It says a great deal about the role models Trump supporters must have had in their own lives, if Trump is the figure they now choose to present to themselves, their children, and their grandchildren.

Half of my family supported and voted for Trump, the other half didn't. My daughter was strong for him, even though I told her about what he was all along. Still, I waited to see what he would do this tenure.

At first, he did some decent things, along with some not so great, and she still supported him, along with her husband. We almost got into arguments when i visited in November but I bit my tongue, knowing arguing politics isn't worth it, as things can change soon enough.

Now, she's more outspoken about how messed up he is, not just with the Epstein things and others similar, but also with his policies. I didn't want to tell her i told you so, but just asked her to remember what I said last year.

Still, we need to wait for this conflict to end, to see the end result of all of it, before we can judge on this matter. As for the other things, it's still too soon to see if they'll do more damage than good, remembering Trump is pro American to the max, which can mean some other countries are alienated by his actions. This doesn't mean he was wrong as far as putting America first, but there's a fine line between alienating and still working together mutually with both sides prospering.

Trump is another form of religion, requiring belief and the suspension of critical thinking.

I am predicting after he dies, the truth will come out, and he will become just as reviled as Peron and Marcos.

Did it seem 'normal' to you to join a thread referencing mental illness with a random rant about the Left?

In all honesty, that strikes me as obsessive. What kind of life do you lead where the thing uppermost in your mind, is the Left?

Smaller nations need America either for trade or military. They also want their products. No harm has been done. Lots of media hype. Lots of bored left wingers whingeing.

Trump is not pro-American. Trump is pro-Trump. How else do you explain making defence spending a priority over health and education? Who do you think is the biggest pig at the trough when it comes to kick-backs from the defence industries? Who has their own brand of cryptocurrency? Who is hurting everyone but the rich with tariffs?

That fine line has been crossed for good, with tariffs and a war launched without any consultation.

Trump is now between a slab of granite, and an adamantine hard place. Regime change in Iran has not been achieved. The Iranians can build attack weapons costing $30,000 that take million dollar counter-missiles to defend against. The American debt is exploding. The petrodollar which underpinned it is declining.

No war has been won from the air alone, ever since Vietnam. Boots on the ground in Iran would be catastrophic both politically, and in terms of body bags.

IMO we are witnessing a turning point in history, when America will bug out of a region it has been meddling in for decades. In its place, there will be two regional powers - Iran and Israel. The gulf states will side with whoever serves their interests best.

Thousands of anti Trump drivel. No job, no money and no hobbies.

The latest data from the March 2026 jobs report (released in early April) shows a significant rebound in the U.S. labor market, defying many economists' expectations after a difficult start to the year.

Key Figures (March 2026)

• Nonfarm Payrolls: Added 178,000 jobs (well above the projected ~65,000).

• Unemployment Rate: Decreased slightly to 4.3%.

Of course Trump is for himself first, but making anything people like work also makes him look good, and his Maga has a lot of people hoping, so again, we have to wait until it's all said and done before making judgement.

Iran has no chance against America now that their military is almost gone. The more they push, the more they'll be demolished, so it's time for them to make changes, with the help of their people, so this crap doesn't start up ever again. It doesn't matter how much is spent by either side, as it's going more against Iran the more they try to block boats from going through the Strait. Losing money is how countries change things. They killed the heads, and will continue until the heads are replaced with normal thinking. Progressive and not genocidal.

The war has continued this far because Congress is okay with it, obviously. There can't be bugging out, because that leaves Iran's regime with free reign to do what it wants, after rebuilding it's military. A war can be won by taking money away from the regime. You go broke, and lose trade, make neighbors your enemies, and you are on a downhill spiral. Israel won't stop until Iran is finished, and Israel has a military while Iran has little left, and the US hasn't even begun to use all it has. It's time for negotiations.

The choice was to vote for open borders, mass migration, DEI, soft on crime, men in girls' showers more expensive energy, higher taxes, etc., or vote for Trump.

Ten years the left have been scouring the globe for dirt on Trump, but the "truth" will come out after he dies. That's a hoot.

So says the man who is absolutely and utterly intolerant of any level of criticism toward his political master.

As a man who claims to have some love of objectivity would you care to enlighten us on which part of Trump's policies you don't agree with?
