Make a Cogent Case for Trump

Electoral norms don’t matter! Democracies are always stable and long-lived! Who cares about enforcing process around transfer of power - the cornerstone of a functioning democracy.

LOL

He was POTUS in 2020 too, and made it very clear he was not capable of, or not interested in, leading the country through the several crises that arose that year. He was completely ineffective re: the pandemic and actually seemed actively and purposely unwilling to do anything about the riots, just because he had the talking point that they were “Democrat-run cities,” and he has repeatedly made it clear he doesn’t consider you his constituents he thinks you didn’t vote for him. If you want to be the leader of anything, “that’s not my problem” isn’t a statement you are allowed to make, even if it’s actually true in some cases. We even had his surrogates posting pics of the riot damage and saying “this is what Biden’s America will be like,” when it was still Trump’s America! Your man’s a joke and asking “was your life better in ‘19” is asking the wrong question.

Trump ceded power on January 20 and sleepy Joe became president.

I don't see how Democrat lockdowns and riots in blue cities were his fault.

You'd have whined much more if Trump sent the national guard or the military in to crush riots.

We have one and only one official Trump thread. These remarks should have been posted there.

This thread reported.

The United States was a hellhole pre-2017, then instantly became a glorious heaven on Earth from 2017 to 2021, then made a precipitous drop back to hellhole at the end of January 2021. It was like a light switch going on and off. There's only one stable super genius who is capable of flipping the switch! Vote accordingly.

Yes.

Have you looked at how the US is doing comped to other G7 nations?

yes my city is safe in 2019 and is safe now.

trump talked to Republicans to torpedo bipartisan border bill that Republicans thought while not perfect would have been effective.

we have historically abnormally low j employment and the inflation rate has dropped to 2.4 percent in September

what Trump policies do you think will lower inflation?

If Trump was president he would be talking up that the stock market is at record highs.

We don't have any good candidates for president in the USA.

Should have said

we have historically abnormally low unemployment and the inflation rate has dropped to 2.4 percent in September

Trump is not a pannaseea. But he is far better than Kamala. What I do no is that he will make a lot of people I do not like very uncomfortable. He will spite those who "fly over" my state and look down their noses at me. He may not help me personally, but he will harm many snooty, stuck up, arrogant, proud, haughty, conceited, self-important, supercilious and patronizing liberals who are riding high on million dollar houses and bloated 401Ks. Here is to Schadenfreude in 2025.

You think "no" equals "know," yet you know/no "supercilious" and "schadenfreude," which you capitalized for some strange reason? And don't even get me started on "pannaseea." Also, why is "fly over" in quotes? What kind of troll are you?

Also, what you're saying, is that Trump is going to crash the housing and stocks. Good thing that Republicans also don't rely on those assets.

Are you new/knew to trolling, because you're doing an incompetent job?

You’re missing the point, probably intentionally. Read what I said: if you want to be the leader, you don’t get to whine that something is your fault, isn’t your problem, etc. You swallow any whining and you go help fix the problem. He doesn’t do that, whenever difficulty appears he whines and blames others. He is not a leader, was a terrible leader when he was in power and should not be given that power again.

The border, inflation, and the fact harris is a terrible candidate.

Other G7 nations locked down harder than we did, and are paying for it now. You can thank the Rs for fighting back against lockdown and giving us an edge over the rest of the "civilized world". You can also thank TRUMP for being the first to bring a safe, effective vaccine to bear with Operation Warp Speed.

The "bipartisan border bill" meant to save face for the current election cycle was too little, too late. Clearly, Trump's stay-in-place policies were working until Biden reversed them when he took office, sending a clear signal for the floodgates to open. Ds are weak as all gitout on the border, and everyone (and their brother) knows it.

Inflation rate dropping is of little consolation when the prices of everything have gone up 20% over the last few years. My household makes double the average household income and we're feeling it. If we are feeling it, then I can't imagine what it's doing to households that make significantly less than ours. Although we are not hurting, we are much more careful about how and where we spend our money.

Low unemployment is good, I'll hand you that -- people are finally getting off their rumps after a prolonged "covid break", probably because they can't afford to sit around any more. That's one positive aspect of the desperation so many must be feeling in this economy.

Encouraging domestic oil and natural gas production will go a long way toward lowering inflation. Energy is the base cost of everything we consume. We're not doing the environment any favors by buying oil from our enemies, we're simply having someone else do our dirty work so that we can pretend we're "environmentally enlightened". Produce the energy here, save ourselves some money, and don't put money in the pockets of our enemies.

Stock market is at (or near) record highs, but much of that is due to inflation. We're paying more for things than we ever have, which makes companies' assets more valuable and their stock price higher. Apparently it has outperformed inflation, which is better than not, but I would have preferred lower inflation and more modest gains in the stock market because that stock market money is not in my pocket at the moment, but I'm paying the high cost of inflation right now.

Coincidentally, I'm paying significantly more in property taxes than I ever have, as my home value has risen overnight. It may be "great" for me, but it's not great for anyone buying a house, and I'd prefer that if we're going to have a party, that I not be the only one dancing.

One of the reasons I am voting for Trump is because I will not reward the Democratic Party that has sidestepped all norms to literally foist one of their weakest leaders, Kamala Harris, upon our nation. They must think that we don't want Trump to be in office so badly that we'll vote anyone they choose into office. No, forget that. They deserve the L for their brazen attempt to subvert democratic norms in plain side, aided and abetted directly by the mainstream media. You know, the same folks who protected us from knowing that Biden was not cogent.

Also, Trump strengthened NATO by embarrassing other nations to pay their fair share. He was given full credit for this by the sitting president of NATO, despite our "journalists" claiming that Trump somehow undermined NATO.

There was not a peep out of the Middle East when Trump was in office. In fact, Trump played a big role in orchestrating the Abraham Accords between Israel and arab nations.

Iran hates Trump for good reason. Unlike Biden, who early on tried to send them more pallets of cash and then embarrassingly had to withdraw the funds almost immediately, Trump killed Soleimani. That sent a clear message to Tehran.

The embarrassing withdrawal from Afghanistan would have never happened. If Trump would have been in charge, and if things were going as poorly as they did under Biden's direction, he would have went back in and smoked the Taliban. He would not tolerate the United States being disgraced in that way.

Russia amassing its war machine on Ukraine's borders with Trump at the helm? Not a chance. That was like a slow moving train wreck with Biden pussyfooting around and doing nothing. He finally grew some balls after it was too late, but then it was too late.

No, we need a strong leader who is not in cahoots with the media and whoever is running the country right now. Make no mistake, if Kamala is elected, it will not be she who is running the country. It will be whomever has been pulling Biden's strings.

Reagan asked that same question over 40 years ago. So if his 2 terms lead us to the exact same position we were almost half a century ago then what does that question mean or matter?

Ha ha ha, silly sheeples. My life’s goodness doesn’t at all depend on who is the president. Politics is all just theater.

I don’t like Trump but he may be the only thing between freedom and Marxism destroying the country. The political philosophies of the unelected Harris and the communist Walz are responsible for the worst human atrocities in history… Trump’s dictatorial ambitions the same but much easier to control and resist

It’s a terrible choice. Either way, it’s going to be up to the people to prevent or blunt the effects of political excess.
