Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

So do we know anything more about the US involvement in Afghanistan now after that speech?

Or does Trump just not want us talking about racism, Russia and his finances?

All they do is FLAGPOLE, brah.

I sent those NPR/PBS/Marist poll to my Liberals buddies. They couldn't believe the numbers. THAT'S what a biased media industry does for you. It's protects you from the truth you don't want to hear.

It is so nice that with each of these made up / over-hyped / sensationalized horror stories the media pushes about Trump (race-baiting, pu$$y-grabbing, etc), the public polling pushes back and says "sorry d!ckheads, we hate YOU more" to the manipulative scumbags.

But these scumbags are so out of touch. I was watching a talking head show on CNN the other day, and they STILL refer to Trump's base as "disenfranchised", "hurting", etc. What the hell are they on?! He WON every income group over $50K. Every single group. He won white college grads. He won the suburbs (the key to winning elections). These talking heads are either idiots, or clearly carrying out a manipulative agenda of undermining democracy by lying to the public constantly.

I work for a major engineering/manufacturing firm. Most people have advanced degrees in something (engineering, business, etc) and everyone makes good money. The support for Trump and/or hatred of the MSM is at very high levels.

glad you agree that approval ratings are valid.

Oh yeah -

Trump has the lowest approval ratings ever recorded for an elected president at this stage in his presidency.

Lowest ever.

True that his approval ratings aren't high, but I for one am not getting too giddy about that...he has a bunch of really dumb people who voted for him, and most of them will do it again if given the chance. Trump already started with a low approval rating on day 1 as he did not win the popular vote. It only matters how the electoral college shakes out. While I would love to see him lose the next election, the chance that he could get re-elected is too great. Need Mueller to keep getting info on The Donald and put this dude to the curb as soon as possible. As insane as it has been so far, a second-term Trump who wouldn't need to hold back at all for political reasons, and the crazy would then be 100% unleashed.

Nope. … Trump is an ignorant buffoon.

Only a bufoon stays in the nation building business. No more blank checks. Trump called out Pakistan and the new rules of engagement that puts the USA into a proactive posture.

Plus we are going from a time based to a condition based battle field decision making philosophy. We finally have a CIC that our military respects. One of Trump's best speeches.

MAGA!!!

Cool story, bro. Trump blames Pakistan for everything like he blames China for NK and everything gets worse.

I know most 'history' and 'facts' are all invalidated by your latest conspiracy theories, this time it will be different because the Dear Leader picked a gift-wrapped plan.

Just ignore the other two times a super power invaded Afghanistan and left humiliated and exhausted. Facts don't matter.

What happened to draining the swamp?

Minuchen and his wife are looking like some swamp things right now.

Trump and his pals already love the swamp and it's been maybe 6 months.

If only someone knew how this would turn out. Need more vacations.

So he had zero chance to win last November but now that he is failing miserably in every direction his re-election chances are too great.

According to 538, Trump had a 35% chance of winning. He beat the odds, but it wasn't really so unexpected.

Even if his chances are now down to 20%, it's too great a chance.

Just like you ignore Obama's nation building failure, an inconvenient truth for you.

Even better, Trump’s job approval ratings went up across the board:

On the overall job approval front, post Charlottesville, Trump has improved

+4 points in Gallup

+6 points with Quinnipiac (compared to the previous month)

Real Clear Politics, Trump’s average approve/disapprove improved from 37.4%/ 57.4% (-20) to 39%/55% -16) — hardly spectacular, but more proof that, at best, the media frenzy has had absolutely no effect whatsoever on public opinion. At worst (in the eyes of the media), the public has inched closer to Trump post-Charlottesville.

If the media has no effect on public opinion, why are people spending so much time and effort to discredit the MSM?

Why does the lib echo chamber hang onto every word and repeat the same MSM talking points against Trump?

That, like, didn't really answer the question.

Because libbbtwats are mindless zombies who mimic their socialist masters.

Libbbtwats are incapable of individual thought or reason.

Nope...

538 gave him just a 28.6% chance, which was by far the highest of any outlet. NYT was like 8%. CNN was reporting it under 10% on election day as well.

Trump's victory was incredibly unexpected. Don't try to revise history to make yourself feel better. Why do you think the Left is STILL in peril and weeping about the outcome?

Let's not forget Nate Silver gave Trump a 2% chance of winning the nomination in the first place. So funny.

I think you missed my point.

Flagpole famously said Trump had 0% chance over and over.

So now if he's saying he has any chance next time, than it is a literally infinitely greater chance than he said before.

Trump said he was going to release his tax returns.

Trump said he was going to build a wall.

Trump said he was going to drain the swamp.

Trump said he was going to get out of Afghanistan.

Trump said he was going to __________ [enter an of his 1001 lies].

nobody is revising

the difference between 29 and 35 is not all the significant. They both say that Trump had roughly a 1/3 chance to win. This is not a hard science - polls have margins of error as do data analysis programs.

But yes, probably everyone other than Silver gave Trump lower odds, and yes it was a major surprise to almost everyone, including Trump, who fully expected to lose.

so before you call the mainstream idiots, consider that your own man thought the same thing.
