Interesting, if Trump is so bad, why do you think half of the country will vote for him?


Those people have real problems that I am sympathetic to. For example, being left behind economically. Problems at the border. etc. Trump speaks to these problems and the democratic party does not fix these problems.

The reason Trump is popular is because he is willing to lie and make false promises in order to gain support. Any one can do this, you just have to have no moral boundaries and some charisma. For example how Enron, Theranos, and that crypto guy are able to defraud billions of dollars from investors.

This describes pretty much every politician who ever had to be democratically elected. Has any other American president behaved differently?


Just those that fell short of actively encouraging and organising attempted overthrows of congress to alter the outcome of the vote.


Who said anything about comparisons with other presidents? In general people who even seek political office should not be allowed such office.

Let’s not forget that trump is a known associate with convicted child rapists Epstein and Maxwell.

The best guy to be president is probably an average unnamed dude chillin somewhere.

I don’t have any connections with child rapists. Do you? Then already as a starting point we can be better than Trump.
