Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

I'm interested to see how republican support for Trump is starting to crumble on the edges.

The big polls show some sliding...was 90%, now is c80%.

So it's begun, but not huge. Independents are now widely opposed to the president, but repubs are only stepping off the trump train on the margins.

This sort of thing is interesting to me - talking just about the reluctant trump voters - the ones who really don't like him but probably were in the 'anyone but hillary' camp. Of that group, only 26% would still vote for Trump.

If that sort of thing starts to snowball, trump's approval would get toward 30 and impeachmetn would be possible.

You never cease to amaze, Agip. You've now FLAGPOLED twice, and you continue to cite these stupid theories and assume things are happening that aren't.

You seriously don't realize you're living a delusional alternative life in your head? Really? How many times do you have to Flagpole before you realize how much of a Flagpole you're being?

You need a new hobby that doesn't involve politics, analytical thinking, or predicting things.

Mikhail Fishman is the editor-in-chief of the Moscow Times, an English-language weekly newspaper published in Moscow.

Fishman:

"In their (Trump's & Putin's) habits, they're radically different. Trump is a posturing performer, full of idiotic narcissism. He appears to be a disorganized fool, to be honest. Putin, on the other hand, is calculating, organized, and he plans everything."

"Trump is a total neophyte. He has no experience and doesn't understand how global politics operates. He displays his ignorance every single day."

"Why does he (Trump) like Putin so much? I think Trump sees Putin as a kind of soulmate. Let's be honest: Trump is not a reflective person. He's quite simple in his thinking, and he's sort of attracted to Putin's brutal forcefulness."

"Of course (Putin has made Trump his puppet). This is certainly what the Kremlin believes, and they’re acting accordingly. They're quite obviously playing Trump. They consider him a stupid, unstrategic politician. Putin is confident that he can manipulate Trump to his advantage, and he should be. "

"They're (Trump and Putin) both male chauvinists. Trump probably admires the fact that Putin is the kind of guy who feels the need to ride horses shirtless; it appeals to his authoritarian instincts. But this is about much more than imagery.

They are both illiterate people in a way. They're not widely educated. They do not believe in institutions. They see democratic institutions as burdens, impediments to their will. They don't believe that social and political life should be sophisticated; they think it should be simple.

And this sort of thinking naturally concludes in one-man rule. I think Trump will fail, but there’s no doubt that he shares these authoritarian impulses with Putin."

Another twist and turn here. The Trumpers are not gonna know what hit them: http://www.nationallawjournal.com/id=1202789177543/Mueller-Enlists-Top-Criminal-Law-Expert-for-Russia-Probe?slreturn=20170510012021

Seriously, you guys are still pushing the Russia thing? Really?

Did I tell you or did I not tell you that nothing would come of this??

How about you wake up and see the truth.

This isn't some petty battle between just liberals and conservatives, or republicans and democrats. This is a war between globalists and nationalists. Yall are slurping straight from the globalist trough like mindless sheep... We can easily find just as many connections between previous administrations and Russia as we can between the current administration and Russia. Need I rehash all the connections between Obama, the Clintons, Schumer, Pelosi, etc. and Russia/Kremlin/Putin?? This is a stupid game. WAKE UP. Stop being stupid.

I honestly believe some of you don't even really believe it at this point, you're just in too deep - no way to save face. You're partisan hacks. Stop being partisan hacks, you have no idea how much good stuff Trump has done. You'll never believe it too because you STILL trust the media like a holy gospel. WHY??? Because it aligns with your party beliefs? lol is that what you honestly think? You're literally the mindless sheep of a globalist propaganda machine. I'm honestly sad for you. You think you're just toeing the party line, sure, but it's so much more than that - and you don't even know it!

You really think all these establishment hacks are against Trump because Trump is 'bad for the country' ?? Do you have any idea how things work in Washington??? Look at the globalist power structure in Europe. Do you see how many of these EU leaders are childless?? You think that's coincidental? And whose future do you think they're looking out for, exactly?

WAKE THE F*CK UP

Independent, that was the biggest load ever on this site.

He's unhinged.

All this desperate ranting about "globalism" yet you support a billionaire who has spent his life rubbing elbows with world oligarchs as owner of a multinational corporation that has employed undocumented workers, pushed for crony capitalism, and more than taken advantage of our free trade laws. He has a foreign wife and has stuffed his administration to the brim with international investment bankers, global hedgefund managers, other multinational corporation affiliates and foreign lobbyists. He is closely tied to Rupert Murdoch (an AUSTRALIAN global media magnate), Steve Bannon, and Alex Jones/Roger Stone, which means that he holds significant sway over the vast majority of media sources people like YOU consume. His (your) Republican party has supported and facilitated the ability of foreign entities to funnel huge amounts of money into our political process with ZERO transparency, they are encouraging foreign oil companies to build leaky pipelines through our heartland and unwilling citizens' property without providing any regulatory oversight, they have allowed global firms to put our private internet browsing data up for sale, and they have a far more prolific history of advocating for war overseas. It doesn't matter how much you hate Muslims and illegal immigrants, YOU are one huge fvcking globalist.

Hey Independent, how much foreign travel have you done? Where have you visited?

Also, what do you see as the "globalist agenda" and why is it scary?

For those who want a summary of why the russia thing is not a nothingburger and why obstruction is real, here's a nice long fair piece. It's so easy to forget the details when every week is a new scandal but it all adds up to obvious massive problems for trump and the WH

Yeah, that's interesting and all but remember a few FACTS...

1) despite all of this controversy--Trump's approval rating is still 80+% among Republicans

2) Republicans still control both houses of congress and Dems have failed to win any of the special elections to fill congressional seats left vacant by Trump appointees...this includes a race in which a GOP candidate assaulted a reporter.

3) it is very clear that the primary concern of the average Trump voter has nothing to do with facts, logic, or general concern for their own / their family / the countries well being. The Trump voters primary concern is pissing off libs / Dems. The basic idea here is: A decision that pisses off libs / Dems is a good decision even if the ultimate result is terrible for the country or even Trump voters specifically. Suck it Libs!!!

4) The overwhelming majority of Trump voters are mouthbreathing imbeciles incapable or rationale and logical thought.

Because of #1-3, nothing will come of the Russia-Trump thing. Now to be fair, the base of both parties are filled with low IQ folks that lack critical thinking skills. But, the election of Trump proves--once and for all--that the base voters of the GOP are by far the dumbest people on the planet.

Let me get this straight....Do RepubliKKKans expect us to believe Comey left his meeting with Trump went out to his car, wrote notes about the meeting and made up a HUGE lie that Trump asked him to back off the investigation of Flynn? He then met with top FBI officials to share these lies. Lastly, he risks his freedom by repeating the lies under oath. Really?????

Let's get something perfectly clear. TRUMP FOLLOWERS KNOW HE IS A LIAR!!! From the beginning lie of crowd size and the 5 million illegal voter crap Trumpvestites have made a decision to accept his crude behavior, incompetence and LIES as long as he does what he says he would do while campaigning.

Clinton is linked to multiple murders. You are an idiot.

This would be amusing if it weren't my country.

The sad thing is that we told you, trumpers. We told you he was a fraud.

Holy shit! That was the biggest load of crap ever posted on LRC.

Honestly son, please get some medical attention. No, I am not kidding. And I am not trying to put you down. You really, REALLY sound like you need help.

"Do you see how many of these EU leaders are childless?? You think that's coincidental?"

Get help!

Jamin, I thought you left and took your boyfriend, hardloper, with you.

Am I the only one who finds him incredibly unremarkable? Aside from making his wife queasy, what is he actually good at, attracting lawsuits? The man can barely string a sentence together and he's President. It's just f*cking unbelievable.
