Topic is trump, not Bush. You omitted to mention trump promised to reduce the nation debt. However, exactly the opposite, he generated additional $8.4 trillion of debt for the US, hardly a good economic manager! https://www.crfb.org/blogs/how-much-did-president-trump-add-debt

Yes, MAGA, e.g. Majorie Taylor Greene with some very weird beliefs, white supremacists, isolationists, white nationalists evangelic Christian etc; the 'creme de la creme' of US society - just extraordinary

Unproven claim

trump refused to commit to support a number of allies. e.g. the Kurds who lost 10,000 people fighting ISIS. Documented 30,000 plus lies during his presidency. A recent example approx 29 lies during his recent debate with Biden; completely untrustworthy. Failed in his oath to protect the Constitution, attempted to overturn the 2020 election. Be known for years to be a fraudster e.g. trump university, during presidency attempted to dismantle government agencies, one method was to appoint people with zero applicable experience, removed numerous protections for the environment etc etc - there are plenty more.

Conjecture. However, one thing we know for sure, based on his previous efforts, trump is totally unfit to Represent the Office of the President of the USA.

You constant posts will not change anyone's POV. However, one last time... Trump has had to pay large fines for civil cases regards sexual assault. Had sex with a porn star whilst married, deeply involved with a sex trafficker, ripped of hundreds of workers, employed undocumented workers, required to settle out of court for fraud, convicted for fraud, begged for money to pay for his legal fees, whilst at the same time being a multi billionaire etc etc etc etc etc perfect candidate to represent the Office of the President of the USA....Lol!

Have you ever listened to trump's rants or read his posts. Comes across as a nutcase to me.

Joe Biden has been subjected to a number of investigations with no criminal proceedings against him as an outcome.

Disagree. trump has settled out of court on a number of occasions to minimise damage to his reputation and finances. https://time.com/6215419/trump-legal-trouble-key-strategies/

No where near to similar practices. As an example during the recent debate trump used 29 lies / disinformation, Biden 5. Additionally Biden doesn't have any civil or criminal convictions and so on. Check out AP, haven't used BBC as will generate the usual BS. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-misinformation-election-debate-trump-biden-577507522762aa10f6ee5be3a0ced2bb

Media is going on and on about Biden, nearly 24 hours a day without any medical proof. Why not trump based upon the above example?

Trump continued: “So I said, ‘Let me ask you a question,’ and [the South Carolinian] said, ‘Nobody ever asked this question,’ and it must be because of MIT, my relationship to MIT — very smart. He goes, I say, ‘What would happen if the boat sank from its weight? And you’re in the boat and you have this tremendously powerful battery and the battery is now underwater and there’s a shark that’s approximately 10 yards over there?’ By the way, a lot of shark attacks lately, do you notice that, a lot of sharks? I watched some guys justifying it today. ‘Well, they weren’t really that angry. They bit off the young lady’s leg because of the fact that they were, they were not hungry, but they misunderstood what who she was.’ These people are crazy. He said there’s no problem with sharks. ‘They just didn’t really understand a young woman swimming now.’ It really got decimated and other people do a lot of shark attacks. So I said, ‘So there’s a shark 10 yards away from the boat, 10 yards or here, do I get electrocuted if the boat is sinking? Water goes over the battery, the boat is sinking. Do I stay on top of the boat and get electrocuted, or do I jump over by the shark and not get electrocuted?’ Because I will tell you, he didn’t know the answer. He said, ‘You know, nobody’s ever asked me that question.’ I said, ‘I think it’s a good question.’ I think there’s a lot of electric current coming through that water. But you know what I’d do if there was a shark or you get electrocuted? I’ll take electrocution every single time. I’m not getting near the shark. So we’re going to end that.” I ask you: Is this the speech of a rational human being? Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? | Opinion (msn.com)

All your posts fit perfectly to the MAGA drum beat. Hopefully one day you and others will transition from Darkness to Light. Until then no point to respond to you further.

Guardian has a leaning to left wing politics with opinions in the context of the UK, but news reporting is factual, for which the Guardian has won a number of awards. Note the Guardian is not funded by some billionaire with an agenda e.g. Fox. https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/awards

Nonsense There are a number of current day definitions of 'far right' e.g. Far-right politics, or right-wing extremism, is a spectrum of political thought that tends to be radically conservative, ultra-nationalist, and authoritarian, often also including nativist tendencies.[1] The name derives from the left–right political spectrum, with the "far right" considered further from center than the standard political right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Far-right_politics

Not based upon the author, but proven over the course of time with his thousands of law suits, e.g. trump university etc etc etc I will not respond further to you and some others in this topic as you're obviously die hard MAGAs who only echo trump's lies and misinformation.

I have a suspicion you didn't read the link as it clarifies he lost revenue due to his own actions. What you failed to mention the millions he has scammed from his base begging for money to cover his legal costs, even though he is a multi billionaire - remember he original claimed he would cover his own costs for presidency which, as usual, was an outright lie, a lie covered in detail by the media.

Mods: Please remind member it is a forum requirement to provide credible linked sources for claims.

Nationalism is a source of evil. Additionally, you do know Le Pen is supported by Putin, also Putin previously funded her party? https://www.lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/07/04/french-elections-putin-s-russia-backs-far-right-rassemblement-national_6676681_4.html

You're deflecting, the topic is Trump and the Republicans.

Go ahead, though I am unaware of any proven corruption / criminal acts against Joe Biden, as is the case with trump. Additionally, let's not forget trump has also settled Out Of Court on a number of occasions. Plus numerous trump associates being convicted of various offences, which to my mind questions trump's judgement of ethics and character. I suggest overall Republicans are more corrupt than the Democrats in today's political environment with the continuing BS regards 2020, gerrymandering etc, etc, etc

The author is credible with a distinguished career, including two best selling books. The member I responded too only posted an opinion with zero backup. JOE CONASON is an American journalist and commentator. He is editor-in-chief of The National Memo, a daily political newsletter, and a senior fellow at Type Media Center. His articles have appeared in many publications around the world, including The New Republic, The Nation, The Guardian, Salon, and The American Prospect. He was executive editor of The New York Observer and a staff writer at The Village Voice. Two of his previous books, The Hunting of the President and Big Lies, were New York Times bestsellers.

As I said provide credible links for any claim.

Excellent news!

‘ “Trump is the apotheosis of this moral degeneration of conservatism because he’s out there stealing with both hands and it’s right in your face.” So said Joe Conason, veteran reporter and author of a lacerating new book, The Longest Con: How Grifters, Swindlers, and Frauds Hijacked American Conservatism. ‘Stealing with both hands’: veteran reporter Joe Conason details the right wing’s graft (msn.com) PS: If you wish to respond and try to refute, note forum rules require a credible link to back up your claims.
