Apparently you just cannot comprehend my point. For all you guys on here who continually sing Trump's praises to the point where you ignore facts, my point has been this: Trump is not one iota better than any Democrat, and that's a fucking low bar. He's made you think that he is this economic savior by coming out and spouting nonsense (just like a Dem would) like say, let's take a recent one for instance... the price of eggs is down 94%. Or that gasoline is down to $1.98. The Chinese have been talking to him for weeks... I could go on. Do you believe that? What idiot would? His own cabinet members deny that the Chinese haven't even talked about opening any discussions until the past few days. Fact is, he thinks the voting public are idiots, when the fact is that he knows that all he has to tell some people is what they want to hear. Sorry, but that's what's going on.
And that is why I could not bring myself to vote for either candidate since 2016. Nothing noble about it. I just choose not to have to decide which shit sandwich to take a bite out of.
I would respect your position a hell of a lot more if you said "I can't stomach voting for him," and left it at that.
I didn't vote for him in 2016, so I'd get it.
But he absolutely is many iotas better than the left, he lies far less than those on the left, his lies are far less harmful than those on the left, and he's actually done some pretty good stuff, though that certainly comes part and parcel with all the shitty stuff he's done.
But that's better than Biden or Obama who have done NO good stuff, basically.
And he didn't start any wars or greatly expand federal programs like Bush II did.
When Ronald Reagan comes back through the door, call me.
Otherwise, sad as it is, Trump is probably the best President we've had since then (I would give the mildest consideration to late first term Bill Clinton once he was neutered into behaving after 1994 since he actually showed the humility to work with Congress, but he also had a far left agenda before that; still, not being a COMPLETE obstructionist counts for something).
Maybe it's a low bar but you are fixated on nonsense and untruths. Your criticisms ring hollow because it makes it sound as if this President is unique in his incompetence or untruthfulness but neither of those things are true. Biden was worse, Obama was worse, Bush was worse. Hillary would have been the fucking anti-Christ of corruption compared to this.
Trump's optics are clownish. His actual performance is in no worse and in many ways better.
And I'll
even give you that his performance being "in many ways better," is probably not very attributable to any characteristics of competence that he possesses himself other than, in seeking his own self-glorification, he managed to latch onto some solid conservative advisors who have shaped his policies, which he allowed because he was seeking votes.
... and that's STILL a better outcome than Biden or Obama, who were massive, rule of law hating pieces of shit far worse than Trump is.
(I do think his bravado and manner of conducting himself is a bit of a shake up to the system and that has achieved some results in unexpected ways; that certainly is attributable to one of his own personal characteristics, though).
