To quote John McEnroe, "You can't be serious?"
1) if you think I can't back up my assertions, you haven't read many of my posts. They are among the most well documented on DP
2) if you think I can't level Donald Trump for the fraud he is... wow, that is one is shooting fish in a barrel.
I suggest that we have some projection going on here, as it is you that is working from "feelings" rather than a rational foundation, but let me make my case, then you can make yours.
May I remind you I took issue with your statement that Donald Trump is doing all these great things for the American people (see your quote below). I, in essence, countered with the notion he had you hoodwinked.
Donald Trump is a fraud. So, let's make the case:
Let's start with the USA Today endorsement of "Not Trump" in 2016.
USA TODAY's Editorial Board: Trump is 'unfit for the presidency'
Let's bring to the stand an ex-Republican nominee for President, Mitt Romney
...and, then let's make the case that he is a gross narcissist....

You know, people that blindly follow fraudulent leaders are generally thought to be a cult. Let's make that case:
Trump is fundamentally a cult leader. He matches at least 40 of the 50 cult leader attributes described herein:

Sorry pal, I have plenty of good reason to say what I said. That begs the question "Do you have an rational reason to say what you said?", which was
"
Please, make the case. Show us evidence that your statement is evidence based rather than some "feelings" based response you can not substantiate. Show us that you are not a member of the Donald Trump cult, but actually have an intelligent foundation for the statement you made.
The floor is yours....

All that work gathering links to...opinion pieces.
Romney's an idiot who, like Hillary, discounted a swath of the US voter in public.
As for the rest of this fecal matter..."ooo Trump's got a huge ego." "ooo Trump followers must be cultists." "ooo Trump's re-election team is playing to win."
"BAD TRUMP!"
:lamo
How thin and childish. Why don't all you angry Libbies just go outside and howl at the moon? Oh wait...ya...:mrgreen:
I don't have to go searching for links to support my assertion about what he's doing and proposes to do.
Just watch the first rally. Its all in there.
Cool last pic though. Does it also have some sort of significant meaning to your precious "feelings"?

Of course they are opinion pieces. A proposition that the President is fundamentally a fraud is going to be an opinion. It is not a factual matter, but a matter of opinion. In that regard, its not my opinion or your opinion that matters, but the preponderance of expert opinion.
Unlike you, however, I assembled a plethora of EXPERT opinion to support my point. Donald Trump is a fraud. May I remind you that expert opinion decides civil and criminal cases, and also debate. When one side has all the experts supporting their opinion and the other side has nothing but their own opinion, they lose the trial or the debate. That is just the way it works.
So, it doesn't matter what you think of Romney or Clinton, each are experts on the subject. You are not. You offered NOTHING in retort, not because you don't want to, but because you can't, which is obvious to virtually anyone that has followed this sub-thread.
I admit the fight is not fair as the "EXPERTS" are generally on the side of Trump being a liar and a fraud.....,and, of course, I could have gone on and on (and, don't worry, I did not scour the Internet on your behalf, I have my own dossier.... and finding articles such as I found is an easy task as their are so many). The number of credible people that would actually tell Trump is NOT a narcissist, is authentic in his speech and beliefs, and is not a liar in almost every aspect of his life is, at best, few. These few are most certainly outnumbered by those that express serious concern as to his temperament and psychology, as I have well documented.
On this argument I am afraid your are defenseless, outgunned and outclassed. You challenge me to defend my position. I did. I challenged you to defend yours. You did not.
So, in the end we have my well supported argument that Trump is a liar and a fraud and your unsupported, emotional argument that he is a great leader. Sorry, man, but some one that follows a leader and calls him "great" without credible evidence, and contrary to prevailing evidence, should question whether there is rational basis for their beliefs; they should question whether they are in the cult.

*sigh*
OK...
But ok...lets play more...
You wanted ton know what Trump has done and what he plans to do. I said watch the rally. Apparently you didn't. Again...silly you.
Have I missed anything here?
OK...
May I remind you, that in a court of law, one must present actual proof of a crime. You say "Trump is a fraud". Groovy. Prove it. Show me where Trump has committed the crime of fraud.
Each are politicians. You think that makes anyone an expert at anything? Romney was dumb enough to lose his own election with his own mouth. Billy was dumb enough to cum all over the oval office and get caught and his wife called a significant percentage of American citizens...deplorable. Common sense strongly suggests they are dullards.
I agree he's a narcissist. I would say Hillary, Bill, Barry, Georgrie...all of them are narcissists. And?
I gave you the answer to your question. Watch the first rally. If you didn't...silly you.
But ok...lets play more...
Which you proceeded to support with a bunch of links to opinion pieces done by experts who have a bad habit of shooting themselves in the foot...ok. :dohYOU said:

You asked what policies he presents. If you can't stay on topic...especially your own...then may I suggest you are not to be classified as any sort of expert either.

People shouldn't give a crap about anyone's endorsements. The Media and Hollywood both are so arrogant in thinking that they have the right to influence other's opinions. Neither have learned their lesson from 2016 that more and more people don't give a crap about their endorsements.

The media and Hollywood both are arrogant in believing that people will be influenced by their propaganda. They were out in full force in 2016 and voters ignored their bias and their arrogance.
