What Is It That The Left Just Don't Get About Trump?

[rightwinger]

The fact that Trump is still a viable candidate shows the political fracture in this country

One side is pure the other side is evil

What I don’t understand is why Republicans have not weaned themselves from Trump.
They have had multiple chances to cut ties to Trump and still cower before him
He hurts the party in election after election.

How can Republicans still support Trump after Jan 6?

 

[surada]

Clinton had sexual relations with interns.

He didn't brag about it or attack them and call them names.

What you don’t get is…..anytime a leftist detests a person, said person is amazing.

Trump: GOP will become 'worker's party' under me

Under a President Donald Trump, the Republican Party would become a different one, a broad populist coalition focused on workers who have gone too long without a raise and on social programs the party establishment has long seen as anathema to its long-term success.

What people across the spectrum "just don't get about Trump" is how such an obvious con man can fool so many people, and how such an obvious con man can get so many politicians to sell their soul.

So it's not about him. It's about them.

History will condemn those who supported and pandered to Trump more than they will condemn Trump.

Yes, exactly.

No. He really didn’t. Trump was frankly incompetent.

Let’s take an easy one. Sanctuary Cities. Trump said he would charge those who ran such cities with crimes. He would cut their federal funding.

Trump ICE pick: Politicians who run sanctuary cities should be charged with crimes

President Trump’s pick to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Tuesday called for a crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities, saying politicians who help run them should be charged…

Nobody was charged. Why? There is no law that says you must assist anyone. There is no law that requires local cops to assist Feds. There is no law because it would be unconstitutional. It would be an unfunded mandate. And the only way you could require it would be to federalize the cops.

Court case after court case was heard. A dozen said no Trump could not. One said he could. But it was overturned later.

Trump didn’t bring them to heel. He screwed the pooch. Why? Trump doesn’t listen. He made you all feel good pretending he was going after them. In the end. Nothing happened. Nothing changed.

Trump promised a lot. He delivered nothing but propaganda.

He did pretty damned well for being incompetent, far better than Biden where people can no longer afford gas and groceries, evictions are at an all time high, foreclosures are at an all time high, credit card debt is at an all time high, and withdraws from retirement accounts are at an all time high.

Trump was the worst possible President to have during Covid.

It cost him the election

It did cost him the election. Fast forward to now, it turns out that we would have gotten over Covid much more quicker and with less economic downturn if we had followed Republican policies.

Unemployment was high when Trump left office. Shortages and rationing was the rule. It was at 6.3%.

The economy Trump handed off to President Biden: 25.5 million workers—15.0% of the workforce—hit by the coronavirus crisis in January

The official unemployment rate was 6.3% in January—matching the maximum unemployment rate of the early 2000s downturn—and the official number of unemployed workers was 10.1 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). However, these official numbers are a vast undercount of the...

Toilet Paper? Remember the shortages?

Remember that? Or is it conveniently forgotten?

it was a bad administration for cops. In 2020 alone twice as many cops died as in 2022. So Biden has cut the number of cops dying in half.

So what exactly did Trump accomplish again? Executive Orders that were overturned. Cutting taxes on the rich?

 

[pknopp]

Bill Clinton was publicly contrite and NEVER trashed Monica Lewinsky, you fucking moron.

He had others do it for him.

Even as Trump is being indicted in who knows how many different investigations and charges, Trump is far, far ahead of any of his primary opponents in every single state. It's not even close. I know of no state where someone polls better than Trump. None. Zero, zip, nodda, and that even includes the primaries in liberal states. And, in polling for the general election, Trump is basically tied with Biden. Sometimes polls show Biden ahead, sometimes polls show Trump ahead. In either case, the needle doesn't move much and is usually within the polls margin of error and, we know that with the electoral college, a 50/50 tie favors Trump.

So, what is it that the left just don't get or understand about Trump?

Do they really believe that half of the country are just pure MAGA head insurrectionists, literally tens of millions of people, if not over 100 million?

What is Trump's appeal to the masses?

Are the left ignoring something that is appealing to half the country, those tens of millions of people?

Should the left start understanding this more rather than just labeling half the country MAGA's?

Is ignoring the true meaning of Trump's appeal to half the country going to come back and bite them in the ass, as it did in 2016?

I'm a big believer that the left just don't understand why it is that people vote for Trump and that this easy dismissal of his voters as being nothing but "MAGA" is rather blind of them and that they need to understand Trump voters more. In a way, it has nothing to do with Trump, it has to do with why voters want to vote for Trump. The left don't even try to understand this. It's easier for them to believe that all of Trump's supporters are MAGA.

Instead of complaining of what you insist "the Left" doesn't know about Trump, why not tell us the 3 things about him that "the Left" should know?

The entire country has been hoping for a viable third party to boot both Republicans and Democrats out.

What happened to I have the power to decide? I have decided that Biden is a socialist.

I thought Bush43 was the 'Decider'?

The left project with nearly every breath. Their subconscious recognizes they're a brain-washed cult, so in turn every conservative must be Trump-washed.

A great example for their accusations is they want to believe we think the election was "stolen" because Trump said so. Yeah and sure, we rushed out for COVID shots because Trump said to as well (COUGH).

Naw he just used the power of his office to introduce Monica to a cigar. You're about a hypocritical POS.

The media has trained the sheeple to see Trump as the sum of all their fears.

Theirs is an emotional reaction and not a rational one

You know the old saying -- sometimes a cigar is just a dildo that you smoke after using.

Right...because at that age Monica was just a little girl.
