He has not proven those things to me.

No, if I wanted a President with no respct for democracy I would vote for Harris. 

If I wanted to give the government more control I would be a leftist, I want the people tonhave more control, that’s why I support Trump.

"He has not proven those things to me."

 

Are you waiting for a big strong man to come up to you with tears in his eyes, hug you, thank you for all you do,

and then tell you that Trump is a compulsive (and obvious) liar?

This post pretty much explains it.  Trump supporters buy into the lies.  Not just about Trump, but about his political opponents.  As for the question about "decent Americans".....I suppose anyone can fall for a scam or con. 

Yeah, I guess, but twice?

A big motivation for maga cultists is to hurt other people.

3. She is going to put more pressure on Netanyahu than Trump will (she's the least worst option)

She has done nothing to prove that she would.

If netanyahu gave the bird to Biden, he's certainly not going to bow to her.

4. She has proposed sound pro business policies (e.g. $50,000 tax break for new business)

Shoring up businesses with other people's money only staves off the inevitable. The US claims to be a capitalist society. Harris wants to make it socialist, with other people's money.

She does not control the SCOTUS.

8. She is more likely to fix the Supreme Court situation (excessive politicisation / ethical breaches by sitting judges)

She does not control the SCOTUS.

11. Finally and most importantly - I believe she will concede if she loses (i.e. she believes in the constitution)

Did Trump have to be removed by gunpoint from the W H?

A huge part of the peaceful transfer of power is to actually concede. It's only ever not happened once that I know of.

The difference is that the election will be in the rear view mirror. The October 7th terrorist attack was perfectly timed for Israel - a full year of unchecked retaliation due to the upcoming US election. I kind of think Joe Biden will finish up his presidency (if Harris wins) by coming out much much harder against Netanyahu (not Israel, but Netanyahu). Harris will pick up where he leaves off.

You oughta spend a minute to educate yourself on corporate welfare in the US.

She doesn't need to control SCOTUS, she only needs to get the law passed in congress.

Again, she does not need to control SCOTUS to implement changes to fix the politicisation and ethical issues

Biden is in lala land. IMO he'll only do something if his handlers tell him to and we don't know who they are.

Perhaps but there's no need to promise other people's money when it depends on congress approving it. If it's a GOP controlled house good luck on that.

Needs a Dems controlled house to do that.

Ditto, and that may need constitutional change- no chance of that.

A couple of examples of what Trump accomplished during his time as president.

The best president since Ronald Reagan.

 

Trump has brokered four peace agreements in the Middle East, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce. Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by 3 separate world leaders.

Trump is the first president since Eisenhower not to engage the United States in a foreign war.

Trump promised to destroy ISIS, and kept his promise. Killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and Iranian terrorist Qasem Soleimani. Something Obama promised to do, but failed to do.

Donald Trump has had the greatest positive impact on the economy, creating more jobs and lowering the unemployment rate for black and Latino populations than any other president. Ever!

 

Trump has exposed the deep, widespread and long-standing corruption within the FBI, CIA, NSA and the Democratic Party.

Donald Trump turned NATO around and made them start paying their signed dues.

Trump neutralized North Korea, prevented them from developing further nuclear weapons, stopped missiles at Japan and cannot threaten the US West Coast. Not a single nuclear test by Little Rocket man since they met.

Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, something every president before him promised to do, but never dared to do.

Donald Trump is standing up to China, bringing hundreds of companies home to the US, and revitalizing the US economy far beyond anything his predecessors thought possible.

Trump has made the appointment of three judges to the Supreme Court and will soon have placed close to 300 federal judges on the federal bench.
 

Trump cut taxes as promised and sent the stock market soaring to record highs, benefiting retirees, tens of millions of citizens.

President Trump helped VA veterans get free and prompt healthcare.

Trump legislated "Second Chance" so that especially black prisoners are released from prison earlier when they were sentenced for an unsightly length of time for minor crimes. Young people who received years in prison for marijuana possession are now being released.

Donald Trump rebuilt the military that the Obama administration had disarmed, and Obama fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year in office.

Trump exposed and clamped down on rampant illegal immigration and rampant sex and drug trafficking in the US and has now built over 400 miles of wall. Illegal immigration has now decreased.

Donald J. Trump trump worked for free, has given his salary every quarter to children and environmental funds about 465,000 dollars a quarter.

Trump has lost more than 2 billion dollars of his own money by not being allowed to run his companies as president - and did this for everyone in the United States in the face of immense hatred from the left who did not believe he would win and then succeed.

Time will tell.

Pride is a powerful motivator and Biden, no doubt, is feeling incredibly indignant that the impending election has allowed Netanyahu to be so recalcitrant.

Other people's money?

 

How are Kamala's policies any different than Trumps (no tax on tips / no tax on overtime / no tax on social security / making car loans tax deductible)

 

Practically all government policy involves spending "other peoples money"

 

What a silly argument to make.

No necessarily - there are female Republicans and nobody knows what will become of the Republican Party once Trump's cult is vanquished once and for all on November 5.

No constitutional change required.
