Why People Like Trump.
 

Watertown Daily Times | Who supports Donald Trump - and why

I found this very interesting about why some people are so supportive of Donald J. Trump.

I am not one of these people but am trying to understand how something like Trump could possibly become the President of the United States.

Because those that support Trump have the same ignorant mentality that elected a loser like Obama. Just what America needs, is another amateur extremist. Kasich proved that by his answers in last night's debate. Too bad he is too far behind to win. We are doomed to enduring a boorish braggart again for at least four more years.

There are issues that most of us want addressed by the next president. Trump happens to be one who has done well resonating those issues. He is like for his non-political approach/attack.

I do not like the uncontrollable constant personal counter attack mode he seems to enjoy. He comes across as being only as deep as the subject he chooses to counter attack.

I suspect if he were to become elected president he like most executives will fill positions around him with people qualified and expert to do the job. A good executive surrounds himself with people that will carry of the mission/objective.

Contrary to the typical politician that will fill positions based on quid quo pros or who they owe a favor to or a special interest or minority they are beholding to.....and usually none chosen have the qualifications to do the job and are instead space taker uppers that merely puppet what the presidents wants VS what needs to be done.

Trump is not a "smooth" executive. He is boorish, bullish and is too defensive. He is easy to suck into a pi$$ing contest. And his name calling and denigrating of people is just out of order.......just like it is here on this forum.

I will support who ever the republican nominee is; if that happens to be Trump I would count on him to hire the best (more outsiders) people to get the job done.

Trump is far and away the better candidate than Clinton or Sanders.

Because all people are human whether they have an R or D after their name or anything else. The majority of ALL Americans are fed up with the state of our country. I personally believe that many democrats have the same values that I do. If their choice when they go into the booth is Trump or Clinton.....they will vote for Trump and never say they did.

Most Americans want America to be great again at home and around the world. Most Americans know that Obama has taken America in the wrong direction and most of us are sick and tired of being a berated people and country. Clinto is shooting herself in the foot (or the head more likely) by espousing to worship what Obama has accomplished and promising more of the same.

So the people may not "like" Trump, but he is most certainly the least of the two evils. And even in his way for sure he does not promise more of the same!!!!

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Election cycle after election cycle, we elect an establishment approved candidate who promises change and yet nothing ever changes. The rich keep getting richer, the poor poorer. We continue to go to war, the economy falters, the border never get resolved, education continues to decline. The bridges, roads and infrastructure never gets fixed, families continue to be crushed by debt, college students can't find jobs, black on black crime continues to rise, good paying jobs continue to move out, factories continue to relocate to other countries, and we never talk about the plight of native Americans. In my mind, if you vote for one of the establishment approved candidates, nothing will ever change. If the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, then if you don't vote for Trump, you are insane.

Trump reminds me of a junior high kid running for student body president:

If you elect me I'll outlaw homework. I'm not going to tell you how, just trust me.

These republican clowns are simply a reflection of the constituents of the party. Each one of them is trying to "out crazy" the other. What kind of a fool would consider voting for someone who wants to bring back torture AND wants to kill family members of terrorists. What does that say about the hate filled morons who are supporting Trump?

The above posts regarding why they will vote for someone like Trump remind me of the same reasons why they voted for Romney four years ago.

Reminds me more of Ronald Reagan in 1980.

TRUMP running for President of our country....

.....under investigation for fraud (very enlightening interview this morning on
CNN with attorney general of NY)
.....says our military will disobey our laws and world wide laws upon his
command, which he says he will give.
.....has been disavowed by virtually every expert on protecting our country
.....Even when shown to be totally wrong, will continue to lie to his rallies
......has not even a basic idea of policies of this country nor problems\
......advocates policies that he KNOWS cannot be accomplished (tariffs, trade, economics etc)

Those are factual statements easily validated (and there are MANY MANY MORE)

On a subjective (cannot believe I say that because someone of any character would find them non subjective)

.....is crude even when not instigated
.....has a label for anyone and everyone who disagrees with him (hispanic judge...mexican protestor...muslims and of course his standards...idiot, liar, etc. This applies if you disagree with him.
....has obviously lied to all of his followers (see NY TIMES "off record remarks)

One borrowed ditty.......He bragged on the air about screwing around on his wife while McCain was being flogged and beaten in a POW camp...AT THE SAME TIME...and then mocked McCain for HIS SERVICE.

THIS IS THE MAN YOU WANT AS PRESIDENT

Although I agree with what you said, I will have to correct one part. In my opinion, the rich continue to get richer, but it is the middle class that is getting poorer, not the lower class. We do have more poverty since Obama,but even our poor live pretty well compared to the poor in other countries. Some of our poor live as well as the middle class in other countries, from what I have seen in my life overseas.

Brace yourself, America: President Trump

Imagine The Donald filling his cabinet!

And yet, even though he is this despicable he is far greater for our country than either Sanders the socialist or Hillary the criminal and liar. So, if it ends up being a final vote for one of them, Trump will get my vote even if I have to hold my nose when I do it.

I see no difference whatsoever in the EVILS.

EVIL IS EVIL....no shades of gray or degrees. Trump and Clinton either one is not a bad choice...not a terrible choice but in fact grotesque.

They both should be locked up and we start over.

To say, as you did, that your trust Trump to do ANYTHING is simply preposterous. On what can you possible base that ?

I bet president Trump will not resort to accusations of racism or sexism when he doesn't get his way. That in itself will be worth the aggravation of watching him on TV. I wish congress would pass a law stating that current presidents could not appear on comedy shows or talk shows. If he wants to inform the little people of his progress, he should have a press conference, period. Obama looks like he is auditioning every time he is on SNL.

Talk about holding your nose.....he makes H Clinton look saintly. Just do your due diligence because the media is hung up on "hands" instead of vetting same as 2008

You may get half your wish.

on what can you make that claim ?

He already has begun to do that. That "hispanic" judge screwed him in the lawsuits. Doggone "mexicans" are the demonstrators. Maybe no racism although he alludes to that or sexism, but his are far more personal and undercutting BY FAR

It is laughable when anybody refers to blacks this or Hispanic that or Mexican whatever it is immediately tagged racism!

However it is OK for the democrats to brag about the black or Hispanic vote.

BS!

If the Mexicans are raising hell it is not racist to say the Mexicans are raising hell.

So cut the continuous race BS commentary.

At least Trump wont be seen riding a unisex bicycle around Martha's Vineyard wearing mom jeans and a stupid looking bicycle helmet. BTW didn't Obama promise not to take vacations while in office? Why yes, yes he did.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68WS5B19LC4
Jet-setting Obama vowed NO VACATIONS if elected

Half way through I had to stop and go get the pepto bismol to stop gagging and tossing my cookies.

It is a classic piece of documented proof of what a full blooded liar the man is. Testimony to the same kind of BS that has been comng from his mouth since the day I first heard his name!!!!

I would like to hear from the radical party Obama supporters what they have to say about the subject.

I will admit there have been any number of jokes coming from the Obama camp all day today.

They really do think we the people are stupid. They know for sure that some are any way. Everyone that voted for him.

The phrase was used in its most commonly accepted form, as an aphorism.

Hillary doesn't even look good to Billy, let alone to the voter.

Clinton does not look good to anybody.
And her looks certainly underscore, she does not care.

Whever, if anybody, should counsel her to look more Less matronly".

Baggy jackets....baggy pant suits....nothing flattering to her gender....maybe that is her goal. Looks like her clothes are designed by Omar the tent maker.

If she really wanted to be president she could at least make an attempt to look the part.

Now listen up. For 7 years A whole lot of us have sat in agony waiting for our chance to put a Republican in the White House. The Democrats have had their time and have not improved the middle class hard working people's lives. They put a crossing guard into the Presidency or whatever the hell he was. I don't like the man that much but I respect the Presidency of the United States. Now it is our chance to make things better. Hillary will not be elected because of her problems so it looks like it's gonna be my hero The Donald. Is he going to be perfect...I don't think so but I believe he should improve the middle classes lives. He is a man who is ready to go in many ways. Much more than the Community Activist man was. I love my country. I have skin in the game, my son is in the Army and my brother in law is Special Forces for that reason alone I want Trump so he will support those who keep us free. He is a manager and will surround himself with excellent people. We are going to be fine. Nobody messed with President Reagan because they knew he was a no BS guy.

a very good way of looking at things!

Excellent post. Reagan was tough. He cured inflation, got the hostages back and fired the air traffic controllers when they went on strike. If Reagan was president when the hostages were first taken, there is no doubt the Iranians would be staring at the business end of a B-52 within 24 hours. It's what Kennedy would have done (remember Cuban crises) and it's what Trump would do.

Except, Trump doesn't seem to know what or what not he can or cannot do. He talks like a bully, but like a bully he charges in without knowing his limitations. He has too much baggage. We already have endured one amateur in the white house that bumbled around for two terms without doing any good. America can't afford another four years of inept, boorish bull in the china shop leadership. It's time to wipe the campaign slate and institute a Romney/Ryan rerun. This time, there is no competition. Hillary and Sanders dead in the water so they are no competition for anyone.

Dear Guests:

I really do not believe that a rationale person could like Trump. Let me explain.

It is not Trump that we like but the fact that he is refreshingly candid. We are sick of the political correctness wrought by progressives. As you may recollect breaking that political correctness taboo was how and why Ben Carson launched his political career when at a prayer breakfast he spoke candidly while in the presence of Obama.

People are also drawn to Trump because on the Democratic side there is absolutely no choice to be made. Even the Democrats are moving toward the Republican side .

Trump is playing to the crowd using the tactics he is famous for in "the Art Of The Deal". And you can imagine after the performance of a feckless, weak minded incompetent like Obama Trump looks pretty good.

I will say this about Trump. Because he is using the tactics from his book he has taken extreme positions because in negotiations you can always go down but if you start out weak well you come out on the short end of the stick.

I will also say in his defense that the allegations against him as respect Trump University may or may not be legitimate or may or may not be political or both. HOWEVER keep in mind that thousands of college students are now balking at payig their college loans because like the students from Trump University these students graduating from some of the best universities in the country are claiming that they were lied to about employment and refuse to pay their loans. To add insult to injury Obama is actually fronting a bill to allow them forgiveness. Why? because he want pressure off him because he is responsible for the worse recovery this nation has seen in a long long time.

Personal Best Regards:

Remember....

Ronald Reagan proved his mettle as a governor before going to Washington.

You Trump folks who think transferring business success to governing within the constraints of our constitution and serving through congress is easy are very sadly mistaken.

I hate to break it to you, but we all have skin in the game, as patriotic Americans. The problem Trump has, is he is popular with a certain subset of the populace, but is hated by the majority of Americans, and even his own party. Look at the prominent Republicans that have come out against him in recent weeks. Romney calls him a phony and immoral fraud. The conservative wing of the party doesn't think he is conservative enough. If you read the newspaper or internet you must realize that the Republican party is looking for a way to deny him the nomination.

If you like the way things are going and you want business as usual, then don't vote for Trump.

Just keep waiting for the Trump followers to explain HOW he gets done the illegal things he promises. We have a constitution unless he is against that darn old way

Trump is basically a prostitute for the highest bidder. He works hand in hand with the mob. He says one thing one day and then another the next day, changing his view with the changing wind. He has no morals or ethics. He may be a Republican or a Demorat...who knows? He says more disparaging things about Republicans than Democrats. His ego precludes him from ever apologizing to anyone when he is wrong. He has anger issues. About the only thing that I have heard good about him is that he says he does not consume alcohol. If you take his name away from him, he would be mistaken for a Democrat.

I will vote for any of the other three GOP candidates before ever thinking of voting for him. I started out thinking that he might not be so bad, but the more he speaks, the more I dislike him.

The Constitution never stopped Obama.

Actually it has..a number of times.

And if you support Trump in vengeance for Obama....think...would you advise your children to act that way ?

He is an adulturer...a cheat..under indictment...has no vales, and almost 100 percent of his "answers" are illegal. Won't you be proud to live in this country with the big bully ?

It isn't going to work....we are going to be in mor conflicts.

NEVER thought I would ever say this....but if it is Clinton and Trump, I will set this out. 2 people with ZERO character.

I am embarrassed for my country that I fought for...totally embarrassed

:agree:

The highlight above succinctly identifies most all elected officials.....100% of all in Washington.

Some Donald Trump supporters at the Laurel Manor polling place today. I did not see any Hillary Clinton nor Bernie Sanders fans though.

We have had 7 years of a dog catcher in charge let's go with the liar, cheater, no ethics guy who will be able to fend off the people and countries that have played us for a fool. Also you can't build a shed in NY without the black hand being involved...its the way it is...but if you say he is in the mob I would get your meds changed if I were you.

Trump supporters seem to demand attention

How will the no ethics cheater accomplish his mostly illegal plans ?

By pass congress and constitutio ? His nomination alone means Repubs lose congress.

You are getting sucked in by a vaudeville act. With Trump, there will be MANY more to fend off. Most countries do not take well to bullying and being called names.
