Trump sleeps like a baby at night ..... after drinking a refreshing glass of his enemies' tears before bedtime.

 

His obsessive "stans" and detractors, however, have the emotional age of a baby.

 

The loyalty is sad and a bit baffling.  The following is seemingly not about a platform; it's about weaponizing grievance and spite.
 

His base sees his felony conviction, policy failures (like healthcare/trade), and sheer chaos not as flaws, but as badges of honor proving he’s the ultimate outsider fighting "the system."

His appeal is:

- "Owning the Libs": Making opponents miserable is the main policy.

- Martyrdom/Indictments: including the civil jury finding of sexual abuse against E. Jean Carroll and the two dozen plus other claims of sexual misconduct, just make him a persecuted hero.

- Cultural Vengeance: He champions their anger, with any allegation, including a past, dropped lawsuit alleging he raped a 13-year-old with Jeffrey Epstein, being dismissed as a political attack.
- Absurd pardons: releasing felons and commuting the sentences of convicted criminals who are on his team. 

Morality is outsourced for the satisfaction of pure spite.

Am I correct in assuming that you're fine with him building his own army and buying weapons used for war instead of crowd control/protesting? Alas, this is a rhetorical question.

As long as they help the average American more along the way with keeping peace worldwide and ridding the US of drug dealings 

Wow! 🤯   Everything costs more. Tariffs are paid by the buyer. His tax cuts disproportionately benefited the wealthy, rapidly increasing national debt while gains for the "average American" largely followed existing trends.  BTW, China just made a 20-year soybean deal with Brazil. Ya boy plans on bailing out the farmers who are affected with our tax dollars.

I talk to my daughters weekly who live there, and get news online daily, and I haven't seen much progress that wasn't already happening beforehand. That's what I meant by we'll see in the end of his term what he did.

People who are emotionally immature tend to be unsuccessful in life because they can’t cope with all the ups and downs. People who don’t cave in to their feelings and cultivate discipline and focus weathering difficulties tend   be more successful, you know people like Trump are much more successful because they’re not emotional wimps. How about you? Do you feel offended by harsh words on a discussion board? Do you react with the thumps down when you read something here that strikes your emotions? Like I said, the OP is really about you, not Trump.

Trump and emotional maturity is like chalk and cheese. Trump's image as a business man is someone elses'  fabricated success . His personal solo attempts have invariably failed as seems that his second term as POTUS  is.

The serious problem is that he is taking millions of US citizens down with him.

Rational critical comment and opinion that so many of his supporters venomously try to suppress here on AN with personal attacks and slurs do nobody any service.

Agree, so many anti Trump, and hate threads.  Very tiresome.

He is a high school bully and his followers are just that, brainless followers.

I think there is good reason for that, as your leader is bringing down the USA, the protests point this out by those who actually LIVE there..........🤗

And Argentinian farmers got a subsidy that enables a discount to China for  soy etc.

Or do you just go by AN's hate threads, which for me, I'm not seeing much in facts to support any of the MSM BS ...

I’m from there, and undoubtedly those protests are a waste of time and energy. Just an excuse to get out and make some noise.

He is indeed a bully but keep in mind the context of the estimations were about what motivates him in his decision making. Really more like a toddler than a typical high school age kid.

Wow, now that is a very mature reply to someone who disagrees with you.  At least you refrain from smearing him with "MAGA fascist".  

 

On another note, I get satisfaction knowing many on this forum spends many hours fretting over President Trump.  You and others must live miserable lives 🤣

I didn't say it was about people who disagree with me, Mr. Straw Man.

I suggested that everyone should have an opinion about Trump because he's so powerful. Good or bad. STOP LYING.

I was referring to tax breaks........😂

You have a therapist, I might have guessed................🤣

Trump has the mental ability of a 8 yr old and tantrums of a 5 yr old. Has no class,no charisma,no style. Definately not a wordsmith,persnally i think he is the lowest scumbag on the planet today.

What were they protesting? A non existent monarchy. What do they stand for at what objective? Nothing but the same “Get Trump” jabs that hasn’t produced anything positive for the left, they just continue to trip over themselves in an obsessive stagnated quagmire of anti Trump nonsense instead of developing a meaningful rational footing, it’s digressive and it’s quite remarkable that folks on the left can’t see the self destructiveness. The left has no focus and are wandering.

My therapist helps me deal with trolls ... 

 

The tax code is great, and I've used it a lot, to avoid paying 10s of Thousands of tax dollars.  Probably avoided paying as many tax dollars as I've paid 

 

Work smarter, not harder 😎

 

What a coincidence, FedEx just dropped off my new card ...

5! Good grief, that guy been saying the same thing for decades. Nothing new.

Its always something with the left wing Trump haters. Now its President Trump's emotional age. The left worries themselves sick over how Trump is able to get under the skin of these complainers. Trump is the master Troll and wrote the book on upending the left.

He is a master troll, grifter, and con man.

But those skills don't make a great president.

They make the worst president ever.
