Let's Have an Honest Discussion About Trump

I'll admit to being enraged when I saw the AI video that Trump posted of himself as a fighter pilot spreading shit over the crowds at the No Kings rallies this weekend. Is this the behavior that we expect from our President, the leader of the free world? Is this the way that he demonstrates that he is the President of ALL the people in our country?
I have some questions for you Trump supporters. Please think about your responses. I know many of you believe that Trump is the best thing since sliced bread. Rather than replying in vague generalities or criticizing your opponents, think about:
1. How has your life improved since Trump took office?
2. How has the country improved since Trump took office?
3. What specifically has Trump done to make the country better?
4. Do you believe that our country is moving in the right direction since Trump took office?
5. What is your biggest concern about what is happening in our country today?

BTW, I'm 19, white and a native of rural Alabama. I escaped after high school and enlisted in the USAF where I am a Public Affairs Specialist. Joining the Air Force was my only path to college.

1. How has your life improved since Trump took office? My taxes are lower so I keep more of my hard earned money. Also the value of my 401k account has increased. Inflation has slowed so my money will buy more.

2. How has the country improved since Trump took office? Less inflation, fewer Illegal immigrants, less wasteful / expensive government support of electric vehicles

3. What specifically has Trump done to make the country better? Improved border enforcement, increased deportations of criminals, lowered the price of oil and gas, struck trade deals that benefit the U.S. economy.

4. Do you believe that our country is moving in the right direction since Trump took office?
Mostly yes

5. What is your biggest concern about what is happening in our country today? Too many people are falling for the idea that socialist policies are better than capitalism in spite of the demonstrated fact that every socialist society has collapsed into poverty and disorder (case in point Venezuela)

@justbob

Annual inflation rate in the United States for December 2024 was 2.9%, a slight increase from 2.7% following the November 2024 elections.

Annual inflation rate in the U.S. was 2.9% for the 12 months ending in August 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

What do you know! looks like inflation did not change. You should check your sources, you wouldn't want to be wrong, would you?

I wonder though, how has lowering illegal immigration changed your life, and by that I mean YOUR life?

FYI: The President has no control over a global commodity like oil and gas, but I guess you didn't know.

Yes.

Is this the way that he demonstrates that he is the President of ALL the people in our country?

He never wanted to be the president of the country. He became president to settle grievances. His hard core voters do not want to be fair and co-patriots of those who did not vote for him.

Just as long as we're honest.

The only way to unseat him, is not to go high when they go low.

@Northwest He only ran to boost his "brand", and once he ran, he became a puppet president. He is still a puppet president, but jow, he has had more instruction and more horrible people behind him pushing their own agenda. He's mostly been golfing and making deals to further his wealth and land ownership.

But his supporters definitely need to own up to their votes. They can't hide behind the man who "speaks for them". It's time they spoke for themselves.
