Thank you for your classic Trump-lover response.

You can't produce a single reason to vote for the guy other than "I hate liberals and their lousy facts. I hope Trump hurts them all."

The funny part - I'm not even a liberal. I actually don't like either party much at all, and the past 16 years I've voted Republican, Democrat, and 3rd party, sometimes on the same ballot for difference offices.

If you want to argue that Hillary was a terrible choice, I'll gladly stand behind you. And if the Republicans had run a GOOD candidate, I'd have voted for him, as much as I despise modern Republicanism (with its bigotry and ignorance), since such a person would have been better than Hillary.

Instead, the mob elects a complete thug in Trump - a clueless, hate-filled, egotistical lunatic... and then tries to back up their choice with, "uh, well... at least liberals think he sucks, so he must be doing something right!"

Has it occurred to you that maybe "liberals" - and plenty of long-time Republicans - think Trump "sucks" because, you know... the facts indicate he sucks?

They wanted action. And they've got hyperactivity.
This is the person the TV industry has been building towards since the middle 1950s. Nothing on the surface and nothing underneath either.
He has no principles. Therefore he has nothing to hide.
Yep.

And look at how the right justifies him:
"Liberals hate him so he must be good."
"He's going to (somehow) make American great again (but with no specifics)!"
"I hope he hurts liberals / gays / blacks / Muslims, etc"

They can't actually point out a single GOOD thing about the guy, except that since the people they don't like hate him, he must be good. Nevermind that right-wingers don't even understand what "liberals" actually are, but they also fail to understand that the reason so many people hate Trump is because of the facts, not partisan nonsense.

Ugh... from a right-winger perspective, if that "guy up the road I hate" thinks burning the town down is a bad idea, I should do it because "at least it'll hurt him, and I hate him." And that is EXACTLY the "blow everything up!" justification that has been used to explain away voting for Trump.

The sad part is that right-wingers have no idea how bad "change" can be; they seem to forget that America has much further to fall than it has to rise when compared to the rest of the world. They live in a fantasy land where bad things are only going to happen to people they don't like... as if Trump actually cares about them, or as if they are somehow immune to politics, economics, and reality by virtue of being angry, old white people.

Too true.

At this point, Trump could pimp his daughter out right in the Oval Office, invade Australia and order our military to start randomly killing people, decree all people of color be forced into internment camps and say that Vladimir Putin's backside was made of marshmallow creme and his lemmings would just shout

"Yee-hawwww! Go Trump! 'Merica!"

This is because they are cowardly big government hypocrites.

I voted for Hillary, and I think this is just a BS dog and pony show.

Oh goodie. I suppose it won't be too long before the Don finally shows up on a porn tube site somewhere wielding his presidential power for all to see.

People watched CNN.

People believed CNN.

People were convinced by CNN Trump would lose the 2016 Election.

They were duped. LOL

Yet now they continue to believe CNN's stories about Trump as fact.

Poor People

Oh I don't know. I think the QVC presidency and Kellyanne's plug for Ivanka's clothing line is hysterical. Very classy. Trump's Twitter tirade against Nordstrom. Very mature. Alternative facts? A staple joke in our house and a constant source of laughter. The Muslim ban that really wasn't a Muslim ban that threw the airlines into chaos. Stellar. Insulting our judicial system because the Donald didn't get his way? Amazing. Just for once I'd like to see him admit that he was wrong instead of blaming everyone around him. Talk about a dynamic two week presidency. Wow just wow. Go Donald. Go Donald. Hey I'm just trying to give the supporters what they want. Blind faith and fools gold.

This will be an interesting few weeks with Mike Flynn and the Russian connection. Disturbing, but interesting.

They Got Trump Good
I knew it was fake news / click bait before I even looked at it. From the same liberals who brought us "Electors to deny Trump victory" and "Hillary has 99% chance of winning" and "Stock market to crash if Trump wins".

Name one sleazy thing Hillary did (or was accused of doing with no evidence, not that Trump-suckers care about facts) that Trump wouldn't also do if given the chance? Or do you honestly think he's going to be careful following email server rules... lol... right... that idiot can't keep himself from picking fights on Twitter, but I'm *sure* he's going to follow the rules.

If you voted for Trump, you were duped. If you voted for Trump because "Hillary is a crook," you instead voted for a bigger crook.

If you want to make the argument that both candidates were terrible, I'll give you that one. America deserves better than Hillary or Trump.
I did not say Trump is perfect. The level a Criminalism that many has documented from the early years of Bill and Hilary Clinton. The DNC has purposely placed fake candidates to run against HRC.


I voted for Trump because I want someone in DC do their Freakin Job for a change. HRC has been selling off service for years.


The reasons why the DC lost was brought upon their selves squarely!


Trump does not put up with the bs the press and its minions attack Trump. This man is a fighter and the left is not use to that! Trump is the product of what the establishment and both parties.
