Ok, here is a comment about the content. Im not a Trump supporter and not American. From the outside people can see that many Americans are polarized, and are not able to see that a man can do both good and bad things. I bet you think you are correct when it is blatantly obvious you cannot see that half of your list is either nonsense or is something good. Here we go ..
...[text shortened]... s of trust.
13. Donald Trump fights a never-ending battle for Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN way!
Your concise common sense, logic and rationale saved the forum conservative republicans and our ilk typing time , which time can now be better spent supporting getting the USA back on track, among other things.
Refreshing indeed, and I hope Kmax and his bros-in-arms always notice that we do not vent with angst such as certain others on this Forum.
Kudos

Interesting that not ONE liberal on the Forum has ever named ONE thing that Trump has done that is good for America. Their lack of rationale is a puzzle.
Just having to restrain themselves I guess evidences the source of their angst.
Me, I would have maybe picked a different vehicle than a blanket if writing that post. Says a lot.
@AverageJoe1 saidWell you could always start the ball rolling with this conversation by naming a few bad things that Trump has done. Right?

Then to make you feel better, we'll try and find a couple of good things. m'kay
@kmax87 saidContrare' i myself have often voiced discontent. You libs miss that because you are only keyed in to people who rave. Mine was soft spoken.

His overreacting to the 2020 election
Although he was not part of the mess on Jan 6, he in hindsight should look back and admit that his conduct was inappropriate. He has his reasons, but it should not have been to the extent of pressuring officials. Bad form
Classified Documents brought to his home? What stupidity. And then to react defensively....why don't people just say I screwed up?
He pressured Ukraine to start political investigations, which is none of his business.. I guess that is not so bad since we give them big time welfare.
He sometimes uses presidential power for personal gain, but Harry Truman was the last man to not do that. Also, his office has made it easy for private businesses . Prob violates costitutional provisions, but he did make prpoer disclosures, his only defense,,,,though week, since he was doing it.
He should not accept offer of re-naming the Kennedy Center, tho that is not inherently wrong. To me, just bad form. He needs to settle down, but difficult with that ego.....an ego which has served him well.

@Mott-The-Hoople saidI honestly HATE your ugly orange ass, caused by the Trump cancer.
You will be hard pressed to find an honest liberal
@AverageJoe1 saidIf you truly believe in the mantra that a rising tide raises all boats, then Trump's reliance on reducing corporate taxes and taxes on the wealthy in general, can be seen as a good thing. Though the evidence to support that general conservative economic claim is simply not there.
Oh, and I don't like the way he violated his oath to protect us, by bringing millions of aliens into our country, and all of the hell that it brought here.
Oops, that was not Trump
The theory says that if you tax less, then there is more money available to be injected into the economy, growing the size of the economy and raising more wealth in the process which should trickle down to every individual, eventually.
To be fair to Trump, this is a widely held view in conservative circles and he is loved by the right for enacting these tax reduction policies. What he has also done though is reduce the overall income collected by government leading to deficit growth which leads to interest payments on the national debt being greater than America's military spend. The problem with a tax reduction policy is that if it is wrong and harms the nation's ability to run its social programs, it is very hard for any subsequent candidate to argue for a return to a higher tax rate. It is political suicide to argue for raising taxes. But the increase in deficit spending is baked into this program of taxing less.
Trump truly endeared himself to the American people when in debate with Hilary Clinton and asked about his tax avoidance, he claimed he was simply following the rules that allowed him to do so, and his kicker was that Hilary and co were not going to do anything about changing those rules because her backers also benefited by those same rules. He definitely won that debate, but just because he won the debate did not change a fundamental truth, that the wealthy are using the tax code to enrich themselves at the expense of the people.
If Trump truly wanted to drain the swamp he would have backed true tax reform and campaign financing reform so that it does not make candidates beholden to billionaire special interests.
So yeah I don't really have much in terms of positive things to say about Trump. Making political capital about not knowing or wanting to know the truth about anything is his greatest fault. Being confidently wrong about so much, so often, is definitely a problem. You don't have to burn books when you make reading or having a considered opinion the problem. He wears being anti-intellectual as a badge of honor. You can't make America great again by first making America dumb.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidIf that's your honest opinion then I am done with you.
Trump is erring by not enforcing the insurrection act. Your turn
