I hate Trump with a passion but I give him this. I think Democrats need to look at what Trump does but do it smarter and with more class. I think the one person currently doing that is Pete Buttegieg, but since he's gay he doesn't stand a chance. It's a shame. I think what Trump does well is he speaks to the people instead of down at them. So many politicians speak down at the people from a pedestal.

Actually what I think President Trump does well results in a two part reaction. President Trump constantly triggers the left with tweets or statements that he knows will trigger them, and the combination of the tweet or comment, along with seeing the left screeching for safe spaces as they get triggered strengthens President Trump's base.

What I don't understand is WHY you folks on the left don't recognize President Trump is intentionally doing this very same thing to you, time and time again, because it works. Every single time you react, outraged over his latest little dig at you, you feed him to do it again and again. He feeds on your reactions, and frankly so do I when he does it to you.

It really is hilarious to watch your reactions to anything President Trump does to tweak you... and regardless if you think what he does is childish and not Presidential, it works and he knows it.


Wow... I think it's snowing outside...
because I see snowflakes everywhere!


But then again, that's just MY opinion, for what it's worth.

If they voted knowing basic math...that we were already spending out of debt and deficit...and therefore wanted those "tax cuts" from our children and grandchildrens paychecks, well...what would you call that.

Selfish......

Greed.....

or Deplorable?

All of them fit. They may not be racists. But they certainly don't believe in having a government where they pay for what they use.

Quick calcs...Joe and Jane Deplorable have two kids in school = 25K per year.
The 4 of them cost us all the national average in health care costs = 40K per year.
They Security State always needs money - family of four = 12K per year

So we are at 78K per year before we plow the roads, pick up their trash, do R&D, do public health and much more.

If Joe and Jane vote so that they pay only 40K total in Fed and state taxes and the rest is debt and deficit, that's not "smart voting'. That's a path to bankruptcy.

Deplorable, but not "KKK Deplorable" unless they spend their time accusing others of taking gubment Socialism. THEN, they are definitely deplorable...or, better yet, acting deplorably. There is always hope. People are not born as deplorable....they talk themselves into it because they think they are better or smarter than others.

Trump lost the popular vote by over three million and his awfulness is prompting many states to abandon the electoral college. Yeah real well loved guy

Trump is even legally banned from having a Presidential library due to the illegal and corrupt goings on at his foundation...ROFLMA
