    Well, I must admit, I'm not losing any sleep over it.

    I heard through the grapevine that his flock isn't sending him as much money as they used to.

    He's got real financial problems now, with very few places to turn. He's painted himself into a veritable corner from which he might not be able to extricate himself. Jail even?

    Cherish the thought!

    Tsk tsk, couldn't happen to a worse individual. Hah!

    Schadenfreude-city, here we come!

    At a personal level it couldn't happen to a worse person.

    But I try and bear in mind that he is a hero for about a third of the country. Many of them may not have the facilty to engage nuanced political arguments and the Democrats that once supported them have largely abandoned them.

    This situation still needs to be resolved; you need the cooperation of that demographic to move the country forward.

    People who thumb their noses at the law annoy the heck out of me. As far as I am concerned he should have seen the inside of a jail years ago

    I have been trying to analyse his appeal because heavens knows he is one of the least appealing people on this or any planet and while majority appear to be in love with a fiction of their own making
    upload_2024-3-10_20-28-4.jpeg
    Some of his appeal is the appeal of the narcissist - https://theconversation.com/the-appeal-of-narcissistic-leaders-is-also-their-downfall-49398

    But there is also a segment mesmerised by the fact he has been, or at least appears to have been “Teflon Don”. These are the ones who appear to have a selective memory forgetting such things as previous court cases Donnie has lost, the fact his indictments went before a grand jury etc etc etc

    I agree that there's a selective memory! His troops are suffering, well probably most of them... And he says all the stuff that makes them feel that he and only he can get them out of that situation. Desperate people can only see one step ahead.

    Yep.
    Trump is slowly circling the drain.
    The Democrats appear to have managed their mission.
    They will probably get their Trump perp walk.
    And see Trump's plane sold for pennies to the scrap yard.
    And his empire dismantled and shared among all the loyal democrats who worked so tirelessly to destroy this pompous gas bag who dared slip the throne out from under their man(woman).

    And life will go on.

    But when all is said and done, democrats will still have biden to deal with and explain.

    All in all, I'm happier having Trump than biden to deal with.

    Because really, how the hell do you explain biden to your kids?

    I'd be happy if it weren't for the enormous potential for harm he still carries.

    Daddy: Son, you see that bridge across the way that is being fixed?

    Kid: Uh huh...

    Daddy: well that is one of 46,000 rebuilding projects throughout America that our President Biden has done for us. Isn't that cool?

    Kid: oh wow!


    That's how I explain it.

    There is no secret about it for me. In fact, I wish the drain could be unplugged to let it happen faster.

    Same way you would Trump but tell them to take it down about 10 notches. Use as a teaching lesson.

    You can take it anyway you want. If I say up, you'll say down. If I say white, you'll say black.

    The rally crowds and primary results tell a different story. Trump is proving you wrong once again @Patricio Da Silva

    Honestly speaking. I don’t give a s$$ about Trump. I never liked him, never watched anything he had said or done before 2015. And I wished after 2020 election, he was gone.

    But what scares me the most is that there are 75 million Americans who wants Trump or someone like Trump to be leader of this country.

    No, we Conservatives don't want a "leader". We want a president that runs the Executive Branch the way the Constitution says it should be run. Unlike the Leftists, we don't need a leader.

    What is scary is you don’t want Trump…. what they are pulling on Trump will happen to you.

    And out of 331 million American you couldn’t find anyone better then Trump to “runs the Executive Branch the way the Constitution says it should be run.".

    Mike Pence, Chris Christie, Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Tim Scott, Asa Hutchinson. You had the choice to pick, but you guys picked Trump.

    One doesn't have to like him to believe that he should be treated fairly.

    There are 331,000,000 Conservatives in the The United States?...lol

    Trump is the only one with the balls to take on the Democrat smear machine. Everyone else you named would fold up like a cheap lawn chair. Look how McCain and Romney acted. Neither one wanted to played hardball the way Trump will.

    The Democrats are just mad because Trump won't fold like the rest of them would.
