About a third of the people on this forum would just make excuses for him.
What core value has Donald Trump ever held?
He talks like a conservative out of the right side of his mouth and talks like a socialist out of the other.
He claims HE is going to make America Great again. Not let the American people do it (like Reagan) but he alone (like Obama).
Trump thinks that with a pen and a phone he can make the utopia he envisions.
And people here fall for it like this was Jonestown and we were all getting ready for a kool aid party.
He has at least one core value: himself. Nonstop self promotion.
If anything his crowds are making him think it’s a movement.
Pro-Americanism. During his whole public career, he's expressed concern about the economic and physical security of Americans. In regard to the topic of the article, he's been talking about keeping American jobs from going overseas and rebalancing the horrible trade deficit since at least the 1980s. He's also been very hard on crime and pro-police and pro-death penalty also since at least the 1980s. He's also been outspoken about cracking down on terrorism since at least 2000.
He claims HE is going to make America Great again. Not let the American people do it (like Reagan) but he alone (like Obama).
Did you just make that up? He just about always says "we." He closes almost all of his rallies by saying, "We can made America greater than ever before" or "We are going to make America [or "our country"] great again." He's also explicitly told a few crowds, "It's not me. It's you," while pointing at them.
Building things/buying things made in America is a core CONSERVATIVE VALUE. Supporting corporations to manufacture in Chine using suicidal coolies is gloBULLism at its worst. This has NOTHING to do with unions. Unions are tiny fraction of the manufacturing work force.
