    Oh, yes, most definitely. Trump should be judged on what he has done.

    And I accurately described what he has done.

    Some people have a very serious problem communicating.

    I believe the poster is one of Trump's fans. Your first clue is, we haven't the slightest idea of what he is talking about.

    This partially explains the poster's thinking. Why did his base vote for him? First, because they are gullible and believed everything Trump promised. They still do. Second, because most are anarchists or disaffected workers and farmers who blame the government for all their troubles. They voted for anarchy, and that is what they got.

    That explains why they are still very happy with Trump. They got what they wanted.

    This poster appears to be quite happy with Trump, although that is an assumption on my part. We still don't know what the poster was trying to communicate.

    LOL. I’m not a fan of trumps. But I love butthurt. The pain people are in just because some guy has a made up title (president).

    I posted it because the poster I responded to was seething and really needs to calm down. I’m nothing politically, and wish above all else for both sides to chill out.

    People like that literally need to deal with it. So I googled deal with it gifs, the trump one popped up and it seemed too much of a fit to pass up. Do my post history, I don’t Trump this and a Trump that.

    Well, that explains everything.

    That and the fact that you resent a thread that concerns Trump's foibles.

    But you are not a Trump fan. Right. 8)

    So now to be validated I have to participate by taking a side in this joke of a system we call democracy? No thanks. Both parties suck. And it’s pathetic when I hear people, like I’m somehow a lesser because I refuse to pick either idiotic side.

    I comment on lots of different threads on this forum, the fact I chose to post that gif is proof of nothing.

    Look, this is a DISCUSSION board, not 4 chan, which is really an image board,. We communicate with WORDS, OK?.

    I've heard that some boards have actually banned memes, maybe we should do that.

    I'm seething because this ******* and his sycophants are destroying my HOME, I've lived here all my life, I can't really go anywhere else and I don't want to anyway, but life in the fascist paradise these Trumptards want will be distinctly unpleasant for me, and I'm not an immigrant or a muslim or a black, I'm just not a fascist and in the end that's the only kind of person these people want,

    The meme has words on it GOSH!

    We both know you secretly lork 4ch0n. It’s ok.

    Yes, I contribute to 4chan, because I find more value in anonymity and random, unfiltered thought. Something about it is pure. My issue with people like you is that I only have a very short time on this rock. And I choose not to spend it worrying about something I have no chance at changing. It’s a self-defeating prophecy. Instead, I laugh at life, and give it the respect it deserves - zero. Now, this is not to say I don’t respect people. I’m a pragmatist. I treat others like I’d like to be treated. But, in philosophy, I’m an existential nihilist.

    The key is not to lose the game, and you lost. Don’t fret on people’s bait, and beyond don’t get triggered, DONT HAVE TRIGGERS. You should feel safe regardless of where you’re at. The issue isn’t your environment, it’s your perception of your environment that threatens you. But rest assured, I posted that simply to get a rise. I am not a Trumper, check my post history. And do yourself a favor and stop hating a group you can’t change. Especially idiots.

    Well, then, please explain to me the positive nature of his policies. For your convenience here is what I said.

    "In Trump's case that would be leaving the TPP he now wants to rejoin, removing the U.S. as broker for Middle East peace because of his unilateral decision regarding Jerusalem, removing the U.S. from the Paris Accord which is attempting to control global warming, placing steep steel and aluminum tariffs on our friends and trading partners, weakening NATO and the G-7, and removing the U.S. from an agreement that permanently banned Iran from making a nuke."

    If that is the case, why in the world did you join a political discussion group?

    Facts are facts. How people interpret them is what makes them different. You and I have differing opinions on what is good or bad. Get over it.

    The TPP like other multinational trade agreements are more to the benefit of the countries other than the U.S. That is actually their purpose but we seem to fall for it every time. We don't need government agreements in order to trade. The private sector can handle it just fine.

    He moved an embassy. That changed nothing. It affected nothing. It made the Israelis feel better. No harm done. I don't care. I can't imagine why you do.

    Since I view global warming as more of a political issue than a scientific one, I'm against anything that would allow other countries to take our money for a political purpose. The purpose of the agreement was to get U.S. dollars.

    The tariffs were placed in order to make Trump stronger as he attempts to negotiate the lessening or elimination of tariffs and barriers. It may not work but, if it does, we will all benefit. He is trying to promote free trade. You may not want it but I do.

    The Iran agreement didn't permanently ban Iran from making Nukes. The ban was temporary. This is one fact you got wrong. Go read it. The agreement was an embarrassment for me as it was for Trump.

    Because it’s everywhere. It’s in my family, it’s ever constant, the persistent regurgitating of talking points and factoids from one side to the other. CONSTANTvitriol with little substance.

    Literally, each party defines itself by saying how bad the other party sucks. If there isn’t a more pathetic circumstance than that, I don’t know what is.

    The very fundamental construct of this system sucks. It is clear as day that the goal of such a system is divide the public, while they’re simultaneously taken to the cleaners. And the idiots just slop it right up, like pigs at a trough. And IMO, pigs actually are the more righteous. At least they don’t care they’re being indignant. Each political side, while being no better than a **** flinging monkey, stands behind some self-righteous virtues, like they actually stand for something good. It’s disgusting. And it has become a pet-peeve of mine. So, I’m here in attempts to show everyone how ugly they’re being.

    The goal is to realize, both sides of this political argument I. The US are WRONG.

    This is a good one.

    I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump!

    At times, Trump can be a real comedian.

    So Trump is putting on tariffs are to promote Free Trade

    Gotta love the conservative mind. You certainly will never understand it

    OK. And if donald cured cancer (I mean actually did it, not falsely taking the credit for it) I'd be thrilled about it.

    So we can see my post is no more silly than yours.
