The policy and politics of Trumpism

Bazza said:

I can't speak for others here but I would rather budget the time I do have to post on a forum in other areas that I care for more....like cars, pets, music, photos, or sports. I only have so much time to spend on forums and politics is not that high a priority. There's only a few regulars here anyway so there must be others who feel the same.




I was talking specifically about the Trump thread. I don't see anyone's opinions being changed in this thread. :wink:

Those who voted for him are not the ones who are upset.

This is what I posted:

If you are upset he got elected.....you can point your finger at our political system. And the media. Both of which have been royally screwing America for decades now.






Wasn't talking about anyone outside our forum. Here's what I posted:

If anything is to be gleaned.....it's about how we treat each other while agreeing and disagreeing on topics and news events.

That said, I do appreciate reading everyone's views and respect there are many other opinions than just mine.

I've said this many times before. All I want is a President who will solve our debt/spending "crisis", get us out of all the foreign conflicts, and fix the issues at home. I'm a big believer in Matthew 7:5.

thing is, all of those things are pretty much in the purview of congress.

That's not true either. He's a PR nightmare and borderline psychotic. Knowing he has his finger on the button terrifies me after some of things he's said and done his first year in office. He should be working quietly to defuse the NK situation instead of publically exacerbating it.

I stand corrected. There are some who voted for him who are also upset. Not too surprising because of his crazy tweets! I was talking about the vast majority. FWIW, everyone I talk to who are supporters are OK with everything for the most part except the tweet stuff.

One thing that grates on me...I've got GOP friends who go to Bible study weekly, were extremely upset over what a lecher Clinton was, couldn't believe Obama was Christian because whatever, and have been waving their moral superiority for years.

Now look what's got them excited and happy to support.

I asked one buddy with that mindset...which value do you most hope Trump inspires in our nation's youth, lust, greed, envy, vengeance, gluttony, bearing false witness, or just being mean as a snake?

But it's ok as long as you are holding a Bible while doing or saying those things. He's forgiven.

i think it was in psalms where there was a little ditty about the awesomeness of hooking up with porn stars while your third trophy wife is recovering from the birth of your child.

Well, at least he didn't have the porn star's hubby killed like David did. I'm just sayin'.
