Two questions for those that support Trump:

1. What has he done for you that you continue to support him so much?

2. Putting aside political affiliations, what do you like so much about him as a person?

I understand that most Presidents have some faults and some not so likable qualities, but I fail to see anything positive about this man. And if you're going to list something like Law & order at least back it up.

I'll be up front with you on this. I do not like this man one bit. I feel that he is a two bit, lying con man with no empathy for anyone. It's all about how is this going to benefit me and my buddies. He hasn't done a damn thing for anyone. The stock market is being propped up by the Fed, the "law & order" is no where to be seen, the wall is being built and paid for by us and not Mexico, his handling of Covid is a joke and the list goes on. The reason I'm asking the above is that i see so many people love him and act like he is the greatest President to ever step foot in the White House and I just don't get it. I'm not on here to bash your political beliefs, but rather to try to understand what you see in this President.

there haven't been enough "Why do you support Trump?" topics for you to read?

He hates all the right people.

Or maybe I should say, he likes and enables all of the right "very fine people" and so all those "very fine people" support him in return. That's pretty much it in a nutshell.

I'm assuming by "very fine people" it's based on the color of your skin. If that's the case I'm part of that group and what he says and does disgusts me. So basically because he's a racist you like him?

Funny how all the posters who start threads that begin with "help me understand something" .....


Aren't really interested in understanding anything.

1) Stance on illegal immigration. I don't care who pays for the wall.
2) Stance on globalization. It's killing the American worker.
3) NAFTA. It helped kill American manufacturing jobs and the Mexican peasant farmer while enriching corporations and politicians. The minumum wage requirements for Mexican workers in auto manufacturing (USMCA) was one of Trump's single greatest accomplishments during his 1st termn in office. Obama said it couldn't be done.
4) Lower taxes along with a slightly more simplified tax system. Needs to be a hell of a lot simpler.
5) He is anti-establishment. Something I've waited for since GW Bush took office.
6) No pretense with Trump. Establishment politicians spend their entire existence creating a public personna that does not withstand scrutiny - not they are ever subjected to it by the media.
7) Not even going to touch on the riots.

That is my 3 minute list. Take it or leave it. Not going to argue with anyone about it.

1. Everything except for signing the awful budget and blowing up our deficit.

2. I am not selecting a husband. I couldn’t care less.

3. Your entire last paragraph contains nothing but lies:
A. The stock market isn’t propped up by the Fed. You think billions of investors are fools if true?
B. We have a federal government not a dictatorship. Read up federalism and the constitution before you make yourself a fool again. The law and order is maintained by the local and state governments according to our federal system. The federal government can only intervene upon request. Every single democrat turned down Trump’s offer to quell the unrest.
C. Nobody except for fools believed the wall would be built by Mexico.
D. Once again, in our federal system, healthcare is the responsibility of the local and state governments. By the way, the local and state governments have got everything and more than what they requested from Trump. They sent on multiple thank you letters.

1st step act, empowerment zones, criminal justice reform, fully funding HBCU's for 10 yrs...none of which Obama did.

No, I truly am. I'm not here to argue with anyone, but I have yet to speak to anyone that can provide a coherent argument as to why they support him. The most coherent happens to be the one posted above. If your support is based on the fact that he is a racist then by all means support him. I don't agree with it, but at least you're upfront about it. My issue is if someone says because he truly cares about the middle class I call BS on it unless you can show me how he helped the middle class.
