Default Got from another web site---the writer said we could share it.

Sorry. No, you don't get to claim the moral high ground here.

Yes, we acknowledge that his rough-around-the-edges demeanor and his in-your-face antics are not very statesmanly. But that's what you get when you have go outside the swamp to find someone to actually get things done; someone who isn't a career politician, polished & practiced at telling you what you want to hear but doing what they want for their own interests. We actually like that we know what we're getting and that we see what's getting done to benefit the country. You should too.

We agree that he shouldn't Tweet so much, but you have to admit he has mastered social media to bypass the institutional media filtering and he controls his own narrative.

After 18 months, you still spend lots of your time attacking everything he does to try to make yourselves seem morally superior because your leftist policies are proven to not work.

But remember you're the ones who gave the country no other choice. You cheered and mocked the prospect of a candidate like the bombastic TV reality host because in all your wisdom and understanding you knew he could never beat the candidate who told you everything you wanted to be told, in the tones and the words you wanted to hear.

You gleefully went along with the Hollywood elites, academic elites, and media elites who attempted to install a candidate who was so corrupt, so deceitful, and so dishonest that she shamelessly took tens of millions of dollars in “donations” from foreign regimes while serving as Secretary of State, and she publicly joked about wiping her server hard drive: "What, with like with a cloth or something?"
You did not scrutinize her like you scrutinize everything he does and you did not post on your social media the videos demonstrating her lies for 13 straight minutes or any of her other failings. You also didn’t declare your sense of moral outrage when she wasn’t prosecuted for crimes she clearly committed and you weren’t bothered by the proven fact that she destroyed evidence.

Instead, you defended her and you said things like it’s her turn, or it’s a woman’s turn, fully knowing that you were using the gender card to try to ramrod a loathsome candidate into office despite her crooked ways. You actually voted for her, knowing everything about her.
In fact, you would still prefer if she were in office today. That’s why you need to make him out to be a whole lot worse than he is.

You distort his anti-illegal-immigration policies and make him out to be a “racist” so that you can feel better about voting for a career politician who was as corrupt as they come. You exaggerate border detainee policies under his administration that you were fine with under the previous administration so that you can justify supporting a dishonest power-hungry bureaucrat who lied to your face about the cause of the horrors in Benghazi, made more millions off the tragedies in Haiti, and attempted to destroy the women who dared accuse her husband of sexual abuse.

You still would actually prefer that the woman who stole from the White House on her way out and accomplished nothing of substance while reaping the benefits of terms as a US Senator and Secretary of State won the election. You wish that she won rather than the man who has passed a tax reform bill providing $5.5 billion in cuts and repealing the Obamacare mandate; increased the GDP above 3 percent; created1.7 million new jobs and cut unemployment to 4.1 percent; cut job-stifling regulations, saving $8.1 billion; withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, ending the threat of environmental regulations; and saw the Dow Jones reach record highs, with a rebound in economic confidence to a 17-year high.
We don't claim moral superiority, we claim that he's getting things done. And you would still vote for her because you find his behavior “despicable.”

Your hatred of the one does not erase the actions or the character of the other. You not only voted for her then but you would do it again today.

No, you cannot claim moral superiority. You are responsible for giving the nation no better choice than Trump. Even with his missteps as he’s learning on-the-job during his first term, and even with his sometimes caustic ways (likely learned through years of being a successful businessman and billionaire) we would pick Trump again.

You, on the other hand, can’t even accept that he is successful. You keep trotting out a few bankruptcies among his hundreds of successful companies, clearly showing your business ignorance. You blindly call him a Nazi or a Fascist without even a shred of support, demonstrating that you have no understanding of politics or governance theories. And you are hoping fervently for his demise.

Think about that for a while; you are hoping for the impeachment and conviction of the President of the United States because you don’t like him, how he acts, or because he offends your sensibilities.
Have you stopped to consider how that would affect the economy, the working-class, or the poor you claim to defend? You care more about your feelings about our Commander-in-Chief. Putting your feelings over the well-being of others is decidedly not the moral high ground.

But keep it up. Maybe your leftist friends will admire you for your uninformed, biased, hateful rhetoric.
We don't.

Lol...

And how he had a star in first place..? He was never some accomplished, popular and talented celeb. (He likely paid to get one).

Busy day as Trump went to Iowa to lie to a bunch of steel workers.

Pushing how his tariffs are a good thing.


While having to create 12 billion for farmers.


If it's such a good idea why the need for the bail out before anything happens.
