Official Donald Trump for President thread (5 Viewers)

[Rohn Jambo]

Lead his party to an ### kicking in midterm elections, ethics violations, shutting down the government, taking money to lobby or rather give "history lessons and advice" to whoever wants to pay him.

Sounds like a tough cookie.  Do you think he will deliver results because of his reputation?

 

[Sammy3469]

Doubting Trump's decisions is also "par for the course".

We;ll see how this one works out.  

I actually think he's a fine choice, just laughing at the difference between a trumps rhetoric and what he'll actually do.     It goes a long with putting a fence in some places instead of the BIG BEAUTIFUL WALL.

Sounds like a retread turd you find at the bottom of this stupid ### swamp analogy that keeps getting brought up.

 

[James Daulton]

"He's just calming the cucks" will be a common phrase for the next 4 years.

IMO the worst thing to come out of this stupid election cycle.

I don't see how he can possibly get away from at least trying to build the wall.  That was The central rallying cry that consolidated his support.

The cuck you say?

 

[Grace Under Pressure]

We may not get a wall or mass deportations, but we should see a revision to the tax code. Nothing should prevent it from going through, that legislation doesn't take anything but paperwork.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

let me translate this post "i dont have a legit answer but the media brainwashed me into not liking him"

Newt Gingrich went off the deep end shortly after he left office.  I can't track down every little interview or example to back that up, so I'll just leave you with this one:

Remind me again, which President did Newt serve?

 

[Dedfin]

No one knows who we have in office. That was one of the major reasons for voting for Hillary. It appears that Kellyanne and others have gained some control - Trump tweeted about the unfair protests and then a few hours later tweeted about the passion of the protesters. I'm waiting for his reply to Megyn's claims that he tried to bribe her. It will be an entertaining 4 years. I hope you're right about his foreign policy.    

Another thing he made a huge point in in his first speech was that he wanted to spend some money on infrastructure here.  That's something Dems have wanted time and time again, but Republicans always shoot down.  Again, this is something that liberals (really everyone) should be happy about.  We don't need to hate on Trump for the sake of it.  I'm just trying to find silver linings here.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

I'm lesbian. I have a child, and a partner. I have very good reasons to be scared.

id be more scared of the psycho protesters if i were you....and what an example they are setting for your child 

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Drain the swamp!

Hires head of RNC to run his office

Let's keep in mind here that we're not really rooting for the swamp to be drained.  Priebus is a better pick for Chief of Staff than some of the doofuses that have been put out there.  Not good, but not as bad as it could have been.  

Steve Bannon on the other hand . . .

[Dexter]

Hooray we've reached the point where all the losers who second guessed every move trump made to become the president. Are now going to second guess every move president trump makes while president.

We didn't listen to you then why would we listen to you now?

Rkobjs will not accept anything other than Newt has been framed by the leftist media elite.

 

[GrandpaRox]

"Drain the swamp" might be Trump's "Mission Accomplished" or "Read my lips". The head of the RNC as Chief of Staff doesn't scream cleaning house. 

If you only knew what it meant, was hoping to see you crawl under a rock for the next four weeks.

Why me? Before Election Day, I hadn't posted in a political thread in months. 

 

[badmojo1006]

Where is Kellyanne Conway going to end up in the Trump WH? Trump would still be stuck in endless Twitter wars instead of the White House if not for her.

I have not seen her on any lists for WH jobs

If I were guessing I would say press secretary. 

That would be a big step down from being the Campaign Manager.

And looking at the people that are up for cabinet positions, almost all are old white males.

 

[GrandpaRox]

Preibus named Chief of staff

Great choice for Chief of Staff.

......will fill page after page just waiting for the "told you so!". Or if something goes well it will be due to Obama.

 

[Ilov80s]

One thing that drives me nuts is the instant over the top nastiness that comes when someone says something negative. Disagree or have a complaint and the hardcore supporters get so aggressive. I have been pretty middle of the road over the last year. I don't like Trump. I don't like Hillary either. However, there are things I agree with both on. There are other posters here that are not blatant partisans either. Not every person is a libtard cuck or a racist white nationalist. We can disagree and debate without writing others off as brainwashed morons. Drop the insults and stick to the issues.

It comes with the job. He's president, not supreme ruler. No one has to bend knee and kiss a ring.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

This is the actual statement from Trump on leadership.

- Sounds like yet another power struggle and confusion over who runs what is inevitable.

How about you and everyone else compliment Trumpbwgen he does something smart, criticize him when he does something wrong, and mock him when he does something stupid, just like every other president?

 

[Loan Sharks]

Sorry I disagree that everyone should mock people that make mistakes. It is rude and classless. 

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

We may not get a wall or mass deportations, but we should see a revision to the tax code. Nothing should prevent it from going through, that legislation doesn't take anything but paperwork.

Could be more if a wall-fence or a fence-fence really...

And a deportation force isn't in the plans either...

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

Sorry I disagree that everyone should mock people that make mistakes. It is rude and classless. 

We don't mock our leaders when they do dumb things in this country now? Ok.

 

[Loan Sharks]

Well you shouldn't intentionally disparage anyone, if everyone else is behaving like a boor so you jump in, that makes you a boor as well. 

 

[Joe Summer]

It's boor, not bore.

 

[Joe Summer]

Oops, I guess I should have given you notice that I was about to disparage you so that you could retreat to your safe space?

 

[Loan Sharks]

It's boor, not bore.

Thanks! I didn't know that. 

 

[Loan Sharks]

Oops, I guess I should have given you notice that I was about to disparage you so that you could retreat to your safe space?

No, this is a perfect example. Some one makes a mistake and you politely point it out to get it corrected. No need for mockery or derision. If everyone plays nice we can make america great again!

Demand this of internet posters not of your president

 

[joey]

you were asked a straight forward question and you can't give an answer because you're uninformed. You have these feelings about the person because you were brainwashed, but you can't put these feelings into words that makes logical sense. Scary.

Feelings are all that matter, right?

I'll intentionally disparage any public official I like. This is America.

You are only responsible for your actions. Can't control other people. I choose to act civily to others.

 

[Loan Sharks]

Of course you will and it will lower you as a person. It is well within your rights to act gutterally.

 

[The General]

Electing the ultimate troll to the big house does perhaps lower civility. 

 

[rojbk]

Telling Trump supporters this is America is quite amusing as we are the biggest patriots in this country. It is the anti trumpers that HATE America and want us to become like Germany

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

So criticism of public leadership is 'gutter' behavior. Ok.

What the o/u on how long it would take Trump to get banned on here? A week? Two?

Uh Roj I was speaking of the principle of criticizing our leaders. I haven't heard of this issue from anyone else but LS. I certainly don't think he hates America.

He wasn't saying you couldn't criticize people, but he was giving his own perspective that he would never criticize anyone like a child would. You want to act like a child, that is your right for sure. He is quite aware this is America.

 

[The General]

What the o/u on how long it would take Trump to get banned on here? A week? Two? 

He'd be on at least his 4th alias

 

[Loan Sharks]

You didn't say criticism, you are walking it back now. 

There is a difference between thoughtful discourse and intentional disparages no?

CSTU is actually Hillary Clinton.

LS I have nothing but respect for you so let's not let this get out of hand. IMO mockery and satire is criticism. Voltaire is probably the highest level of thoughtful discourse and it's also full of disparagement. So are Socrates, Will Rogers and George Carlin and a good deal of discussion on this board and everyday legitimate political discussion. I have no idea if this is some fine ontological point, but I'm not talking about Trump wearing a funny tie or his hair or his use of terms like 'bigly,' where we laugh and point like a child. The man is the president now and he serves the people, not the other way around. He should be treated like every other president. My original point was that I will be fair to him, I would hope or think we can shake on that.

No problem nothing but respect. I come from a weird place I know it. I have not been involved in politics in a long time. I still have that respect the rank not the man attitude. I disagreed with some Obama policies but I never once thought he was trying to harm America intentionally. We are in a place now where people are literally burning the president in effigy in front of his home. Can you imagine a mob burning a black effigy of Obama in front of his house? Crazy right? I am just very aware that divisive language is what got us to a place where disparaging someone who is doing what he thinks is best for this country is actively compared to Hitler on a daily basis and I refuse to partake in it. That being said I would fight for your right to say anything you want. 

Its all good.
