it's more like if we dig back 5 years anyone can be found saying something that contradicts their behavior on some level or another. There's a reason hypocrisy isn't very persuasive


It just shows us Trump doesn't have real principles or genuine beliefs on certain issues... he could give advice to not celebrate before a deal is done, but later celebrate(and lie) about a deal before it's done, and not have any issue with it in his head.

Which "liberals" (not including foreigners) actually bitch as opposed to offer legitimate criticisms as informed people?

big difference between mostly what happens here and what the label trying to be applied represents

During this entire process I'm not sure I could name more than 2 or 3 Americans here I'd consider shitposters or "bitchers" that oppose/d Trump and now some/many of his policies and I can't think of any on the top of my head tbh




That's because you're biased. You think that if you keep calling the Hillarite crowd, the only reasonable posters, that it will become true.

Trump tweeted he liked you.

Trumps tweets have a complex identity that doesn't fit into a binary true/false system

The identity of any given tweet is fluid, one day it could be the brutal honest truth, the next day the same tweet can simply be a humourous joke, at other times it's a brilliant troll intended to send the media into a frenzy, and sometimes it's designed to elicit a specific response from international targets

You need a very high iq and the ability to play 4d chess to understand the brilliance with which each tweet is woven, fully intended to vary in meaning over time


Or lets try to apply common sense. One way to do so is to look at how Trump behaved on Twitter after meeting with other countries heads of states.

Off the top of my head he met with Russia, China, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Israel & various others. I don't follow Trump daily like some of you on here do but it seemed to me that every time he met with one of these heads of state the subsequent tweets went along something along the lines of " Just met with ________, wonderful guy, we are very good friends and think we can get a lot of things done!"

I mean it's been pretty much the same formula over and over.

You keep trying to apply logic for these foos. It won't work. They have already decided Trump is evil.

I don't think anyone here has identified with a party and called out their own more than me

including myself

I've been too generalizing in the past about trump supporters and republicans

I've at times been blindly critical of Trump because I despise his lack of character

I've talked at people rather than talked to them at times

I've insulted the intelligence of people in creative yet disrespectful ways that do not meet the requirements of how I wish to conduct myself more consistently

Oh so you admit you're a troll. My bad, I didn't think we would come to agreement so rapidly.

Confusing goodwill nothings with false statements about significant issues.
