    If, by the power of persuasion, you could save lives.....would you? If you could reduce the divisive nature of our politics would you do that too?

    The former Grifter-in-Chief has such power. If he chose to he could make a PSA in support of vaccinations. What if, for the first time in his life, he put the well being of others before himself and tried to convince the hesitant to get vaccinated? How many hundreds of lives would that save? What he said at times of crisis we need to come together as a united country in order to defeat COVID?

    What if he put out a statement, without the pretentious reference to it coming "From the Office of the 45th President of the US," and admitted he lost the election far and square? That what few voter irregularities there were didn't make any difference to the outcome. That states involved in or considering audits should save themselves the embarrassment of what happened in AZ and drop the idea.

    What if he apologized for creating the conditions leading to the Capital riot? Said he was sorry to all those who got arrested in support of his Big Lie. Said he was sorry to the police who were injured and to the families of those who died.

    He possesses awesome power for the good of the nation. Millions of people still are influenced by what he says. They view Biden, Dems, the left, as their enemy and Biden as an illegitimate prez. He has the ability to make this a better country in which to live. If you had that power wouldn't you use it?

    Didn't you already make a thread previously wishing that Trump advocated for the vaccine?

    Guess what...he already did. LINK: Trump urges all Americans to get COVID vaccine: 'It's a safe vaccine' and it 'works' | Fox News

    And even more recently: LINK: Trump booed at Alabama rally after telling supporters to get vaccinated (nbcnews.com)

    Continuing to spread the falsehood that he hasn't advocated for getting the vaccine does nothing for reducing the division now does it?

    I didn't bother to read the rest of your post. When one starts off with a falsehood I tend to disregard all else.

    I’ll agree with the vaccinations part but the rest is malarkey
    Why should he encourage election fraud?
    Why should he apologize for telling people to “peacefully protest”? I quoted that because they were HIS WORDS
    Trump losing wasn’t enough? Now you want him to lick democrat boots?
    You guys are never satisfied huh?

    I would start the process of forgiving him if he did all that and apologized to all Americans for inviting the Taliban to our country and putting our soldiers and allies in harm's way by releasing thousands of them from prison.

    Unfortunately, his is too selfish and narcissitic to even understand he got fired for dropping the ball on COVID. Everything he's done since the pandemic started has been anti-America and anti-American. Traitors don't apologize or take responsibility.

    He wouldn't be encouraging election fraud. He would be accepting it didn't happen and encouraging those duped by his lies to accept it as well. Maybe you know someone like that.

    Few if any people in the history of the country are in the position he is in now to heal so many wounds. There's so much good he could do. I wonder if it ever crosses his mind to be a positive force instead of a negative one?

    Of course that hasn't crossed his mind. He thrives on chaos and destruction. Putin and Xi couldn't have asked for a better POTUS to divide our country and our people. All of us have PTSD from dealing with his BS but he's loving it (and probably getting paid handsomely for being a traitor to our country).

    Putting the fraud aside (we’ll never agree on that), Trumps ego is a little too big to do this Jesus type stuff you expect him to do. Trump wasn’t an amazing president with amazing policies for the people, it was for his ego . Wishful thinking but not gonna happen

    Could be a wonderful world if those inflicted with TDS would seek help to deal with it. Get back to normal, get back to living, stop crying and whining about the past. For libs orange is the new black.

    The lies about voter fraud will remain as a source of division for as long as millions of people believe them. Trump could fix that with a dignified admission of reality. Of course he won't. Sealing his legacy as being responsible for the most destructive post presidency in US history.

    So, you're okay with Repub candidates running on an anti-vax, Big Lie, anti-environment, anti-labor, anti-immigrant platform devoid of ideas to solve the country's problems?

    Candidates can run on any issue they choose. Why would you think otherwise. Theoretically, it is the voters that decide.

    Meanwhile minorities, young people and illegals continue to not be vaccinated. Are we going to be consistent and ask why isn’t Biden using his power to save them or are we going to drop the ridiculous claim that people are basing their health decisions on a single man?

    LOL. Well, first of all, the elections aren't here yet so you don't know what they will be running on. Second, Americans are getting damn sick of having an incompetent president, socialism, wokeism, and political correctness. Their hard turn left will be responsible for losing the House and the Senate in 2022.

    I don’t give a damn what he says insofar as any of that. In fact him saying those things would do nothing for me except to make me think he had caved to the pressure of the establishment.

    He could come out today and say everyone should get vaccinated and have mandated vaccines. I don’t care because I’m not basing my position upon what he says. I’m basing my position upon facts or a lack of having the relevant facts.

    That’s true with everything else you mentioned as well. I wouldn’t care if he came out and said he lost the election. The actions of the democrats and the lack of transparency and clear willingness to undermine the constitution at any given moment has spoken louder than anything Trump could say.

    Biden is an illegitimate president. I won’t call him a usurper because I don’t think he’s mentally competent. The democrats did cheat and they will continue to do so until the people finally realize that a perpetual democrat rule is only achieved through cheating.

    Where did I say "(all) people are basing their health decisions on a single man?" Not all are, obviously. But some are unequivocally basing their decision on the larger right wing narrative over which the Orange Messiah has tremendous influence.

    Look up malignant narcistic psychopathy. That's why not. Another simpler term is "evil".
