Why do you like Donald Trump and what do you dislike about him.

What kind of a patriot does nothing about Russian bounties on his own country's troops? I'm not even American, but yikes.

It was the DEMOCRAT Southerners who opposed abolishing slavery.  It was the nation's first REPUBLICAN president, Abraham Lincoln, who issued the Emancipation Proclamation.  I know most of the "liberals" & "progressives" have a hard time dealing with this, but facts are facts.

No. Lincoln was very clear on this point. In late July 1862 Horace Greeley published an essay in the New York Tribune calling upon Lincoln to take a stance on slavery. Lincoln’s reply, printed in the Tribune on August 22, read, in part:

"...If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that...."

Your “Republican hero” was not a hero for the slaves; he wasn’t even an abolitionist. He was a calculating, practical politician willing to traffic in human freedom if it would preserve the Union. That is the fact, In the man’s own words, whether you like it or not.

I love Trump. He's fucking hilarious

[dirtyarizona]

Pelosi & Hillary & Maxine Waters & DeBlasio & Newsom & 20 or 30 other Democrats are hysterical, but Trump is actually not hysterical at all.  He's very grounded & very down-to-earth.

I like Trump because he never hesitates to mock the rabid sanctimonious holier-than-thou "progressives." I like him because he knows that "climate change" (or as they called it in the 1980s, "global warming") is nothing more than a scare tactic used by the Left to frighten the population into submission to the United Nations' globalist agenda.

I like him because he is a NATIONALIST.  Make America Great Again!  Where We Go One, We Go All.

Shake off he shackles, Brothers.  The "progressive" Left has taken you & your votes for granted for generations!

Take a look at this TIME magazine cover from over 30 years ago.....!  Poor sad evil Leftists are using the same methods & tactics they used over a generation ago!

Ahhh yes.... Abraham Lincoln... who was QUOTED as saying, " If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, "

Just say you're a racist with your chest. Stop being such a double-speaking coward about the fact you hate immigrants, minorities, Black people, and just lean in to the fact you're a fucking racist. People would respect you more for it than you pretending like your real beef is that in an age long ago it was the Democrats who were the racists.

You sound so fucking stupid. 

I'll probably get banned again for being impolite for saying it. But come on. You can't be this dumb or obtuse.

Dude. Don’t feed the troll. I know it’s aggravating, but he’s like Trump - a provocateur just posting this shit because he enjoys getting a rise out of people. Personally, I’m done responding to his drivel. He’s doing a fine job of destroying his own reputation here, without help from anyone else.

That's such a pathetic argument about the party alignments of 160 years ago say something the parties today.  You couldn't be more irrelevant.

I like Trump because he makes thousands & thousands of Democrats & "Progressives" have nervous breakdowns in front of the whole population!  I like him because he shows how his opponents are largely unstable radicals who can never respond to him with reason, only with emotion! I like him because he is exposing the Deep State which is largely a product of Democrat machinations & manipulations.  I like him because he is Not A Politician.  I like him because he exposes Pelosi & Feinstein & Schumer & Cuomo & a hundred other Democrats as career politicians who are ONLY interested in lining their own pockets.  I like him because he is fearless.  I like him because he has shown, countless times, that "political correctness" is strictly a means of silencing "different" or "unpopular" points of view.  I like him taking the stand of Make America Great Again.  I like him because he is a Patriot.   I like him because he has exposed the SOCIALIST agenda of the American Left.  Where We Go One, We Go  All!

You may also like him because he's Putin's bitch.

[dirtyarizona]

"You may also like him because he's Putin's bitch."  Wow, you really made my point for me! Strong debating prowess for sure!

It's more accurate to label Hillary & Obama as Putin's  bitches, since they are the (DEMOCRAT) politicians who sold Russia 25% of America's uranium!

I will practice being more zen in the face of such ridiculous stupidity... because you're right he's just an edgelord shitposter and not worth it.

I said I wasn’t going to comment any further, but I feel it necessary to point out that the “patriot” pictured above is doubly in violation of the United States Code of Federal Regulations, 36.10 (the Flag Code), sect.176 (Respect for flag) subsect. (a) and (d). These state, respectively, that the Flag shall not be hung stars-down except as a signal of extreme danger to life and property; and that the Flag shall never be used as wearing apparel.

These images of young jocks and Twinks-for-Trump (one of whom has the most vacant expression I have ever seen on a human being, as though there’s nobody at home in there at all) reflect a variation on the familiar “young, dumb and full of cum” stereotype - except in these cases, they’re young, dumb and full of shit.

One of the autopsies I attended was on the body of a profoundly developmentally disabled man, about the age of 25.  When the pathologist sliced the top of his head off & removed the skull, the young man's brain was revealed.  It was about the size of an apricot, sitting at the top of the dead man's spinal column.  Try to elevate the level of debate her, boys, OK?

I like Donald Trump because he is a Capitalist, I like him because he is strongly, vocally, vociferously Anti-Socialist.  It appears to me that most of the respondents to this thread are treating it as a personality contest, when really it is a contest about ideas.  Socialism is the ugliest, most stifling, most authoritarian political system ever developed, & it has never worked, never succeeded, never made the lives of the people who lived under its rule any better.  Look at Germany, look at North Korea, look at North Vietnam, look at Venezuela, look at motherfucking China under the thumb of the Chinese Communist Party.

Trump is not a capitalist. He took tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars from his father and ran most of his business ventures into bankruptcy. In the process, by stiffing hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds of contractors who did work for him, he caused many of them to go into bankruptcy as well. He was so notorious for defaulting not only on vendor payments but on loans that starting more than twenty years ago, no American bank would lend him anything for even the smallest business venture. He was saved from yet additional bankruptcies by (a) laundering hundreds of millions of dollars for the Russian mob, mostly through Deutsche Bank, (b) hiring out his name to every two-bit fraudulent scammer of a foreign developer who used Trump's name to steal millions (or more) in local money, with Trump always getting his cut, and (c) pretending to be a billionaire developer on TV by being the kind of sociopathic asshole everyone in the business world already knew him to be.

As has been noted by analyst after analyst, his so-called wealth has been vastly overstated for decades. At one point, in a deposition, he admitted over half his "wealth" was what he - and nobody else - considered his "brand" worth, and that it varied depending on how he felt that day. Of course, this is nothing new for a developer who builds a 58-story building and declares it to be 68 stories tall because he skipped ten numbers when it came to numbering floors. Everything about him is a con job, a scam, outright theft, or simply false. But hey, if that's the kind of business dealings you think are admirable, that's great - it tells us a lot about you.

As for your comments on socialism: leaving aside your conflation of various and sundry kinds of socialism and non-socialism as all essentially the same thing - while ignoring that much of Europe's modern governance has socialist underpinnings - I'll just comment that I'm glad to hear you are so vehemently against socialism. Of course, it has made some inroads here in the U.S. - most prominently in the form of Social Security and Medicare - so I'm especially glad to know you're planning to reject any and all benefits under those systems - as surely you wouldn't want to be labeled a hypocrite for benefiting from socialist programs.
