This. A good friend of mine who’s spent much of his life in a small conservative town in the Midwest, and also happens to be Hispanic, readily acknowledges that Trump is a flaming ass clown. But he also thought that he would be better than Hillary, and liked that he talked tough about China (this gentleman has also spent much life working on a factory floor).
I guess you haven’t been to thedonald reddit.
I’ve had one Trump supporter try to explain to me that Trump isn’t really lying… Trump actually believes the things he says.
You haven’t visited R/Sino on Reddit or Democratic Underground.
Or Free Republic, where the Real Stupid thrives.
Off the top of my head I can name 3 diehard liberals who got shitcanned this decade: Diogenes the Cynic, Brainglutton, & Budget Player Cadet.
Have you noticed that all of the “independent” fact checkers take the side of the liberals? The liberal media, “fact checkers” and democrats are making up lies, exaggerate and twisting words to attack the President. He is working without accepting any salary to make America strong. I don’t really pay attention to the criticism and things like his so called lies. Maybe the award wasn’t called “Man of the Year” but he was honored. Somebody could have said man of the year or something close during the ceremony and that’s what he remembered.
Okay, this isn’t me speaking. But I see things along those lines all the time on Facebook. The first line is a paraphrase of something someone said recently.
He sure does accept a lot of emoluments tho.
Hey, the man’s gotta eat.
Yes. I think it’s because the “liberals” have the more factual facts! Which White House aide was it wgo bragged that R’s make up their own facts?
Maybe if you did pay attention you’d be more aware of his lies!
As for “working without salary,” it’s funny to see someone swoon over that. To hear him talk, the salary is a pittance compared with his business income, so he joins many rich men who decline salary for their government service — including Presidents Hoover and Kennedy.
But let’s not worry too much about Trump’s financial sacrifice to serve as President. :smack: Just the simple act of forcing Secret Service to pay standard room rates at his properties — where they are required to be to protect him — has earned him far more than his foregone salary.
Do we need all the acronyms? :mad: What’s this one — Onanists Anonymous?
“One America News Network”. The news source for people who think Fox News is too left wing.
(I’m sure the additional “n” was an intentional gag.)
WNN -“Wankers News Network”
septimus, you got whooshed, man. [read his 2nd paragraph]
Emoluments and Darvon are fantastic together!
They believe that they are in on the lie. That Trump is lying to us, but not to them.
Which is easy to disprove. For example, when Trump repeatedly promised that Mexico would “pay for the wall,” that lie was intended to please his racist followers, who thrilled to the thought of their Big Stwong Bully intimidating those little brown people into forking over cash. The lie may have annoyed liberals, but it clearly was supposed to fool Trump’s voters (and did).
When the lie was shown to be a lie–by 3 1/3 years of inaction on the ‘Mexico forking over cash’ front–the joke was decidedly NOT on the liberals.
There are dozens, if not hundreds, of such examples. Trump’s lies are definitely intended to fool his own followers–and they do just that with regularity.
But the followers have to tell themselves ‘he’s really lying to the libruls and not to us’----otherwise they would be exposed to their own eyes as chumps.
Chumps for Trump.
You cannot con an honest man.
No, but you can smother him with a relentless barrage of lies and conspiracy theories and baseless accusations. You can sicken him by making everything to do with government–including voting–dirty-by-association.
You can get him to throw up his hands and check out—leaving the voting to your own (conned) followers.
I’ve seen Snopes fact-check and disprove several false claims about Trump.
More “liberals”, according to the MAGAts.
