Has Trump ruined Thanksgiving?

He has ruined it as everything else. Even him giving the turkey a pardon his jokes fell short. He is obsessed with the Obama administration SMH. But I'm going blame him for having the redskins playing football on this day I wonder why he had no take on this the racist son of a bitch.
Just a reflection video.



Have you ever heard of lithium?
 
Oh, please. Politics didn't suddenly begin disrupting family get togethers when Trump became president. It always has and it always will.

C'mon, Josie. We all know that there was no politics before Trump. Up until Nov 8th of last year the whole world was happy and content with everything. Then Trump and the Russians ruined everything. He's deported all the Mexicans, ordered all the gays to get Christian Cure Therapy, rounded up all the Muslims and shipped them back to Muslimvania, ordered the corporations to enslave their employees and started a war with China. He's grabbed so much female genitalia that women are afraid to leave the house.

It's a doggone disaster, I tell you.

I'm telling you, the world has simply gone to hell since Trump! We should change BC and AD to BT AT !
 
I imagine only the die hardest of Democrats and Clinton supporters would fall into the Trump ruining Thanksgiving holiday. The ones who really hate. I would imagine any president for those who are die hards and put their political party above everything to include country and family could ruin any holiday get together if the president is of the opposite party.

For us normal folks, Thanksgiving Dinner was really nice family get together and not once did politics or Trump come up. I think Trump would only come up at Thanksgiving Dinner for those who can't live with Hillary's loss and since they are so unhappy and angry, they need to make the rest of their family feel the same way. I have no sympathy for those who feel it a must to invoke politics into Thanksgiving Dinner.

politics belong here, not at a family's dinner table.

Sure, but the Trump haters would need to be paired with the Trump sycophants. It takes two to tango.

As far as the premise of the thread, that's on the families, not Trump or any party or any politician.
 
I find it pretty easy to avoid letting politics ruin a family gathering. My secret is that we don't talk about politics. I know it sounds simple, but that's because it is.
 
Why wouldn't Trump ruin Thanksgiving? He has ruined nearly everything else in this country that he possibly can contaminate.

Like record stock market, lower illegals, record consumer confidence. Lowest jobless claims, super housing market.

Yeah, this just tells me people have their priorities way out of whack.
 
The strawman in this entire scenario IS your thread title. Trump isn't ruining your Thanksgiving --- your inability to act like a sensible adult is. (Universal you, of course.)



I wouldn't have this discussion at the Thanksgiving table ---that's my entire point.

Why on earth you're placing me at your own Thanksgiving table and pretending like we're having this conversation there and, thus, proving YOUR point (you think) here is beyond me.

BTW, the thread title has a question mark after it, so you really are attacking me for trying to have a conversation. I call people who do this is real life bullies. I will never apologize for trying to start a discussion or simply asking a question.

I guess I could have titled, "has the election of Donald Trump caused such intense political division that it has affected how you spend holidays with your family, because this study says so?" But I think that's too many characters.

Not sorry

But did Trump let a hairy 40 year old man into the women's bathroom and pay for transgenders in the miltary to have sex surgery?


You know,...the 'Real' important stuff.

Exactly. Very well said. You got my sentiments across in a lot fewer words.
 
This article cites a study in which a combination of data and interviews suggest that people are cutting Thanksgiving short or forgoing the holiday, because of political tension in the family.

The study focuses on the prior year and this year.

I remember last Thanksgiving, many posters on this board were talking about personal issues and how they were handling it, so what are your thoughts? Has Trump ruined or changed your Thanksgiving ritual?

Why would you blame Trump for this instead of the small minded people that actually let politics affect their Thanksgiving?

I think maybe the study posted sucked. All across the country there were traffic jams in every major city traveling on Wednesday to get home for Thanksgiving. The airlines were quite busy like any other year of folks trying to get home for the holiday. My kids all came home. Every child and their spouse, and all 6 grandchildren ranging from 22 to 6. Not a word of politics was mentioned on this wonderful day. It was all about family, love, thankfulness, joy, laughter, good food and I doubt very much my family was out of the ordinary across this entire country.
 
BTW, the thread title has a question mark after it,

So? I answered your question several times --- no, Trump has nothing to do with ruining Thanksgiving. This upsets you that I came to a different answer to your question than you did. :shrug:

so you really are attacking me for trying to have a conversation. I call people who do this is real life bullies. I will never apologize for trying to start a discussion or simply asking a question.

You do this every time, SheWolf. This is a DEBATE forum. If you don't want your opinions challenged, debated or criticized, then don't post your opinions. Good grief. Fragile much?

Which policies of Trump were responsible for each of those things you just listed?
 
You miss the point - the bad old days of the late Sixties and early Seventies have returned with a vengeance and it is Trump that pushed it over the edge... just like he will ruin many holiday dinners right as we speak.

No it's not Trump is the lunatics who can not accept him as President. If someone is so bent about President Trump you
probably don't want to spend dinner with them anyway! ;)

You sound like you're really upset.

Now you want to talk about me. You can disagree with me. I don't have a problem with disagreement or debating.

If you want to argue with my thread title and not my OP, then go there, but I have every reason to raise my opinion on that.

This is a debate forum, and I am calm.

...says the person who thinks she's being "attacked" by a "bully". LOL!

That's exactly what I'm doing -- disagreeing and debating. You asked a question in the title and now you're mad because I'm answering it. Sheesh. Does you title have nothing to do with your OP? Are they unrelated? Why did you choose it then?

I'll repeat my opinion again about the topic and then maybe you can respond to it instead of whining:

Oh, please. Politics didn't suddenly begin disrupting family get togethers when Trump became president. It always has and it always will.

And? Your title is what I was referencing. Politics ruin Thanksgiving every year if you have people who cannot shut up about it.

If you've become an angry, intolerable person who cannot have a conversation with your family without raging about Donald Trump, YOU are the problem. If you're an immature idiot who cannot have a conversation with your family without gloating and puffing up your chest about Trump, YOU are the problem.

And, again, I said my comment was about your TITLE. Trump isn't ruining anyone's Thanksgiving. Idiots who can't shut up about politics are the ones who ruin family get togethers.
 
Well, I think it's plumb silly to let something as petty as politics rule your life...or ruin it, for that matter...
 
Which policies of Trump were responsible for each of those things you just listed?

Firstly, he killed lots of the Obama era America killing regulations, he is putting more money into the military (our safety). He ended the apology tour! Getting us out of bad trade deals. Lots less illegals coming in.
Y’alls liberal minds probably can’t understand that Trump makes people feel good about the way he is bringing America back, and that does a lot for consumer confidence which means people spend money.
Thanks for trying to understand

Lol. I didn't call you a bully. If you want to attack me personally, go on. I have been though a lot, so I can handle a keyboard warrior.

You're not making much of an argument about anything., but you are making a big stink. Carry on as you wish, but there isn't much to be said.
 
The article address that politics has always had an impact on disagreements, but recent years has shifted dramatically because political division is exceptionally high.

It’s not Trump who is responsible for the political divide in this country. It’s the fault of a media that has lost its mind. If you don’t believe that, just read the title of the article: How Trump Ruined Thanksgiving. I guarantee you that article was written earlier in the week. Which, in itself, is damned funny.

Truth. I think it's very easy to get fixated on it during big election seasons, but to let it take over your entire life so much that you're upsetting friends and family at Thanksgiving? Who wants to be around someone like that who is constantly mad or gloating about dumb politicians? No thank you.

I wouldn't say Trump is entirely responsible for the political division, but he definitely plays a role. The media as well, and people getting carried away. I know some people keep bringing up the 60's, I wasn't alive then but I would say political division is really bad right now. It even affects the way people even watch/boycott the NFL now. It's really shocking that American men will stop watching NFL because of politics.
 
It's easy to talk politics with my family: just hate'em all.

It usually starts out like this "How about that ****ing fill politician's name here.
