So the only Trumphumper I have any regular contact with told me...

Last edited Mon Mar 16, 2020, 08:26 PM - Edit history (1)

..."Trump has really bungled the coronavirus outbreak," so he will be voting for Joe Biden.

I was stunned to hear that, as just late last week he was still defending the moron.

I hope this is a growing trend among other T-humpers.

He hated that he had no answer anytime i compared trump doing the exact same things obama did that trump used to criticize him for. And i wonder how he will see the coming bailouts; since he was against the ones in 09.
Funny how THIS guy is the one who unfriended me on FB; seeing as how i even have a couple "biker for trump" friends. He's educated, but leaves it at the door when the topic is trump. Its amazing to see.

Tue Mar 17, 2020, 11:22 AM
Mar 2020

that makes her think he is so wonderful and pointed out that he hasn't done anything at all to help their situation. Her reply was "I support president Trump because he is not corrupt like all the Democrats. Would not listen to anything about Trump University, self dealing in his charity foundation, nepotism or his destruction of our nation and just kept repeating how he gives his salary back to the US. I don't think she is a faux news viewer or any other source of news viewer as she is woefully uninformed; getting all her opinions from her brother. There is just no answer for people like her.

ask them to name something major that limbaugh has actually been right about - weapons of mass destruction, iraq, global warming, benghazi, coronavirus....

Rush Limpbaugh is trumps chief of communications. Rush is the reason trump bungled this whole covid-19 fiasco. Rush is the reason trump shut down the government. And yet he continues to sit his fat a$$ in his booth, ALONE, with no opposition worth noting.

and the left and dems can force the ad industry to kill the rw radio monopoly and put the assholes out of biz by demonstrating with AI how easy it is to boycott all RW radio advertisers
