Fixt.

Agree Trump is his own worst enemy. Needs to stop acting like a 5th grader and start acting like an adult. Virtually ALL my democrat family voted for Biden because they 'hated Trump'. I tried to tell them to vote with their intellect and not their emotions, but people are not like that all the time. They just don't like Trump. I see Trump and DeSantis in enough conflict of interest, a weak Republican Party, and too many liberals on the take and getting 'free stuff'.
Too many kids voting for Santa Clause, ever since Clinton days.
We, as a country, are ****ed.

I DGAS how he acts. I care what he DOES or DID and what he DID was begin to put America at the top of the heap.

I have made this comparison long ago...

If I need open heart surgery, I don't care if the surgeon cheats on his wife and his taxes, and drinks like a fish and smokes and yells at kids to get out of his yard.

I CARE about what his surgical skills are.

While Trump may have said some things I wish he hadn't, it's nothing like this pathetic POS we have now and if I am to judge acting presidential versus performance, Dementia Joe loses in both columns.

Seems some of you would own a complete POS car you had to push all over town, as long as it "looks good".

It doesn't matter to me. People hate Trump because he punches back. I don't care if that hurts their feelings.

All I care about are policies.

And Trump didn't push back any harder than verbally. We are now seeing what real push back looks like. Taking political prisoners. Spying. Lawfare, both criminal and civil. Vilification of political opposition as others, as sub human. Ritual humiliation and subjugation. That is what actual push back looks like. State sponsored pogroms by state actors and by lawless street thugs backed by the regime.

DeSantis will give us the policies without all the drama.

Nope. Don't get me wrong, he's a rock star, but in a local band, not a national act.

Bad analogy, but you already knew that. We're not talking about how Trump acts in private, but how he acts in public. How the POTUS acts in public DOES matter. If he's a laughingstock to foreign leaders and has no credibility it DOES matter. No, Joe is no better, and in most ways worse, than Trump but that doesn't excuse either one of them. Far too many people will vote for anyone running against Trump no matter who they are or how bad they are, which is because of how he acts. Acting like a spoiled brat all the time isn't leading. We need a leader.

Let’s not make the assumption because I’m critical of Trump’s behavior I somehow endorse sleepy Joe. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING could be further from the truth.

Your open heart surgery example is a poor one. Trumps idiotic and crass behavior -while you may admire it for its ‘honesty-’ is a terrible example to set for a country where we *claim* decency has been lost.

Yeah, I can hear you already; It’s all about his job performance! I don’t give a shit about how he acts! Only it’s not all about job performance is it? Need proof? Look around you. You’re a middle age man who (I hope) knows better. Try that at your job. Cock off, act like a ****in’ moron. Eventually your employer will have enough. Like they say; I’d rather have a hole than an asshole. This country chose the hole.

Carry on.

Trump got results from foreign leaders. Trade deals, help from Mexico with illegals, Middle East peace deals, etc. If foreign leaders didn't respect Trump, none of that would have been possible. Did they like a US leader pushing for America First? Probably not, but Trump got them to the table by being both strong and not bought off like Brandon.

But that can all be ignored, since Trump posted some mean tweets.

The problem is the same as it always has been: too may Republicans are spineless.

Just as I suspected. Your ability for abstract thought and reasoned debate are sorely lacking.

I have no knowledge of how he acts in private since I'm not with him. My post was referring to public behavior. Maybe he was laughed at. Maybe the same way people talk about the boss or their C.O. when they aren't aren't, but get in line real fast when they are face to face. He sure shut up the Korean fat boy fast.

Carry on.
If I am best at what I do, I can afford to be a jackass at my job. Many people that are damn good at what they do, are exactly that. Cocky because they can be.

Find the best or most successful anywhere and you'll find arrogance FAR more than humility. My point being that none of that matters to me. If I own a company and my guy is outselling every salesman and every competitor's salesman, I am less concerned with his presentation. Whatever it is, it works., If it didn't, I'd know. Trump isn't filling arenas and gathering chanting crowds of the offended. He' is gathering crowds that like the results.

Results count. Methods that are a failure will not have successful results for long. He's been around a long time and I doubt his ways are newly acquired.

In fact, if re-elected, I hope he is the most ruthless, cut to the bone, put up or shut up man that ever held the office.
