Why can’t republicans be adults and acknowledge how much of a stupid, whiny, piece of shit he is?

The only defense Trumper's here on USMB can come up with are direct attacks on any poster who criticizes or makes negative comments about Trump. When the message can not be attacked, attack the messenger.

These pathetic posters use insult posts and general whining to sabotage and vandalize threads. Only idiots and morons would not recognize that what they call an obsession of negativity with Trump has been a prevalent and normal political discourse in American politics for the entire history of America. In fact, it was used often in the earliest days of our history by our founders.

Actually I'm embarrassed on your account, for your incessant whining. I have kindergartners who whine a lot less than you. If they whined as much as you, I would tell them to stop whining.

True facts

I’d rather whine about the truth and be you who pretends like a child that he is a good president despite all the evidence otherwise.

He is a good president. Your evidence that he's not in this post was about all your infantile feelings. "idiot, stupid, whiny piece of sh1t".

Seriously why are you such a child about this?

So you posters that still whine about Trump's supposed faults need to factor in the forces continually opposing or "resisting" him, still to no effect.

2. You whiny posters with TDS need to be more specific with your opposition to Trump's actions, we oppose whiny threads with real facts and not "fake news", if you call posting real facts "sabotaging and vandalizing" you are not grounded in reality. Get used to Trump, his coup-de-gras will be replacing RBG with Amy Coney Barrett in his 2nd term, its coming....

All it really takes to decide if he is a moron is to listen to him speak verbatim. That’s it. That’s all you have to do.

While I can agree that Trump's delivery and word choices can be poor at times, his ideas are very sound for the most part. The problem with many on the left is they fall for an eloquent speaker with idiotic and untenable ideas. Obama was the most recent best example of this. His policies were borderline moronic, particularly on foreign policy, but many "smart" folks on the left were so enamored by his oratory style, they were bamboozled.

The fact that so many liberals fall for all the "free" stuff talk from Democrats, tells you all you need to know about just what deep thinkers they really are. When it comes to politics, their thoughts are puddle deep at best.

...about Trump himself.

Trump himself is an unprecedented, international embarrassment. This is not about his policies. This isn’t about how “hard right” he is on the issues like immigration. It’s about the idiot himself. Why can’t republicans be adults and acknowledge how much of a stupid, whiny, piece of shit he is?

Trump Just Fired Off A 9th Alabama Tweet, And Twitter Is Eating Him Alive

Remember they loved Dubya. One day, they'll pretend they hated Trump, too.

I think it’ll just come to the point that while they secretly know he is a dumb sack of shit, but they will continue to harp on the Clintons. It’s all they have. They are too much of pussies to admit how stupid they have been.

There's plenty of things I could criticize Trump about, but I typically don't.

Why, you ask? Because the TDS is far more entertaining.

What you do doesn’t matter. Trump is a still a complete moron at the end of the day.

Any moron can come up with the idea to build a wall on the southern border lol. It’s about the idiot himself. Why can’t republicans be adults and acknowledge how much of a stupid, whiny, piece of shit he is?

Trump Just Fired Off A 9th Alabama Tweet, And Twitter Is Eating Him Alive

He’s fighting fake news nazi like propaganda from the mainstream.. we have his back

All it really takes to decide if he is a moron is to listen to him speak verbatim. That’s it. That’s all you have to do.

Is this another one of those “billionaires are stupid, I’m smarter than billionaires” type of posts...posted by a user who will soon post yet another “I want more free shit” sort of threads?

Trump Just Fired Off A 9th Alabama Tweet, And Twitter Is Eating Him Alive

The only defense Trumper's here on USMB can come up with are direct attacks on any poster who criticizes or makes negative comments about Trump. When the message can not be attacked, attack the messenger.

These pathetic posters use insult posts and general whining to sabotage and vandalize threads. Only idiots and morons would not recognize that what they call an obsession of negativity with Trump has been a prevalent and normal political discourse in American politics for the entire history of America. In fact, it was used often in the earliest days of our history by our founders.

Here is an accounting of why Trump won in 2016, and why he is doing a good job running the US.
1. Trump won in 2016, he beat the Clinton machine, the MSM, the FBI, the DOJ, the CIA, the "Never Trump Republicans", and the "Russia Collusion Hoax" when Clinton had a 95% probability of winning and Trump had no way to 270 EC votes. So you posters that still whine about Trump's supposed faults need to factor in the forces continually opposing or "resisting" him, still to no effect.

2. You whiny posters with TDS need to be more specific with your opposition to Trump's actions, we oppose whiny threads with real facts and not "fake news", if you call posting real facts "sabotaging and vandalizing" you are not grounded in reality. Get used to Trump, his coup-de-gras will be replacing RBG with Amy Coney Barrett in his 2nd term, its coming....

3. Here is a list of Trump's many accomplishments, including keeping the economy growing at a sustainable rate, which will get Trump re-elected in 2020:

Promises Kept | President Donald J. Trump's Accomplishments

Lots of irrelevant stuff there, or misrepresentations.
But Trump's greatest accomplishment is dozens of ongoing investigations.
Also, first ever president to never have positive approval rating. yay!

1. Dozens of ongoing "investigations", aka "hoaxes"?? We'll soon see who has the more productive investigations, the House democrats, or Barr, Huber, Durham, and Horowitz. Horowitz already nailed Comey and recommended indictment, but Barr has even better crimes to hit Comey with, like FISA abuses. What do the dems have so far on Trump.......crickets.....crickets......crickets...impeach or STFU already.

2. A positive approval rating for Trump? Based on what? "biased MSM Polls"? The MSM has been 93% negative to Trump, so says a Harvard study:
Anti-Trump Media? 92% Of Coverage Of His Presidency Is Negative: Study | Investor's Business Daily

Have a look back on how accurate those MSM "polls" usually are:
