I started out liking him. But his act wore thin and he lost me.
Ditto. Seemed to have a lot of good qualities in the beginning.
Over time, his true character has been revealed. He’s a man with no core other than himself. We’d be fools to trust him. We’d be duplicating what so much of the nation believed about Obama - he’s whatever I want him to be.
Hard to believe so many conservatives have lost their discernment - or discarded their values - just because Trump is right on a few major issues.
Last debate the real Trump showed up.
One egomaniac/narcissist has half destroyed our nation; a 2nd one would finish the job.
Flame away, Trumpies.........
Me too. I thought I might be able to vote for him (if forced to), but now I’m not so sure. Honestly, I don’t trust him.
His comments about 9/11 lost me completely. His true colors came out Saturday night and he came across as a complete loon. No mention of the fact that we knew who Bin Laden was long before Bush was elected; no mention of the fact that Bin Laden was offered to Clinton on a plate at least three times that I’m aware of; no apparent knowledge of Bojinka (look it up); no knowledge of Iraq’s long (30-year) direct sponsorship of, and association with, numerous terrorist groups, including: the DFLP, PFLP, PFLP-GC, PFLP-EO, the Abu Nidal Organization, the 15 May Organization, Al Qaeda and many, many others.
I was detailed to the Bush White House as a CT Advisor for 15 months. There are plenty of policy issues on which I disagreed with the administration, democratization being one of them, but “destabilizing” Iraq and having no justification for invading Iraq (which was closely associated with Al Qaeda, whether the media or Donald Trump acknowledges it or not) are not among them.
Does anyone honestly believe that the people of Iraq - those who were not Ba’athists - would prefer to live under the regime of Saddam, Uday and Qusay Hussein - a regime that used glass shredders to kill men and women while their children watched, along with various other forms of torture? Would they actually prefer to have their daughters taken from elementary schools, raped and beaten by Uday and never seen again? Would anyone call that “stable†if he were living in Saddam’s Iraq? Thank God all three of those butchers are now providing feed for worms!
The above, however, do not provide justification for the US to intervene, invade or “meddle”. However, when Saddam’s regime is directly involved in supporting terrorism against the West - including the US - and has been doing so for over 30 years, that does constitute justification for intervention.
