Bart, of course I do not read everything in this thread - how could I - nor do I answer everything. I rely on people using the report button if necessary. I don't pretend here, or anywhere else on this forum.
You do not have to read every post here, the selected post are there to help you understand why people dislike Trump, and his politics.
You can not say things like this:
The hatred of Trump is something else - impossible to understand - and nobody seems to be able to give a coherent reason as to why they feel that way!
And then completely ignore a collection of posts that explain exactly what you asked.
It is disingenuous to participate in this thread so often, and pretend you do not know why people object to Trump and his politics.
You do not have to agree with an argument to acknowledge it exists.
Otherwise, the problem is not that you do not understand why people oppose Trump, it is more that you do not understand why people do not agree with you.
I really hope you understand that difference.
The point as I see it is that Trump hatred seemed to break out back in 2016 at about the time it became clear he was a serious contender to be president. Before that he appeared on various TV shows, and as far as I know nobody was upset about him.
No, of course not.
As a fake CEO, sitting in a fake board room, he could not do no much harm to the rest of the world.
Nobody really cared, except maybe the people he scammed with Trump university, the contractors he stiffed, the people who lost money in his bankruptcies, the minorities he discriminated against, the wives he divorced, or cheated on, ...
But now he is blurring the separation of branches of government, openly opposing a free press, setting back environmental regulations back decades, actively working towards a dictatorship, and so much more.
Now he is president, I'd like to read some discussion of Trumpian policies - rather than simply name calling. I have never known a time in politics - here or in the US - when political debate descended into mere name calling on the part of one side.
Irony is completely lost on you David.
Also, if it is true, it is not name calling.
Isn't anyone here interested in debating Trump's economic results. If it isn't really a success, can anyone explain why?
You mean the excellent economy he inherited from Obama, who pulled it from a deep crisis into a succes?
You mean the money he lost for all the farmers with his trade wars? The deregulating protection on subprime mortgages and derivatives, so he is setting the world up for a repeat of 2008?
Are you talking about his reverse Robin Hood policies where he steals from the poor to give to the rich.
Isn't anyone interested in debating his approach to potential conflict around the World?
His tendency to throw anybody out who doesn't agree with him, his mistrust in intelligence services, combined with his trust in dictators an religious nut cases worries me greatly.
Isn't anyone prepared to discuss Trump's immigration policy - particularly in relation to that adopted by Obama - which certainly wasn't a free for all.
Isn't anyone willing to debate his policy regarding 'sanctuary cities'. Are these sanctuaries a good idea or not.
