "Too big to Rig," as Trump advocates.
Everyone (ALL of us) needs to get over our dislike of Trump's personality and the way he talks, walks, the color/style of his hair, etc.
His policies are sound because he knows what makes citizens happy: A percolating economy, low taxes and less government intervention into their lives.
Its not bad, what we humans want: The joy of living in freedom and peace. Surely, the few weird aliens who are trying to control the world will cut humans, across the globe, some slack!
Stop trying to control the world and leave us humans alone!Okay, if what you say is what Trump, wants to do, and how nice of him with his 20 points! You're good to go.
I do wonder if joebialek is a plant for the democrats.
He has no articles, joined 3 days ago.
Is this a real person?While, he sings sweet music to MyEso's ears, your fellow Dem. Don't you agree? As for his reality, I was curious likewise.
