I think Trump is a narcissistic jackass with no filter, I do not think he is racist or homophobic. The man is a true equal opportunity jerk, anyone and everyone is equally likely to be the target of his vile attacks.
Filter

No filter

Is this an illustration of the difference or did someone commandeer your computer after you finished the first paragraph?

What you say Limbaugh said and what the article says Limbaugh said are two different things.

Couldn't agree with you more, and I'm a "liberal" who does not like Trump.

Agree for the most part. However, narcissistic, equal opportunity jerks can be excellent leaders and Presidents which Trump has shown to be in standing up to abusive Trade "partners" which previous Presidents never had the b*lls to address. In addition to the Economic, ENERGY, and Border policy which is working extremely well. He is a good leader and executive.


Yes he is a bit of a bull in a china shop. So what? He gets things done and succeeds. He has defined, measured accomplishments and a three and a half year track record of success.

If I had to choose between someone with an abrasive personality but good policies that benefit our country and someone with a pleasant personality but poor policies that harm our country, I would go with the first every time and twice on Sunday. And I have.

I've never seen Trump being accused of being homophobic. I've seen criticism of his support of politicians who are homophobic (Pence)....but that's not saying Trump is homophobic -- just a man of no integrity.

The thing is, Trump is pleasant to people who merit pleasantry. He is brutally critical of people who have, in most cases, had it coming for years but no one else ever had the courage to stand up to them.

Other than the lost-cause TDS cases among the far left, I don't for a moment understand where the anti-Trump hate comes from. Nor do I understand why even so many of his supporters feel the need to acknowledge, as though it were a weakness, his refusal to live by the draconian code of the PC police. That characteristic is, in fact, one of his greatest strengths and is the single biggest single factor behind his effectiveness AND his popularity as is so evident at his rallies.

Trump is tough on America's enemies, foreign and domestic. His style is a breath of fresh air we thought we'd never see....and is essential to his success and the successful savior of what was 5 years ago a ship going down by the bow.

Falsey accusing Pence of being a homophobe is more evidence you are ultra leftwing.

They have to try anything they can to demonize Trump and Pence. They have nothing else but stuff like they are racist, sexist and homophobes. Neither of them are that at all.

MEH -- I know folks that voted for Trump that have said Pence is homophobic.

The recent visit to the church that attacks LGBTQ community is further evidence....lol.
