Ew. Speak for yourself. Most of us only think about him because he’s one party’s nominee and there’s going to be an election.

No, I'm pretty sure he lives rent-free in your head and will for the rest of your life, regardless of his status as a presidential candidate.

Are you a teenager?

Nothing I wrote was inaccurate. There are many individuals on this board who - at least according to them - woke up every night from 2017-2021 in the middle of the night terrified of the next mean tweet. And, according to them, they continue to wake up sweaty and terrified that the mean tweets might return. They are meanwhile just fine with high inflation, open borders, wars all over the world, rampant crime, and a host of other issues. Those issues don't terrify them at all, the real problem is the mean tweets.

All these words just to explain that you don’t read history and never took a college level comparative politics course. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

I'm not a Trump lover by any means but Trump is very obviously himself. He makes no attempt at hiding anything about his desires but make no mistake - most of those in politics have the same nasty warts. They will look different but the skeletons are nasty. Obama basically mowed over his mentor to ascend the throne of Presidency. His ruthlessness never gets talked about but holy crap his nastiness is pretty much on par or even worse than Trump in a different context but measurably nasty. I'm just saying - most people keep their nastiness hidden and I actually feel like Trump's allure is he puts it all out there which dons people just respect. In this day and age it's a rarity. Not condoning what a mess of a person he is but he gives it to you totally straight. There's a ton of politicians Biden included that are pretty horrible in a ton of ways you just won't see that publicly but they aren't better. Apples to apples in policy Trump isn't a terror as much as he is personally. Anyone who doesn't agree is not being factual. He's an evil ogre personally but professionally his record was not the horror people feared when he got elected. The vax policies are debatable. You can't accuse him of killing people because he didn't shut things down I think we prob went too far there. Other than that he pretty much kept the peace. He took us out of environmental initiatives and was the laughing stock of the world alienating our allies but on paper he didn't actually damage is long term. The GOP platform isn't one that aligns with climate change for the most part so that wasn't a big surprise. Again everything wrong with him is personality and nature but that's a very separate thing than his politics. Not suggesting it shouldn't be a huge consideration in electing someone appropriate but again in the debate about nastiness, warts come in all shapes and sizes. What you don't see is still there!

Please link to articles about Obama’s “nastiness”.

As I am thinking to vote for Republicans, I see so much hate for Trump. When Trump was President, it was same like the earlier 20 years for me except there were no wars. So what is wrong with Trump that is not the case with Democrat nominees? If it is his moral character then there are Democrat Presidents who have also been immoral. So I am ruling that out. Is it because he talks brash? That’s the only thing I can think of. Please explain and keep it simple. Why you hate Trump?

OP, if this is a legit post, I'm curious to know what country you emigrated from. Can you share with us?

Yes I am from India. Most replies I got are what I already mentioned- his moral values (which both parties are a problem) and the way he speaks.

I am willing to put those two aside and vote for him if he puts America First. Strong immigration laws and promise the country will have a border, that you can come only through the front door, build the economy and no wars.

Biden is no longer a choice for me. And none of the replies about Trump are any worse than what the other side is.

Most likely I am going to vote for Trump this time around unless they take him out by the plethora of court cases of which I think the timing is wrong.

You are why I basically don’t trust immigrants. Sorry folks. You are here for economic reasons and don’t give two hoots about democracy or American culture. Trump has promised to deport Muslims and Hispanics so maybe that’s a positive.

And then stuff like this:

LEO TERRELL: If the Democrat Party does not receive anywhere between 85 or 90% of the Black vote, there's no Democrat Party. That photograph of that Black woman with President Trump is a nightmare for CNN, MSNBC, New York Times. They have sent out a false narrative – Trump is a racist, Black people hate Trump. You see that photograph? That photograph shows a disconnect as to what the left-wing media is portraying. Newsflash, Trump is likable. Black people like Trump. And those numbers that you just pointed out, Dana, reflect a shift from the Democrat Party to Donald Trump. And you can see a lot more of that because that is what's happening. Look, everyone knows four years ago, Dana, I made the switch when Joe Biden said, if you don't vote for me, "you ain't Black." Well, I'm still Black and I'm voting for Trump

Trump is not likeable. He is disgusting and abusive and narcissistic. Who likes someone who says they are the best at everything? It’s ridiculous how much he needs to be adored. Yuck.

Not to mention, the whole thing of the black woman with Trump turned out to be a lie. I know through a friend just how racist Trump actually is. I'm a former New Yorker, and I cannot believe that *this* guy is the one half the country chose to be the cult leader.

I feel like all of us in the NE knew he was a sleezy conman. I’ve always said I wouldn’t have hired him to mow my lawn- I can’t believe anyone would hire him to run a country.

Trump is also loved by people .. millions of people

A better question is “why is Joe Biden not loved by anybody”

Plus, the vast majority of people, US citizens included, don't understand that people lining up a check point ARE coming through the front door.

Why do I hate Trump? Because he is a con man, and now he is a tired old possibly broke con man who wants to drag the US down with him.

Idiots always use hollow generalities against Trump: “ Wah! Destroy democracy! Ack! Ruin country! No! Not nice! Ahh! MAGA!”

If they had specifics, they would use them. Instead we get emotions & generalities.

Throughout this thread and many others, people have poined out specific instances of his shortcomings - his many failings as a business man, numerous judgments against him, for anything from housing discrimination to rape, words out of his own mouth about how people of power and privilege can do anything to women, his own actions while in power to seize power illegally, to mishandle top secret documents, etc. If at this point your response is that no one can point to specifics, it's because you're being intentionally obtuse.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve read here. Are you being paid for this?

Maybe read up on the people who actually worked in his administration. They're among his most vocal detractors now.

If PP went through our normal immigration process, who cares if he/she is here for economic reasons? Welcome! Come, work hard and prosper. That is absolutely what America is about.

They are participating in the democratic process by voting. They should choose whichever President/party they believe will focus on America's safety and prosperity.

Sounds good to me.

Hope Trump wins in November.

Biden has been a complete disaster.

Two specifics off the top of my head: Vindman episode (for which Trump was impeached) and Jan 6th.

Since everyone posting here has lived through all these things, we don't post details. Why waste time writing paragraph and paragraph worth of details when you won't read them anyhow and repeat catch phrases from right wing news?

Go on and buy a Trump Bible, some Trump shows, and buy some Truth Social stock. If you aren't familiar with the specifics by now, you never will be, and you should give Trump all your money.
