Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

The Trump plan to flee the U.S. is getting blowback. Scotland says they will not allow Trump to stay at his money-losing golf course there.** Trump is likely to go with a stopover in Scotland and then take a second plane somewhere else. People think that will be Turkey but they have an extradition agreement with the U.S. A more likely hidey-hole is the UAE where Trump has a warm weather golf course, and has no extradition agreement with the U.S.

** By the way, golf course having been making money during the pandemic. But Trump has somehow managed to lose $90 million at his courses. A horrible businessman, or an obvious tax cheat to the extreme? Likely both.

Also contaplate this : If Trump would have said, " we're rounding the corner on the Virus" last night. They would have cheered and believed their Demagogue !!

Rounded a blind corner at full speed and smack into a brick wall. ... Trumper: "Yes, we rounded the corner just like Trump said! He is not responsible for what was around the corner."

Reagan 1984 would be right because there was no split vote. And there was a woman (gasp) Dem VP candidate. Sad, but that is the way it was.

In 1984 a less than 4,000 vote swing to Reagan in Wisconsin would have resulted in a near Electoral College clean sweep by Reagan: D.C. being the only loss with a result of 535-3 (vs. the actual 525-13.)

Nixon obliterated George McGovern in '72. Lyndon Johnson had a similar performance against Goldwater.

It's either Reagan, Nixon, or Lyndon Johnson - and maybe FDR in '36 or '40. I think those are the biggest blowouts in election history.

Since these are usually setup as trick questions, I think FDR and Reagan are too obvious so it's gotta be either Nixon or Johnson.

There he is! Feeling a little hopeful huh? Not to worry, surely those space aliens will come down any minute and prevent Biden from being sworn in.

I would have guessed Reagan, myself. But the correct answer is Tricky Dick. Nixon won by 18 million votes over McGovern in '72. Reagan won by 17 million over Mondale in '84.

Error admission: I was wildly INCORRECT about Biden's win having the 2nd largest vote margin. It was somewhere in the ballpark of 10th.

Blaming others' lack of reading comprehension for bad writing. Funny.

We have a winner! No real surprise it is Racket.

Respectfully, you missed the question entirely.

"Respectfully," it's a horribly written "question." I've already wasted too much time trying to decipher it. However, I will note that preemptively trying to dismiss any negative generalities about Trump supporters ("retard") is, after 4-5 long years, bogus. There's lack of intelligence to explain it, and an utter lack of principle/honesty/etc./etc. to explain it. Those are the only 2 choices, and between them, they summarize all Trump supporters.

Respectfully, it's possible you aren't very bright, or are semi-literate. There is nothing wrong with this question, as phrased, in response to the Bernstein tweet: "Why is this one particular moment in time so different than every other 'conceivable moment in US history' that this 'tape' doesn't lead to both parties demanding resignation of the President of the United States?" Note that it paraphrases or quotes most of what Bernstein tweeted.

I challenge you to draft a better question that attempts to drill down on the reasoning behind what Bernstein was saying.

I rephrased the question too, as it became clear I was dealing with some mid-level IQs who sometime need to be prodded twice: "What is particular to this specific moment in US history, such that this 'tape' where the President is, in your words, 'actively pushing election fraud,' does not result in both parties demanding the President's resignation, whereas every other 'conceivable moment in US history' would have such a result?"

There is nothing wrong with either question, and I again challenge you to draft a better one that captures the rather exaggerated and silly statement by Bernstein, and still questions the reasoning behind it. Think carefully about what I'm asking regarding the Bernstein quote - its not, as your fellow liberal seem to mistakenly believe, asking for reasons Trump and his followers suck, etc. We all know the rhetoric and opinions on that - they get repeated here constantly. I'm specifically asking about the specific statement Bernstein made. It's a real question.

Regan won Wisconsin in 1984. Only state he lost was Minnesota, which was Mondale's home state.

Corrected. And Mondale won his home state by less than 4000 votes (0.2%).

I thought Mondale was from SD?

As a former president, Trump will have enough trade-able state secrets to keep him safe and happy for quite awhile.

The thing that makes me think Turkey is a good choice is because he has his name on Trump Towers Istanbul. Trump would want to move in and treat it as his palace in exile. That would suit his ego quite well.

The Turkish people wouldn't like it because of the Muslim ban. But Erdoğan would love having him as a valuable asset.

If I am not mistaken, a Turkish developer named Aydin Dogan owns Trump Tower Istanbul, and he was apparently trying to cut his ties with Trump.

Erdogan also called for the removal of Trump name from the building.

So I don't think Turkey is a very safe place for Trump. If he goes there, I expect Erdgan will propose a swap of him and Fethullah Gulen.

Especially when his followers believe he is the son of God. Awful dad.

Anxiety pills. It's also not a good look for a troll to respond with lengthier narrative than the poster he's trying to troll.

Yeah turkey is a terrible place for him. Turkey is in a tight spot trying to stay in favorable terms with the US. They wouldn't let him stay, no way.

Russia is the only place where trump has value and can feel safe. Putin would parade him domestically and he'd love it, totally oblivious to the fact that he's a trophy.

There is a passage in 1984 - during a public event the government announces they are at war with a country other than the one everyone always knew they were at war with. The change of facts was not announced, it was just stated as a fact as if the prior truth never happened in the first place. And the people just cheered.
