I'll second this. The bloke shouldn't be able to hold office. Sorry to hijack another poster's earlier post, but it's definitely worth repeating....in fact, it should be made compulsory to read! https://medium.com/@shanesnow/donald-trump-and-the-definition-of-insanity-82ab6db008c4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

LOL, so Trump claims... but when push comes to shove, as usual, Trump's got nothing: https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/497217-trump-wont-name-crime-hes-accusing-obama-of-committing  It's going nowhere, just another distraction from Trumps abysmal handling of Covid after the "china virus" failed.  Regardless.... Obama has no worries, even if he did comit a crime...  ...Trumps' Department of Justice doesn't prosecute criminals anymore!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

You haven't realised that I'm not defending Trump. To be honest, I don't really like him. I definitely wouldn't vote for him (if I could have a vote). I just despise silly, irrational arguments and claims that are spread around him just because you don't like him and he hurts your feelings. Fight him with facts and brain. Should be easy, right? So why are you not capable of doing so? Edited May 13, 2020 by Branyy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

So why are you not capable of doing so? Fight him with facts.? He is the POTUS and as you may have witnessed,he does not engage in any rational debate. He can just shout fake news,refuse to take questions and call names. If he was your child behaving like that ,you would have to be embarrassed. He will continue to Twitter away because he does not have to debate or justify his random utterances to anybody with this medium.

So why are you not capable of doing so? It's quite plainly a fact that his administration is corrupt, deeply inept and driven by the love of money above all else. It's a fact that he's a deeply ignorant and barely articulate man who doesn't read books - and struggles to read anything longer than a tweet. It's a fact that he's a six time bankrupt. It's my opinion - and millions share it - that he's racist, misogynistic, deeply damaging, and dangerous to America and the rest of the world.

Annie Bynnol   615 #4076 Posted May 14, 2020 Making a claim that millions of Americans of millions who oppose his views and politics do so because they don't like him is ridiculous. He distortion, denial and manipulation of "facts" are so widespread that is so widespread that he happily denies the accuracy of sworn statements by public servants like ambassadors, judges, law enforcers and investigators. People he chose and then dismissed. Government appointed heads of departments and investigations.  Imagine being a stenographer and being asked to read back his rambing replies?   Who is the master of"... silly, irrational arguments..." that you so rationally"... despise..."? Contrary to your view your view that "opponents make claims that are spread around him just because (they) don't like him and he hurts (their) feelings."  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
