Forgive my persistence. And, I also think examples of Trump's character problems are prolific and impossible to explain away. I do believe though that they've been obsessively over-hyped.
In a world containing the likes of Putin, Xi Jinping, Khamenei and Kim Jong-un, all of whom rule absolutely, until death do us part, with (blood soaked) iron fists, Trump - who was always going to be a here today gone tomorrow phenomena - seems pretty small fry. The number of postings on forums dedicated to the man though must far exceed any comments people (might dare to) post on the dictators mentioned combined. That is, before those same "Liberals" (
) who complain about Trump's authoritarian tendencies rush in to defend them of course. Don't you see it's all a bit hypocritical and "double think"?
Anyway, you said that Trump's actions in the last year had turned a lot of people against him. Paphitis replies that he got millions more votes than 2016, so obviously hasn't . You can't both be right.
No one I know here is in love with any of the dictators you have mentioned above, even though RH is a little defensive against Putin when it comes to America, but that’s him. Your argument is like saying one is better than the rest because one only beats his wife once a week and the rest does it 6 times a week. We are supposed to be living in a democracy in the USA in comparison to the rest you have mentioned. Hardly a level playing field to try to exonerate Trump’s negatives.
Yes, Trump got 7 million more votes in 2020 than 2016, assuming the dominion counting machines did no cheat and sent Biden’s votes to Trump instead
(yes, what’s good for the goose, it’s also good for the gander), however, Biden got 7 million more votes than Trump, so what does that tell you, that either Trump could have gotten 14 million more votes or that 15 million more voters than what Hillary received in 2016 hated Trump to vote against him. The bottom number is, Trump lost by a landslide in popular vote and electoral college. Time to move on as soon as Trump accepts his defeat or when he gets evicted from the White House on January 20th.
But Trump doesn’t beat his wife.
I posted a video a few days ago which encapsulated the Trump phenomena to a tee, and explained why so many people support him. It had a Christian slant on things as the chap in the video was the Head of The Australian Christian League. They are funded by organised religion. This includes the Orthodox Church - Greek, Russian, Serbian, Romanian, and Ukrainian. They pay fees and money to the ACL.
He answered everything perfectly as to why he became a Trump fan, he wasn’t originally because of his past. He admitted to being a supporter of the Democrats.
But Trumps term bared no resemblance at all to his past. That’s the first thing. He changed significantly. He worked tirelessly for America. What he said he did. And he did it with heart on sleeve. He did it also with a bombastic style.
So we all accepted that as he established a baseline of trust. We all got a politician we can trust. We all knew he would fight for America and the people.
And what drew the Christians in was his approach to social issues.
And then all that economic reform which created millions of jobs. This is why people voted for him.
