I was more critical of the people who wanted to extend the lockdown, beyond anything reasonable. I mean some of the liberals on tv were talking about 2 years. CNN would have so called experts on, and each one would talk about it like it was Armageddon and we’d be locked down forever.

The liberals never seemed to acknowledge that most people weren’t at risk. And when they’d report deaths, they didn’t like to report their ages. You’d have thought just random healthy people were dieing like flies and that was not the case.

Could we have opened up earlier? Probably. But I’m not gonna crible with a month here or there.

The states that were going to extreme measures like Michigan and California were the ones people made the most fun of. Even Saturday Night Live did a skit on Michigan’s govern. When a liberal spoofs another liberal, you know the first liberal has gone over the edge. And the states that sent the National Gaurd to people’s homes looking for vistors from NY, yeah was a little over the top.

I thought Trump handled it about right, and his press conferences were a hoot. He even played doctor in a couple of them, which got the libs screaming. I think he did that moslty to get under their skin. Libs like to attack his slightest little misstatement and run with it. Common Joe Blow doesn’t care. Trump knows that so he has fun with the press.
It is fascinating. I read every paragraph and you seem completely reasonable then Trump comes up. If there is Trump Derangement Syndrome then surely there must be Trump Love Syndrome. You give Trump way too much credit. He says shit that he thinks will appeal to his base. He double downed on his hydroquoliniene intake because his narcissism forced him to save face. He doesn't give a fuck about his followers. Howard Stern who has known Trump decades has it right. Trump wouldn't want his average follower in his hotels. Trump wouldn't want to associate with them or have anyhting to do with them, yet the fawn over him. Crazy shit.
Here’s why you and Haward Stern don’t get it. We all know that. Heck, Trump trades in his wife for a new model every couple years. Trump likes to mix with the wealth and elite, but he gets the working man, something the Dems don’t understand.

....

Libs base their decision based on superficial things, like gender. That’s why Biden has to find a women.
Well even if you do know all know it, it is crazy. He doesn't represent you or your interests, only when by random chance.

He gives the ambassador to wealthy donators like no other President ever had. What policy is that? Draining the swamp? I get rich people like cool unique vacations, but this *is* our country.

I tend to hate the identity politics of the vocal left and many democrats. Yet Trump will say or do anything. He's brought this country to a new low. I hope we recover and he hasn't set some standard and our country just become a corrupt shithole from here on out.

Trump was motivated the night Obama made fun of him. He would go around making birther comments to get air time, then Obama takes shots at him at whitehouse correspondance dinner, it disturbed his narcissism at the core. That motivated him to get elected and then motivated him to have 2 singular points. Get relected and remove anything positive Obama ever did. That sums up Trump. I would find it hard to believe a man as petty as Trump has ever been elected to the PResidency before him.

Like he won't take pictures with his fat daughter and things. I just can't begin to fathom this guy. He's so disgusting he couldn't find a successful American woman, so he's went mail-order most of the time. It goes on and on.. but he panders like no one else. He plays that game very well.

One thing I like about Trump though is I do like being against free-trade. My opinion has changed a bit over the past few years. My problem is that it monkeys with the free-market and plays favorites. It is also a tax on the American people. So it hasn't been all bad.. just the vast majority of his policies are shit just like the man himself
