Trump has made it abundantly clear thug he couldn’t care less about Republican, Democrat or whatever. He has no interest outside feeding his ego and enriching his family’s coffers.
@SpiritualMan To quote another member here: [quote]Trump is there to benefit himself commercially. He's not there to do anything beneficial for the USA as a sovereign country.[/quote] That's the truth.
He goes along with some Republican positions, but you're right, he's not a conventional Republican the way George W. Bush was. In the past, he's been a registered Democrat, and he previously considered running for president on the Reform Party ticket. However, he's tapped into a current of xenophobia, racism, and white nationalism that the Republican party has been cultivating for decades. Given that around 80% of Republican voters support him, the Republican party has essentially become the Party of Trump. So in that way, he epitomizes the Republican party of today.
I don't think he has any loyalty to the GOP beyond what it can do for him. When he's out of office, he won't follow the "Reagan rule" which was "never speak ill of another Republican." He doesn't even follow that rule now.
Sorry to upset you bud. That's just my opinion I am fully confident that history will remember this man as a childish, narcissistic [i]embarrassment [/i]of a president and after he loses the protection of his office, even more of his sordid and petulant doings will be brought to light.🤷♀️
Ok I was referring to the Ukraine blackmail. Which is usually what you are yptalking about when Schiff comes up. Those allegations were proven, it’s just that as could be predicted the Republicans didn’t care. @Budwick
He most definately is a narcissist, likely a sociopath. A failed businessman. A failed politician(to most all, excluding his cult). And in no manner, a republican.
With so many declared Republicans that have become members of the trump party(cultists), it makes me question the values and standards that Republicans used as their platform for years.
@Carla Did you know that in the bible God greatly used an adulterer and murderer, and called him "a man after His own heart". Now given, this man DID REPENT of the adultery and murder, God DID punish him but He also continued to bless this man until his death. Who do you think this man was?
@Jasondf That’s unusual to hear. I thought all of SW guys in uniform have only tremendous things to say about Trump. Never would I have imagined anyone would admit that he’s a narcissist.
@SimplyTracie You'd be surprised how many military members despise Cadet Bone Spurs. This is why Trump won't be able to pull off a military coup to stay in power. His statement last week that he would accept losing to Biden and would leave office may have been in response to military leaders telling him that they will be loyal to the Constitution and not him if he loses.
What made me want to vote for him is in the anti Trump ads of him saying, “and you can tell them to go fuck themselves” That was my moment of enlightenment. Fucking love him!!!
@SpiritualMan It's in the bag! I've already counted the votes! [Lest Adam Schiff sends his sooper troopers - I'm joking. We don't start counting til next week.] It's a landslide!
You never do. You can never debate me, only complain about me. You're a fun diversion from debating people who actually make me think but nothing more. Just a wounded snowflake.
But feel free to impress me. Go ahead and make a case why Trump does not display the qualities of narcissism. Explain how the man who made fun of his opponent's health, looks and names is actually likeable.
....well you'll notice that the list is preceded by "i think" lol
I mean he [i]is[/i] a narcissist and a businessman and a politician and technically a republican. I just put them in order of relevance as descriptors of the man.
pikachu desperate don looks after desperate don and basically is a minor consideration which shows what has happened in the united states over the time he has been in office defy desperate don and get crush like an insect under his foot
No he is not a Republican he even admitted as much a few years ago saying if he would run he would run as a Republican because they would be easy to manipulate
Well that's actually not true. I looked it up. But i agree that he only ran as a Republican because they were the ones that would allow him to succeed.
@SpiritualMan LOL none of that has actually happened.
How about blowing up the deficit and lowering the standing of the US internationally? Trump has done damage that we may never recover from. It's becoming obvious that the best days of the US are behind it and like any empire, we're on the decline. That won't happen overnight; it's a series of events that by themselves may not be significant, but taken together are devastating. I think future historians will mark the beginning of the decline with Trump's term, but the roots go back to Reagan's presidency.
Thanks😉 And i while we often disagree, i respect you for being one of the few people on this site who can admit that and with whom i can disagree without getting mad about it.
