The One Trump Flaw Most Americans Can’t Tolerate

Democrats should emphasize not that the president is corrupt or immoral, but that he is incompetent.

"A little more than half a year into Trump’s second term, however, the public’s confidence in his skill as a chief executive is shattering. In a recent AP/NORC poll, only about one-quarter of U.S. adults said that Trump’s policies have helped them. Roughly half report that Trump’s policies have “done more to hurt” them, and about two in 10 say his policies have “not made a difference” in their lives. Remarkably, Trump failed to earn majority approval on any of the issues in the poll, including the economy, immigration, and cutting government spending."

Tolerating then due to police and armed forces protection 

Another syndrome thread.

He only needs to get 20% of the normies to win the election,  He's got a solid cult base that never goes below 30%.  

Hard to speak of competence when he has an agenda of his own he hardly speaks of.  These failures of gov't he triggers are in his favor, he wants it all to go away.  Any questions?  Talk to Steve Bannon, he's the fascist scholar.

It's not for a shop sales girl to decide, or even to know, if Trump is competent or not. Whether he hurts their pocket now is not an indication of competence. 

 

Rather his competence will be be possible to judge in the passing of time.

 

Much like with Reagan.

What kills me is it takes several years after a president is out of office to determine their effect on economy or world affairs.  ANd I did not see incompetence in Trump 1.0.  Some may not like his positions but he ran on them, and did them.  Kinda refreshing.

 

If Biden had been nit picked this much by the media the Trump Deranged members here glom onto we would have removed him from office in his second year.

Some yes, while MANY others felt Harris was shoved down our throats due to no reasonable primary (which I doubt she could have won). This will be a black eye felt for many election cycles.

 

This will be a racist & sexist remark - it will also be the truth. America isn't ready for anything other than a straight white male with perfect hair to be president. Sorry, not sorry.

For once you're not completely wrong.

He chose all the wrong people from Barr to Bolton and all the rest.

He could not stop all the BS and sabotage the democrats were throwing at him.

He could not stop immigration enough and all the (mostly peaceful ) riots.

 

He was an outsider not a career politician.

He learned a lot since then.

Now it is more the incompetence of the people under him.

Nope. How many syndrome threads vs Trump's doing a good job thread. Ratio of at least 100 to 1. It's more the case that the syndrome suffering lefties live on here not in my head.

Ahhh perhaps most folks think he’s doing a lousy job……dare I say incompetent or perhaps he’s wrecking things on purpose so he can change our democracy into a dictatorship…….actually personally I think it’s the latter.

What's even worse (and I've pointed this out before) - anyone who thinks these are 47's ideas isn't thinking this through. He's just the distraction clown doing his idiotic dances while truly evil men like Stephen Miller and Russell Vought are the real architects of this dictatorship. Hell, they aren't even hiding it any more. Project 2025 is in full blown implementation. The spineless Democrats are clutching pearls, writing "strongly worded emails," or taking childish pictures of themselves holding softball bats, thinking this will ensure the public they're doing something. As much as I hate just about everything the above poster spews, he's right on that point. Dems will not win the the mids or 2028.

What is happening in America today has very little to do with Trump, and a LOT to do with those who are writing his script, and those who blindly follow, believing ( not thinking)  'he' is doing what's best for them.

Paving over the Rose Garden and building a $400 million dollar ballroom must be what they want.

  Agree on Vought and Miller, truly malignant.

 

  Everything else is kabuki theater while they implement the Heritage Foundation playbook.

Trump is basicly the boss over a 2 million employees.

Try to run a business with so many people , many of them have their own agenda

or hate him and work against him.

Who appointed them ?

These are career bureaucrates, appointed by various administrations.

No, they will maybe win because cleaning up of voter rolls and

stopping the illegals voting may offset the loss of Trump voters

that are p1ssed off by the Epstein mistake and putting israel first.

Any changes of note this time around, seems there is still far too many incompetent people under him bowing, scraping and butt licking when they should be saying enough is enough, fix the problems or bugger-off.

"A little more than half a year into Trump’s second term, however, the public’s confidence in his skill as a chief executive is shattering. In a recent AP/NORC poll, only about one-quarter of U.S. adults said that Trump’s policies have helped them.

Trump will continue not being traditionally popular as long as the argument is continued to be framed in this manner. Nobody that I know supports Trump because of his policies. We care about one thing:  whether or not he will overthrow the globalist criminal syndicate.  If he does that...if he eliminates the cancer and corruption of the last century throughout the US government and restores us to a constitutional republic...then all his other policies are just minor irritations. They can be fixed later once the vote is no longer fraudulent.

 

If he doesn't do that, if we're still having these kinds of irrelevant 'politics as usual' debates in 2028, then humanity has lost.  Trump supporters as a rule don't accept humanity has lost. Not yet. We still have 3 more years to go.

Will the elections be fair or rigged? 

 

Seems repubs are in double overdrive to attempt to rig everything they can find ...but no matter what happens if repubs lose you can bet your ass that it was "rigged" by the dems.  If repubs win then of course it was all free and fair.  Still whining about 2020 and if/when they lose in 2026 the whining will continue.

 

So tired of whining.
