Donald Trump is my favorite President, even more so than Ronald Reagan.
However, I think I’m moving on from him.
I like him in the role of a clarion-calling standard bearer, and his presidency was the best I have ever seen.
I don’t like him in terms of his failure to be a team player. I’m not even sure I like him as a kingmaker. Calling out numbers to make him look good, in a severely-disappointing election shows me he doesn’t care about the boots on the ground, but only how he looks.
Reagan faced the same Establishment hate and Media mocking, but he had a great way of playful rebuttal, with a twinkle in his eye and a little smile. America loved that. All the attacks mustered against him, failed, because he was able to gently turn it around on his attacker with a witty quip or a well thought out fact.
Reagan was also the author of the phrase, the 11th commandment, which was “Thou shall not attack a fellow Republican.”
Trump, on the other hand, has a serious ego problem. He cannot resist getting into a public verbal fight with anyone who criticizes him. While this was fresh and new in 2016, and propelled him into the presidency, it doesn’t work in 2022.
Also, the way Trump fights back is not nearly as good as Reagan’s style. Trump hasn’t got the charm of Reagan, and it’s beginning to hurt our side.
It is for these reasons that I must move on from Donald Trump. Sir, thank you for your incredibly wonderful service in 2016 through 2020. You made those years prosperous and sane. But it is time to move on.
I’m likely to get a ton of flak for this post. That’s okay, I can take it.
Ooo! Great zing!
Patton was a good general. But Trump is no Patton.
People have a view of Patton that is really Coppola’s words based on Bradley’s stories. He was a much deeper person than the general public knows. He was an Olympian and a poet.
Trump is a loud New York real estate guy. He knows how to work a room and bring attention to himself.
He proved himself to be a poor manager. He is absolutely not a team player. And he never owns his mistakes or how his mouth gets him in trouble.
I voted for him in primaries and the general election because he was the best choice. That’s not the case anymore.
Plus he is as old as dirt.
I don’t care what you supervised.
Dingbat.
I’ll take it for what it’s worth!
Thanks, Bikkuri!
‘Face
;o]
Cajones?
Crates?
His crates aren’t big enough?
Not gonna disagree
I also have a personal issue with him.
What is the population of this Nation? If Trump is all we have, we are most surely toast.
Maybe my original member number, which is under 50 [was my REAL name, thereby exposing me to the wrath of doxxing Lefties], allows me to insult n00bies who have been here 23 years less than I have.
Actually, I’m not vaxxed myself and staunchly against mandates. Gayfrisker hates me because I call out the idiotic posts by Q followers that claim crazy things about the vaccines that hurt the anti-mandate cause and make us look like nuts.
He’s also taken advantage of when JimRob was laid up in hospital to make weird threats and creepy sexual comments to me. Not a nice person.
You should try posting in English instead of Fettermanese some time, CatTerd...
I can actually sympathize with your wanting to change moniker here from that of your real name. Why can’t you extend me the same courtesy? I had to get q new screen name after a family illness requiring a move, change of email address and forgotten password.
"Says the guy with the Zot ping list.
Way to go take grow FR "
[hugs]
Great to see you ;)
Hope all is going as well as can be.. We all have to hang in there :P
No, the one making creepy sexual comments to you, that was me.
"Maybe my original member number, which is under 50 [was my REAL name, thereby exposing me to the wrath of doxxing Lefties], allows me to insult n00bies who have been here 23 years less than I have."
LOL, tell me there is not actually a shirt like that!
Freepmail me about it, please.
You need some RAP music
Yes, I am aware of that.
I checked out CatHerd many months ago, over an "iffy" attitude.
Didn't realize The Herd was a she, though. :)
Good on you for taking the time to check, Laz!
When I typed in “I’m with Laz” in the duck, that’s what came up.
