I’m just an old fart and have gone through a lot of disappointments. But I told myself if this guy is for real, then we may still have a chance, so I voted for President Trump. Now to me he seems just like all the rest! 1.3T “budget” my rosy red butt!
I know. I'm so sick of these cultist true believers claiming that Trump is smarter than all the rest of us, "3D chess", etc. The fact is, HE LIED. He infringed the 2nd Amendment, he funded Planned Butcherhood to the tune of HALF A BILLION dollars, and he signed a bill that prohibits the use of CONCRETE in the border wall.
Trump lied, capitulated, and betrayed us. Like any other politician.
And Trump put his stamp of approval on what Ryan and McConnell gave him. Trump had his team working with congress on the bill. The day before it hit Trumps desk, Pence was praising it.
So you’re happy that Trump didn’t take a stand?
Cheer up, maybe you’ll get Clinton or Harris next time.
“So you’re happy that Trump didn’t take a stand?”
God no.
We should recognize there are reasons he may not have been able to.
He is on our side. The evil forces against him forced his hand.
Our focus should be on destroying those evil forces.
He could have...and SHOULD have vetoed this bill. Shut down the damned government. The Dems would own this one for not funding the military. This has to stop ... and Trump was the ONLY ONE who could stop it ... and he didn’t. (And before you bash me as a Trump-hater, check my previous posts!)
It’s reported he wasn’t going to take the fall for a shut fown. That’s a good enough excuse? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/03/24/take-blame-for-government-shutdown-f-that-trump-reportedly-told-aides.html
You are simply and sincerely wrong.
Sure. If you believe it.
Noting that I gladly voted for Pres. Trump and do not regret doing so, please consider the following.
Even when constitutionally low-information Trump was on campaign trail, I was very concerned that he was making promises concerning his vision for MAGA that the corrupt Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration would predictably not let him keep, at least for his first two years in office.
One of constitutionally low-information Trump’s campaign mistakes was that he did not have the foresight to request that patriots start rebuilding a new Congress so that Trump would have a Congress that he could work with.
So Trump’s first two years in office are arguably for practice. Patriots must use the 2018 midterm elections to start rebuilding Congress to support Trump.
Also, are patriots aware that during a president’s first year in office that president has to work with a budget signed into law by the previous president? So last year, 2017, were were still under Obama’s thumb.
Patriots need to exercise their voting power to force the feds to change the federal fiscal calendar so that one of first things that a new president does is to authorize new fiscal budget.
Also change tax day to the day before election day.
I’d say that only a few FReepers were braced for Trump signing the omnibus spending bill. I watched Trump’s 1 PM EST critique of the bill. And based on his expert analysis of the bill I’m satisfied that he’s still the same Trump that I gladly voted for.
While I think that Laura Ingraham is a great journalist, I was surprised with her harsh critique of Trump signing of the bill last evening to the extent that I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s a stealth anti-Trump person.
Correction’s, insights welcome.
I really think that Mad Dog influenced POTUS when he called him and asked if he was really thinking of Vetoing the bill.
Very wise words.
excellent assessment of the situation!
Leave loser!
Next time vote for Ted Cruz, from the original Tea Party.
No. His (former) supporters will stay home
Doesn’t look that way from what I see on twitter and other sites.
I know I haven’t given up nor anyone else I know. Democrats are the scum of the earth and I will never willingly give them anything.
Conservatives are a lot smarter than you think.
Would you be less disappointed if Hillary signed this bill?
I voted for a candidate to use his judgment, not poll results, to take decisions.
