I'm not talking about you kids. I'm talking about those who participated in his first election. I guess when I say you guys, I mean the ones who have done some name-calling, and personally, I'd fight back if I were verbally abused.
My Mexican wife and I heard the whole speech, not just what you were focusing on. You have to admit he was telling the truth because there are rapist and killer illegal aliens in the US and some of those include Mexican.
This shouldnt be a big surprise but it's actually republican citizens who voted him in. Media outlets don't get to vote.
It's a hilarious habit for luke warm trump supporters to BLAME others foe their support of the man.
Do you mean Trump lying and his critics calling him out and then Trump fighting back at being called out?
Obama didn't fight back and republicans were awful, awful with him.
I don’t really care what you or your wife excused from his speech. That’s where the pushback against him started.
You don’t think giving a speech where you try to paint one group of people as the source of a country’s problems is deserving of some pushback? That’s not to be expected in your world? Just because you agree with his points doesn’t mean they aren’t bad points or coming from a hateful place.
Of course, we've operated on party tribalism for a long time, but the media exposed me to Trump politics.
A different time, we weren't as vicious as we are today. Tribal politics is awful. America would be a better place if we could find common ground.
So the media did it's job by exposing candidates to the voting public.
Trump was the president, LITERALLY right after Obama.
How can that possibly happen when a leader speaks the way Trump does?
And rightly so, because his speech was xenophobic and racist.
It's the only reason. The "free media" on all of the "news channels" plus the rewriting of his image as "rich" by his (un)reality show.
Racism became popular during Obama, but the Trump admin is when all the viciousness was directed toward him. He is a racist, fascist, and a Russian collusion, then Trump retaliated with Fake News and his viciousness toward the left.
Stooped? That show saved his bacon. He was a huckster who was always selling courses that he didn't develop or teach or know who did teach them. I don't mean his "university" but courses such as were taught all the time in NYC - how to line dance, how to use power tools (for apartment dwellers), etc. (since replaced with Youtube and TikTok). He sold real estate and business courses - they were not well reviewed.
Yes, stooped. Successful businessmen don't host reality shows. Trump had fallen to the point he was doing TV either for the money or because he was effectively out of business. His TV show hosting was a signal to me that he was washed up in business.
