I 100% agree. How can you possibly support your country and Trump at the same time when Trump is opposed to renaming military bases named for traitorous generals from the Confederacy? There are lots of patriotic military heroes since the Civil War those bases could be renamed after.

And Trump doesn't even come from the South!

Right, somehow Trump is uniquely unpatriotic for not renaming army bases that no other President in history had ever even contemplated renaming. What a uniquely traitorous villain. In fact I think it's so anti-American he should be impeached over it, what do you say?

My God, you are so quite so profoundly WRONG for thinking you can rightfully support Trump and your country at the same time. Please, please wise up and change your mind. If only Trump would support renaming military bases named after traitorous Confederate generals, maybe I could support you. But Trump is quite strongly opposed to doing that.

Impeachment was already tried and failed. It's now up to patriotic Americans to vote Trump the hell out of office in November.

Yeah, a liberal/communist rag, spewing what a liberal/communist city wants to hear.

I'll skip reading that trash, and dismiss it out of hand.

I support Trump, because I support my country.

And you probably don't consider InfoWars as trash.

Here are the issues brought forth in the article...
  • Russian paying bounty to Afghanistan
  • White power tweet
  • Needs two hands to drink water
  • He said COVID under control
  • Joking about injesting household cleaners
  • He fired a prosecutor
  • He met w/ Diamond and Silk

Here's what not mentioned (Bolded are responses from Threerun)
  • Record low unemployment before the China virus hit- Already low until he goosed the economy with a 1T spending bill and tax cut.
  • Controlling the border- By separating children from families and locking people in cages
  • Closing down the endless wars- still there and apparently Russia has a bounty on US Service members heads and Trump ignored it
  • Brought manufacturing back to the US when no one thought it could be done- NOPE. They went DOWN
  • Forced NATO members to pay their fair share- Did they pay? You may want to look that one up
  • Prison reforms that gives many black Americans a second chance- Thanks Ivanka and Kim Kardashian?
  • Reforming the courtrooms- No argument there. Got some real right wingers in there now.
  • Wants America to be great- No HE wants to be great. He could care a less about the country. He's in it for himself.
  • Record economy- Okay you're delusional. Check the current state of affairs. Record unemployment, record National debt... I 'guess' you could call it a 'record economy
  • Opportunity zones helping inner cities- Prove it. It has yet to do a damned thing

What do you think is more likely to improve the lives of Americans?
Getting him out of office.

But if only he re-names those dastardly-named military bases, then even patriotic Americans can vote for him, right?

The 'not my President' routine is a sad crybaby act.

Please don't respond within the quote as it makes it more difficult to answer... and technically it's against the rules.

I could go through through the list and discuss - but the truth is you are anti-Trump regardless of what he does.

Here are some quick hits.

Unemployment low - people were doing waitressing, cleaning, and other service work. Jobs are better now.

Obama separated children from families and put them in cages. But now children remain with their families... in their own country.

Russia bounties - not surprising that they would pay. Heck, the rioters here are getting paid to do what they do too. Questionable that it got to the president. But you hate him - so he's guilty.

I posted a couple of weeks ago about the NATO leader pleased that countries were footing their portion of the fund. Their money is up.

You give him no credit for prison reform. That's your problem, not his.

Yes - he wants to be great AND he wants America to be great. Both of those things can coexist. And if American benefit, why is that not a good thing? Because you don't like him?

Debt is the fault of president and Congress and everyone who put them in place. That's a total system failure that will ruin us at some point if not dealt with.

Opportunity Zones have been increasing income in some areas. Sorry CNN/MSNBC didn't let you know. Here's a table outlining the areas by state where incomes are increasing.
