Yes, Trump did a good job with the economy from 2017-2019 but 2020 onwards soured me completely on a Trump 2024 run.
He cucked to Fauci and Birx on COVID lockdowns and on the cancer that is Operation Warpspeed.
So many of his own supporters have lost their jobs and livelihoods because of Trump's shitty "vaxxes". Trump still has the gall to say he is proud of the vaxxes even after he was booed at an Alabama rally. He recently bragged about the vaxxes by saying "I am proud of the word that I am not allowed to say".
He failed to stop the BLM riots and was afraid to invoke the Insurrection Act.
He failed to stop election fraud even though he openly claimed it would happen months before the election.
He didn't pardon any people who HE told to come on that clown day in January.
He didn't pardon Julian Assange or Edward Snowden.
Many of his hires from the beginning have been abysmal but the ones that stand out in horribleness are Jerome Adams, his surgeon general and his attorney general William Barr. Adams is currently still engaging in COVID hysteria while pushing equity wokeness. Barr refused to look at any election fraud cases and now constantly attacks Trump and his supporters.
The Trump we got from 2020-2022 is a weak man that I am tired of making rationalizations and excuses for.
In 2024, we must move forward with a new pick not backwards.
So far I am leaning DeSantis 2024 but if someone better shows up, then I will switch over.
Still seeing calls of Trump 2024 from otherwise smart people like Robert Barnes and Richard Baris just utterly disappoints me.
The cults of personality that have developed around hating Trump irrationally or loving Trump irrationally are both pathetic.
The calls for Trump 2024 is mostly a case of "all we got."
Name anyone that the Republicuck might put forward that isn't a POS backstabber. DeSantis? I like him, and he's doing a great job with Florida, but then the issue is sacrificing Florida to some RINO or worse to roll the dice on a Presidency run.
The short list is who? The same losers from 2016?
All Rand Paul does is roast Fauci in front of cameras and a microphone but has been completely ineffective in mustering any kind of counterattack for lying under oath.
Cruz is a fucking snake, keeping his "based bills" in his hand until, oops, the left controls all the branches of government and they have zero chance of even making it out of committee. With power he's like a confused 9 year old with his dick in his hand.
Rubio is DOA thanks to Red Flag laws. Kasich is also DOA his write-in for McCain. Christie will probably be DOA due to his next chocolate cheesecake. Another run by a Bush? Man, I hope so simply for the memes, but lol.
Newcomers:
Gaetz? Not enough Congressional experience. At least the deep state planted Obama as a senator for a token 2 years before pushing him forward.
Pence? No way, not a chance. People that hate Trump will never vote for him for being his VP, and people that like Trump will never vote for him for certifying fake electors. Although I'd enjoy ads from his competition consisting completely of him being pals with Pelosi.
Tucker? No, for the same reasons that Limbaugh never ran. At least Limbaugh wrote his own material. I'd probably vote for his monologue writing team, though.
This is why "no one is coming to save you". Trump didn't realize we were shooting our wad with him. Last moonshot to save the republic and he didn't have the guts or wits to get it done and he let us down, period.
It is smarter to take a shot with DeSantis in 2024 than run a 78 year old Trump for the third time.
Trump supercharges turnout against him and makes the race close enough where mail in ballot fraud can be used to tilt the outcome of the race.
The media will be unable to create a Desantis Derangement Syndrome that is equal in power to Trump Derangement Syndrome.
They already tried to do so with the "Don't Say Gay" bill lies and that he hates Disney and it just didn't work.
DeSantis doesn't take the media bait like Trump does.
He generally pushes right wing policy that has support of 70 percent of the populace and he frames it so Democrats and their media are forced to defend the 30 percent position in order to oppose him.
It is much more strategic than Trump's outbursts.
DeSantis doesn't have Trump's personal baggage either.
TDS afflicted individuals hate Trump mainly over his personal life (womanizing, statements that the media lied about) and now J6. Rarely have I heard these clowns mention any policies.
DeSantis doesn't have nearly the same personal life baggage or any connection to J6 like Trump does.
Trump has shown exactly ZERO changes that would demonstrate that he's learned from his failings in his first term. He still begs for approval from the mainstream media. He has shown no ability to pick good people to fill the important appointed positions in Washington and another Trump term will likely be more chaos and leaks and stonewalling. He has not demonstrated any better understanding of foreign policy.
Also if Trump ran in 2024 he would spend most of his time talking about 2020 election. Also I agree about the blm riots he should’ve invoked the insurrection act. As I’ve mentioned before I’m black and thought his pandering came off as democrat style pandering because I’m black pilled on the point that the black vote will at most be 15% for Republicans and he thought he would get a lot more but you can’t ignore your base. I hear that he lost white male support but others say he didn’t. Honestly talking about jobs and business investment helps everyone. Hispanics shifting red is encouraging though.
I know it’s easy to say in hindsight but I wish he had seen that media was using covid to attack him and Fauci was feeding the hysteria
Trump picked Milley to be his top Army general despite Mattis warning Trump that he was an idiot and a snake. But because Trump was having a petty feud with Mattis at the time, that warning only elevated Milley in Trump's eyes. Milley was a self own, and yet another example of why Trump should not be given another term.
So far I am leaning DeSantis 2024 but if someone better shows up, then I will switch over.
I've said it before, and I am not going to stop saying that DeSantis needs to stay at the state level. The federal government is too corrupt to be fixed by just replacing one man. Starting from the state level and working up is the only way to fix it.
He also forced the money printers to start going overtime. ZeroHedge, rightly, wouldn't shut up about the debt-to-GDP ratio in real-time as the long-term economy kept trending downwards.
Democrats and MM didn't talk about it because it's political bread and butter, and they always want to do even worse. But that, and things like not getting the tax cuts to be permanent for non-corporations, sucks.
He fucked both his supporters and America really hard on the way out. Populist movement probably won't have another success for decades; huge opportunity waste.
Which is the only reason there are no restrictions anymore.
And still you're complaining about it? Come on.
Trump still has the gall to say he is proud of the vaxxes even after he was booed at an Alabama rally. He recently bragged about the vaxxes by saying "I am proud of the word that I am not allowed to say".
And he's right. The number of people who are happy with the Covid vaccines vastly outweigh the tiny number who fanatically hate them, and who despite wanting freedom of choice for themselves regarding vaccines, would like to deny it to others.
He failed to stop election fraud
Because it wasn't there in significant enough amounts to alter the outcome. All the shady stuff they did was legal, unfortunately.
He didn't pardon Julian Assange or Edward Snowden.
And yet the chances of him doing that are vastly greater than DeSantis doing it. I'll be happy if he proves me wrong.
The cults of personality that have developed around hating Trump irrationally or loving Trump irrationally are both pathetic.
Considering that you called Trump "the orange buffoon", echoing the childish attacks of the wokies, I'm not sure you have much standing to make this comment.
Which is the only reason there are no restrictions anymore.
When did this happen? Or are you just lying to cope with the fact that you've been pro-experimenting-on-unwitting-and-unwilling-humans even though the jabs were never fit for purpose and should have never been given an EUA?
Vaccine mandates still remain at the federal level for federal employees, contractors, anyone applying for citizenship or permanent residency and health care workers.
Operation Warspeed is why these mandates are able to exist today.
Without it, so many people would not be forced to take this unnecessary shitty vax.
VAERS data says otherwise and you refuse to accept the fact that the vaccine is shitty and that mandating it has harmed too many people.
Trump could have stopped election fraud by simply not engaging in a national lockdown in the first place. 15 days to flatten the spread were the pretext for mass mail in ballots.
We won't even know if DeSantis would pardon them or not until he is in a position to do so.
I don't attack Trump irrationally like the leftist clowns with TDS. The only few times I have ever called him an orange buffoon is when he praises the shitty vaxxes like on the day when he did at the Alabama rally.
No one who could possibly be President is going to pardon Snowden or Assange, though I still agree with your criticism's of Trump overall. I'd also add the First Step Act and Platinum Plan. I hate that Trump tried to normalize "putting black people in jail for committing crimes is racist" among the right. I don't think anyone but Trump could have gotten away with that, either. His charisma and showmanship allow him to get away with that kind of crap.
VAERS data says otherwise and you refuse to accept the fact that the vaccine is shitty and that mandating it has harmed too many people.
I didn't say it should be mandated though. I said that it's good that it's out there for those who want to take it. And I suppose you have to commit yourself to the idea that it's bad even for 80+ year olds, even though just being sane on the matter would make you a whole lot more persuasive when arguing against the tyrannical use of the vaccine.
Trump could have stopped election fraud by simply not engaging in a national lockdown in the first place.
He had no authority to shut down anything to begin with.
We won't even know if DeSantis would pardon them or not until he is in a position to do so.
Correct. But DeSantis is clearly more establishment than Trump, and the establishment hates them. That is why I am skeptical.
I don't attack Trump irrationally like the leftist clowns with TDS. The only few times I have ever called him an orange buffoon is when he praises the shitty vaxxes like on the day when he did at the Alabama rally.
That is irrational, and using the same vocabulary to boot.
The number of people who are happy with the Covid vaccines vastly outweigh the tiny number who fanatically hate them
Yeah, that’s what happens when speaking out against the experimental injections gets you canceled. Might as well point to Kim’s approval rating in NK, too.
and who despite wanting freedom of choice for themselves regarding vaccines, would like to deny it to others.
What the hell does this even mean? Pointing out that the experimental injections were not properly tested, and that big pharma is undeniably dishonest and evil, does not equal “denying people their right to choose”. Outlawing prescription of a completely safe and effective treatment - ivermectin - was a denial of choice. Firing people who didn’t want the experimental injections was a denial of choice. How do you have this shit so inverted? Are you really this fucking stupid?
Yeah, that’s what happens when speaking out against the experimental injections gets you canceled. Might as well point to Kim’s approval rating in NK, too.
So just to be clear, you actually think that in the absence of 'cancellation', most people would say that it's a bad thing that the vaccines were developed at all?
Pointing out that the experimental injections were not properly tested, and that big pharma is undeniably dishonest and evil, does not equal “denying people their right to choose”.
But that was not the argument though. The argument was a blanket condemnation of the vaccine, which without a shred of doubt help some people. Now supposing that they are not 'properly' tested, whatever definition of properly you decide to adopt. Since vaccines, like all medicine, are about cost and benefit, that in no way precludes them being a very good thing for people who are at very high risk of COVID, like 80+ people - as even with all the uncertainty, they'd still do vastly more good than even potential harm.
To claim otherwise is to be fanatical.
Outlawing prescription of a completely safe and effective treatment - ivermectin - was a denial of choice.
And did you see me supporting that? I also take issue with your claim that ivermectin is 'effective'. It's certainly not demonstrated to be. But you may as well take it, since it does no harm anyway. See? Benefit vs. harm. Here's a potential benefit vs. basically zero harm. So take it!
Firing people who didn’t want the experimental injections was a denial of choice.
Yes, and so is "people who actually want the vaccine shouldn't be able to get them".
So why does anyone still want Trump 2024?
Yes, Trump did a good job with the economy from 2017-2019 but 2020 onwards soured me completely on a Trump 2024 run.
He cucked to Fauci and Birx on COVID lockdowns and on the cancer that is Operation Warpspeed.

He failed to stop election fraud even though he openly claimed it would happen months before the election.
He didn't pardon any people who HE told to come on that clown day in January.
He didn't pardon Julian Assange or Edward Snowden.
Many of his hires from the beginning have been abysmal but the ones that stand out in horribleness are Jerome Adams, his surgeon general and his attorney general William Barr. Adams is currently still engaging in COVID hysteria while pushing equity wokeness. Barr refused to look at any election fraud cases and now constantly attacks Trump and his supporters.

It is probable that Trump did attempt to invoke the insurrection act and was literally told “no” by our woke military leadership.
Trump picked Milley to be his top Army general despite Mattis warning Trump that he was an idiot and a snake. But because Trump was having a petty feud with Mattis at the time, that warning only elevated Milley in Trump's eyes.

That’s true but despite the screeching the media would’ve done I feel that he would’ve been looked at more favorably had he done it

I hate that Trump tried to normalize "putting black people in jail for committing crimes is racist" among the right. I don't think anyone but Trump could have gotten away with that, either. His charisma and showmanship allow him to get away with that kind of crap.
I despise the Platinum Plan and the First Step Act.
I forgot to include it so thanks for bringing it up!
Trump also normalized supporting LGBT on the right. Something that doesn't sit well with me at all.
The man's charisma with the right allowed him to get away with so many non standard positions.
I didn't say it should be mandated though. I said that it's good that it's out there for those who want to take it. And I suppose you have to commit yourself to the idea that it's bad even for 80+ year olds, even though just being sane on the matter would make you a whole lot more persuasive when arguing against the tyrannical use of the vaccine.
