As I, unemotionally, reminisce about my feelings for DJT in 2016, I recall the TV show the Apprentice, which I only watched maybe, ... four times. I recall thinking he was a New York liberal, entitled , a blowhard. He was loved by the press going all the way back to Johnny Carson and nothing evil was ever printed of him.
So, I had a somewhat preconceived notion of Trump being a typical New York liberal with some business notions of conservative principles needed for any businessman to survive. But generally speaking, I did not trust him.
I then, diligently, sought out to prove myself wrong and give this blow hard the benefit of doubt. I went back 30 years and watched every interview available that he had ever done.
To my surprise, every single policy DJT spoke of for 30 years, from trade imbalance to, taxation without representation to constitutional freedoms, I agreed with 100%.
So, I voted for him and became a fan and became an outspoken advocate of his policies and even an apologist for him.
I even loved how he was not a politician and tweeted shit to troll the press and his adversaries, I loved when he did it did because I am an asshole of like mindedness.
But when I step out of the emotion of what happened and look with conservative eyes , I see disastrous decisions in his last year of the presidency.
He released 1.9 trillion in emergency spending, sparking off the inflation and supply chain issues we now face and he fast tracked the big pharma/luciferian/ kill-them-all types to kill folks in hospitals and force most folk who want to be employed to inject themselves with life altering DNA changes.
So, now I am not so much of a fan, it seems to me DJT released 1.9 trillion to give 2400 bucks to Americans to buy the vote but did not care one bit how badly it would effect us all. The inflationary blow back has been incredible.
Many parts of the world are months away from starvation and we, in the US, follow shortly behind, unless immediate changes are made.
So, in short, poisoning the world, on his watch, starting the inflation to drive us to revolution, n his watch.
Consider the fact that DJT maybe so dispassionate that whether he wins or looses, r we suffer or not is irrelevant to him ,as long as he did his job.
I know you're attempting to be even-handed, but your argument has to rely a bigger picture of the dynamics at work in Trump's presidency. For one, the swamp had the power. Not really Trump. Congress was opposed to Trump and tried to sabotage his every move. The budget spending was really a uni-party deal that Trump could not stop. He could have fallen on the sword and vetoed, but this would only add to the already 95% bad press he was already getting. They had the numbers to override his veto. Trump knew this. So, the only hand left for him was to go along with it, spin it and claim victory. Trump chose his battles in the beltway with only the limited hand that was provided him. This is actually common practice to public figures. As an example of this type of thing, watch the Johhny Depp libel suit. For Trump not being a politician he knows how to play the 'game'.
I cannot argue with anything you said, really. Where were you earlier when i wanted free thinkers to comment? All I got above was bots or shills calling me fag and even my insightful comments being downvoted into oblivion.
Not fair, there where some good comments in the thread but a hole lot of dog turds too. lol
You are forgiven.
I just like to discuss and bounce my ideas off opposing views, because I might temper my views with new data, unlike some of the infantile nitwits' among the so called "based".
Of course, I don't read all the posts on GAW. That would be a daunting exercise. I'm glad I saw your post though. I try to always 'add' to the conversation. However, it seems some people like to make rash judgement with a one line 'piss-off' sentence. Your post was most certainly deserving of a mindful response.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. It is all I can ask of anyone
