What I hate about Trump is his utter obliviousness to his own behavior. He never admits he's wrong.
In this time in history, there is no reason to apologize because it will never be enough for some people. Look at Kevin Hart, to name just one example. It's not the fault of Trump that others have created this environment where apologizing invites more attacks.
He feels justified in slandering someone as being a liar just because they said something that hurt his feelings, even though it's true.
Most of the time those fucks are truly lying, but if you only listen to other TDS infected people, you think every situation is Trump lying and not the other people are lying or wrong. And 99% of the time it's Trump counterpunching, not hitting first. Find me a time when Trump attacked a person unprovoked.
He will throw anyone under the bus without a second thought if they are no longer useful to him.
One of my serious gripes with Trump is how he bad mouths former people who worked for him. But it doesn't bother me that much. Pay them more for the trouble. That's a good use of tax money in my book.
He is a pathological liar, because as long as the lie helps him, he thinks there is nothing wrong with it.
You don't know what he thinks, so stop pretending you do. He's a bullshitter and entertainer. Words are means to an end. He's a salesman. He talks stuff up, he exaggerates, he embellishes. Trump supporters understand this which is why we take him seriously, not literally. The left can only understand the literal, which is why they take him literally, not seriously. This inability to take anything not a face value is why the left ends up looking like fools when Trump tweets out a photo of him putting a medal on a dog. No one but the left thinks he wanted people to think he actually put a medal on a dog.
You are either with him, or you're against him.
In this day in age that's basically a true statement.
He pits people against each other for his own ends.
No he doesn't and you're an idiot for saying he does. Give me an example. It's the left saying to black people you're being oppressed by white people and their privilege. It's the left saying to women you're being oppressed by men and their toxic masculinity. It's the left saying to poor people you're being oppressed by rich people. How do you not see this?
I don't trust him, because he lacks insight and discipline to moderate his boorish behavior
Once again you're playing mind reader and proclaiming as fact he has no insight. By the way, some of us, myself included, like the boorish behavior. We're tired of playing nice.
I think Trump is astonished that he's getting shit for his shenanigans with Ukraine, because to him the idea that we are giving them $300m should at least entitle him to ask for a measilly little favor...
Once again there you go playing mind reader saying he's astonished. And for the record, I don't think he is. There's nothing the left won't attack him over. So for those of us on the right it's just business as usual. And you are wholly disingenuous, sniveling piece of shit because you know damn well Trump said "do
us a favor," not "me." Us as in the country.
So it's a matter of degree. Obviously you disagree, but I think Obama had good self insight to his own egoism, and could keep in check when appropriate.
So are you saying hiding one's flaws is enough to convince you they don't exist? And Obama didn't hide his egotism for shit. I can't tell you how many stories I've read about him being concerned about his legacy. And how Trump's election was a rejection for him. And how he is anti Bernie because that would also be a rejection of him. The guy is the biggest narcissist to ever set foot in the Oval Office and you think he kept it in check? Are you blind?
I don't see the same issue you do with race relations, so in my perspective Obama did about a good job as anyone could as President.
Of course not because again, you seem to be blind. Tacit support of BLM. Taking the side of the people against the police. Telling black people they are victims of discrimination. The left wants to blame southern racists for Trump being elected. But they didn't vote for Obama anyways. Hillary lost because states that voted for Obama twice wanted nothing to do with his successor.
but perhaps he is the right guy for job after all
WHICH IS WHY WE VOTED FOR HIM AND STILL SUPPORT HIM. We're not looking for a pastor. Or a role model. Or a guidance counselor. We wanted an executive. All the pearl clutching nonsense you mentioned means nothing because it's irrelevant to whether he can do the job. I don't care about the wives. I don't care about the affairs. I do care about keeping the country out of more wars, confronting China and reducing unemployment.
And you need to consider that some people think he is as bad as you think he is too. But still think the other side is worse. Trump never attacked high school kids going to a pro life rally. Or attacked a federal judge by bringing 30 year accusers out of the woodwork. Or made up a race hoax in Chicago. The people who attack Trump are so much worse. And there's only one of Trump. There's tens of millions of people cheering on those things I mentioned. I don't want you fuckers anywhere near the White House.
