I have thought about it and Trump is just a conman through and through.
As Mick Foley said:
“To me, there’s nothing fun about a man who could be the next president of the United States, talking about the enemy within, making it clear that this was not a mistake. This is his go-to line: the enemy within, the enemy within, the enemy within, which he co-opted from Senator Joseph McCarthy, one of the worst people to ever grace our planet.
“What frustrates me the most is that so many good, hardworking, American people cannot see through such an obvious conman who was only out for himself. The idea that the working man thinks this guy is behind them has obviously not looked into his past.
“I know people work hard. They don’t always have time to go home and do their research. But instead of tuning into your favorite news station of choice, look up the data, see how many times Donald Trump has failed to pay his contractors and workers over the last 30 years. It’s in the hundreds. He claimed it’s because they didn’t do good work. This coming from a guy who claims he only hires the best people.
“I claim he’s screwing over the working man.
“Kevin Nash, today, told me a story about going into the venue that used to be the Taj Mahal, mentioning Trump’s name, and seeing the bartender roll his eyes. And the bartender told a story about how his father was an electrical contractor, worked hard his whole life to build up that business, and then when Trump did not pay him for the work he did in the Taj Mahal and the man was unable to fight it because he didn’t have the resources to fight it. Trump knows that the people, honest, hardworking contractors don’t have the resources to fight him in court, and he bankrupts them, and their dreams disappear. That’s not standing up for the working man.

“Words are cheap and he lies almost every time he opens his mouth. But do you know what he’s not lying about? When he talks about coming after the enemy within. The enemy within. Who is that? It could be anyone. It could be me.
“An article came out today, in NPR, October 22, 2024, with a study that showed Donald Trump had issued over 100 threats to people he perceived as his political rivals. He has threatened to impeach and prosecute Kamala Harris. He accused Barack Obama of treason. He said his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, General Mark Milley, should be executed. (Trump) did nothing to stop what could’ve been the death of Mike Pence, his own Vice President.
“And now he’s gone so far as to say that anyone who criticizes the Supreme Court and other judges should be put in jail. So, Donald Trump, I’d like to talk directly to you. Are you going to put me in jail for criticizing your Supreme Court? Because I think Clarence Thomas is a disgrace to the Supreme Court. I think Samuel Alito is a horrible person who doesn’t belong on the highest court in the land. I don’t think Brett Kavanaugh’s interview in front of the Senate would’ve landed him a job as a dishwasher, let alone serving in the Supreme Court for life.
“I mean, I’m so scared that I was thinking about calling you a douchebag in this interview, and then I thought, ‘That’s a pretty strong word. Trump might come after me.’ And I made the decision not to call you a douchebag, even though you are one.
So I want YOU to think long and hard about why you're voting for Trump.

i can't take anyone serious, who just copies and pastes something from a website that someone else has said, as if it should hold more weight with me because it's on a website...
i really don't believe in your own words that you could tell me why trump is bad, i'm sure you could come up with "hitler" "fascist" "orange" and "mean"
but to really get into a detailed smart debate about why trump wouldnt be and wasn't a good president, without cheap cliches, references to 1930s europe and something off a website, i really don't think you'd have a clue.
Youtube has been flooded lately with people asking kamala supporters for one achievement as VP, and they can't. they say "well shes the first woman..."
i've never agreed with liberal ideas on social and economic issues, but lately i'm really seeing that people on the left are just blind over emotional people who are too easy to manipulate. it's pure emotions, theres nothing else.
and it scares me that 50% of america is like it is.

Oh, I have a damn good reason for why Trump is bad other than using cliches.
It's because he lies. All he does is lie. He has lied so much that I can't trust anything he says.
That's why I can't believe him when he says he has nothing to do with Project 2025.

see? you can't do it.. and it's embarrassing.
what you posted before wasn't some great in depth take down on why trump wasn't and wouldnt be a good president, you didn't give me some really smart takedown of his economy policies, why they wouldn't and didn't work (because they did) you didn't use one fact, figure or piece of data..
what you did do, is copy and paste someones personal opinion of trump from a website who didn't do that either, he just said "trump isn't nice"
one of the examples you gave was "a barman rolled his eyes when someone mentioned trump"
hahahaa i'm sure if i mentioned your name in some circles, people would roll their eyes! same goes for me! nobody is loved by everyone!
but we don't elect the leader of the free world or not elect him because "once a bar man rolled his eyes" this is really fucking embarrasing.
you need to grow up, what is happening in america with this childish culture over the last 10 years or 15.. is fucked. you don't even know why you think what you do. you really don't. you need to grow up and realize that for the last 4 years people have struggled more than ever to put food on the table, the world is on the brink of serious conflict and war...
and you give me "some barman rolled ihis eyes on the mention of trump back in 1996"
i don't know how old you are, but you honestly need to grow up.

Did you even read what I said? I said he lies a lot. He has lied more than any other president in history.
And no, his economic policies didn't work. Trump raised the national debt to a high degree even BEFORE the pandemic. His tax cuts for billionaires and corporations didn't help the middle class whatsoever. What's more, his tax cuts raised the national debt!
And BTW it was awfully convenient for you MAGAs to constantly complain about Biden raising the national debt while not bothering at all mentioning Trump's raise of the nation debt.
So no, you don't know WTF you're even talking about.
