Go ahead and refute my own personal experience regarding these matters and believe, without any knowledge or evidence (unless you want to produce it) that Trump's sister does indeed know her brother. 100% certain. LOL On what basis? If, in fact, she had shared a home with Trump for many years, your point would just just be silly. But since they grew up apart...oh wait a minute.

Rancid Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Cruel with no principles? Can see why he went into politics. The only difference I see is that Trump entered politics very rich, rather than just suspiciously getting that way while in office... The one I really like is the $talking$ circuit where former presidents get paid a fortune from bankers and large companies for speeches no one is interested in. At least in Asia they are straight forward about their corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what other President wealthy before he got into office refused to put his holdings in a blind trust? Who actually profited from being guarded by the Secret Service? Who pushed for his own resort to play host to the G7? Edited August 24, 2020 by rcummings 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her, IMO, vile niece secretly recorded her to get dirt for her book. I'd like to be in the room when those two meet up. Nevertheless, another one off the Christmas card list. So you see vileness in his niece, but not in Trump himself? Interesting. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvaviator Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Or very simply they do not care what he does .. as long as it serves them to have him as president? Or maybe they are just like him? .. Or admire what he does and what he stands for? Even if they do not believe everything that is said about him .. lets say 20% is incorrect .... The 80% you are left with - take just the 20000 lies ... So are 16000 lies is maybe OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Morch Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 8 hours ago, alien365 said: Every day it's something new thrown at this guy. Anyone else would have had a mental breakdown from the hatred and victimisation he's had to put up with during his presidency. Every day Trump slings mud, bile and hatred. Ignoring the fact that many of the criticism and negativity he gets are in response to his own actions and words, that's a choice. Many Trump supporters seem to imagine it's a one-way street. It is not. As for having a mental breakdown, not sure if he Tweeter tantrums qualify, or whether the numerous instances in which he turns interviews, statements, speeches and whatnot into either attacks on rivals, rants or plain whining sessions will do. Trump is, maybe, a victim of his own ego. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post honu Posted August 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2020 Trump's own family saying that he's a complete scumbag who shouldn't be trusted means nothing, because 50% of the country already knows that, and 40% don't care, and 10% are probably off in space. That second set probably believes it on one level too, but is somehow deluded into thinking something like "a dirty job requires an unscrupulous person," or some such BS. Trump never should have been elected. America more or less deserves him as a president if 40% of the country firmly backs him, even if 50% hate him. That many people with that bad judgment and reasoning tells me that the whole country is all but not worth saving. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
