I don't think you realize how many folks voted for Trump not because we think he's some saint (he's not anywhere close), but because the alternative option wants to implement policies which will destroy our country.
We view the current Democrat policy platform such a threat to the Constitution and our freedoms we're willing to vote for someone like Trump.
^this
I think Trump is an ass - but he is an ass to people who are trying to destroy this country
I think Trump is a narcissist - but thats a personality thing not a policy thing so I don't care
I think Trump is racially insensitive - but thats common among his age group, older politicians have just learned to hide it better.
I didn't vote for him because he is a nice person. I don't care if he is nice or not.
I voted for him because he wasn't
- trying to raise my taxes
- over regulating business
- going to allow us to remain in bad trade deals
- ditto for bad peace deals and environmental boondoggles
- going to grant citizenship to illegals
- going to be lax on border security
etc.
I just hoped he held the line on that stuff and appointed the one SC justice at the time.
He surpassed my expectations actually. What he did with the military and ongoing conflicts (by actually listening to the military, giving them what they wanted and letting them do what they do) was awesome and he managed to start no new conflicts while telling Iran where they could shove it and I think made some progress on NK something nobody has done in 60+ years. He also did what others have only promised in Israel. And got 2 more SC justices.
Now here is an exercise for the Libs/Dems here.... tell me why I wouldn't vote for him given that (without telling me about some personality trait, use actual policy, decisions, and outcomes)?
