Something I agree with the Trump administration on

Does Dear Leader send the daily talking points by text or is it email?

Are we back to bragging about how great the stock market is today or are we still talking about how it has to get worse before it gets better?

Do we support the veterans this week or are they just a line item that’s is okay to cut?
Are you really trying to bring up talking points with all the dems saying the same thing the last few weeks

Dude, you guys say the same exact things over and over and over again and, it doesn’t matter what your opinion is, if Trump comes out with an opposing opinion, every single one of you immediately change your views.

You’re not reading closely enough if you believe this. While most conservatives on here have similar overarching ideas, we vary greatly on details. In order to be conservative, similar views are inherently required.

I would challenge you to present a real case of me ever changing my view on any subject just because Trump, or anyone else, changed theirs. If you can’t show that then your “every single one of you” narrative collapses. So go ahead.

It's easier for him to cling to the TDS narrative than to actually think for himself. That is if he's able to...

I think DJT has actually adopted many of our views for many different reasons than we have adopted his.

Liberals like him use the absolutes such as "always", "never", "every", etc. and it doesn't play or age well for them.

"It's easier for you to cling to the MAGA narrative than to actually think for yourself. That's if you are able to."

"Grocery prices will drop on the first day and I'll end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours."

And you voted for Pedo-Joe and The Toe.

The audacity it takes for you to bash this administration is unfathomable.

See here's the thing, no one I know that voted for trump took those claims literally. The only people that do are libs, like yourself, and never trumpers. Not one politician in the last 40 years have told the truth but somehow trump is the only one held to his word.

I've made that point to him to no avail.

No one thinks Trump can snap his fingers and end a war between two foreign countries in a day.

It's their hatred. They're so focused on finding fault, they can't see the forest through the trees.

Pedo-Joe said he would cure cancer.

How many conservatives are calling him out for that?
 
Clearly you two didn’t get the sarcasm and hypocrisy as it relates to the post I was replying to.

And for what it’s worth, I never for once thought these things would happen on day one but I 100% believe a huge faction of the MAGA cult thought they would and voted for him as a result.

I believe the majority voted for Trump because of the previous 4 years and the alternative of not voting for him the next 4 years.

Democrats are doing this to themselves and they just don't get it. Progressives have destroyed the Democrat party.

Did you know polls show that Democrats are no longer "The party of The People?"

The two-party system sucks. Loyalty to a party is toxic for America 🇺🇸

Making America Great Again is not a cult either.

Right you clearly didn't but you think his voters did. How very self righteous of you

I believe you are wrong and I believe Trump is hurting the party right now. If he doesn’t change course, I think you’ll see it in the mid-terms.

The man is doing some great things with regards to the border and backing China in to a corner. He also understands that we have waste in spending that needs addressing. He’s taken his approach to an extreme, though, that makes him look frantic and desperate. He could have accomplished what he’s trying to accomplish in a much more diplomatic and strategic way without all the antics and it would have been better received, likely more effective, and vastly less damaging.

I agree with you on the two party system.

The literal interpretation of making America great again isn’t a cult but when you turn it in to what MAGA of 2025 represents, it is. Not to mention, while this country isn’t perfect, compared to much of this planet, it’s already great.

It doesn't show in the polls. As for mid-terms history shows it doesn't bode well for the party in control. So if the right does well, and I think it will, that should tell you something.

I'm not in a cult and I agree with MAGA.

Yes, America is still the place to be, but it is off track. Trump is making the right moves to get it back on track.

The problem for some seems to be that the administration is working at a 12 hour a day, 7 day a week pace when they are used to seeing government move slower than an arthritic turtle.

Why take 6 months to fix something that can be fixed in six weeks, that in the past has been talked about but not fixed in 6, or 60, years? The trade issue has been a problem since 1972 when we suffered our first trade deficit. That’s 53 consecutive years of sending out more money than what we’re bringing in, and it gets worse every year.

Had the CEO tell me once “ we’re going to aim the train down the track and hit full throttle. If it jumps the track, we’ll stop and put it back on, but we are not going to waste another second not moving forward”. That’s decisive leadership. You know where you want to go, so go. You can spend decades on analysis, going through every scenario, and still get derailed or, worse yet, never start. A stationary target is the first one killed. Start running and adjust on the fly, but keep moving forward.

We need bold action. If we don’t change we are looking at 150% debt to GDP in less than 5 years. Two ways to fix that, slash spending and increase GDP more rapidly. Tariffs are the one thing that can boost GDP faster than anything else.

Yes bold action but at the same time you need to have a plan of what to do if the train jumps the tracks, that's been the problem with this tariff rollout

First, that’s what you’re being told by people that want to see failure, it’s not what you know on any level.

And no, you don’t need a plan for every contingency. You need a firm commitment to the final objective. That was kind of the whole point to my previous post. If you want to have a plan for every contingency you are stuck because you can always come up with another potential problem when dealing with a million moving parts.

Throwing shit out on a whim isn't a plan. There was no thought on implementation at all and that's patently obvious based off of how quickly trumps changed his mind on what is and is not exempt.

How is it not? There has been absolutely no rhyme or reason for how tariffs have been implemented except for blanket 10% on everyone. All of a sudden let's give a 90 day break. All of a sudden let's exempt chips comps and cell phones. It's all been haphazard at best.

Thinking Scott Bassent didn’t have a plan is the absolute definition of having an uninformed opinion. It’s all feelings derived from media spin and butt Trumper mania.

No shit trumps been talking about it for forty years. So has every politician ever elected until trump became president. That doesn't negate the fact that they look completely lost on this roll out. Bessent needs to be the point man and him only he's the only one that can communicate what's going on effectively. Instead there are 87 people saying 87 different things looking like none of them have any clue what's going on.

87 people? Interesting. I’ve seen exactly 3 or 4 people on network interviews and a whole lot of print narrative stating “unnamed sources saying”….. Where have we heard that before? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
