How Much of a trumper are You?

worgeordie · April 8

You never hear Trump talking about policies ,what he is going to do to

make things better for the American people , he is always whining on

about himself ,how persecuted he is ,which is all self inflicted ,he's a

liar , a crook ,bankrupt how many times , i am not American ,but i am

afraid if he wins again ,the way the courts are pussy footing about

with him is sickening , lock him up NOW !

Some are so obsessed with Trump.

Seem to spend a good part of their day thinking about him. Why is that? On the big picture, who has an obsessive mental problem? Get a life.

Amazed how obsessed some are with trump, especially non Yanks. Not a day goes by they aren't posting, blaming or accusing him of something. Pops up in completely irrelevant threads.

Seems to be on their brain every moment of the day :coffee1:

I am not from the USA, but I have watched many of McTrumps speeches, so much so, that I find him an embarrassment for the USA........🤗

If your guy is Trump, then your argument makes no sense at all. Trump frequently confuses Biden with Obama, and on one occasion even claimed that he was going to run against Obama in the upcoming election. He has also confused Jeb Bush with his brother George on occasions. And among several other confused claims he also stated that Orban was the prime minister of Turkey. On his campaign trail he is often confused about which state or town he's in. When it comes to competence, we can only look at Trumps criminal mismanagement of Covid, leading to hundred of thousands of unessecary deaths (chlorine anyone..?). Also him storing state secrets in his bathroom at Mar a Lago, does not speak well of his competence nor his judgement. And this is before we talk about him being a convicted fraud and sexual molester.. The US may deserve a younger and more energetic president than Biden, but in no conceivable way is an equally old and more confused Trump a better alternative.

There's the difference, as most Yanks, like myself, probably couldn't match 10 world leaders up with their country, even if given both names, OK, maybe 10, but not 15. Let alone, heard any of their speeches, or who their political opponent is, when's their next election or even what office they hold, president, PM, elected or appointed, what party ... nothing.

Not that non Yanks understand USA political system, how it works, but then again, many Yanks haven't a clue.

Y'all know the participants, even in the primaries, which I didn't know, along with the party they're in.

Trumps not senile, bit of a narcissist. He doesn't have Congress behind him, as both parties don't like him, but Reps have to kiss his butt. If appointed again, he'll have to use executive orders again to get anything done, as Congress will again be doing nothing but fighting with each other.

More distraction and nothing accomplished, till budget time, then fill their coffers.

Distract distract distract ... steal steal steal. Politics as usual.

I would put money on seedy politicians working as a united team against the divided people to get their hands on the $trillions of tax kitty each year.

Looks to me like the Democrats and Republicans are partners of convenience splitting the taxes among themselves.

The caper is incredibly simple. Split the citizens in half politically, then get them rabidly arguing about about nonsensical issues like gays in the military or transgender toilets or what is a man. So no questions arise as to where the tax money and newly printed money has dissappeared to.

I quit voting many decades ago and don't trust any politician of any party.

He may be 6'3", but he is likely closer to 309 lbs.

Not a fan at all.

17 of his businesses have failed in the past few decades. Some at huge losses. Trump Steaks, Trump Shuttle Airline ($120 million in losses between 1988 and 1990), GoTrump, Trump Vodka, Trump Mortgage, Trump University, Trump Ice, The New Jersey Generals, Tour de Trump, Trump Network, Trump Magazine, Trumped!. Many businesses that licensed his name went bankrupt, or went out of business. And he had between four and six major bankruptcies (depending on the source), including the Trump Taj Mahal (which he spent $1.2 billion building, and was $3 billion in debt within a year of opening), Trump's Castle, Trump Place Hotel (which was very successful prior to Trump buying it in 1988, and he managed to put it into $550 million in debt by 1992!), Trump Hotels and Casinos Resorts ($1.8 billion in debt by 2004, bankrupt in 2009) , and Trump Entertainment Resorts.

There are likely others. And this does not take into account the 3,600 lawsuits he was involved in as of the time he took office, the vast majority of which were filed by small contractors against his companies for non payment, or total default. Many of these contractors were crushed. It is part of his M.O.

Nearly anything with his name on it, and his association with it, fails. And that will be even more so, after he loses the November 3rd election. His name will remain radioactive, the the rest of his life, and the mini empire will continue to dwindle. During the period from 1985 to 1989, three years of which were boom year in NY real estate, he somehow managed to lose $359 million. Between 1990 and 1991 he lost $517 million. And between 1992 and 1995 he again managed to lose $286 million.

The real irony of his whole persona, is that he cannot negotiate his way out of a paper bag, much less negotiate a treaty with an adversary, which makes him very dangerous.

Presnock · April 9

Most forgot to mention that he promised "no more chain migration" (if you are unfamiliar with that term, it means sponsoring one family member from a foreign land and then since that person is now a citizen, can sponsor the rest of the family unless they are a convicted criminal.

EXCERT FOR MELANIA'S FAMILY, FATHER JAILED AS A MAFIA FIGURE, PROVIDED LIMOS FOR THE COMMIES BUT TRUMPER LET THEM COME IN TOO. He also is the one that negotiated the leaving of US troops from Afghanistan, doing it just before Biden took over and then the crap hit the fan since there was no time in the negotiations for planning the actual leaving by the troops and their equipment. His disdain for the military is well documented, and since I am a VN vet and know that he avoided that fiasco by having daddy's doc claim he had heel spurs yet they sure didn't stop him from playing many sports while in college. A total assh... . As for that other old fart running against him, I once worked at Dupont in Delaware (Biden's state) and I never once heard ANYONE have ANYTHING positive to say about him nor did any say that they voted FOR him. As for the third candidate running - RFK - braindead for sure already! but will upset someone in November. Scary to say the least. Many foreign countries must be wringing their

hands trying to figure out what they will be doing come Jan 20, 2025. Me, I will just sit back here in this "paradise" as I have done for the last 25 years. Maybe something resembling a miracle will spare all of us in November. Good luck and good haha voting.

Are You Truly a trumper?

In the fever swamps of trumpistan, there are varying degrees of adoration and fanaticism. You might be ‘on the spectrum’, but where? Are you just a dilettante, or are you all the way to a 1-6-21 terrorist? With trump there is precious little ‘little’, and no ‘kind of’. You’re in balls to the wall or you’re out. You’re either committed (or is that should be committed?) or just evidencing a faddish affectation. No room for the latter. Be all-in or be gone, you tino! (trumper in name only).

In order to fine tune the degree to which a trumper is a true cult member, the following panel of questions was developed to assess and differentiate. Run through the list and give yourself a point when you agree with the statement or question, and then add up your score. Use a calculator, if you run out of fingers and toes. Dare to find out just how deep in the weeds you are.

Here are the grades, depending on your point total:

0-5: Ha! That’s it? You must be LGBTQ+

6-10: Not naïve and gullible enough; you’re in need of re-education on Fox or Newsmax before you're qualified to put on your China-made red hat again

11-15: Congrats! You get placed on a mailing list for those running the Nigerian 419 Scam; you have the kind of credulity they can exploit

16-20: I bet you’ll use your SSDI and SNAP to fund a bus ticket to trump’s next ~~rally~~ Hate-in

21-25: Be at the Capitol on 8 January 2025; “It’ll be WILD!”

25: Step aside Kari Lake, you’re the new VP (just do your ‘duty’ on 8 January 2025 or get hung)

---------

# 1: You believe trump’s “best economy ever” hyperbole (despite 70% of all Quarters since the end of WWII produced higher GDP growth)

# 2: Is trump, “like, really really rich, really really smart, and a stable genius”?

#3: At least once you’ve taken your kids’ school lunch money and sent it to trump’s PAC

# 4: You believe trump had a right to take TS, SCI, SAP, SITK, Codeword, HCS and RD docs to his country club and wedding planner facility

# 5: You believe trump “can declassify with his mind”

# 6: trump has ONLY “perfect phone calls”, such as with President Zelenskyy, GA SecState Brad Raffensperger, etc. Some say nobody does a better phone call.

# 7: Stormy is lying (and not just about “Not quite freakishly small, but well below average”)

# 8: The 2020 election was stolen

# 9: The jailed 6 January 2021 terrorists are actually “hostages” and/or “political prisoners”

# 10: trump will be reinstated 13 August ~~2021~~ ~~2022~~ ~~2023~~ 2024

# 11: Truth (sic) Social is today’s Amazon and Microsoft rolled into one; get in now or regret later

# 12: Hugo Chavez rose from the grave, wrote a program he uploaded to an Italian satellite, and had the satellite alter votes on Dominion voting machines (per Sidney Powell, one of trump’s ‘crack’ legal team)

# 13: You believe trump is 6’3” and 215 lbs

# 14: Q is real and Hillary/Tom Hanks and others run an international cabal that kidnaps, rapes, roasts and eats babies (as trump now says has truth to it)

# 15: You bought a thread from his Georgia booking/arrest jacket

# 16: You think Jared is actually the biological father of Ivanka’s kids (okay, no points if your answer is “Yes”, as no DNA test has been done)

# 17: You own at least one pair of trump’s Golden Sneakers AND you ordered a trump Bible

# 18: You believe bone spurs are a more serious affliction than the Bubonic Plague or pancreatic cancer

#19: You think trump’s NYC apartment is 33,000 square feet

#20: You think trump won many club golf championships and has never cheated

# 21: You believe the trump NFT of him as a buffed fighter pilot represents genuine value

#22: You think a former softcore porn model (images on Google) deserved her “Einstein Visa” and was the classiest First Lady ever

#23: Like trump, you use the term Deep State and actually believe it’s a real thing

#24: You’re still impressed to this day by “Man Woman Person Camera TV”

#25: While the 2020 election was rigged and stolen, EVERY Republican Congressperson who won on the same ballot in 2020 did so absolutely legitimately

#26: You believe a truly innocent man delays delays delays his trials, rather than has his day in court quickly to prove his innocence.

#27: You think the recent East Coast earthquake was---as MTG Tweeted---a 'sign from Gawd that US must repent'...(forget this question, as the USGS said the epicenter was close to trump's Bedminster Golf Course)

There is really one simple and basic fact that the raging anti-Trump crowd just doesn't get. If you really want to hurt Trump, ignore him. He is a narcissist and egomaniac. Ignore him and you take away his power and mystique. Keep talking about him, no matter how disparagingly, and you just add to his lustre. He has spent the last 40 years as a media figure, tv star, and politician. He thrives on attention. You want to slay the beast, cut off the oxygen.

Biden is not the same, he is just simply bland. Cold dry toast. The ultimate Washington swamp creature.

So, how much of a Trumper am I? Well, I would have preferred BOTH parties to pick different candidates. What scares me the most is the spectre of a Kamala Harris presidency looming in the next year- the actuarial tables are not looking good for Biden. It also depends on who Trump picks for his VP candidate, very curious as to who it may be.

Without making predictions, I look on Ms. Harris a bit like Harry Truman. Nobody in 1944 Democratic hierarchy liked the current VP and, just looking at FDR, everyone knew he was on his last legs. Truman turned out to be the guy everyone disliked the least.

And Truman just ranked #7 on the Siena list of greatest Presidents.

If anyone is raging, it is Trump and the MAGA supporters.

I fail to understand how people donate money to a self-proclaimed billionaire, because that defies all logic.

It defies even more logic when people buy gold sneakers he has never worn himself, or buy bibles he cannot quote a single verse from.

Wrong! Trump uses chaos to keep himself relevant. Trying as hard as you can hoping he will NOT diminish that is lunacy. President Harris is going to be our next person to occupy the WH. If you are scared that will come to be than expect you may soon be more of a mess than you already are. It is going to happen.
