Your pResident promised you that Mexico would pay for his border wall. Well, guess whos paying for it now - and I'll be damned if it isn't your own sweet self.
Your pResident promised a healthcare plan that would cover everyone more cheaply and efficiently than Obamacare. So exactly what happened to that coverage? Are you really still waiting for it?
Your pResident promised to bring jobs back to the USA but he still has all of his branded merchandise manufactured in low-wage countries. But dont take my word for it just check the made in China label on your MAGA hat.
Your pResident promised to populate his administration with the best people. Ever wonder why so many of those best people have been indicted, fired, or resigned? If he had hired the best people when he said he would, why are they being replaced on a weekly basis?
Your pResident promised to be too busy working for you to have time to play golf. Have you ever wondered why he has so much time on his hands, he has spent almost 25% of his time in office on the links?
Your pResident promised to drain the swamp of corrupt government officials. So why are so many of his appointees under investigation for everything from colluding with the Russians to using taxpayer dollars to fund personal vacations, extravagant office furnishings, and unnecessary first-class travel?
Your pResident promised to wipe-out the national debt while in office. So why is the country further in debt than its ever been in history?
Your pResident promised to lower taxes for the hard-working middle-class. So why did his tax reform give millions of dollars in tax-breaks to the wealthy, while giving a paltry pittance to people like you?
Your pResident held himself out as being a very stable genius. Have you ever wondered why your genius cant spell, cant put a coherent sentence together, and has to be spoon-fed his daily briefings because he doesnt understand them?
Your pResident represented himself as a successful businessman. Are you completely unaware of his multiple bankruptcies, and the fact that he has been sued hundreds of times for failing to pay labourers and material suppliers who worked for him and were cheated out of their due compensation?
You insisted that your pResident is a good Christian. Do you think that good Christians mock the disabled, refer to Nazis and white supremacists as fine people, and have to pay off porn stars in order to secure their silence about their sexual proclivities?
Your pResident swore an oath to defend and protect the country he was elected to serve. So why did he hand over highly-classified information to our enemies, the Russians, in the Oval Office? Why does he insult our traditional allies, while praising Putin at every opportunity? Why was his response to Putins claim that he can wipe-out the US complete with a graphic showing nuclear hits on Florida a tweet-storm about Alec Baldwins SNL performaces?
Your pResident represented himself as the champion of downtrodden Americans. So why are our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico still without electricity? Do you really believe that throwing rolls of paper towels at people is demonstrative of caring for our fellow Americans, or that tweeting covfeve is a display of leadership?
Face the facts, Trumpster idiots youve been had BIGLY! Nothing that was promised has been delivered; nothing you counted on has come to fruition. You have been played as the ultimate suckers and if youre too God-damned stupid to recognize that by now, there is no hope for you.
You will continue to wait for your coal-mining jobs to miraculously reappear. You will continue to pray for your Trump-promised jobs to come back. You will continue to believe that a man who has lied to you repeatedly is somehow telling the truth. You will persist in your delusional belief that the man who cant face the children of Parkland is a fearless leader who would have faced a crazed gunman without hesitation in order to protect them.
You will drown in your own idiocy, your own abject stupidity, your own inability to differentiate between fact and FOX-News propaganda.
Your messiah, the man who you believed would save you from those crazy libtard ideas like access to healthcare, a decent education for your children, freedom from crushing national debt, and a strengthening of international cooperation that would make our country safe has actually accomplished NOTHING. And yet you believe that any day now, he will deliver on the promises he made to people like you the people he disdains because they were dumb enough to vote for him in the first place.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and youd better be content with thoughts and prayers, because you wont be getting anything more from your pussy-grabbing, lying, racist, Putin-loving Messiah anytime soon.
We patriots who love our country dont hate you we pity you. We wonder how you were dumb enough to fall for a snake-oil salesman; we are amazed at how easily duped you were. But we decent Americans will continue to protect your rights, protect your freedoms, and protect our nation from all enemies (foreign AND domestic), whether you deserve that protection or not. (And BTW, you dont.)
We are willing to forgive but we wont forget. Its not that we are as childishly revenge-seeking as the immature idiot you support its just that we have learned that you cant be trusted. And we will conduct ourselves accordingly because you have left us no other choice.

(13,081 posts)There are the literally thousands of negatives to Trump, but you forget: he also doesnt have ovaries.
How are we, mere mortals, supposed to weigh such difficult binaries? Are we all supposed to be possessed of the wisdom of Solomon all of a sudden? Who among us could be expected to make the choice between hundreds of character flaws & lies & greed & abject stupidity, and the lack of Lady Parts?

That is all that matters to the folks.

The Wizard
(12,536 posts)foul air, foul water and low wages are good for you. We're talking about a weird cult that hates education, hates all things not Republican and believes professional wrestling is a competitive sport. They support a dick wad who ridiculed a disabled reporter, a jerkoff who said he could shoot someone on Fifth Ave. and not loose a vote.
The litany of offenses is endless. Trump's biggest success is exploiting America's deliberate dumbing down.

Doesn't matter, though: WE know the truth, WE aren't dissuaded by the right's mendacity, and we will show up in droves to topple this bassackwards joke of a regime in November.

(100,041 posts)They're like the nihilis5s in The Big Lebowski- they believe in nothing. Oh sure they'll tell you that they believe in Jesus, and that they are more holy than the next guy, but when you get right down to it, they have no beliefs. No morals. No ethics. No conscious. No compassion. No shame. Nothing that makes them human. If they did, we'd be a lot better off as a society.

(799 posts)Great post!
I'm willing to kick in $100 to have a slightly toned-down and slightly less insulting version of this published as a guest editorial in my local newspaper. Anybody with me on this? Maybe you can actually reach a few people outside of d u. It's all true, we just need to raise awareness, Pretend We're Faux News and shout it from the rooftops.

(4,291 posts)The mostly-white lower-middle class voters thought the American dream theyd been promised was slipping away because of countless immigrants arriving on our shores.
The Repukes saw an opportunity to play on those fears by turning on the hate-ray. And then when Drumpf got the nomination, saw no other alternative than to get behind him and hope everything turned out.
Fear does amazing things. It happened in Germany in the 1930s. And its happening here. Now.

(19,187 posts)for recs on this one! And don't ever expect an answer to any of these questions by the Trump cult. All they can do is shout, TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!
Those are the only phrases they know. They're the least educated portion of American society, AND IT SHOWS!
