Guest Post by The Zman
There’s a long debate in Dissident Right circles about the political acumen and the integrity of President Trump. One side looks at all the zig-zagging and flip-flopping on DACA and concludes that Trump is just a liar, who has figured out how to con well-meaning white Boomers. The other side looks at the same issue and sees a strategy intended to move the ball forward on the immigration issue as a whole. His latest antics over the gun issue, however, suggest that is he’s just a stupid bullshitter who got very lucky.
The gun issue has always been the one issue in American politics where you can reveal both the integrity and the intelligence of someone. Gun grabbers are always very stupid or very dishonest. Sometimes they are both. The 2A people are often just reflexively opposed to gun grabbing, without having thought it through, but gun grabbers are never honest or informed. It is the main reason that the NRA has been so successful. They have been blessed with an enemy incapable of honesty and unwilling to learn the facts.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended. But it is not easy nor inexpensive to do so, especially when those who wish to prevent us from making the truth known, attack us without mercy on all fronts on a daily basis. So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

Now, that enemy includes President Trump.
Trump knows even less about the gun issue than he does about marital fidelity, so no one on the 2A side figured he would be our champion. The assumption, to this point, was that he knew enough about politics to just avoid the topic and not get in bed with the gun grabbers. On an issue like guns, doing nothing is usually the best course. Most states are sensible on guns, so letting the states handle it is good for us. Instead, it turns out that Trump is making the classic Republican error of taking advice from his enemies.
It would be one thing if Trump did the DACA rope-a-dope, promising to sign a bill that everyone knows has no chance of becoming reality. His moves on DACA are pure politics and done with an eye on an eventual Supreme Court hearing. This gun grabbing lunacy he is spouting is damaging to the cause of gun owners and it reveals Trump to be a mendacious blockhead, with no idea why he is in the White House. It is no longer possible to argue that his maneuverings are 4-D chess. Trump is simply an unreliable liar.
What’s most offensive to the 2A community about what Trump is doing is that he is legitimizing options our side has worked for generation to de-legitimize. One is the option of using non-democratic methods to get around the people and impose gun control. His determination to ban bump-stocks by fiat is dangerous lunacy on its face. Worse yet, his endorsement of extra-judicial confiscation of gun,s on mental health grounds, elevates a crackpot scheme of the Left to something worthy of public debate.
Put another way, this jackass has undone generations of hard work by the very people who put him in office. Not even that feckless nitwit George Bush did something this egregiously stupid. Even Barak Obama was unwilling to go this far. This idiocy is right up there with Poppy Bush breaking his tax promise in order to get the Democrats in Washington to like him. It worked. They loved him, which was why he was a one term president. Trump is now setting himself up to follow Bush into the void of stupidity.
Now, the counter argument you will hear is that Trump is just playing more 4-D chess and this will amount to nothing. Well, a smart politicians would know enough to not do that with this issue. This is not a parlor game. The pro-gun voter has no sense of humor on this stuff and they have zero tolerance for limp-wristed politicians too afraid of the girls to do the right thing. Speaking only for myself, I’d vote for a gay black Muslim over Trump right now. That’s right. I’d vote for Obama over Trump, just to send the 2A message.
I think everyone who voted for Trump understood they were getting a guy who would be long on bullshit and short of tangible accomplishments. The point of voting for him was to send a message, but also legitimize populist issues. Trump was the guy who would flip over the tables and discredit the status quo, opening the door for ambitious politicians to run on patriotic issues like immigration reform. Trump would build his wall, end some of the egregious immigration abuses, but the real work would be up to those who come next.
So far, Trump is looking like he is not going to deliver anything other than blowing his own horn every day and maybe dodging prison in the Mueller probe. Worse yet, the trade-off for his vanity will be the undermining of the one cause that truly defines what’s left of old stock America. By legitimizing gun-grabbing and executive fiat, he has just made it possible for the next President Obama to DACA the gun issue, by issuing new gun laws via executive order. Trump is proving to be one step forward and ten steps backward.
The one lesson of the Trump era is to not put too much stock in what Trump says. He is, after all, a bullshitter. He’s also a guy who will wheel on a dime if he senses he is on the wrong side. He is rather shameless in that regard. Still, the damage he has done to the cause of gun rights is incalculable and it will not be forgotten. Unless he eventually signs off on some bold pro-gun laws, lots of his voters will choose to spend the election day at the range come 2020, rather than cast a vote for a duplicitous gun grabber.
In spite of enormous headwinds, Trump has done a lot.
To put my foot on the neck of the severe doubters, The Wall is being built (at least partially for now).
“The one lesson of the Trump era is to not put too much stock in what Trump says.”
He has done a lot of what he said he was going to do.
“The wall is being built”. A-do you have photos? B-is Mexico paying for it as Trump promised?
Nobody who supports or supported the Wall cares about how it gets paid for. If we just stop educating Mexican children for free, that’s good enough for me.
Let’s not give Trump credit until the wall is built.

1. A political ideology that has the inability to use politics and short term compromise to accomplish long term goals.
2. Political party of the stupid.
I now chuckle when I read articles like this. Trump has done more for the ‘conservative’ movement in politics than any other modern president, including Ronald Reagan. Yet, we have so call ‘conservatives’ hand-wringing and biting their nails because everything is not being done ideologically perfect. Which is precisely why I identify myself as a small L libertarian now. Truly the political party of the stupid. (I mean that in general terms, not specifically to the author. I generally somewhat mostly agree with Zman.) 🙂
Anonymous Conservative writes that Trump is pro-gun and know what he is doing:
“And in the midst of this mood, Trump has lured the Democrats into doing this:
Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-RI) and numerous Democrat colleagues in the House are pushing an “assault weapons” ban that would prohibit “high capacity” magazines and 205 different firearms. The Providence Journal reports that Cicilline’s bill, HR 5087, “would prohibit the sale, transfer, production, and importation of semi-automatic rifles and pistols that have a magazine or can accept a magazine that can hold more than 10 bullets, and any ammunition-feeding device that can hold more than 10 bullets.”
Cicilline’s bill describes an “semiautomatic assault weapon” as a firearm with a “detachable magazine” and a “pistol grip,” “forward grip,” “folding stock,” “rocket launcher,” or “threaded barrel.” The list includes pistols made by CZ, Daniel Defense, America Spirit, Heckler and Koch, Centurion, and DPMS, among others. It includes rifles made by Kel-Tec, Springfield Armory, Heckler and Koch, Barrett, Beretta, Stag Arms, Remington, Rock River, Mossberg, Diamond Back, Daniel Defense, Colt, Bushmaster, Armalite, and Norinco, among others.
Cicilline’s bill bans “all AK types” even though the Florida gunman used an AR-15.
That is going to ban a lot more than just 205 types of firearms. The NRA needs this for fundraising, and the threat, done right, can motivate turnout in November too.
It is a little bit of a risk and a cost, because gun owners tend to be triggerable over these things. When Trump is luring the leftists in, and making it look like he supports taking guns without due process, or is open to an assault weapons ban, or he wants to raise the age to purchase, or he says we have to “fight the NRA,” it does trigger an involuntary twitch in my left eye. But the leftists are seeing weakness (and free easy victory), and they are unable to control themselves.
But if the bills crashe in the Senate, especially if Trump can engineer it so the left crashes them in a tissy fit over some extreme position, that gunowner angst will pass, and the conservatives will have plenty of motivation come November to turn out and protect their guns.”
So you’re saying a billionaire who – in his first run for elective office – defeated 17 experienced GOP candidates and then the “inevitable” and “most qualified candidate ever” to win the presidency may not be an dense as his opponents think? Hmmm. I’ll have to give that some consideration.
“He has done a lot of what he said he was going to do.”
That may, or may not, be true. The unavoidable fact is that if he fails on the issue of gun ownership (and it appears he is about as well-educated on the issue as your average gun-grabbing dope) then he fails everyone who voted for his dumb ass.
What is certain and undisputable is that the entire Q hoax is just that, as I and several other clear thinking folk have pointed out. You idiot, cyber LARPING, conspiracy conjuring douchebags have yet to provide an ounce of tangible evidence. Period. End of fucking story. This week’s real news has proven that. I suspect that the Q idiocy will now fade into the sunset as such things always do. However, not without consequence to the morons that perpetuated the nonsense on this forum.
Do you idiots finally get the fact that you have been played?
Likely not.
On to the next conspiracy.
Oh yeah. BTW, North Korea is not run by the CIA, the shootings were done by idiots and not staged by the FBI. There is no fucking cabal or pedophile global conspiracy. It’s time some “copfuk” “red pills” you stupid, fat, computer loving shitbags.
I am accepting thanks and praise in the form of $15.00 donations to TBP Admin through the channels he has arranged.
I speak for many here, get sense.
You’ve been provided many examples by many people regarding Q.
You’ve either:
– Not seen them
– Ignored them
– Decided you do not believe them
For the record, I am not a Q believer. The evidence I have seen folks provide does not seem conclusive to me.
Sure has folks talking – or raging, as the case may be.
Are you trying to steal my title of King Shitflinger? I so, it won’t work. I OWN that title after many years of hard work, and my crown I will not relinquish.
You are quite passionately anti-Q. That’s clear to all.
I’m just wondering if you’re raging against Q to convince the Q-followers of the errors of their ways … or, if you just enjoy the sound of your voice howling against the wind.
If it’s the former, you are failing miserably. Your point will never be accepted, or even heard, when you call people shithead, douchebag, diseased donkey dick sucking homos, and other colorful metaphors.
If it’s the latter …. well, that falls under flinging shit, … not that there’s anything wrong with that. BUT … you are not doing it correctly. Shit flinging is much much more than merely calling others naughty words! That’s grade school level stuff. Folks here are smart, so you need to up your game to the college level. Unfortunately, shit flinging is a Fine Art which takes much study. I don’t have the time. Just try harder.
OTOH, you can enroll in my Home Study Course: Shit Flinging For Amateurs. You’ll get a 300 page syllabus, and a 60 minute video CD of me in action; all my copfuk encounters, killing racoons, close encounters with a horse, and many other favorites beloved by the multitudes. Just send $49.99 to Admin’s PO Box. Mention discount code #fuckmeded, and I’ll knock ten bucks off that already low low price.
Wishing you the best,
StuchenMeister, King Of Shit Flinging Monkeys
You are King Shitflinger! Quinn’s Minions shall fling no shit before you.
I sent in the money for that shit flinging course and all I got was a tee shirt with Stucky’s picture on it. I believe watching by example is the best way to learn the fine art of flinging shit. 🙂
I decided to update the royal image…

Bea, you have to engage; watching Rambo movies does not a warrior make.
Lee Chen
EC- You are telling me to engage? ……Me? I have fought hard and thrown shit until the wee hours of the morning, who needs sleep when you have a battle to win? If you want engaged, look no further. I think one should learn the culture and personalities/shit flinging styles on a potential site where you would like to roost. Yours truly dived straight away into TBP, coming after you by the way, that’s when the big dogs handed me my own ass. Pays to observe and slowly test the water.
“I believe watching by example is the best way to learn the fine art of flinging shit.”
I was contradicting this statement. I said a person has to engage mano a mano. The spectators sing, ‘we are the champions’ but it’s the folks on the court that score. I learned from LLPOH after he gutted me.
?
Been reading Z since early 2016 and I don’t recall ever seeing him this pissed.
“Speaking only for myself, I’d vote for a gay black Muslim over Trump right now. That’s right. I’d vote for Obama over Trump”. Over bump stocks? What an idiot
Not over bump stocks. Over suggesting law enfolrcement act first, and worry whether the action is legal later.
The Trump lost me when he did that.
Exactly Ll. If that comment was an honest reflection of who the man is, then I am compelled to come down off the fence when it comes to Trump and conclude that he is just another statist boob with a penchant for huffing on authoritarian dick.
We have NOTHING if we do not have due process of law. It is the only purpose for government.
Without it, life returns to being brutish and short.
“Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of Warre, where every man is Enemy to every man; the same is consequent to the time, wherein men live without other security, than what their own strength, and their own invention shall furnish them withall.

“AT LEAST HE’S BETTER THAN KILLERY!!!”
Or not.
We didn’t say “BETTER” than. We said at least he is NOT her — NOT her excludes her, which is better than having to see her skanky visage daily. And, we are NOT part of the Clinton’s World Federation they planned once they learned how easy it was to rape the country down in Arkansas.
A she-bitch went down to Arkansas
straddling a horse named Bill.
She was in a bind, way behind
and she went to Mena to make a deal.
She came upon a guy named Ollie
who was peddling drugs to start a war.
She knew that day she’d found a way
to get herself even more.
She pillaged the country so run boys, run
from the she-bitch claiming she’s not the one.
Caught selling out the country for a wad of money
while Bill was in the courtyard having him a honey.
Donny said, “She-bitch you belong in jail
and that’s where you can plan to end.”
She didn’t know that when it comes to the show
Donny’s the best that’s ever been.
I guess she didn’t know Don’s a fiddle player too.
It would have served her well to ask in hell
Because the Devil always gets his due.
So, indeed. We hates that bitch.
Save some venom for when president winfrey takes office.
How does a Winfrey/West ticket sound? Too Chicago?
Lee Chen
psychotic
Good one. She has zero chance of winning the presidency. The Democrat nomination? Sure. The general? No way. At least Obama had the good sense to marry a purported woman, have a couple of kids and attend a nominally Christian church once in a while.
“She/he has zero chance of winning the presidency. ”
That’s what they said about Obama and Trump.
I never liked Trump, he is nothing but a promoter. I didn’t vote for him ( I don’t vote anyway) and I think he is full of shit. I do like like his twittering, he has a bitchin’ wife and amusing hair, but the only thing I really like about him is that he kept a psychotic bitch out of the Presidency. Other than that, I consider him trash.
All politicians are trash. With the exception of Paul Wellstone.
Ron Paul?
” . . . nothing but a promoter.”
He’s also an asshole.
Which is good being as he is causing a lot of angst among his peers in D.C.
He got us out of the TPP
He didn’t sign us up for the Climate Treaty
He cut off Pakistan
He cut off Hamas
He cut off the UN
He cut taxes
He repatriated billions of dollars held overseas
He wants to build a wall
He wants to deal with immigration other than to let more refugees in because they want to come
He doesn’t want refuges from terrorist states
He called a shithole a shithole
He called Schiff the biggest liar in Washington
He signed an executive order that will enable military tribunals and confiscation of assets held by the corrupt
He is familiar with bankruptcy which should do us good when the country can’t pay interest on its debt
Obama grew the debt more than all the previous presidents combined. Trump is adding to it knowing there is no way out. In the meantime he is spending on things that will stand when the shit hits the fan
He has instructed Homeland Security to investigate voter fraud when the states refused to do it
He is instituting tariffs that will prevent dumping that causes our vital industries to shut down (aluminum, steel) and which essentially sends their unemployment to us
And the beat goes on.
Sorry to break it to you bigfoot, but your entire list counts for bupkis if he rolls over on gun rights.
Bea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All those months in the wilderness are paying off, buddy.
Who told all the T-tards that Trumpy was a fake-ass three dollar bill, huh?
Me and you, baby!
Who told these fools, long before PeakCopfuk learned how to cuss?
I am so validated right now. I owe Z-man an apology for failing to appreciate his cranial capacity.
It’s time for a dedication to you my stout-hearted friend.
Just so all you dumb fucking Q ballers know, I’m not done calling you all out on your silly fucking LARPING here on TBP. More fun to come you gullible fucking asswipes.
Oh goody, I was afraid the party was dying.
future proves the past
Lovely, well-reasoned out, exposition PeakMaster. I look forward to further enlightening emanations from you. As a gullible asswipe and a fucking Q baller myself, I know I have much to see on this forum where right in front of me is an example of rage for its own sake. How often does one get to see that!
Oh, I know, every time I see a crowd of people wearing pussy hats shouting to the heavens, “Look here, we are something, we are in the know, we are great!” They do look like, however, what they are. Unhappy fools with little to no chance of ever appreciating their own lives. Even if you are right, PeakMaster, I do not even want to guess what a shitty life you have going for you.
Biggie, you won a knife as you can see in the Attention Bigfoot article.
Hey Largepaw, Francis Marion is looking for you.
Hell yes! Way to go PeakMaster and Zman. Truth !!!!!! tRump is no chess player. What you see is what you get. A bumbling, Goldman Sachs loving, philandering, egomaniac. Hope you Q ballers have some good recipes for preparing crow!
Summer Crow Kabobs
submitted by Gordon Krause (Crow Busters Founder)
Ingredients
16 pieces of crow breast meat (no bones) (8 crows)
16 pieces of green pepper
16 cherry tomatoes
8 button mushrooms
8 ears of sweet corn
1 1/2 cups of Teriyaki sauce
1/2 cup melted butter

Cut each piece of crow in half and place in a covered bowl with the Teriyaki sauce over night. Clean and cut each ear of corn into 3 pieces. Cook in boiling salt water for 10 minutes. Alternately put corn (3 pieces), green peppers (3 pieces) and cherry tomatoes (3) along with 4 pieces of crow meat on each skewer. Use 1 mushroom to top each skewer. Brush with melted butter and place on preheated grill for about 4 minutes. Flip, butter again and place back on grill for another 4 minutes. Repeat one last time for a total of 12 minutes or until they appear done. Serves four adults.
When Uncle Ronnie went KooKoo4CocoaPuffs, he would sit in his office waiting for visitors. Gorby was surprised that Americans could have voted for this cratered octogenarian. Today, nobody bats an eye when President Poon-Grabber stick his foot in his mouth once again. A child could have told you, the President has no clothes.
There are some things you don’t bullshit about, Zman gets it. EC gets it, I get it.
Don’t mess with the 2A.
Yup. Huge tactical mistake. He’s on the cusp of losing all support among people who don’t vote.
*icery do*e!
HF-Why didn’t you just say nicely done?
It’s a meme, Bea.
Iska – There are only a couple of people in this thread who don’t vote, myself being one as you pointed out. Stucky says the comments are about 50/50 , a couple of non-voters don’t make much difference. Even non-voters can stand up for the 2A.
So, does this mean you are OK with gun grabbers?
People who called his bumbling antics ‘4D chess’ are the same folks who say it’s raining when Trump pisses on their heads.
Absolutely ! Lee Chen.
Absoruterey.
Hardy, you sound like Fung Ko. Have you any knowledge of the whereabouts of BW?
Praising BW’s sense of humor was an excellent misdirect. Cuddos.
It’s always the one you least, least suspected. and believe you me, I suspected everybody!
Wrong. Your desire to be a smarty pants is overriding your knowledge that trump does not mind seeming spectacularly stupid to achieve a long term goal. As it all slowly unwinds….revealing bit by bit…we can see who is/was right. But this sounds overly judgemental for you Mr. Z. It does not suit you. To quote another president: “this is not who you are!”.
Anonypuss, he writes on a blog, he has to have an opinion and call them as he sees ’em. If we left it up to you, everybody would be a dithering doofus afraid to say good morning in case it sounded too judgmental.
Trump may have mis spoke on ‘grabbing guns first, due process later’ or maybe not but the idea was sound. Madmen should no more have guns than people with restraining orders issued against them. It is commonsense and politically vital that Trump be seen to be ‘doing something’ about rampage killers otherwise the midterms will be a wipe out for the GOP.
Just as with a person asking a judge to grant a restraining order to protect them against domestic violence it should be possible for a school district or police chief to go before a judge and ask for a ‘restraining order’ against a person posing a clear threat to the public. It isn’t automatic they will get one. Evidence has to be produced. That might take the form of social media posts, testimony from mental health workers or classmates and teachers. The judge could then issue a temporary restraining order prohibiting a person from possessing firearms or buying them.
Restraining orders are rarely forever. They expire when the situation changes and they can be appealed. I don’t see a problem with this but I see a very big problem with allowing the Jared Loughners, Virginia Tech Koreans and Nikolas Cruz’s being permitted to legally buy firearms despite their known mental health issues. If you are too politically obtuse to understand this then you ought to keep your mouth shut because you aren’t doing your cause any good.
He may have been misquoted by the fake media. I think he said, grab their cunts first, do process later.
Unit. What happened? And enormous bolt of common sense Is possessing you like a demon. I like it
Oh and ‘bump stocks’ are also not a issue to be absolute about. They are clearly an effort to work around the prohibition on owning a automatic weapons. That prohibition maybe constitutionally dubious but it is accepted law just like the equally dubious 14th amendment. If the military has found auto fire to be tactically useless save for belt fed bi-pod stabilized weapons I think pushing to allow private ownership of full auto weapons limited to a 3 round burst makes more sense. Accuracy is preserved and has a legitimate self defense purpose.
Unit472/ …you have rationally explained portions of the background check issue and mental health issue that Trump is stumbling to articulate. The 21 years of age requirement he is pushing is unexplainable. The argument should be 18 year olds should be permitted to buy handguns not raising the age to 21 to purchase long guns. Why can’t national concealed carry be wrapped into the discussion?
If either Trump or the imaginary cabal/deep state have the power and resources that Q ballers alledge, the mid terms should be a slam dunk for one or the other.
Of course it’s better than that megalomaniacal hag and her AIDS infected husband back in the White House. ..but is that the new baseline?
18 year olds can’t buy guns? More massive government hypocrisy!
Because the government will GLADLY put a gun in the hands of an 18 year old, send him to a far away place, and have him kill (or, be killed) people he doesn’t know and who are no threat to him, or to his fellow citizens back home. HooAhh!!
Are you honestly suggesting that allowing any random 18 year old unrestricted access to a firearm is the same thing as sending an 18 year old recruit through 16 weeks of basic training to learn the proper use of one?
Not even you are going to try and equate the two.
The lowering of legal age from 21 to 18 was done in a typical knee-jerk reaction in order to vent some of the steam out of the anti-war movement in 1971. The Left thought they’d vote out Nixon if enough teenagers got the vote never taking into account the fact that very few of them do- an under-representation of 50% of the general population to this day, because they are irresponsible and unreliable unless molded under strict and unrelenting oversight.
A random birth date does not an adult make.
The military has always utilized young males as warriors throughout history for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is their propensity towards physical action over long term planning. There are nearly 10,000 years of martial history to back up this claim. Never in any time, even when lifespans were half of what they are today did anyone believe that a teenager was the political and social equal of a mature adult.
The big difference between legal rights being granted, like voting, debt obligations and military service is the quantity and quality of training and preparation devoted to the desired end and overseen and implemented by mature men with experience and traditions to back up their authority.
This thread has been a very good example of the histrionics displayed by the immature.
Does everyone still possess their firearms? Has any law been signed to remove your 2nd amendment right to keep and bear them?
No. And it certainly won’t happen in the next 7 years.
You know who this was?

Glydwr Michael.
A lie, told convincingly, can win a war.
Jeez, I said nothing at all about random unrestricted access!
I believe they are calling for no gun sales to 18 year olds, ever. That is my objection and stated via the military example.
Should 18 year olds first receive proper training/certification? Of course. And so should 60 year olds.
I’m for the repeal of 19th amendment. It was a politically motivated change that served no logical purpose and it has proven to be a mistake.
Could not agree with you more HF, but even if that were to happen, I would still stay home on election day due to the choices which is always THEIR guy.
Some folks attribute magical qualities, both good and bad, to the number 13. While some may say it is associated with the Satanic, others consider it a lucky number. I have my own suspicion that the number 19 is also empowered. I don’t look for it but I notice when it pops up. Of course, Maggie leans toward the number 23.
Why shouldn’t the voting age be raised to 21 then?

Want to know what Citizen Trump is doing? Let me tell you EXACTLY what this goof is doing. He’s Stalling.
While he bloviates and hems and haw haws, the Goldman Sacks of Crap plot it all behind this old fool’s back. They’ll stab him in the back too. These morons are all about talk and symbolism. THEY’RE COWARDS.
El Dump is the avatar of Whiteness for these losers. When he is no longer effective, they’ll eliminate him. Its a “symbolic gesture” of Hoodoo that the Witch Doctors of the Debil and sheeit will use to take a swipe at you.
There will be a great gnashing of teef and the “Oh. woe. White power beez dead and sheeit. Surrender Dorothy.”
SO CHEAP IS THE ZARDOZ. CHUTZPAH MIND TRICK.
YOU ARE NO JEDI ZARDOZ. I WAS KILLING JEDI WHEN BEING A JEDI MEANT SOMETHING, BIG STONE HEAD.
YOU DO NOT KNOW THE POWER OF THE DARKSEID.
THANOS IS MY BITCH.
Trump has no policies. He will advocate whatever is in his best interest at that particular moment. When the winds shift, he will shift his position and his reality. For example, if 6 months down the road you accuse him of not supporting the 2nd Amendment, he will call you “fake news”. If it’s in his interest to protect your gun rights, he will protect them. But if it’s in his interest to take your guns, then he will take them. I can understand why Trump supporters have buyer’s remorse, but I do not believe anyone is surprised by his behavior. You got played by a master salesman, and you need to face up to that.
Trump was great during his first year, but has started his second by going the opposite direction on critical issues.
Sort of like Justice Roberts suddenly going against what he professed when it came to the Obamacare thing.
So I wonder if maybe Mueller really has found something and it is being used for a purpose other than the indictment and impeachment of Trump as it was being expected to be used.
In any event, barring some radical reversal of his current position, the Republicans have lost my vote this year as I go back to again voting third party only.
The pro-Trump comments are getting a roughly 50-50 vote here … and in other threads.
As are the anti-Trump votes.
If this holds true on a national level ….. Trump might as well kiss his dreams of a 2nd term good-bye.
If things continue as is, I think there is no hope at all for a second term.
You don’t viciously turn on your supporters and the principles they stand for, against the Constitution itself (due process), and against those who value and respect citizenship as a special status not freely given to anyone who claims it without regard to law and maintain your popularity among those who you need to support you if you want to win an election.
Trump won’t be getting a lot of support from those he betrayed if impeachment is brought against him either.
Circular firefight anyone? Just don’t call in mortars and arty….no one wins then.
Got it……Keep your eyes on the ball and that is getting rid of the establishment and its hangers-on…..
Regardless of whether he is playing 4D chess, or simply playing with the pieces like a 4 year old would, you best enjoy him while he lasts. Because he is going to be the last president who even pretends to placate conservatives. After him it is going to be a steady stream of leftists who capitalize on the hordes of 3rd world voters that they’ve brought in…. that you allowed to be brought in.
Pretending to give support to conservatives isn’t what I want, genuinely supporting and encouraging them is.
As Tom Woods said, “No matter who you vote for, you get John McCain.”
I’d be happy to give credit to Citizen Trump. Right after he actually does something I want. I will give him kudos for standing against abortion, which is the ONE THING he did that I actually would support.
After W I swore I’d never vote for another republican ever again. I voted for President Trump because he was the only person running I could vote for; the other repubs were the usual running dogs of the the swamp and the hideous hildabeast shoulda been in a deep dark dungeon with the rest of the clintons, bushs, and the other swamp creatures that pollute Washington.
I’ll still give the president another 4 years because the other choice, whoever is the marxist/commie swine that oozes out of the slime to challenge him, is no choice for any thinking person.
President Trump has done the one thing that the marxist/commie swine will never, ever undo. He has forced them from the cover of calling themselves democrats, liberal, or the most odious term, progressives. They have self-identified themselves as anti-American traitors, marxist/commie swine. In this country we execute traitors.
A popular movie of a few years ago was V for Vendetta. The location was England but in passing, the narrator described the civil war then taking place in America. Just a movie or …
Trump is no doubt currently making some bad comments that go against his election rhetoric, but if the Dems nominate some far left progressive like Sanders, Warren, Booker, etc., Trump should have a good chance of winning a second term. They will make Trump look like a centrist.
So you’re saying that to get the support of suburban wives in PA, OH, MI & WI, he might have to risk losing the support of online doom porn addicts who don’t vote? I’m going to need my abacus to figure out the smart play.
Like an experienced framer with a 30 ounce Estwing, you just keep slamming ’em home.
You are on your game today, really fun to watch.
30 ounce? I thought I was impressing people with a 22
Whoever/whenever the law decides Americans must give up their weapons, immediately give it to them barrel first.
Trump has no conviction, he is rudderless. He really does agree with the last person to talk…..he is an imbecile.
Unpredictable is what Trump is. There is no party that he cow tows to, but the things he has put in place tend toward conservative ideals.
To react to each Trumpism, whether it be DACA, the wall or the 2A, is a waste of time. It will only be when the law is ratified and passed that you will ever know what his real intentions were.
This is not where I want to be, with all the wild comments flying everywhere; I would prefer a stable constitutionalist in the office, but that’s not happening. I will say that based on past experience, ignore the hyperbole and the insane tweets and do not go apoplectic like the media is doing; sit back enjoy the show and hold on tight, for it will be a wild ride to the end of the republic, or maybe the beginning of the restored republic.
All I can say is I am not absolutely certain which outcome will triumph, only that I hope it will be the one that will bring tears of anguish and despair to the CNN fake newsies.
