    Trump is no longer POTUS. All he can do is talk and as long as you and the MSM continue to give him attention he will. You're not getting the fact that you're supporting him more than Republicans are.

    Trump ran the country well? GDP went down, the country lost about $300 billion due to the Trade war with China? Our national debt increased to record levels, all our allies turned against us,etc. Is that running the country well?

    Trump is no longer POTUS but he is going to run again in 2024, so he could be POTUS again. He is not out of the picture. If he was out of the picture, I would not be talking about him. Nice try, but a strike out. Try again.

    You're still not getting it. The only reason why Trump MIGHT run in 2024 is because of the attention you and the MSM still give him. You fire up his base which in turn fires him up.

    Trump doesn't know you exist.

    Obsessively posting to an obscure message board which evaporate after a few days is hardly a worthwhile accomplishment.

    Hey, I did not "make" Trump. He is a fact of life and a catalytic person. What else can you expect from someone that works to be catalytical every day of his life.

    Blame him for being catalytical and not me for responding to it.

    Let me ask you a stupid question.

    If someone slaps you, do you ignore that person? If he slaps your wife, are you going to turn away and do nothing?

    Nothing wrong with fighting wrong. When wrong is gone, you forget about it.

    Are you not doing the same thing with me? Are you not being obsessive about criticizing my obsession. I would say that the 6 posts you have now put up over the past 10 minutes suggest you are what you are criticizing...........is obsessive..........except that I have a valid and good reason for being obsessive with Trump, you gain absolutely nothing being obsessive with me........................other than stopping me from criticizing your idol, which you do not want me to do because you know I am giving valid points as to his negative effect on the nation.

    You really are doing a bad job of it.

    It keeps me involved and communicating, which is what I seek. This board is not about getting things cleared up in people's minds. This board is all about keeping us talking and communicating, which we all enjoy or we wouldn't be doing it.

    I think you must be confusing me with someone else. I have not put up six posts over ten minutes.

    Actually, I do gain something by pointing out the futility of your obsession: entertaining the others who find your obsession bizarre and disturbing.

    I do apologize. "Yes", my post was directed at someone else.

    By the way and regarding my "obsession" being bizarre and disturbing, do I have to remind you that just about every American (over 300 million) has the same obsession, either for or against Trump?

    Has it occurred to you that the obsession problem is actually Trump and not us? The obsession problem is easily resolved if you take Trump out of the picture. Suddenly, 95% of the obsession goes away. Simple solution, take ONE person out of the equation and the obsession is over. It is a whole lot more difficult to take 300 million people out of the equation than just getting one out, isn't it?

    Trump generates obsession just like God and the Devil generate obsession.

    Those who obsess about Trump are keeping him alive. If the media stops covering him, he goes away. Many prominent Rs keep telling him to go away. Laura Ingram told him to shut up forever.

    It his his enemies keeping him alive, especially the 5 of you on this forum who start Trump threads every single day.

    Trump is the one that won't go away. He continues to be in the news and that is not something that any of us can do anything about.

    Lol. Because people are obsessing about him. He makes money for media, so why wouldn’t they cover his every bowel movement.

    The math on this is easy. If nobody was obsessed about Trump, they’d stop covering him.

    I love cherry pickers, lol.

    https://norberthaupt.com/2021/01/14/national-debt-under-obama-and-trump/

    As for allies, I wouldn't give a toss about them, they take advantage of America's military stupidest, at least Trump tried to get countries to pay their share, but now America is back to being stupid under Biden, and you hail that as a success, lmfao.

    Trump lifted 4.2 million out of poverty, you have to go back to the Lyndon. B. Johnson days to beat that quantity.

    Can I suggest you look at the whole picture rather than trying to pick on emotional petty items.

    I would like you explain what you mean by taking Trump out of the picture.

    Have him go away and not make any statements. Not have him running for office. Basically be "out of the picture" so that we do not know he even exists.

    I always look at the big picture. Humans are fallible and therefore there is not a single human being that doesn't do something wrong.

    Nonetheless and like with a marriage (for better or worse), you want to choose the person that does more good than bad.

    Talk about cherry picking, you are doing that. For every good thing that Trump did, I can name you 10-20 things he did badly. As such, he is not someone America needs to be married to.

    By the way, you mention he took 4.2 million out of poverty? No he did not. If you are talking about the tax cut, that was McConnell and the House and the Senate that was controlled by the Republicans that did that. They had wanted to do that for ages before Trump came along and they were able to do it because they controlled all three branches of government. Trump did absolutely nothing but sign the paper. He gets no credit for that.

    Yeah it's like who determines competency? They do the same with "false information"! Someone gets to decide then they use it for their own intent!

    Well the OP already answered that question, he determines competency, and he's determined that Biden has it and Trump doesn't.

    I do believe that a President of the United States should be able to answer the following questions.......

    What year is this?

    What month are we in?

    What nation are you in?

    What are the names of your wife and children and grandchildren?

    How old is your wife, each of your children and each of your grandchildren?

    I have serious doubts that Biden could score higher than sixty or seventy percent on an extremely basic competency test after four pm!

    For the record...although President Trump has trouble finding honest and competent people for all the many initiatives that he got going..... he is another league altogether than Biden....... Biden is incompetent and Trump, in my opinion, is genius level..... although human and flawed and I do feel that the Abrahamic Peace Accords are flawed and rather dangerous in their unedited form.

    The Christian Political Cyrus / The Audition and President Donald J. Trump.
