I didn't write this, but I fully agree with it.

Millions of Trump supporters feel this way about Donald J. Trump. "We don't care if the guy swears or how many times he's been married or who he voted for, or what his income tax return shows. We want the problems fixed. Yes he's an egomaniac, but we don't care. We know he's not a racist, or bad to women, or all the other things the liberal media is trying to label him with. We know he's raised a good family, and that says a lot about him.

The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere and Muslims are openly trying to hurt this country and make the civilized world adjust to them. We want it all fixed!

We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he fights with Megan Kelly, Rosie O'Donnell, and so many of the elected establishment.

We don't care that Romney, and the Bush family, and so many other top old and new Republicans refuse to endorse him for their own selfish reasons, and we know what they are. We don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorists, we don't care that he tried some businesses that didn't work out.

This country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegals, we are becoming a nation of victims, where every Tom, Ricardo and Hasid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don't even recognize the country we were born and raised in, AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED. And TRUMP is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.

We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic and Republican Party. We're angry about the Iran deal, the budget, treatment of Israel, military weakness, lobbyists, special interests, overpaid politicians with their self-serving bills and back room deals, trade deals, loss of jobs, manipulated economic numbers, businesses fleeing, and even the phoney pay for play Clinton Foundation.

Americans are no longer going to be fooled, and the movement is out to change the direction we're taking. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money holding him, he doesn't have political correctness restraining him, and all you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, he's flexible, and he's also not a politician. And he says he'll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.

Public service has become elected greed. This may be our only chance to have a non-politician, despite his flaws, try and correct the mess, at least for 4 years.

We must take the shot, because the consequences of putting Hillary Clinton in office are frightening.

There is a tidal wave happening, and it’s going to overcome much of what's happened to this country.

I stopped reading right there. I'm tired of Trump and his little baby whiny supporters always blaming someone or something else.

I've listened to Trump for decades. He loves the persona the media portrays of him. Even the bad stuff. He use to BRAG about. He loves it. He always has, and deep down he still does. He also loves the free media publicity he gets daily.
 
The whine of the trumpanzies....
 
I love how delusional these folks are.



Lol.

All true....he has many Blacks and Hispanics working for him and he and treats them well. We are in bad shape and hillary will fix......Nothing! She's 10 tons of dung in a 5'5" package...in five days Granny will be 69.

When Trump labeled her as Nasty and a puppet, the MSM got all butt hurt....but Trump is Right!

She is owned by Soros and Wall Street.

The whine of the trumpanzies....

No whining at all....just the facts and nothing but the facts. liberals Can't Handle the Facts!

Trump will fix nothing, but he will probably bankrupt the USA just like he did to his companies, four times.

Of course, he can probably get a loan from one of Putin's oligarchs to cover the cash shortfall when the banks and investors no longer want to touch our junk bonds.

BS a Plenty!

He has no real ties to anything Putin. He has 30 something other companies that are doing well.

Warren Buffet and other billionaires have bankrupt companies too....all big bucks guys do...get real!

Well, you may consider four bankruptcies a good qualification for president, but that puts you solidly in the minority. Which is where such notions belong.
 
The whine of the trumpanzies....

Have you ever given some consideration towards the idea that given the large numbers of people who are voting TRUMP that it might be a good idea to learn why?

They are uneducated angry white men, not a very good demographic to try to win with.

You've hit the nail on the head.

Trump did no care one iota, about the negative coverage he was getting, when he was winning the primaries.

Now that it looks like all his crap has come home to roost and it may cost him the election, suddenly the games rigged.

Oh the ever fragile and precarious minds of Trump and the Trumpettes.
 
Peoples who make the attempt to do democracy would do well to make the attempt to get to know their peers.

No, most of Trump supporters aren't my 'peers'.

I heard them, I've seen them, I've read their vicious lies and conspiracies.

I love my country, they do NOT. They are not my 'peers'.
 
What about his absurd, disastrous, or bigoted policy proposals?

Why don't you care about those?
 
I love how delusional these folks are.



Lol.

Our enemies are making fun of us! Quick, Trump, find us a safe space from their mean words!
 
Have you ever given some consideration towards the idea that given the large numbers of people who are voting TRUMP that it might be a good idea to learn why?

I have. But I have also concluded that a great number of them (perhaps most) are voting Trump because they can't stomach voting for Clinton. Thus, it may not be the case that large numbers of people support Trump; it's more the case that large numbers of people dislike Hillary and what she stands for more than they dislike Trump and what he stands for.

I empathize with the people who actually hold the view described in the OP (though I don't sympathize with them). But I don't have any reason to believe they are anything other than a very vocal minority.

Dont assume that just because Trump says something that he believes just that,or that his voters do, that's the first thing.

You dont understand Trump even skin deep.

Thus avoiding the whole question of how he got here, why he got all of those votes, which had to do with a whole lot of other things than Hillary.....plus as you will recall just about everyone said that almost anyone else but Trump would have an easier time beating Hillary yet the voters did not care enough about Hillary to vote for someone else.


No sir, I dont think you see the full picture.

I think the reasons why are sadly apparent. There is a subset of the population today who disdains intellectualism, discounts the value of knowledge, grasps for easy, lazy fixes to complex problems, and feels no shame in ignorance.

It is not that they are "bad" people, it is just the way this part of the culture has gone, for likely numerous reasons, and today we have a country where sharps can make a fortune selling wrist magnets or UFO detectors, where many genuinely fear the imminent
arrival of the anti-Christ, or perhaps an invasion by the UN. Maybe together.

The less knowledge people have, the easier it is to manipulate them. Trump was able to run a campaign, and get the support he has, on the basis of nonsense, lies, and distortions. It says quite a bit about his followers that they have not the resources or wit to see through them.

So your response is when he says something that not only does he not mean it... his voters understand that and don't believe it either by default?

Are you ****ing serious?

Apparently Trump supporters also don't seem to care that he has no policy plans, no clue how to implement them and most glaringly no clue how to govt works.

Trump's entire platform is that he will hire the best people but his train wreck of a campaign has proven that he can't even hire marginally competent people.

When Trump 1st bust on the scene his followers said the liked him because he told the truth. That he didn't pull punches to get voters. That he was brutally honest. But now? He's saying things that HE DON'T even believe. And his supporters know he's lying and doesn't mean what he's saying.. But they still support him.

There's something else going on here. I think we all know what's it's about.
