What Trump has done different that has worked?
You are correct …no one ever negotiated successfully with the Russians except Trump.
We live in an alternate universe.
Tons of liberals were upset about the failure of Obama with Iran. Many have been vocal on this site about it.
He’d have had a chance if not for his initial INSISTENCE that Russia had nothing to do with the election interference, and said as much on global TV after meeting with Putin.
Who says it didn’t work? Russia is a dumpster of the planet, where only the elite aren’t living like slumericans.
Do you have a specific example of something Trump’s done IRT Russia that you think was an improvement? Giving them Syria, perhaps?
Maybe it’s not. Maybe as Americans we should support our president regardless of his/her political party for the greater good of the country.
Just pointing out the hipocracy.
Nothing yet I agree, but it’s too soon to tell. Who knows where we’ll be in another 5 years of a Trump presidency. I’m pretty sure foreign policy situations are fluid and change frequently so how can anyone say at this early stage if Trump’s strategies will work or not? But again, because it’s Trump certain people automatically think nothing he does is right or advantageous to the US.
We should blindly support our president as if we lived in a dictatorship? In that case, why even have a congress or Supreme Court?
Just pointing out the fascism.
And speaking of hypocrisy, how does this support for the president work with regard to Trump and his support for the birther movement?
True. Giving Bush another four years was how we won the war in Iraq.
I’m not sure how giving our elected president the benefit of the doubt and time to enact his policies is “blindly following”.
For the record I gave Obama the benefit of the doubt for the majority of his presidency despite being a Republican, because unlike many people I actually think this is a great country and want to see it prosper regardless of which party the President belongs to.
I like what you did there. You’re a clever one you.
And tons of Republicans disagree with many of Trump’s decisions, what’s the point? Has there ever been a president who had the full support and backing of 100% of his party on any and every decision?
Is this the bar Trump is set at to be considered legitimate?
If I didn’t support those policies in the first place, why should I support them now?
So all of those people who did not support invading Iraq should have kept their mouths shut even though history proved them right?
If the president is pro choice, everyone who is against abortion should then support abortion rights?
So by your logic since Obama was pro abortion we should have manufactured a reason to impeach him since not everyone in America is pro abortion.
In fact every president should have been impeached because there’s always someone who disagrees with them.
What do you suggest for this shitty country going forward? No more elected leaders and total anarchy?
I like it. You’ve opened my eyes comrade.
Why do you believe the case against Trump is based on manufactured evidence?
You all did manufacture a birther movement so don’t act as if you have integrity. You elected someone who promoted it. Fix your own lack of ethics before preaching to others.
Only because they decided to impeach him before he ever even took office. And have been looking for a reason ever since. Guilty until proven innocent seems to be the democratic way these days.
I’m just curious, do you assume I bought in to the birther hysteria because I’m a Republican or because I’m a Trumpkin?
I don’t know if you bought into it but it was something you could ignore to the point of appearing disingenuous with your support the president drivel.
You want us to hold ourselves to a higher standard than the president holds himself to.
You don’t see the irony in your post?
And if true, you were the proverbial drop in the Conservative Ocean…
Opposition to President Obama was begun even before he was inaugurated; with negative revisionist history occurring until this day, often led by Trump.
From the McConnell (“My number-one goal was to make sure that Barack Obama is a one-term president.”); to the formation of literally thousands of “Not-for-profit/Non-Political (cough**cough)” groups in opposition to his Presidency; to Mall protest numbering the thousands; to a legislature that are delivering and supporting things for Trump (like Justice reform) that they continuously blocked for President Obama…to the rise of a Conservative Media that was vitriolic to anything and everything President Obama did…even when as a young President he was working day and night to pull us out of the worst World-Wide financial crisis since the Great Depression.
And all of this is a partial list.
It is absolutely sickening to me to see Conservative Memes about needing to “support our President” or “support Trump because we are all one Country” when I think back to the utter hate and disrespect that was shown President Obama.
I hold Obama & Trump to the same standard. I didn’t like Obama. I didn’t like his foreign policy at all. I was hoping Trump would have revamped Obamacare. With these two issues Trump has disappointed me. I am allowed to criticism both presidents if I disagree with their policies,.
I understand not supporting Obama’s policies, but your post reeks of the false equivalence I often see drawn between Obama (or Democrats in general) and Trump (Republicans). Trump is eroding the foundational elements of our democracy - independent judiciary, co-equal branches of government, congress’s oversight responsibly, congress’s right to appropriate funds, independent Federal Reserve, military chain of command, etc. Policies can’t stand on their own. There needs to be a solid foundation based on shared values (the Constitution), and not on the whims of a demigod.
I don’t mean to call you out personally. Just saw this as a chance to draw a distinction.
I’ve been unaffiliated for my entire voting life and have voted for Republicans (in a state-wide election) as recently ast the 2018 election. But, it’s become super clear that there’s a difference in the way two sides play the game, and I’m not an “ends justify the means” kinda of guy. How you get there matters. It’s not worth selling your soul to get the policy outcome you want.
