Which best describes your stance?

1. Strong, loyal Trump supporter - He's a good man and a good president.

2. Lukewarm Trump supporter - Some things bother me, but overall I like his policies.

3. Staunch, fervent Trump critic - He's an awful man and an awful president.

4. Casual Trump critic - Some things do upset me about Trump, but I don't get too worked up about it.


So I'll start. I'm #3, strongly anti-Trump. The awfulness was clear to me even before the election, and it's turning out worse than I ever would have imagined.

How about you?

.
#1. Have been there from the start.

I can see how you might be confused but # 1 didn't have any room for criticism and #4 did. So its a more complete answer.
Very detailed compared to #1.

Excuse me, but did you note that I specifically requested that you NOT post insults, and that you try to refrain from multiple posts?
You don't get to dictate what others post or how often they post. I find it hilarious that you would demaned "no insults" while almost every one of your threads is filled with insults. I don't agree with what that poster said, but unless a moderator says he/she can't do it, then he/she can, despite how you think this forum should be run.

As for my choice, I'm between 1 and 2.

The interesting thing is that those two do not definitively corrolate.

I'm not "dictating" - I'm making a plea for civil, adult behavior, with a wish to stay on-topic, because this thread hopes to elicit people on both sides, without their feeling set-upon.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. Any of the four can include criticism, but 1 & 2 are basically pro-Trump, and 3 & 4 are basically anti-Trump.

How about you?

Negatives-
He got involved in other nations civil wars when he said he wouldn't.
He okayed increased spending when he said he wouldn't

Positives -
He has opened up talks with N Korea and Russia

I’m between 2 and 4. I’m definitely lukewarm, but like the effects of his overall policies. I also hate the tweeting and the rallies, but I don’t get too worked up about it.
