Beating a dead horse thoughts on Trump


Apr 27, 2021, 9:58 PM

Some of you know that I absolutely hate Trump’s personality. I hate nothing worse than a narcissistic liar. I think we can all agree Trump is that. Trump is incapable of admitting losing anything, and that’s why I thought his whole game of saying the election was rigged had no credibility. It’s possible he has a point, but since he has no credibility he doesn’t deserve to be heard. He’s like the little boy who cried Wolf.

But to be honest another side of me appreciated his ideas, and if I had more respect for him as a person wish that he could’ve been reelected. I’m not happy about some of the possible changes that seem to be coming with the Democrats in control.

So I guess I’m just conflicted. It would’ve been nice if Trump was not so divisive and could’ve had the political skills to attract some people that aren’t from his base. This would’ve meant that Trump would’ve had to of been perceived as a honorable person. I get that he never would’ve been elected without his rebel style, but it’s just frustrating that he was not more of a unifying presence. Say what you want about Biden, but he was a much tougher candidate than Hillary. To beat Biden he had to do things differently than he did against Hillary. Maybe that would’ve been phony for him to project himself as more inclusive of those who didn’t agree with him, but let’s face it that’s how politics works.

Anyway, I know I’m being repetitive because I have posted similar posts before. But I am so perplexed by the entire Trump political story. It’s amazing that he was elected as president, and I will not take that away from him. But it’s also very frustrating that he could not behave in a way that would’ve allowed him to be reelected.

Re: Beating a dead horse thoughts on Trump


Apr 27, 2021, 10:35 PM

Wow. Every sentence you wrote, is wrong. That’s an amazing feat.

First of all, “we” will never agree on anything Trump related. And the little boy that cried wolf was attacked 24/7 with millions of lies led by the Russian collusion b.s. from the left, and their bedfellows the MSM. CNN literally had 47k “bombshells” about Trump that were untrue.

Next, you act like the only people that voted for trump were neckbearded fellows that are doomsday preppers. You do realize that his “base” tallied the most votes EVER for a Republican, right?

Trump could never unify or rally because the Dems will never allow it. You guys like to view Romney as some great Republican, but remember what the Dems did to him a few years ago? Completely destroyed the man. Because they are ruthless, disgusting, terrible people. Trump just refused to back down like the Romney’s of the world, and that caused the Dems to get more outrageous than ever. Take Biden’s own words over his career about blacks and then pretend that trump said those things. He would be burned alive. Because Dems are the definition of hypocrisy.

Now the facts. Trump cut taxes, solidified the border, dumped the WHO and Iranian deal, forced NATO partners to pony up, led the country to the lowest employment ever. Basically he believes that people that work hard and follow the law, should reap the rewards that they seek.

Dems are the complete opposite. Open borders, giving money away to other countries that hate us, rewarding people that make bad decisions by taking from those that make good ones. For instance, I worked and saved my whole life, now Biden wants to take away my social security because I have a 401k, and give my SS to someone that doesn’t work, lives in section 8 and had 4 kids. ###!!!!!! And YOU voted for that. Not saying that people don’t hit hard times but we have a culture that relishes in the welfare circuit. If I lived in section 8 and didn’t have a job, I would find a job and the last thing I would do is have more children. That’s a terrible decision, and liberals reward it, over and over. You voted for a VP that literally bailed out rioters. ###!!! Again. So, some dudes burn down your business and your VP bails them out. Rewarding terrible behavior, all for a vote. You realize the ZERO Dems live among those that they are “helping”. Why is that?

And you worried about Trump’s mean tweets? Give me a a fkn break.

Get outta here with that weak crap. The deficit was half a trillion when Obama left office, which was much better than when he took office. Trump tripled that even before COVID hit. Why was "the business man" so bad with our nation's finances. Why do the "fiscal conservatives" either pretend this didn't happen or make weak excuses?

We spent 100B more on the military in 2019 than we did in 2016. That only accounts for 10% of the increased deficit if you are willing to admit that Trump DID NOT increase revenue vs Obama. You have a long way to go to try and prove Trump was at least equal to Obama when it came to handling the nation's finances. Let's see what else you got.

LOL at your charts which include 2020. I was comparing apples to apples, so I left 2020 out because of how COVID skewed the numbers. We had 3 years of Trump prior to 2020 to see how poorly he did. You still can't account for why Trump exploded the deficit compared to Obama. Obama also had to deal with rising welfare costs. The increased defense spending doesn't come close to make up for the increased deficit. Trump was terrible at the nation's finances, at that's embarrassing for you because "The Business Man" was suppose to fix it, not make it worse. Whoops.

Since you can't defend the failures of "the business man" you're now deflecting, correct. Democrats have always been known for spending money. It's what you've been claiming your whole life. But it's amazing how quiet you got on deficits and spending for 4 years. So why were you so quiet about deficits and spending when Trump was in office, but get really vocal and concerned when a Democrat is in office? Why do you cherry pick when you are "concerned" about the debt? Dis gonna be gud.

This is beyond pathetic and laughable. Trump was POTUS for 4 years, but I'm doing you a solid by throwing out year #4 because of COVID. But here you are trying to hold Obama accountable for his first few years when he inherited a world recession. Trump inherited an economy that was already humming along. And Trump had both the house and the Senate for 2 if the 3 years we are counting. He signed his first 2 Omnibus bills during that time. Things got better the longer Obama was in office. Things got worse the longer Trump was in office. Embarrassing truths for Trumpkins and their narratives. #InconvenientFacts

Destroyed my argument? LOL. How is that when the FACTS are that Trump inherited a good economy with control over BOTH houses, yet somehow managed to TRIPLE the deficit while bragging we had the greatest economy EVER. Let's recall that "the business man", with control of both houses of congress,, signed 2 omnibus bills while at the same time cutting taxes. If you are even somewhat decent at math, you should be able to easily figure out why out debt went through the roof under Trump. Why would a skilled "business man" cut income and increase spending at the same time? Has it even crossed your mind that Trump is a fraud when it comes to running a legitimate business?

So what you're saying is that the Republican led house and senate was able to keep Obama "reigned" in, which is why he did so well the deficit. But that same Republican led House and Senate caused Trump to have to drastically increase spending while cutting revenue (taxes) at the same time, and this was all the democrats fault even though they were the minority in both houses?

I really am curious to find out why you think he is not that? And a whataboutism response doesn’t prove he is not a narcissistic liar.

Those of you who are incapable of criticizing your dear leader are going to doom the republican party. To suggest that Trump did not have serious issues means you have your head in the sand. As I said in my original post there are things about him that were good. But to be so biased that you can’t step outside of your Republican bias to fairly evaluate Trump is the reason our country is in trouble at the moment.

I can promise you that as a guy in the middle if Biden screws up it will not pain me in anyway to admit that and criticize him. I’m not happy about some of the things he’s floating now as it will impact me in a very negative way.

But at the end of the day I was just not comfortable having a US president who in my opinion has a serious narcissistic personality disorder as leader of our country. I will concede that he made some good contributions and he did wake up America to some issues we need to deal with. But the guy is just nuts and totally not trustworthy. That’s just my opinion.

Can we stop pretending that he had any redeeming qualities. Tax cut, Killing Baghdadi, and getting some Supreme Court justices. Two of those three I hardly give Trump credit for long-standing Republican legislative goals. That’s it. That’s the list of really impressive things that happened in his four years. It pales next to the list of abject failures, chief among them their lack of any coordinated effort to address COVID.

The man is a blabbering idiot, and that’s all there is to it. Listening to him speak for more than 15 seconds, the blatant stupidity is mind-numbing. Do yourself a solid and listen to the injecting UV light press conference again. I mean what in the actual flying #### was that. Every single time this man opened his mouth, it just left you slack-jawed wondering how someone so colossally retarded could be the POTUS.(1) Yet this was a weekly, nay, almost daily occurrence. You can be an idiot or be a psychopath, but the combination of the two was downright unpleasant.

Trump was probably in a very, very prime position to revolutionize the presidency and make some great changes that went against the two-party norms. Sadly, the divisive rhetoric you mentioned, the embracement of fascist ideology, and the spiteful tactics--which, I dunno, those all helped him get elected--overshadowed any good he accomplished. He could have worked with the media better to help push positive agendas and policies to push back against the two-party mess we have.

So, it was a very wasted opportunity. But a narcissist will never realize that.
