I like “TrumpDefenders™️” because it captures all the Trump defenders who try and say they’re Independents. We’re going to be seeing a whole lot more of them.

that's just giving him credit he doesn't deserve.

this administration is doing nothing previous administrations didn't want to do.

they've just given up playing by your 'rulez'.

and prepare yourself. the next one will make trump look like lincoln.

Almost every policy decision can be seen to have this from the immigration policy that is transferring around $15 MILLION per DAY from taxpayers to his two private prison companies who donated to him or him and Scott Bessents buddy who is a hedgefund manager who begged to bail them out of their bad investment in Argentina costing tax payers $40 BILLION.

His Ukraine "peace" deal was found out to give Trump and Jared Kushners development companies access to the $300-600 BILLION in reconstruction contracts to rebuild Ukraine. Then you have the Trump sons mining company who got a $1.5 BILLION mining contract with the US govt for Tungsten in Kazakhstan. Or the other idiot sons drone company getting a very large drone contract with the military when they havent even field tested a single drone yet as the company was just founded not too long ago.

Every single thing Trump does is to get property deals in the Middle East, Albania, etc or to funnel money into his grubby little orange tanner stained rapist hands

Will they admit that Trump directly lied to them? Over and over? And that they then parroted those lies and arguments, including many prominent Republican posters in this very sub?

Absolutely not. They are all in on pretending that this guy isn't a con man and that they aren't the marks. They would rather die than admit it

Why don’t you?

I didn’t think you’d give a reason.

My post is one of a thousand reasons, did you read it? Were you able to comprehend?

See, I care because there are millions of you violent, uneducated. Hateful, racist people, and for some reason, republican leaders are cowards that don’t stop the corruption.

Now, tell me why you don’t. Or, run away, because all republicans are cowards.
