    ...

    Trump sells optimism, Biden sells fear.

    The version of Trump the media sells is as an angry, evil, frothing tyrant. That’s why so many of them call him “authoritarian” and “Hitler-esque.” But if you watch Trump’s rallies, as I’ve been doing since 2020, you notice his upbeat spirit.

    He’s like a high school football coach who must inspire the players to go out there and win, even if the odds are against them. And really, that is the main job of the President of the United States. To be a great salesperson who can sell all of us on the can-do American spirit.

    By contrast, Biden sells nothing but fear. Fear of Trump, fear of MAGA, fear of losing Democracy. Who wants a leader who keeps telling the American people one riot at the Capitol meant the end of America? Really? I thought we were the most powerful country in the world. No?

    But that’s all Biden has. It’s a negative rather than a positive. After eight years, why would that be appealing to most Americans? They want to feel better, not worse.

    Trump projects strength. Biden projects weakness.

    Trump is a leader. Biden is not.

    Trump sells American Exceptionalism. Biden sells American shame

    Trump Knows this Country. Biden Does Not.

    Americans can now compare Trump's and Biden’s four years in office.

    https://sashastone.substack.com/p/why-trump-is-polling-ahead-of-biden

    Long article and interesting. The main thesis is that Biden, the people around him, and the elite left are in a bubble and don't understand the people of America. I've thought that "Trump Knows this Country" is likely very true. After all he was a producer and star of a successful TV show. He also was involved in wrestling and beauty pageants, events with fans that the left elite wouldn't get within 6 feet of even prior to Covid. And running casinos depends on attracting the masses, no matter how gaudy and garish the decor.

    If Biden wins

    -The stock market will crash like never seen before
    -There will be a bloodbath in the auto industry
    -Migrant invaders will flood the country
    -We'll be communist/socialist...
    -Rapists, murderers will come here, some are not even people
    -We'll all be poor

    So little negativity, and so much positivity:

    So you just brought up beauty pageants — which trump admitted to sneaking in to see women naked without their consent

    Casinos — which he bankrupted

    Him selling “optimism” while also saying everything is rigged and everything is corrupt (all while he surrounds himself with convicts)

    trump is the cause for small children to be having to flee states to abort their rapists baby.

    He engaged in numerous failed trade wars are oversaw a disastrous response to COVID which saw massive unemployment and then negotiated with OPEC to cut fuel production which caused massive worldwide spikes.

    He spent 33% of all spending this nation had ever seen (Biden is around 8%) and what did we have to show for it besides inflation?

    Not to mention the absolute destruction of presidential norms and decorum in general

    Under Biden we have stable GDP growth. Inflation is largely being caused by corporations and is still the lowest in all G7 nations. Numerous bipartisan pieces of legislation passed like the chips act that will bring manufacturing and technology to the states.


    If you want to force women to be unwilling incubators to the state, have a president that is openly profiting off the office. Someone who has said they will be a dictator on day one and will punish their enemies using that office. If you want quarantine easing and massive amounts of money given to businesses and billionaires — please vote for trump.

    Everyone else needs to do the opposite though.

    The irony here is that most of this is true following one term.

    - The market has struggled under Biden.

    - The auto industry is already experiencing a blood bath

    - Migrants are already invading the border in mass

    - Many of the successes Biden claims are social services and programs, handouts, all based on the notion collectivism is supreme. I.e., student loan forgiveness

    - Rapists and murders are coming here, essentially unregulated, and hiding behind Biden Asylum rules changes.

    - People are drastically poorer due to inflation and reductions in purchasing power



    These are all facts.

    The stock market has continued to do very well under Biden, mostly because it's been coddled by the Federal Reserve central bank combine. And, there's still tons and tons of 'pudge' money everywhere, while the Fed is still carrying a balance-sheet that is enormous (still up around EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS). Meanwhile the national debt-versus-GDP is going back up into even more dangerous heights -- 123%, and rising! What does all this have to do with Biden? Not much....

    Look, if you've been paying any attention to what's been going on since the "pandemic", it should be crystal-clear by now that Trump is not (NOT) going to be elected in November. And, it would be best for the country if neither Trump nor Biden were elected!

    But believe this if nothing else -- the Democrat insiders and power brokers will make sure that Trump does not get elected in 2024. They'll almost certainly have Biden drop out of the race at their convention in August and be replaced by some hyperliberal, 'woke' POS like Gavin Newsom. But Trump? Forget it! He's finished.

    Here, in one paragraph, is the essence of the liberal message for 2024. Full of half truths, spin, and outright lies aimed at scaring Americans. The propaganda has worked as intended on this liberal.

    It is clear ever since Trump declared himself for 2024 that the liberals are out to get Trump. No matter what it takes, no matter what low tactics have to be used, stopping Trump is the only thing that matters. Liberals will lie, they will subvert the law to take away Trump's civil rights, they will bankrupt him with legal challenges, they will destroy the man no matter what it takes.
    Keeping Trump out of the oval office and destroying him is the mission.
    Even if they have to destroy American democracy to accomplish that.

    Which item did I post that was untrue?

    Everything you just posted is short on facts and heavy on propaganda.

    And yes, the goal is to keep trump out of office. He ****ed up enough on round 1. But no one but the right is trying to destroy democracy — we see that with the proven fraud. We see it with gerrymandering. We see it with trump literally saying he would be a dictator on day one.

    Because I knew what the hell I was getting during the 2020 election and Biden confirmed his failed policies over the past 4 years. We predicted this **** would happen and it happened.

    Why the **** would you vote in this half dead idiot for another 4 years?

    Why would anyone vote for any 'woke' liberal Democrat? Free stuff from the government! This has been true for ninety years, ever since Frankie Roosevelt. If it weren't for promises of 'free stuff' from Uncle Sugar, there would scarcely be anyone in the Democrat Party but a few crackpot Marxists and other delusional nothings....

    This is ridiculous beyond comment.

    Trump leads in the polls BECAUSE he is doom and the media, the ones doing the polls, can't sell...

    BIDEN UP BY 8...all is well

    Nearly as well as

    TRUMP UP BY 1...PANIC IN THE STREETS

    but look at the actual votes...
    Trump, even with no active candidates is losing 25% of the Republican vote.
    Exit polling is showing 20-30% of Republicans either won't vote or will vote for Biden.

    The GOP is out of cash as Trump sucks up every dollar for his grift.
    The DEMS have barely begun their campaign while Trump has been campaigning for 2 years
    The daily news flow does the anti-Trump advertising for the DEMS...

    Trump will lose by 12-15 million votes
    Trump will lose by 150-200 EC votes
    The GOP will lose 40 seats in the House
    The GOP will lose 5 Senate seats
    The GOP will lose in excess of 5 statehouses and governorships

    I know you don't like this but

    It's good to see that you finally have come on board. :applause::banana:

    The list you posted is hyperbole, but it's not that far off from what we can expect from a second Biden puppet administration which will have no worries about re-election. Biden has already made it clear that he will do all he can to force electric vehicles down our throats with his editic for 2035 when ALL vehicles will have to be electric. The percentage of FORCED production of electric vehicles will be raised every year starting in 2026.

    Of course Biden's dismal record on getting EV charging stations in place has had no effect upon his draconian orders. He's going forward, even if you can't charge the damned things.

    I remember reading a post from a progressive on these boards who complained about Trump's campaign statement that he would put a 100% tariff on Chinese vehicles made in Mexico to protect the American automobile industry. This progressive said, "Shouldn't consumers have a choice?"

    What does this progressive have to say about the Biden EV policy? Nothing I am sure.

    Trump is partly bad, Biden is all bad.

    Trump often corrects his mistakes, Biden always doubles down on his.

    From 1991 to 2014 no war in Ukraine
    From 2014 to 2022 small war in Ukraine
    in 2021 Biden and Congress send 300 million dollars in weapons
    to Ukraine reaching front line in Feb 2022, shelling Donetsk from Feb 19 2022
    From then big war in Ukraine.

    Not Biden's fault????

    Biden openly said a minor incursion wouldn't bother him and Putin heard that loud and clear.

    Well, actually every point in the bolded paragraph is false, half true, or an outright lie.

    So. How far are you willing to go to keep trump out of office?
    We know you'll lie.
    Will you weaponize the law?
    Because thats exactly what happened in New York and Colorado.
    Will you block trumps constitutional protectio s?
    Are you on enough of a mission that you'd destroy democracy to keep trump out?

    Since your statement is they are all lies all I have to do is prove one to make it apparent which of us is the lair.

    US Debt by President: By Dollar and Percentage
    …added $6.7 trillion to the debt between fiscal year 2017 and fiscal year 2020, a 33.1% increase,…
    Report: Trump walked into teen beauty pageant changing room

    Trump is polling ahead of Biden because common sense people have seen both men's performance in the White House and are picking the one who performed best. That's normal.

    The World Is in for Another China Shock.

    If Trump wins, Bribed Joe and the Dems won't be able to take the US Auto Industry from US Auto Workers and give it to the Mexico and China.

    Elect Trump, no bloodbath for Working and middle Class.

    'In the late 1990s and early 2000s, the U.S. and the global economy experienced a “China shock,” a boom in imports of cheap Chinese-made goods that helped keep inflation low but at the cost of local manufacturing jobs.'

    'A sequel might be in the making as Beijing doubles down on exports to revive the country’s growth. Its factories are churning out more cars, machinery and consumer electronics than its domestic economy can absorb. Propped up by cheap, state-directed loans, Chinese companies are glutting foreign markets with products they can’t sell at home.'

    'Some economists see this China shock pushing inflation down even more than the first. China’s economy is now slowing, whereas, in the previous era, it was booming. As a result, the disinflationary effect of cheap Chinese-manufactured goods won’t be offset by Chinese demand for iron ore, coal and other commodities.'

    'China is also a much larger economy than it was, accounting for more of the world’s manufacturing. It had 31% of global manufacturing output in 2022, and 14% of all goods exports, according to World Bank data. Two decades earlier China’s share of manufacturing was less than 10% and of exports less than 5%.'

    “Unlike in the early 2000s, however, the Western world now sees China as its chief economic rival and geopolitical adversary. The EU is considering whether Chinese-made electric vehicles are unfairly subsidized and should be subject to tariffs or other import restrictions. Former President Donald Trump, who is seeking the Republican nomination for November’s presidential election, has floated the idea of hitting imports from China with tariffs of 60% or higher.”

    Well, hold on there sparky. If you go back and follow the posts, the paragraph at issue, the one I said is full of half truths, spin, and outright lies was;
    "If you want to force women to be unwilling incubators to the state, have a president that is openly profiting off the office. Someone who has said they will be a dictator on day one and will punish their enemies using that office. If you want quarantine easing and massive amounts of money given to businesses and billionaires — please vote for trump.

    Everyone else needs to do the opposite though."
    No mention in there anywhere of debt, although I have been critical of Trump's inability to keep his promise about the nations debt. No mention in there of beauty pageants. What you attempted was to move the goal posts.
    Attempt failed.

    So, lets take your points individually;
    If you want to force women to be unwilling incubators to the state,
    That Trump has taken a pro life stance does not make him an advocate to force women to "be incubators to the state". A clear gross overstatement, full of emotion and untruth.
    A Lie.

    have a president that is openly profiting off the office.
    Trump is the only modern president that did not profit from the office, either during or after his presidency. In fact his net worth has dropped significantly since he came down the escalator. Obama improved his net worth by over $68 MILLION. Clinton improved his net worth by $240 MILLION. Trump lost $700 MILLION.
    Presidents' Net Worth, Before and After They Took Office (cheapism.com)
    So, another lie.
    In fact, a blatant lie since this topic has been covered on this forum before, and if memory serves, you participated in the "discussion" and your claim he profited with his DC hotel was specifically refuted when it was proven that the hotel gave profit made from foreign visitor hotel reservations to the Federal Government. Trump did NOT profit.

    Someone who has said they will be a dictator on day one and will punish their enemies using that office.
    A statement taken out of context and, like so much of what Trump says, given the worst possible interpretation. You'd have done better using his "bloodbath" claim in your rant.
    A clear spin attempt.
    Fail.
    If you want quarantine easing and
    Quarantine of what? ILLEGAL MIGRANTS? Rogue terrorists creeping into the country? Covid?
    A clearly generic statement loaded with emotional terms that means nothing.

    massive amounts of money given to businesses and billionaires
    "Massive" eh? So totally generic and meaningless that addressing it is a waste of time. More spin and in the end, a lie.

    No need to move a goal post. He spent 33% of all nations debt

    trump placed the three federalist judges that caused this. Absolute truth — even if you don’t like it.
    I should have put “attempted to profit”

    Can you tell us if funds overpaid by the secret service were given back?
    Except that’s what he said. You seem to just be saying “fail” because you don’t like something.

    I don’t care about his bloodbath comment, he wasn’t talking about violence. But he did say he would be a dictator on day one
    Quantitive easing
    Let me know if I need to explain it to you
    The PPP act that he said he would monitor was one of the most fraudulent programs this nation has seen with zero means test.

    My companies had zero losses during the periods and still qualified for close to 300k, I know a few business owners that got millions and actually expanded during those periods

    I am noticing you have ignored my sources and are just dancing around with your opinions. That alone is telling.

    Fail and fail again
