Trump At War

I think the ones actually at war is the left primarily comprised of Socialist and Communist minded people.

Everyone else seems pretty complacent and quite happy with Trump's accomplishments thus far and be reasonably dismissive of the bizarre and looney tunes whiny and vocal nature of a select number of emotional and mentally unstable groups of people as a type of "shock trooper" destined to create mountains out of molehills through propagandizing and hyperbole.

It's funny how you mention propaganda and hyperbole when your post reads just like one of those outlandish chain letters that red state grannies like to share with each other on Facebook.

I find it very hard to understand why anyone would even try to defend Trump.

You'll never be able to understand it because it has nothing to do with reason or logic. It's purely grounded in warped patriotic and/or religious fervor, pride, and identity. Politics are treated like sports; it's all about your "team" winning. Being consistent or even coherent isn't important, nor are any negative consequences.

Trump never said he doesn't "need" Gods forgiveness. He said: "I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don't think so," he said. "I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't."

...But that was his answer to if he "asks God for forgiveness"... Perhaps Trump feels that God will forgive him of his sins based on faith.
Sorry but he did say that he doesn't need God's forgiveness during one of his campaign rallies prior to the election as I was watching it on t.v. It was also replayed on one of the news channels. After all, since he also said at another time that he doesn't pray, and since forgiveness can only happen with repentance, and since repentance involves prayer, ...

I hope people can see how EVERYTHING Trump says is twisted out of proportion by the media and the media consumers.
There's a difference between news versus news commentary, and it's the latter that often does what you say. Also, one of the things I do regularly is to check out anything controversial, through more than one news outlet. Yahoo News is a good source for that approach as they use many different news outlets.

Is that why his approval rating is the lowest of any president mid-way through their first term since national polls have been taken? And since when is 40% "everyone"?

Maybe you can explain to us how what Trump has been doing is "Christian" and/or moral in any way? And why is it that whenever the discussion is on Trump, so many of the Trump-supporters immediately bring up Hillary?

So, if we look at this from a broader perspective, Hillary, who is a regular church attendee, is repugnant to you, but Trump, who has said he doesn't pray and doesn't need God's forgiveness, is all fine and dandy? Which denomination teaches that the above is somehow acceptable to God?

Also, if you'd like, I can post a list of Trump's atrocities that we already know he has committed, so do you want me to do that? I'll only cite that which we know, not those that are yet unconfirmed.

Curious. How many commenting have watched the video?

Bernie Sanders is a proud Socialist. Though his label is Democratic Socialist.
He's stating to forget there is no religious test to assume office. As exampled by Sanders when he went after Trump's nominee Russell Vought.

The brakes got put on when Hillary didn't win the election and the Democrats then had their candidate in highest office.
All the planning over the years came to no avail that election night. Now, the Democrats and the partisan media are thinking to try and make Trump's first term a living hell. Hoping to distract him with lies, false claims of inappropriate behavior, and the infamous Russia collusion scandal. That came out shortly after the election. And forget that long ago it was proved there was no Russia collusion.

People that hate Trump apparently think if they repeat the media fed lies long enough they'll actually come true.
Meanwhile, all the benefits even his detractors reap for his two+ years in office go unnoticed by his critics. Who enjoy the benefits and still spew the venom.


As usual, when Trump is in trouble, try to distract...let's mention Hillary again, Bill Clinton, anything else we can think of to deflect out tyrant's misdemeanors?
You sound absolutely uninformed.
Hillary gets mentioned because all this Leftist circus and Kool-Aid production is being propagated by Hillary, George Soros, and those who supported her during the campaign. Trump use to be a Democrat and good friends with the Clintons.
Then he decided to run for highest office never having ran for public office before. The highest office. And he switched parties, which makes him an enemy of the Left in and of itself.
That's why Hillary is relevant.

As you can read in just this thread, there are people who prefer the lies to the truth.



This thread looks more like "RF at war".
It wasn't intended to generate that in any way. It was intended to inform people so they'd stop buying the media falsehoods that are continually generated and produced against Trump. And replace the lying propaganda with actual truth. Which is why I asked how many commenting here have actually watched the video in the OP.

Oh, I don't fault you for what happened in the thread.
I'm just providing a gratuitous observation.

It now seems to be that the sane, including both republicans and democratsare agInst Trump and the numbskulls that still support him.
I am sure that there never has been so many high office holders that have left their posts through dismissal and resignation before. And they were all people he said were great when he appointed them.
The business world is now reflecting on falling profits and a falling marketand falling output.
Confidence is still falling. And will continue to do so as long as trump is driving the ship.

Is there a conspiracy theory you don't believe in?

And you might want to take a look at a post I just finished a few minutes ago on another thread dealing with Trump's words and actions vis-a-vis Jesus' words and actions.

I skimmed through it, so I know in general what it covers. It is a terrible whitewash of what Trump in reality has been doing, and it's "interesting" that the defense of Trump that his supporters near the end of the video just try to do so on political terms, not moral, and even those are highly partisan that avoids dealing with the damage he has been doing both domestically and internationally.

What's also "interesting" is your citing "Trump haters", of which I am not one of them, and yet you support a man who spouts hatred just about every day of the week, including even against some of his own appointees. There's a name for that and it's called "hypocrisy".

I felt Bill Clinton should have resigned because of his lying under oath, and I felt that Al Franken should have resigned because of his actions with a sleeping woman even though it was supposedly a joke of sorts, so I do not take a partisan position when it comes to the issue of basic Judeo-Christian morality. Unfortunately, it appears that you do per most of your posts.

So, do these morals really count in your "book" or do you put partisan politics first and foremost? I don't expect politicians to be saints but neither do I expect them to repeatedly act as if basic Judeo-Christian morals and Constitutional mores based on the "rule of law" really don't matter. It's your choice.

Skimming doesn't count.
You prefer to parrot the Left's propaganda despite the factual record that refutes it.
That doesn't make Trump nor the Republican party look bad.
