He's getting more active again, doing the media rounds and the like. How's everyone feeling about the dude?
I will say, despite his bumbling retard routine, I find him ridiculously charismatic if nothing else. Even if I don't agree with him on something, I can often appreciate how he says it. I've criticized him for it for years, but I just wish he'd be a bit more clear, so people who aren't in the know actually understand what he's talking about, but perhaps it's part of his act. Say something true, but in such a way that it just seems stupid, get the media to focus on it. Seems to have worked for him for many years.
Did people listen to his recent interview with Kristen Welker? She did the standard "get Trump" routine and, as per tradition, largely just got Trumped.
I wish we had better options, but I personally think Trump is far from the worst.
So, yeah, how are people feeling about Trump?
Haven't been paying much attention, but my opinion since 2021 hasn't changed:
He's not perfect, but he's definitely the best we've had in so long its not even funny.
Everyone else is largely a meme or a snake, or both. Plus I appreciate what he's done and has been doing, even if there's some failures and bad decisions.
His behavior in 2020 with the whole pro-vaccine rhetoric, the January 6th bait and switch on his supporters, inability to stop the fraud, and still having so many snakes working under him by the time he was out (largely thanks to said snakes), and his overall behavior changes disappointed me, but there's a lot of people who did not expect how bad things would really get in that year (and just in general with the establishment).
Trump was still too naive even after 3-4 years; hopefully he's learned something as a person can only be bitten by snakes so many times before he either succumbs to the venom, or builds up enough resistance to crush them without fear, and I'm concerned it might end up being the former than the latter.
Which is a damn shame. In theory Vivek is kind of great. In practice, uh, I'm glad you're there saying what you're saying, but as far as the office goes...you can fuck right off, dude.
