When one thinks of former politicians who inspired, one has to consider RFK, a truly great man, a man who spoke with such conviction and spoke such truth at a time when America was in a crisis. He was a true patriot. A giant. He strived to encourage us to bring out our better selves. What a concept. 

 

We now find ourselves in a difficult position, and yet we see nothing but division, nothing but hatred, and no words of inspiration from Trump.  Nothing. Only hatred and venom, the opposite of good leadership. 

 

JFK and RFK were two truly legendary men, the likes of which we will never see again.

 

From a speech in 1968.
All around us, all around us, - not just on the question of Vietnam, not just on the question of the cities, not just the question of poverty, not just on the problems of race relations - but all around us, and why you are so concerned and why you are so disturbed - the fact is, that men have lost confidence in themselves, in each other, it is confidence which has sustained us so much in the past - rather than answer the cries of deprivation and despair - cries which the President's Commission on Civil Disorders tells us could split our nation finally asunder - rather than answer these desperate cries, hundreds of communities and millions of citizens are looking for their answers, to force and repression and private gun stocks - so that we confront our fellow citizen across impossible barriers of hostility and mistrust and again, I don't believe that we have to accept that. I don't believe that it's necessary in the United States of America. I think that we can work together - I don't think that we have to shoot at each other, to beat each other, to curse each other and criticize each other, I think that we can do better in this country. And that is why I run for President of the United States.

 

We speak of our greatness, based on our gross national product - if we judge the United States of America by that - that gross national product counts air pollution and cigarette advertising, and ambulances to clear our highways of carnage. It counts special locks for our doors and the jails for the people who break them. It counts the destruction of the redwood and the loss of our natural wonder in chaotic sprawl. It counts napalm and counts nuclear warheads and armored cars for the police to fight the riots in our cities. It counts Whitman's rifle and Speck's knife, and the television programs which glorify violence in order to sell toys to our children. Yet the gross national product does not allow for the health of our children, the quality of their education or the joy of their play. It does not include the beauty of our poetry or the strength of our marriages, the intelligence of our public debate or the integrity of our public officials. It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile. And it can tell us everything about America except why we are proud that we are Americans.

 

We can do better here in the United States, we can do better. We can do better in our relationships to other countries around the rest of the globe. President Kennedy, when he campaigned in 1960, he talked about the loss of prestige that the United States had suffered around the rest of the globe, but look at what our condition is at the present time.

Trump (the most corrupt president in American history) is the kind of "role model" that decent parents try to protect their children from.

What he inspires is hatred, ignorance, fear, racism, xenophobia, greed, and lack of compassion.  A disgusting president as well as a disgusting human specimen. 

What is this crap about inspiration?

 

The man is systematically dismantling everything good about the US, undermining democracy and mocking the constitution and rule of law with nearly every action. 

Inspiration? 

 

Sod off.

Yes and the fact that he still enjoys support from about 35 percent of Americans in his cult inspires decent people the world over to feel like vomiting. But enemies of the USA are totally thrilled!

Because what he is doing is too complex for you and anyone else to understand.

 

Why don't you admit that to yourself? 

 

He is not a great orator. But he rolls up his sleeves.

Here, I have some homework for you.

 

Watch Peter Navarro's speech addressing the Council on Foreign Relations.

 

Analyze it and see if you can figure out what Trump is trying to accomplish.

 

I admit a lot of this stuff is over my head. I understand maybe only 10% of what's going on.

 

But at least I am trying to understand what Trump is doing. 

 

You are not. 

 

I may start a separate thread on this. RIght now, still trying to digest it. 

 

 

I hope these message boards are preserved for future researchers to study the mass psychosis occurring on the left during this era.

You seem to have forgotten about Clinton committing perjury when testifying before a Grand Jury. The Dems didn't disown him then.

 

 

I guess.....and I don't really give a flying......that there is some kind of grading system in peoples minds were lying is not seen as bad as fiddling with kids.....

 

Imagine if followers of a politician took umbrage to them lying......555

Why Trump is incapable of inspiring us.

5! Trump has inspired you probably more than anyone in your entire life, this site is littered with a wealth of yours and many others Trump inspirations.

Maybe the focus should be on finding a qualified democrat candidate to run in 2028. If you find one that believes in strong borders and tough on crime, I'd vote for them. 

 

But sadly, very few on the left believe in those 2 things anymore.

And that is the dumbest post I've read in a loooong time. Trump is an idiot.

'nuff said.

 

Remember this? Very inspiring. Trump does inspire a certain kind of people. He inspires them to be the worst they can be.

 

 

 

 

I don't see the problem with Trump

The only thing he could inspire you to do or be is a liar, scam artist,

cheat, bankrupt, a sexual abuser , felon ,adulter ,there has to be more

but cannot think of them at moment ,did I mention massive liar .....
