I have no problem with Trump supporters in general. If you prefer his policies specifically over his competition, no problem there.

Voting for Trump isn’t always about a wall, a Supposive “free of corruption” etc.

However, the ones who excuse his Epstein connections while pointing at the Clintons. The ones who pretend his business is free corruptions, etc. Those are the brainwashed ones that are particularly cringe.

Most of those in DC have been there for over a decade and the metamorphosis that the DC environment brings is unarguable.

So, I at least have a tangible fact based argument.
Why would a non politician want to engage in the rough and tumble business of politics?

Their life is more difficult than anything I could ever imagine. I don't wanna do anything that might make somebody's life more difficult than it already is, when they have done nothing to effect my life in any kind of way. It just don't seem like that would be the right thing to do. I can feel it in my gut. I'd be worried God would get me for that move. I ain't gonna do that. You can build that wall but the only way I will pay for it will be thru my taxes.

You drank the kool aid BobTex. Congratulations.

Reading his speech in context, its so full of lies and BS its comical. Yeah, the media is biased to the right and left, the politicians are crooked on the right and the left, but to think Trump was the solution was ridiculous. Hes every bit as crooked as the Clintons.

If you want to quote Donald Trump, I prefer this gem:

"Actually, throughout my life. my two greatest assets have been my mental stability and being, like, really smart."

Experienced politicians know how to successfully navigate the legislative process. Trump did not and does not have a clue. Outside of grifting and throwing his considerable weight around, he was the most incurious president of my lifetime.

To Cigarroa’s horror, the riverfront is also one of many locations the Trump administration has spent much of the last year trying to seize for the construction of a 30-foot-tall steel border wall. With a 150-foot security zone and two service roads, the imposing barrier would entirely seal off the Cigarroa family land—not to mention much of the wildlife in the area—from the river. Despite more than a year of pressure from federal officials in the form of phone calls, emails, and court filings, Cigarroa and her husband have refused to sign legal documents that would allow the government “right of entry” to survey the property, a crucial first step in the eminent domain process. Like many landowners fighting to maintain control of their land in South Texas, her family’s plan was to hang on until November, when she hoped a Biden victory would deflate efforts to construct the border wall and prompt government lawyers to drop their lawsuit seeking access to the family’s property. But in recent weeks, she and other landowners in Webb County and neighboring Zapata say, the opposite has happened.

“The government is trying to stuff as much of the wall onto our land as possible in the final two months that they can—and it won’t even be a complete wall!” said Cigarroa. “These are ordinary small landowners they’re targeting. It’s just so destructive and craven.”
Read this:
atop a bluff that affords expansive views of the landscape in every direction, including across the Rio Grande into Mexico.

The most impressive view, Melissa Cigarroa tells me during a recent visit, may be the one directly below, where the slow-moving river winds through a fertile-looking floodplain several football fields wide and covered in bright-green honey mesquite trees, wildflowers, and tall grasses. For years now, this lush stretch of borderland on the edge of the family’s 173-acre property has been the site of numerous family fishing trips, barbecues, and birthday parties for Cigarroa, her husband, their five kids, and their extended families.

Cigarroa says the land ties them to the shared cultural heritage of Mexicans and Mexican Americans on both sides of the border. “We come out here to escape, but this is also a place that connects our family and grounds us in our history,” she said. “This is home.”

Sorry dear pick a country. Are you a mexican or are you an american. Its obvious they dont want a border at all.
