The millions who voted for Trump didn't care that he:
- Mocked the disabled
- Bragged about sexual assault
- Refused to release his tax returns like every other candidate.
- Engaged in junior high level name-calling of his primary(and general election) opponents
- Sued(and settled) for running a sham university
- Offered no policies or legislative agenda other than repealing ObamaCare, building "a wall" and "bombing terrorists"
- Had(and still does) one of the lowest fact-check records of all politicians.
- Started Obama-birther theories.
- "Lock her up".
- Wanted reporters locked-up for...reporting.
- Encouraging protesters be beat up.
- Calling Mexicans murders and rapists.
After becoming POTUS his followers still refuse to jump ship despite the following:
- His entire inner-circle is being investigated for collusion.
- He refused to sell off his interest in his company.
- Leaked classified info to Russian officials in the oval office.
- Publicly Argues with a military widow.
- Fired the FBI director
- Apparently confessed to obstructing justice(via twitter).
- Defended neo-nazis
Now, its one thing to support the candidates because of their policies, or political ideology. But other than "undo-Obama" what exactly is Trump's political ideology?
Even IF trump had a tangible political agenda, what does it say about his supporters when they are still willing to follow him despite all of his non-sense and illegal behavior? I find it funny how his supports complain about the NFL protests being disrespectful to the flag, when the man they voted for called America "a dump" and said the world is "laughing at us".
Despite all of the above - 35% of the country still approves this guy. If they have followed Trump this far, why wouldn't they approve of Trump suspending elections and declaring himself emperor?
Why would you say people don't care about it? There were multiple things I didn't like. I just disliked Hilary more. I voted more for scotus picks.
Also you may not like "But Hilary" but when she is the other candidate it is a legitimate response. But you should also call out your candidates flaws. Anyway to the top part of this post.
He didn't mock the disabled. He mocked a disabled persons the same way he has mocked numerous others without disabilities. Regardless he shouldn't mock people.
"Let me" and there are so far zero credible claims that he assault someone. It was still a stupid and bad thing to say but it was a private conversation and I'm sure many people have horrible sounding statements in private.
You are right, I don't care whatsoever about his tax returns.
All candidates were slinging mud. Hilary included. He sounded like an ass at times. I would have preferred him not to do that.
His uni stuff did bother me.
He offered his tax brackets and commitment to help small business. Something that affects me. There were other things he laid out as well but it would have been nice to hear more potential policies.
Yes bothersome.
He didn't start them but it was stupid to pursue it.
As she should be locked up. People have been locked up for less.
Don't really remember that but I'm sure there was more to it.
Meh shouldn't have said it but you are right, not high on my list of give a shit. Especially when the "protestors" outside were rioting, assaulting people, burning and destroying property, false imprisonment(restricting free movement).
He didn't call all Mexicans those things. He called some illegal aliens those things and it is true. Murder, drug trafficking, human trafficking, kidnapping, rapists, general crime, etc.
I found his comments (pow) on John McCain absolutely despicable.
I find many of his Twitter ramblings to be face palm worthy.
I'm not a fan of him but I feel your post is a bit disingenuous.
