And you knew it was a lie when you posted it, but you did it anyway. It always amuses me when I see someone appoint themselves as an expert on my life, then pontificate on whether things happened or not, or what I am thinking about any particular subject, because they ALWAYS wind up making a blithering fool of themselves while doing so. Just like you did. ---

**Clothahump** why do you almost always choose to respond to the posts that insult you rather than the posts that try and engage you in reasonable discussion? ---

**Clothahump** , you and I have not had much interaction over the 16 odd years (!) we have both been members here. I have read your posts on occasion and rarely found anything that I agreed with; but so what, there are a bunch of people on this board I don’t agree with. While I am sure we could find common ground on a number of issues, I am also sure that you and I would disagree on most. But now I am really curious; I do not know any Republicans who believe the current President is competent. I do know people who still believe he was the best choice for our country and support him 100%, but they don’t believe he is a good president. A subset of the list posted by **Gyrate** above are the reasons why they are disappointed with him. You are the first person who If have interacted with who I believe is sincere in their admiration for the man. > [@Clothahump](#): > > \ You look at 8 months of Trump being in office and the good that he is accomplishing, and all you can do is call him insane and incompetent. > > Liberalism truly is a mental disorder. You people truly do live in fantasy worlds that bear no resemblance to reality. I really would like to know what good things he has accomplished in the last 8 months, because I am not seeing it. When I look at his track record, I do not see him making deals for this country. I do not see him accomplishing much at all. So I sincerely want to understand your point of view. You and I both know that after you post the list, people here are going to dismiss it, deride it, contradict it and probably insult you. But I won’t. I probably won’t agree with you, and will in fact probably read what you wrote and think to myself that you are the one living in a fantasy world. But still, I am sincerely looking for some understanding of the divisions between us in the (probably vain) hope that sometime we will have a leader in this country elected by and representing a majority rather than a plurality of voters. Please post the list… ---

Is this a compliment ? Because flat-out lying is exactly what your hero Trump does all the time and everything he does is apparently bigly good. > [@Gyrate](#): > > Well, in that case I look forward to your list of good things Trump has done to compare and contrast with post #6239. It’s right there on post #6246, after words “…fool of yourself.” And he didn’t leave a single thing out. ---

> [@Happy\_Fun\_Ball](#): > > I really would like to know what good things he has accomplished in the last 8 months, because I am not seeing it… Well, let’s start with getting Gorsuch on the Supreme Court. That is a massively good thing. And he’s appointing people to the lower courts. He might even get another SCOTUS appointment. We can only hope. Booming economy - when he was elected, Dow-Jones was at 18000 and change. Today it’s up over 22000. I sincerely doubt we would be seeing numbers like that if Hillary had won. Illegal immigration is down significantly. Pulled us out of the Paris Accords. That’ll do for a start. There’s still a load of stuff to be done. He needs to take a harder line on several things, such as getting rid of Obamacare, finish building the wall, etc. But so far, so good. ---

FINISH building the wall! That’s a fucking riot. You should get an HBO special! While we’re here, how about those 8 years of Obama fuckups, care to elaborate? ---
