FYI, I just learned that China is phasing out steel and coal plants and they have agreed to a carbon tax (only a few states in the US). So they are doing more in terms of policy than the US.

On top of that, he mocks the disabled, sexually abuses women, stiffs small businesses who work for him, calls Americans who didn’t support him “the opposition,” talks about African Americans like they are second-class citizens, signs an executive order making it easier to pollute our rivers and streams, disparages immigrants and Muslims, says that he’s cool with a nuclear arms race, calls our free press “the enemy,” selects the wealthiest, most inexperienced, most uninformed cabinet ever, has failed to provide his tax returns, has some questionable ties with Russia and Putin, etc.

If those things are all right with you. Cool. They are not all right with me.



This is exactly what I'm talking about. The truth is the leftists ones who implement bullying tactics shouting people down calling names and physically preventing people from speaking, blocking roads, beating people up, damaging property.

Obama and Hillary both referred to republicans as the "enemy", and of course the famous "basket of deplorable" comment...

Beyond that Trump does not disparage immigrants or the disabled. He HAS NOT sexually assaulted women, which Bill Clinton in fact has. Everyone seems to have forgotten that Bill Clinton was impeached.

The left are the racists holding African Americans to a lower standard entrenched in a perpetual welfare state and existence in sub par schools and communities.

The government is such a mess maybe bringing in people who are successful in the private sector to replace corrupt career political hacks isn't such a bad idea.


And this is why I don't engage with conservatives anymore. You point out any contradictions and you're a bully, leftist, elitist etc. If memory serves correct, Obama was branded "the enemy" before he even stepped into office and you made no bones about the objective being to obstruct him at every turn...but I'm sure you have an alternative reality to that also. So whatever. Trump can shoot someone in the face and you would still support him. The most poignant thing he's ever said.

The laughable notion of you on here lecturing people about being corrupt and bullies. A Trump supporter. You don't know diddly squat about Trump.



Look, I am not some blind Trump obsessionist. Believe me, every time he talks I'm like "stop talking". He is far from perfect. My candidate of choice was Scott Walker. But to say the Republican congress obstructed Obama at every turn is ridiculous, and in fact he often didn't even give them a chance with his numerous unconstitutional executive orders.

The only reason I tolerate Trump and his bombast is because I am just exhausted by the radical left tactics and I appreciate his willingness to pick up the fight. I mean he is 70, a success in every way, financially set for life... He doesn't need to do this. He paid for most of his campaign himself, unlike Hillary with all her super pac funding, and he isn't even accepting the presidential salary. I honestly believe he is doing it because he loves America. But my support of him rests solely in my belief that liberal democratic principles don't work. They will eventually run our country into the ground. I believe in the free enterprise system, and limited government.

And I am not lecturing anybody or calling you a bully, I mean seriously? I was responding to the post stating Trump is a "bigot" and "bully". I'm simply pointing out you don't see conservatives physically blocking someone from speaking on a campus and rioting. Believe me I wish we could simply stick to actual issues and ideas for solving our problems.

While I didn't like Clinton for her super PACs, Trump eventually embraced them. He still gives the appearance that he is interested in money because he has not put his companies in a blind trust and he still has not released his tax returns.

Now that's laughable. If Trump loved America he wouldn't label those Americans who voted against him "the opposition." If Trump loved America he wouldn't call those Americans who make up the media "the enemy."

Trump loves making money. Trump loves being in the spotlight. Trump loves being liked. Trump loves Trump.

And, yes, I believe Trump is a bigot, a bully and a liar. That's my opinion. You don't have to share it.
