Republicans Say Americans Are Willing to Suffer Higher Prices for Trump

[Cranesbill]

you know that bitch exaggerates lies

Everyone does in politics

But at least he has more transparency than any other President so at least we got something to fact track if he’s telling the truth

You've known Trump for years, you know that bitch exaggerates, everything takes time for good healing

He could... really take a lesson in shouting his mouth from time to time ngl

Like, I hope we can agree that the dude puts himself in holes because more often then not he cannot stop talking

Once a showman always a showman I guess

Still waiting on the price of eggs to go down

Due to the bird flu, the farmers had to cull their chickens, and now we have to wait for the newly-hatched hens to mature enough to lay new eggs. So buckle up, it's gonna be like this for a few months. :/

30,573 lies in his first term:

Here's just a few big ones so far this term:

He speaks from his mind, why do you think hardcore Americans like him, he acts like their own thoughts

He doesn't sugarcoat anything

Oh of course you picked CNN

(Second term) They're not even lies that affect the country, these are things he believes, do I agree with them, not all of them, but just passionate thoughts he either considers or tries to make it factual

I'm not sure where you're getting this claim but it's objectively incorrect. Trump's misleading claims are so frequent and problematic that they have their own Wikipedia page.

Trump's strategy largely relies, as many politicians, on his followers blindly believing and supporting what he says, leading to the cult of personality-type following he has today. Trump's frequent lies and incorrect statements are likely a contributing factor behind why the nation is so divided today.

I don't really think that is any good, he is, like it or not, a very influential person for a lot of people, and everything he says has power and needs to be scrutinize. Been a public figure, specially the president of one of the most important countries in the western front, means you gotta be careful with what you say or you end with stuff like Jan 6

And I don't care if you think it was an insurrection attempt or not or if Trump really meant for people to make a mess in the Capitol like they did, it was still a shitshow and his word ignited it

But at the same time, he have the ability to knock sense out of people who believe their corruption was justified

republicans are mistaken
if there's one word i can describe americans as, it's selfish


twenty million dollars is like one day of military spending

Or two trips for Trump to go to the Superbowl and leave half way through them.

Or one Sunday to his golf club, where all our tax money is going back to Trump.

One day of Sunday golf that's like a few hundred dollars is worse than 544 days of a president's vacation? good one

Here's the numbers from his last term: A breakdown of travel costs to various golf resorts totaled $141,450,266, Expenses includes the cost of flights to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster; law enforcement personnel costs for trips to Bedminster and Palm Beach; Coast Guard protections for Trump's Mar-a-Lago getaways; government-funded resort stays and luxury vehicle rentals in Turnberry, Scotland, another Trump-owned property. Lodging for Defense Department personnel is paid to the Trump foundation.

Sounds better than $350 billion of taxpayer money being sent to Ukraine that apparently most of it got "lost"

Not only ignoring the evidence leading to the cost of each golf day for Trump, but ignoring that the vacation day count for Biden came from including weekend days, which was not done for Trump.

Even taking that in, Biden still took more day offs than any other president

And more irresponsible with tax payer money where billions are now missing

Oh yes, the claim Trump made, where he also claimed the US put up more aid to Ukraine than any other nation. Both which were fact-checked and found to be false.

At what point are you going to realize that maybe you should check into what Trump says instead of just taking his word for it?

 

[AdenTheThird]

Actually, this is false as well. George W. Bush took 1,020 days off as President, which is the current record.

We’ve literally given the most money solo

The media is grouping all European countries together and pretend they given out the most

And that shouldn’t excuse that billions of dollars are still missing

Fuck Bush, who cares about Bush

Fine I’ll specify, most day offs for any modern President

Including George W. Bush? Numbers are, Biden was out for 256 days when not including weekend days like the RNC tried to do. Trump was out for 380 days. Pretty sure Trump's numbers are greater than Biden's numbers, but both pale in comparison to Bush's 1020 days over 8 years (average 510 days per term).

Hey, when you claim "Biden still took more day offs than any other president", don't get upset that someone fact-checked you.

"Modern"?

Modern according to who? To what? To your own whim?

Bush was President from 2001-2009. That's not modern?

You got fact checked, so you literally change the criteria so you're right rather than accept that you were incorrect?
