My life was much better under the Trump administration than the current regime. Retirement savings have been cut in half.

Funny, my retirements savings have grown as well as my Stocks.  The interest rates now given have not been seen in a very very long time. Just locked in another CD at 4.2%.

So who voted Democrats in mid terms? Do they like 8% inflation and less money?

Trump has only ever given one speech. The same one over and over again.

Fiction section.

Are you are suggesting that Bob Woodward, of Watergate fame and one of the most trusted journalists in US is lying?

 

Perhaps you please supply a factual link to support your post.

 

Or are you just trolling?

Exactly how did that happen, or are you blaming the current government for your own choices?

My retirement savings are the same as they were two years ago.

We aren't trying to get 70 million people to vote for us.

It's also a pity humility cannot be bottled for those who cannot accept when they are wrong.

Cuts both ways. How many people in their 70's have you ever met that are genuinely senile?

Co-incidental, comes to mind. Most of the world's lives and investments would have been better between 2016 and 2019 before COVID, supply change issues and Putin's war. Nothing to do with Trump!

 

Don't tell them the truth...it gives them a headache. ...

 

much easier to just blame biden for everything, ignore the fact that the entire world has gone through a horrendous shutdown from covid (remember it was a hoax anyway) and a new war in ukraine (thanks to trumps buddy Putin) has disrupted the entire economy...

He forgot Hugo Chavez, lol!

Anyway, the usual Trump m.o. : " people say...", " I've been told.." etc....

At least he can speak for more than 3 minutes without embarrassing the country and knows how many states there are ????

Inflation is the world over, yet the US interest rates because of the Feds increases are also rising. Moving stocks when the markets were looking like it would take hits and then with the energy issues was a win win for many. My oil stocks and energy stocks are up 20% or more in the last year....

He said many people thought China played an active role in the 2020 election. 

He says a lot of things, seldom is any of it the truth.

 

But here he is making an unsubstantiated claim which will swiftly become an article of faith amongst his supporters.

 

It doesn’t have to be true, only needs to be something Trump said, locked it to be breathlessly defended.

[herfiehandbag]

He has, reputedly, accumulated a massive war chest ( I trust that is not a euphemism!); now that he is declared to run, and will no doubt claim that all of the several investigations and likely prosecutions are political witch-hunts, he will feel free to use that war chest to fund his lawyers.

 

That of course may be illegal use of campaign funds, but hey - that would also qualify as political witch-hunts.

 

There's also the little matter of the agreement (he signed) to make his Florida palace little more than his holiday cottage. Now it seems to be his political HQ no doubt any attempt to enforce that little matter will become a "political witch-hunt"; "Ron de Sanctimonious" take note!

He even start with the same old speech as he did previous. "Ï am running because I believe the world has not yet seen the truth and glory of what this nation can be". Then he rant about his usual boasts, insults, promises, grievances, threats and conspiracy including a no evidence insinuation that China interfered in the 2020 election. Never mind, you will still drool on him whenever he speak.

It’s the betraying the country bit that matters.

So Trump is 100% correct with his statements and he isn't corrupt, and it's all a political hack job being done on him...wow, drank the kool-aid you did.

[Fat is a type of crazy]

Is this thing about him not being able to be prosecuted if he is a nominee really a thing? Only in certain contexts? Not at all? Wonder if it makes a big difference or not.

Trump can't win the presidency with such speeches but he can win the nomination as all he needs for that is 25 to 30 percent of Republican voters. His movement which admits is a movement is a classic political cult of personality. To his cult members it matters little what he says. What matters is that it is him Dear Leader I alone can fix it who says it. But his problem is that his obnoxious inflammatory act has grown very stale  It has little chance of attracting enough new cultists.

No, there is protection for candidates, or would be candidates against prosecution, there are policies regarding not making announcements wrt investigations of candidates within  90days(?) before an election.

 

But Trump announcing his run will not protect him from prosecution.

Yeah.

Twice impeached.

Led a failed coup attempt.

Attracted the worse kind of racist far right wing followers.

Very likely to be indicted on multiple felony counts including possibly treason.

They broke the mold when they made him.

Happy for you. It must be nice to believe in things like that. That strange distant look in many Trump supporter's eyes like no one's home. But they seem to believe. Seem happy.

Trump was famous for not managing to form a complete and coherent sentence. Did you ever complain about that?
