*'Murica

Criticizing President Trump and the administration's supposed lack of achievement after ~5 days, based on a precise literal interpretation of every single word of every single campaign promise, is just thinly veiled dogmatism. It's transparent and silly. Repeating that I have "nothing" is projection. I have a large pile of executive orders that set the tone for the Trump administration. Some of those (like ending birthright citizenship) are destined for SCOTUS, but just putting that on the table is a YUGE win which demonstrates the America First mentality I voted for. Same for the deportations that have already begun, the talk of an External Revenue Service, aligning US policy so that it favors our actual friends, etc. From my perspective we're winning already -- bigly. Some of those issues and wins are emotional in nature, some practical. I'm good with that. I really don't care at the moment what (for example) rounding up illegals and deporting them does to the economy. The economy is already so bloated and distorted that it's completely impossible to foresee the impact on various Trump policies on it; clinging to "Orange Man Bad!" because of some supposed impact that cannot be foreseen requires Kreskin-level soothsaying that none of us possess. I am exuberant that the US electorate chased the commie deconstructionists out of federal power. This is a unique and awesome moment in American history. You and others may not like it; this may be out of hatred for Trump/MAGA, it may be because supposedly genius-level armchair statesmen predictions aren't being recognized, or who knows what other reasons. Too bad!

The presidential candidate I voted for and wanted to see elected is now in office, and has started to fulfill his campaign promises. While it's true Rome wasn't built in a day -- there's a lot more work to be done! -- even after just a few days I've got a lot more than "nothing". On the other hand, people who continue to invest their energies into hating President Trump really do have "nothing". For at least the next 2 years (until the midterms), Trump's opposition is out of power, and rather definitively at that.

I didn't claim you were hiding your seething hatred towards President Trump. I claimed your original statement in this topic was disingenuous. Let's recap: In this topic, you made a statement about Trump's trustworthiness, thinly veiled as proposing an action item for his supporters (to keep track of his promises and compare later). I saw through your disingenuousness, and ever since then you've been attempting -- via deflection and gaslighting -- to pretend your statement wasn't actually a swipe at President Trump. But the actual result has been to shed even more light on the disingenuousness of your original statement, due to your ever less veiled swipes at President Trump providing ample context about your motivations. Apparently not, because you keep extending said conversation.

Pace yourself in the outrage race; you people are going to have a very long 4 years.

President Trump has fortunately already paused foreign aid, so no more money flowing to the grifters in Ukraine. The damage the leftist cabal did to the USA is incalculable, and will take a lot of time to repair. President Trump will get around to the war itself eventually, after some higher priority domestic issues.

Right! Thanks for proving my point that you hate Trump. The motivation for your disingenuous "that wasn't an anti-Trump statement, it was an invitation to action!" claims is now laid fully bare. Now THAT's some grade-A gaslighting you're attempting there!

Despite the inane protestations of leftists everywhere, Trump is not a dictator; he works within a larger system. So we'll win some bigly, but also lose some. That's a reasonable standard, and survives disingenuousness on the part of those who make anti-Trump statements and then pretend they didn't. That said, we're only on day... what, three? And the winning is already YUGE! No deflection or gaslighting required. America is already Great(er) Again than it was 3 days ago!

Don't be mad. The four years will be over in... well, four years, actually, so maybe you have cause to be just a wee bit mad 🤔. But, the disingenuousness and overall negative energy expended to prop up the anti-Trump tropes is corrosive. You do you though! I do agree with President Trump's positions and actions, no "maybe" about it, so no need to pretend I am being coy about it. Fire away with the tropes! After all, the strategy of divisiveness, if-your-not-with-us-youre-scum, etc. worked so well for ya this recent election cycle. Thank you for helping to elect our savior President Trump! If you keep it up, you might also help elect whatever awesome patriot the (R)s put up in 2028 (like Vance maybe?). Awesome! 🌈🦄

Hmm. It actually makes perfect sense, but you need to be capable of sensing nuance. Your statement is actually a thinly veiled trope about how Trump can't be trusted to keep his promises. The part suggesting an action item for us was simply a diversion so you could attempt to play victim when someone inevitably called you out on your disingenuousness. It's perfectly reasonable to posit leftists as an opposite of Trump. Surely even an "ex-republican" knows that? Capische? (Sorry, drifted from simple English there, but I hope you can still understand.)

Very well stated.

I think you are confused: performative virtue signaling is a thing the left has perfected -- where actual results don't matter as long as the politically correct outward appearances have been appeased.

Now that their narrative has been rendered toothless and irrelevant, I expect the desperate anger to ramp up. Let us remember the five stages: Denial Anger <--- I think most Trump haters are currently at this stage Bargaining Depression Acceptance

Lots of people are truly desperate to keep their tired narratives going. OP is grasping at straws -- at best. Come up with some real evidence that Trump or Elon is "an actual nazi" or whatever the debunked leftist tropes say. Then and only then will people like OP have an intellectually reasonable argument.

This is a profound statement. It confirms that wealth redistribution is now official government policy, and thus that Thailand is now on the globalist socialist path. Some will think this is a positive development, some will think it's a negative one. But it is significant regardless.
