It's a mistake to pretend that you're better than you are?
Oh, dear...
I stand by that statement
Politicians of the emotional persuasion of say Gregory or yourself or Skippy
Present to the world a persona of the perfect man
Americans are pretty cynical
They ain't buying that BS
Particularly when they detect the seething resentful bitter hateful vibration
That lurks beneath this facade
Trump does the exact opposite
He's a goofy guy
He talks at the level of a grade 4 student
He deliberately messes things up
Because he understands that this is what humans are like
He never pretended he was a saint
He likes to hang out with KFC
He admits he likes the women
He likes his gold toilet
He's always teasing provoking
He doesn't scald the American people
He just likes to tell stories that entertain the American people
In this way he enriches their lives
How does Elizabeth Warren or Joe biden plan to add value to the lives of real Americans
By being boring chodes
Appearing on TV or Twitter and boring them to death
By being nice guys
Americans don't want nice guys for friends
And they certainly don't want them for leaders
Mr Trump's based his entire brand on being the best, dear. Gold toilets, biggest private yacht, fake Renoirs, the lot. He only ran for Prez to add more cache to the brand.
He promised the world: a big beautiful wall - not a fence -
that he'd get Mexico to pay for. If there's one thing Mr Trump knows, it's how to build things and get others to pay.
Bugger me I totally forgot about that...
Quote:Repeal and replace Obamacare - only Mr Trump could do this because he knows how to work with Republicans, believe me.
Fix the mess in North Korea - created by Obama, of course, because he couldn't negotiate his way out of a wet paper bag. Mr Trump knows how East Asian communist dictators work. Only he can save America from certain nuclear annihilation.
Create jobs for all Americans. The unemployment figures are rigged. Mr Trump will create jobs just by being in the White House. In fact, his daughter Ivanka just created 17 million jobs (a little more than all US jobs created in the past three years, but you get the idea).
Mr Trump will be too busy making America great again to play golf, you'll see. World leaders will treat the White House with respect again. We'll win so much we'll get tired of winning.
Highest ever ratings in TV history, biggest-selling book, a landslide erection victory, biggest inauguration crowd ever, etc, etc, etc.
Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
I really think he continues to get support because people see this incompetent, unhealthy, stupid failure of a man who can't tell the truth and I think it gives them hope that without changing anything about themselves, they can become a billionaire.
But, and this is where Trump rhetoric comes in, this hasn't happened, not because of them or anything they've done, but because of immigrants or the woke left wanting equality for everyone, not an advantage for them.
The more Scoot tries to justify his ever-changing standards on Trump, the more the above starts to stand out.

Trump doesn't have an ideological position
Have you stopped to ask why?
Everyone has an ideological position. Be it based on their personal morality or because their parents passed it down to them.
Trump does have an ideological position, it's just not the traditional left or right, liberal or conservative, it's simply, "Trump winning".
He doesn't have to actually win, he just has to say he's winning. And he'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way.
This is how he's run his businesses and how he crafts his persona/presidency.
When he can't fake he's winning, he lies about his opponents "losing", or being low IQ, ugly, blah blah blah take your pick.
This is what is at the core of the man and it should terrify his supporters.
