There is no ulterior motive here except maybe to see if Trump's most rabid fanbase is dwindling/bothered by what he has said as of late.
I know a lot of Trump supporters in real life who haven't been paying that much attention to all of it.

His poll ratings have been rising all week. Trump is not your scripted, poll tested, politician who measures every word carefully. He tells it as he sees it at the time. And he is not at all reluctant to change his mind when he has more information or sees that the circumstances are different than what he expected.

He is a person intent on getting good things done. That's why we elected him. And that's all we hope from him.

Those trying to take him down, create doubts, accuse him of whatever, as this thread seems to intend to do, most especially based on your poll, will not be able or will refuse to understand that. And more is the pity.

Hillary has no legitimate connection to Democratic Socialism. Trump is a retard. So what does that make your opinion?

A pragmatic one, in a year where there were no good choices.

Very possible, but to do so... to appeal to the more moderate person... he has to roll back many of his campaign promises, which is exactly what attracted his rabid supporters to begin with.

If we're going to end up with business as usual, what'd we need Trump for? :shrug:

I could, but not at this pace. When he does something I agree with, then he reverts back to type, and it reminds me why I was too smart to vote for him in the first place.

I like much of his Cabinet picks and I like his SCOTUS pick. I do support his actions in Syria and applaud him for making that decision. I do think his military picks are the best I've seen any POTUS make in many years. Like Obama, who I also didn't vote for, he's made some great choices.

And he's made some terrible choices, both in personnel picks as well as his own hideous raunchy behavior.

i see it as a thread meaning to invoke,"do you really still support his guy who flip flops" .......because the people for him see to have lost momentum.

of course one thing the OP says is that he see things have died down lately, .....well one reason congress is not in session so there is less to talk about.

of course the aim of the thread is to be a negative on trump, which we have seen so very many.

Trump makes the greatest choices. The best choices. The yuuugest choices.

You just hate Trump because your I.Q. is lower than his. Sad!

My thoughts are similar. Glad we rejected Hillary because she would have escalated war in the Middle East... Thankfully we have Trump, who escalated war in the Middle East.

Thank you for being gracious. I'd like to add my own "A" to the above: I support the President because I support the Office of the Presidency, and I rush to add that I will not knee-jerk support a President's actions that I believe are wrong simply because he or she is the President.

And I do understand in part the hostile rhetoric. A few of the people I love most are genuinely concerned/frightened.

I guess what I'm saying (and have said many times now) is that there is a middle between unthinking, uncritical support of a President and unthinking, unreasonable hostility and that I am in that middle. Will you acknowledge that there are those on the left whose hostility is blindly unreasonable?

There are those on each side that are blindly unreasonable and hostile.

Yep. Trump's no different from Hillary in that regard.
 
I didn't vote for him, or the wench from Chappaqua.

He's doing a few things I agree with so far, but I'm not holding my breath either.

Which is increasingly often, which means he lied to YOU in the campaign when he said he knew more than pretty much anyone else on pretty much any subject... and yet you still lap it up.
 
I don't know how many Trump supporters there ever were, depending on the definitions here. For many of us, he was the best of bad options and simply being elected was sufficient. I hope that he doesn't do a lot of what he said he would do so I certainly don't mind what you might call "flip-flops" which I might call "gathering more data and making a better decision based on more information."
(I had hoped that Obama would have done the same and realized some of his naivety in his pre-election rhetoric.)

Define "Trump supporter".


King Donald the Awesome? No, never.

Trump the Great? There were never many of those, and I was never one.

Enthusiastic support? My Trump right or wrong? Some of those still.



STILL glad Hillary isn't president? Yes. That's me. IMO to keep the proper perspective on Trump, you have to remember what the alternative was.

I do remember, and while I am no fan of Hillary Clinton, I don't see any way she could have been worse than Trump. None whatsoever.

Some see it as him becoming more presidential and malleable, as him being reciprocating to new information. I see it as him rousing a base of people acutely aware of the misfortune of Libya, and then betraying their trust. Call me crazy, but I support people who follow through on campaign promises, specifically non-interventionism.

To address a broader point: the most frustrating thing about politics right now, is that for someone who doesn't believe in escalating war, they have no candidate. Democrat or Republican, the DoD gets paid. I support broad cuts to the DoD, and reinvesting that money at home, bare minimum deficit reduction, optimal use free college to fight unemployment and crime rate in ghettos. Guess I'll still support a Sanders/Gabbard 2020 ticket when the time comes. Even though under Perez, the Democrats show no interest in supporting progressives, even though they are a smashing success with the people, evidenced by the contentious KS-4 House race last week, where the DNC abandoned the unapologetically progressive candidate Thompson.

Except for the excellent choice of the Democratic Socialist from Vermont.

Do you still have your same doctor, and are paying less for medical care? And are the oceans receding and the Earth healing?

"Lap, lap, lap". LOL

She would have continued Obama's commitment to DESTROYING AMURICA!
 
I don't know if I classify as a Trump supporter... I didn't vote for him(more because I didn't have to in my state). But I do think the media and a significant amount of people in general are highly biased towards him as a president... and I personally will call Trump on each action he does how I see it and in context of past presidents.

Things I don't like about Trumps decisions so far...
1. I don't like the bombing of Syria decision, I think there should have been a more thorough investigation.
2. I don't like his personality.
3. I didn't like his rumored rudeness with the Australian PM.
4. I didn't like the healthcare plan... but for the opposite reasons many leftists didn't like it... so that was a meh. Do I think it was a failure that he didn't get it passed? hell no...if the democrats made that bill it WOULD have passed, why? because they can't think for themselves and there is no internal debate or dialogue when it comes to public displays of policy... as long as the big D is behind it, they'll scarf it down. Debate and disagreements between party members is a good thing in my mind... not a bad thing.
5. There are a few gaffs here and there with him and his team that I think they are prone to... but gaffs are gaffs... not that big of a deal to me.

And that's really it that I can think of... I liked everything else for the most part... or I am at least neutral to it.

There were two choices in the general election: Mr Buffoon and Miz Corruption. No one else had a snowball's chance in hell; one was going to be POTUS.


Lesser of two evils.

I so wish I was as able to read minds and thoughts and speak with such certainty of what others think and do as you do even as you accuse the President of the same sort of thing. It would make life so much easier. But I don't so I guess I'll just have to continue to ignore those who think they do.

A hilarious spin on these obvious facts:

Trump is a loose cannon.
Trump doesn't know **** about anything.
Trump is unable to get anything done.

If you think those are the hallmarks of a great leader... wow.
