    What do you feel was a half truth or negative spin?

    Did trump not ask for an injured orphaned infant to be brought back to the hospital for a photo shoot? Yes or no?
    Did trump grin and give a thumbs up? Yes or no
    Did the trump administration lie and say this wasn’t staged? Yes or no?

    I have no outrage.
    Disgust would be a better word to describe my feelings.

    I expect nothing less from trump and his supporters

    You were disgusted before and you will be disgusted after.

    Nothings changed in the least.

    Now I'm going to contradict my own post #47.... based on this tweet from some reporter

    upload_2019-8-9_22-0-3.png

    I don't know what to believe on the presence of the baby at the hospital, but there's no doubt Trumps goofy mugging is a Yugely bad optical...

    The rest seems to be up for debate depending on who you talk to...

    How many people said that? I lived there and live near it now. The Christian people in El Paso who love their guns, fence between them and Juarez and are proud to call themselves patriotic Americans (something the left rarely does and never describes) love Trump. Your dishonest media can always dig up a few people, maybe even pay them, to say something negative about anyone.

    It's simple, nobody is going to take this thread seriously.

    A photo was taken. That's it. This isn't news. It doesn't deserve a thread. This is just some fabricated bullshit attempt to bash trump.

    So when you get these types if responses, it's because nobody has an ounce of respect for the garbage attempts to bash trump over nothing.

    The child’s father was an avid trump supporter as is the entire family so it’s not up for debate. They would have likely volunteered the child for the photo shoot.

    But the optics are horrible, as with just about everything he does.

    The level of disgust grows daily.
    I have gone from fairly neutral on trump to completely against him and almost everything he represents.
    His supporters have gone from liking him to forming a cult around him.

    I hated the almost worship like praise that Obama received from his band but trump supporters are on an entirely new level.

    Damn, still miss that guy.... almost 3 years later... we HAVE to find better things for ex-Presidents to do in this country....

    Thanks for putting a smile on my face...

    "No one arranged for the photo beforehand but FLOTUS decided to hold the baby, who has a broken hand..."

    What?!? How dare Melania hold the baby!!!! And with the Trump-supporting family looking on! And someone decided to photograph it! Quick, cue the outrage!!!! OMG!

    It will be fun watching the lefties try to backpedal on this one now :roflol:

    Every thread about trump eventually gets punted to Obama, Hillary, the msm, or some other scapegoat.

    Nothing with trump is taken seriously, from either side. And that’s the problem.

    What's a Beto?

    Where I live in Las Cruces national politics means nothing. These people care about the issues which impact them, which means they're all oblivious to all the crap happening on the coasts. If these people ever turned on their tv and saw what the left was doing they'd think they're nuts. There is no racial tension here, no protests or riots, they sorta cared about the illegals until my city was flooded with them which caused shoplifting and car burglaries to sky rocket, now they want the illegals gone and people have stopped donating to the places where they were being held. When it comes to illegals, the people who supported them got smacked in the face with reality and that changed a lot of minds. The people here can easily see the costs and impact of illegals, in the big coastal cities all that gets absorbed into their large budgets or buried completely. My city has 100,000 people and over 12,000 illegals...sorry, refugees. Turn NYC or San Fran's population into 12% illegal and people will see things differently, especially when their stores are being robbed and car broken into.

    Is that baby boy not a living victim?

    Obama is gone and he isn't coming back.

    Let the dream die.

    I have seen no outrage in this thread, care to point it out?
    A few posters saying the optics are terrible and that trump is a garbage human with zero ability to be aware of his surroundings, but zero outrage.

    It’s expected at this point.

    Yes its expected that the orange man bad crowd will make a weak argument, and then move on to the next like it hasn't happened constantly for the last 2.5 years.

    Let me ask you-does it seem like perpetual outrage is a winning strategy?

    Because it's so incredibly easy to find obama doing the same exact thing and the left saying nothing.

    Do you get that?

    The hypocrisy from the left is astounding.

    If people like you would've held Obama to the same standard it wouldn't be so damn easy to show the hypocrisy in your fake outrage.

    Understand that it has been predetermined that everything trump does, he's going to be bashed for it. The left will never look at anything he does objectively. It's pathetic. Don't ever expect to be taken seriously until you stop with the double standard nonsense.

    While I will certainly agree that some of the things trump is attacked for are quite pathetic it’s the overall trend that has caught so many by surprise.


    Ignoring everything like the trumpets have done for the last 2.5 years definitely seems to be a winning strategy;

    First president in history to no have a single day of majority popular support.

    Do you promise not to act outraged and confused when Trump wins reelection via the electoral college?

    I hated Obama so I have no idea what you are even referring to...

    Guess you have to throw in assumptions now to justify the deflections...

    Whatever

    More of the disgust you keep demonstrating.

    Eternal fury isn't a winning strategy.

    I will hold the same position I have always held. One that trump also holds.

    The EC is garbage. As is the duopoly and fptp.

    But yes I promise not to be outraged or confused, as I will be neither.

    If he loses will you make the same promise or will you just disappear?

    I expect more from our leaders than lies and corruption.

    Unfortunately I am a very small minority it seems
