I don't understand why the POTUS has to be a "nice" guy. I'd rather my leader be a little brash and rude because the world out there is brash, rude and harsh. Would you prefer to have a rude/obnoxious doctor who is excellent and properly diagnoses you, or a "nice guy" who just tells you what you want to hear even if it's not in your best interest?

That’s BS. Obama is on record telling his supporters to get in the faces of their political opponents. He regularly attacked republican politicians and very disgracefully attacked Supreme Court justices to their faces during the state of the union, among many other instances.

Trump plays everybody. He tells you what you want to hear, you foolishly give him money. Rinse and repeat. He's still at it. Not too mention scams and fake charities long the way.

I thought it was all just for show anyhow.

Once Trump started governing, I was actually quite pleasantly surprised with the actual policies. Most I agreed with. However his toxic personality defect started to wear on me. The media's nonstop bashing also eventually wore me down and rather than voting for him, I simply voted 3rd party again. I just figured he got done what needed to be done and got the SCOTUS squared away with justices who would actually follow the constitution, so it would not be a big deal for someone else to take over and just stay the course.

MAN WAS I EVER WRONG! Had I realized how much the far far far left would control the Biden administration, I would not have wasted my vote on a 3rd party candidate. I would have voted for the orange guy, defective personality and all.
What was that one move of Obama's that caused you decide to vote for a third party. What policies of theirs made you vote for them.

Apologizing to strangers on the internet is just so not done. Cluelessly trying to curry favor with people who are most likely trolls and would enjoy victimizing you if presented the opportunity. Like watching a lamb apologize to wolves for having voted pro-sheepdog all their life.

Thank you. The very last thing we ever needed or wanted was a President who is nice to Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. And Trump IS nice to those who haven't demonstrated their unworthiness of any respect.

I am so utterly fed up and out of patience with the viewpoint to which you're responding that the next time I see a post like that, likely from a bot, here is the likely result.....

The fact that Biden would be the worst president of all time, wasn’t so obvious for the left. Who only voted for Biden based off name recognition.

For the right, it was clear as day.

The saddest part for the left is he has nothing to lose, and he still can’t deliver anything for the left.

It's absolutely astonishing how someone with nearly 50 years of experience in politics can be such a disaster compared to someone that had practically no experience at all before becoming President.
