If Trump is racist, sexist, etc. explain these things:

Government shutdown over. Are you willing to blow Trump's horn now?
 
The problem with Trump is that he's not consistent with what he does. He's sometimes nice, and then the next day he's back to his old grumpy self.

Sounds to me like every person on the planet. Admittedly, Trump has got more ups and downs than the average person. But, the OP is right and that really is ignored by the partisan left who's only goal of resistance is to take Trump down no matter how many lies they have to tell while at the very same time saying that Trump lies.
 
I've shown you how Trump's results show the opposite of racism. You continue to say that he is racist. Well, show me the racist remarks then. Most people judge action over rhetoric so I tried to show the results of actions, but I guess you are more interested in the rhetoric. Unfortunately, you have given no specifics. Either come up with the specifics or stop making these claims against Trump. He is a tolerant man, and the results from his actions prove that.

ok

We could go all day with the examples.
 
And the list will grow.
Reading the laughable threads complaining from a few individuals about our President makes me want to copy and used this at the local stand up comedy club. I mean a good number of threads are funny...:lamo

Well, for the most part, I think many of those who go to comedy clubs lean a lot more left than they do right so I don't think the audience would be very receptive to it. They would rather watch Kathy Griffin and find her funny.

Yes, I for one, would LOVE to watch Kathy Griffin and find her funny ... alas, it just ain't so.
 
He isnt a Democrat so by default he is a racist in the eyes of the party's diplorrable loyal useful idiot snowflakes. Hope that cleared it up your confusion

Interesting point, since Trump has been a Democrat most of his life. Back then I guess he wasn't a racist, bigot and all of those other ists or isms back then. He only became these things since calling himself Republican.
 
You mean the Schumer shutdown?

Not the Schumer shutdown any more. Schumer caved. Actually, I think he was forced to cave due to some moderate Democrats up for re-election in 2018. Once they turned on him Schumer had to pick a side so he went with the moderates over the far left infected with rabies who didn't want to face reality.
 
Here I will explain it....you think I am going to believe his numbers. Was it not Trumpy the Clown that said those numbers are fake.....I believe him:lamo

That's the laughable part with you lefties. You say Trump lies about absolutely everything except for the stuff that makes you look better and then all of a sudden Trump is the biggest truth teller on the planet.
 
Yes, I for one, would LOVE to watch Kathy Griffin and find her funny ... alas, it just ain't so.

So, what's the name for someone who enjoys a comedian running around with a decapitated, bloody, Trump head? Do you want to take back what you said or do you support Kathy Griffin and find her funny? Even most liberals attacked her for that and sent her to the unemployment line where she cries how unfair she was treated?

I just said, I wished I could find her funny, but I don't.

Many of them have a sense of humour, too.
 
Trump is crude, selfish, ignorant and morally corrupt. Somehow he gets away with it a solid third of the public, enough to keep him above water. So far.

Which goes to show how low the reputations of the alternative geniuses have fallen.

They might consider reforms.

I think that's enough to illustrate the point. I get that not everybody will like President Trump, but people could at least be honest and reasonable about him. He has hired people of all walks of life, his economy has improved the life of people within all different demographics, and President Trump shows a willingness to hold and help all different kinds of people, which would be really hard to fake if he was what "ridiculous" people claim he is.

What's your argument, that it's impossible to be racist if you've ever done a single thing that wasn't racist?

Okay so Klansmen can throw a penny at a homeless black guy and they're golden, they can point to that to "prove" any naysayers wrong when they leave brown skinned people to face exile or death:

.

No doubt. We see this specious reasoning all the time from the faithful, while real evidence is blithely ignored. Trump’s racism is heavily documented, most recently by his characterization of Africa as a continent of “sh..hole” countries.
 
LOL! You calling me a "wingnut" is your own projection.

No. You're confused. No projection is required. Your own stated words reveal your wingnut mentality. LOL, I'm sorry, but your arguments are simplistic and biased. Nothing "slightly liberal" about it.


When Black unemployment is higher, it drops more easily, because there is more to drop. Asians received the lowest drop in unemployment because they already had the lowest unemployment at 3.0%. Only a "moderate" could turn an ALL-TIME LOW into a bad thing. Reasonable people know it's a good thing.

:2razz:I think your slip is showing, "atheist". Only a closeted wingnut disguised as a "slight liberal" would credit Trump for a an "all time low" that was already an "all-time low" (with the exception of 2 months at the end of the Clinton era) BEFORE Trump took the oath in January 2017. The fact that the trend continued (at a slower rate) after Trump took office is NOT something that any reasonable person would credit to Trump.


The President heavily influences the economy, despite what you think.

Not really. At least not in this case. Nothing changed between Jan 20, 2017 and Jan 21, 2017. Trump passed ZERO legislation in his first 11 months in office, until the Tax bill that was enacted over the holidays. When he took office, black unemployment was already at record-setting lows (due to 8 years of Obama policies, btw). Under Trump that trend only continued...and to be precise, it actually SLOWED DOWN under Trump's watch. Bottom line: Trump deserves no credit, except perhaps "credit" for doing nothing, thus allowing the Obama Recovery to continue unabated.

Oh yes, clearly I am not "bright" because I consider the President to have influence over the economy and don't consider the economy to be solely a making of Obama after a year of being in officer, 14 months from election day. All those different confidence indexes that are high I'm sure are looking at what Obama did instead of the future. :roll: If only I could be like you and learn to look at the unemployment rate of Detroit from 2010 that had already mostly recovered by 2016. What does LOWEST EVER mean to you? And not just for Blacks, but also for Hispanics. And lowest in 17 years for women, which was .1% away from a 64-year low. Yeah, all of that is because the city of Detroit's Black unemployment rate was dropping form 2010. Okay. If only I could think like you. lol And then there's all the other non-economic stuff that doesn't make sense for a President to do unless he's a tolerant person.
 
You mean, both sides can cherry pick facts? Who wooda ever thunk.

Not a good argument if you're a Trumpster trying to comprise a list of legitimate year-one Trump accomplishments.

That said, Critter's links reflect the real history of Trump's racism. "Cherry picking" is what the OP did. The only way to credit Trump for low UE numbers is by pretending that those numbers weren't already at record lows by the time he assume the office of the presidency. Of course, most wingnuts know that...they just don't care.
 
No doubt. We see this specious reasoning all the time from the faithful, while real evidence is blithely ignored. Trump’s racism is heavily documented, most recently by his characterization of Africa as a continent of “sh..hole” countries.

Except that's not what he said. President Trump agreed he used tough language, but denied using that language, and said nothing derogatory about Haiti and Haitians. You don't even have the context, because you are talking about Africa, but much of what they were talking about allegedly at the time was Haiti. Republicans have denied Trump said what was claimed as well. So you're choosing to believe an opposition politician in Dicky Durbin with no other evidence, who is someone who has a long history of lying about closed session meetings: https://www.dailywire.com/news/25817/dick-durbin-has-history-lying-about-private-white-ryan-saavedra

Not really. At least not in this case.

Oh right, because as soon as we're talking about President Trump, suddenly the universe flips on it's head and Presidents no longer impact the economy. Got it. ;)

"Cherry picking" is what the OP did.

Oh yes, how I cherry-picked major accomplishments like unemployment rate for multiple different groups, major policy decisions like moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. I cherry-picked results like President Trump getting the highest Saudi Arabian civilian honor and Israel honoring Trump by naming a train station after him after Trump visited the West Wall out of respect. Oh yes, tell me about how I cherry-picked the little things. Give me a break.
