I’m happy to share some criticisms of Trump. First, morally, I don’t think he is the type of person I would look up to, especially given his colorful past of infidelity. I also think he could speak in a more unifying way and not alienate people. Leaders unite and I think there is some improvement that can be made there.

Second, he stated that he would end the Russia/Ukraine war as president-elect before even stepping into the Oval Office. Don’t make promises you can keep. This promise hasn’t been kept, and we should stay out of the war anyway. Speaking of staying out of things, he is pro-Israel and we should stop support for Israel and stay out of the conflict with a Palestine as well.

Third, he hasn’t balanced the federal budget or decreased the deficit. I like the idea with DOGE and cutting frivolous spending, but I would have taken it even farther than he did. He hasn’t distinguished himself from the past presidents who all overspend.

I could list several more criticisms, but what’s the point. You you still miss the big idea that I don’t blindly support Trump. I simply agree with more of his policies than I do with Biden’s, Hillary’s or Obama’s. If there was a more moderate Democrat who supported the 1st and 2nd amendments, was fiscally responsible, and not have a bizarre fixation on social issues, I would probably consider voting for them.

Trump is actually a dictator... Chosen by the people,, yes but not elected...

Nobody is elected under a rigged election system,, there can only be appointments,, not elections... The locals,, states and federal government has been knowingly certifying fraudulent elections for a very long time...

When you vote,, you are giving your approval,, your permission for them to rig the elections and put in whoever they want,, to pass whatever measures they want via their fraud system...

They are rigging the elections in several different ways so as to have every angle covered...

Trump got in in 2016 because Our Military, working with foreign powers shut down some of the vote rigging mechanism to get him in office,, In 2020 they did not prevent the fraud so that we could see how bad things were,, then in 2024 they stopped the fraud again enough to get him back in to finish the operation...

Streamer,

I appreciate that your support for Trump isn't blind. Trump is amoral, and by itself that's not a disqualifier. It's his despicable scum of the earth nature that makes it impossible for me to even consider giving the azzhole the time of day. He deserves credit for turning the southern border situation around, although his methods are disgusting. Deporting people who are in the country legally isn't making the US more respected among nations. Most of his actions have most of the rest of the world losing respect for the US, but Trump would never know because of the bubble he keeps himself in.

Because you like more of Trump's policies than those of Clinton's, Biden's, or Obamas, you end up supporting a fascist US government. Trump is fascist because he's using his power to control law firms, universities, businesses, and broadcasting media for starters, along with weaponizing the DOJ like no president has ever done. He appoints incompetent people who's main qualification is their unwavering loyalty to him. These things and more are what you support, even if they are unintended consequences from your POV. However, Trumps told us all that he would do these things, so it's not like anyone who voted for him isn't supporting fascism.

If things hadn't gone so far to the left in the democratic party, I don't think the average centrist American would have voted him in. Instead, toxic social media, the villainization and demonization of each side has caused the great divide.

Half truths and outright lies have made this so much worse. In the past both sides have been paralyzed from doing anything effective in areas of border security, the deteriorating large cities, corporate greed, misapplied socialism, etc. We should have health care that is affordable for all. We should have safe cities, we should have truth in causation of social ills, and not just play the blame game but apply resources to fairly create opportunities. In this state they love to say you can't arrest your way out of homelessness. How is that working out?

I'm sure glad we have such high taxation in this state since we all see how well our money is used to solve problems and provide the average tax payer services. Ha!

Good example is the so called climate tax on fuel (besides the new fuel tax). What a joke. Go ahead and look up how that has been spent so far.

I think this state wants us in a perpetual state of paying for all this and then coming to rely on the government for everything.

Yet we not only vote in taxes that hurt us, we don't demand that the ones we didn't vote for get thrown out. What are the metrics to measure the success of any of it?

Okay, rant over. hahahaha
