Ya, I'm sure the leader of the free world spends his days reading a nerdy comic book and movies forum lol.

As far as I know, only myself and Fly have proudly acknowledged to being truly right wing (others who agree with some conservative positions just seem to indicate they are not looney leftists and are only voting Trump because he is not nearly as bad as the democrats).
There is no way Blake is more right-wing than I am lol.
One other thing, I am no longer sure I will even be voting Trump anymore. I might not vote at all. Trump has flipped-flopped on vaccines and said some other stuff that I am not comfortable with (though he still is not nearly as bad as any of the baby-killing democrats, that's for sure) like saying wearing a mask is patriotic.
At first, Trump said that when the vaccine comes out it will not be mandatory. Then he switched and said "people have to get their shots". Being able to refuse to take a dangerous vaccine (and yes, they're dangerous don't kid yourself) is extremely important to me.
I put it right up there with being pro-life and having the right to bear arms in importance. So unless Trump clarifies that the vaccine will not be mandatory I probably can't vote for him nor will I probably vote for anyone else.

Many on the right here are good people, bada, snowdragon, imp, they say what they think, they don't gaslight and they aren't bigoted. I mean no offence scribble I've seen you defend Jordan Petersons views on pronouns then attack members on here for the same thing he does. Personally, I feel people should be defined as they wish to be in regards to gender for example.
If the virus is not a threat, why not just release the empirical data proving it, rather than some half-assed attempt at 16-D chess?
Look, dude. Please understand that I DO NOT HATE Trump. Despite my seemingly scathing OP, I honestly have an extreme amount of admiration for him, and to me, he was always the epitome of success and prosperity even when I was a kid. I don't think he's stupid, and I don't think his wealth or his status are undeserved. He spent decades being an icon of prosperity, and when Hillary tried to use him as a pawn, it backfired on her and Trump managed to go from being the epitome of success to the epitome of power. He truly victoriously won it.
But....that's the problem. The presidency isn't to be WON. It's not a competition of winners and losers. It's a responsibility of bipartisan compromise. While Trump has shown that he has the ability to reach the crown, he has continuously shown that he lacks the integrity to wear it. Note that I don't blame him, as he comes from the world of real estate and entertainment, two EXTREMELY competitive and cutthroat fields which combine excess of spectacle with lack of scruples for profit, which is fine for those fields. Unfortunately, his abrasive attitude is not fitting for a position of government, which is ideally about bipartisan cooperation for the greater good.
Truthfully, I want Trump to happily retire. He is an amazing and iconic entrepreneur who truly fought his way to the absolute top, and he has nothing more to prove to the world. He has already hinted that he has other plans if he doesn't win, and his hair is looking whiter than Obama's from all of the stress. I think that he and his family should get out of the political crossfire, retire into the sunset and not worry about the government, as the world seems to constantly be rethinking it's entire geopolitical stance.
So, quite simply, I don't hate Trump, but it's too important of a time in history for him to be trying to carve his name in it purely for the prestige.

Really good post. I don't admire or like Trump like you do - I always thought he was a useful high-powered *sshole (which is exactly what he is). I just don't like mean people. He's effective. So I can appreciate that.
Anyway, yes, super glad you came back to the GDF. We need more people to post here with good content so it's not just the same 6-7 people constantly at each other's throats, trolling.

Thank you for complimenting my post. It's very appreciated. To me, Trump is the very epitome of not being the president America needs, but the one it deserves, especially right now. He has clawed his way to the top (and anyone who says "daddy bankrolled him" doesn't understand the difference between million and BILLION), and was entertaining as hell while doing it, but he is now eternally stuck in that competitive mode. It is essentially happens when the American Dream becomes The American Coma. What makes it interesting to me is the hypocrisy of his haters, the ones who claim to want to overthrow his corrupt system, but secretly want to replace him as it's beneficiaries.
The thing with Trump is that he seems like an Ubermenschian character, reaching the epitome of success and power under his own unique will and morality, outside the bureaucracy of governments and religious institutions. Because of this, he is somewhat of a singularity, where both his proponents and opponents see themselves as underdogs on the edge.
Of course what both groups don't realize is that Trump is not an Ubermensch, and that the only reason he won was because Hillary also clearly wanted the Oval Office purely as a throne and Trump getting elected was a failed tactic to get it , as liberal constituents had enough integrity not to have their vote held hostage (which is why Trump 2016 had less votes than Romney 2012 and still won the Electoral College by winning states that Obama had dominated previously).
The reason Trump is not an Ubermensch is the oddly enough the same reason he got elected, which is that he has no background in politics. As I have repeatedly stated, Trump has no desire to administrate responsibly, as he only sees the Oval Office as The Iron Throne (hate referencing that..."show" ). It is a trophy for him, and that is all that it is. He clearly doesn't understand the burden that comes with the power of presidency, and only views it as The World's Most Powerful Title. Honestly, his naivete, thinking he can market Goya during this crisis, is kind of cute, but lest we forget, this is THE PRESIDENCY, where every second and every decision costs at the least millions in taxpayer dollars and at the most millions of people's actual lives. The world is going through several crises that need an intelligent and compassionate voice to quell them, not one abrasive and boastful like Trump. While he does deserve to appreciate the height of his success, he has to do so in the privacy of retirement, not in public office in the middle of a global upheaval.
The point is simple, Trump definitely a successful dude, but he IS NOT QUALIFIED for the presidency, and he has to be replaced ASAP.

All the people that voted for Hillary are truly brainwashed. They actually thought she deserved it. The thought it was owed to her. She wanted to be crowned queen and rule on the iron throne as well
She also has been in power most of her life and her mad her husband are responsible for some of the worst atrocities in modern history.
Giving China Nuclear Secrets
Beghazi (sorry she was responsible, buck stops with her)
The Crime Bill
Sub Prime Mortgage Crisis
Not Killing Osama Bin Ladin
All of those make her unqualified. The average brainwashed sicofent here will ignore all of those and say “But Trump, But Bush, But Donuts”
Trumps crimes? Oh he went into bankruptcy and contractors didn’t get paid. Most idiots here don’t know that a federal judge oversees bankruptcy and decides if the person qualifies and how it’s going to be handled. It’s really laughable
If we want to talk about Trump making a tweet about Goya, while not be politically correct. Ever heard of Solydra?? Obama’s 400+ million failure where he tried to pick winners and losers and it failed?
I’m sure you didn’t even know about Solydra.
Should we talk about Russian Interference? Does anyone remember who was President from 2008-2016, because it sure must have been Trump from 2008-2016 for as much as he was blamed for it. Oh and while Trump was President from 2008-2016 did you know after he won another term from 2016-2020 they launched an investigation on him about it to?
Now the same people who Trump for non Russian collusion are going to vote for Biden who collided with Ukraine and China for seeetheart deals for his son.

Okay let's address some stuff here. First and mainly, why in the hell are you still moaning about 2016 Hillary voters? In 2020?? I literally just explained how liberals WERE NOT stupid, because they DID NOT vote for her, which is why she DID NOT win. You are complaining about liberals being dumb....for something that liberal's WEREN'T dumb enough to do.
As far as the amount of blood on Hillary's hands compared to Trump, of course, she was in politics for decades, whereas he was "just" a famous media personality. Just because he wasn't ordering drone strikes for decades doesn't mean he was a good boi just tendin to hisself. Let's not forget his Central Park Five accusations, which he is still too prideful to fully refute.
As far as Soldyra, no, I'll admit I haven't heard of it, but that's because Obama wasn't unprofessional enough to have him and his daughter tweet about it during a global crisis.
As far as Russian interference, I think it's pretty clear that both parties have engaged in arguably treasonous Watergate esque tactics against each other, so accusing either side of unethical dirt-digging is the pot calling the kettle black imo.
I understand that you want to believe that Biden is worse than Trump, but quite simply, it's beyond politics at this point and truly a matter of integrity of demeanor. Trump ceaselessly acts like a petulant competitor, and that attitude representing the country will lead to nothing but a world of global jingoism. As I stated, the world needs someone right now who is compassionate and intelligent enough to bring cooperation, compromise, and evolution of living standards to the world's various factions, rather than someone belligerent and domineering who only wishes to incite tribalism. If Trump started shitting out the cure for COVID tomorrow, I still wouldn't vote for him. He simply lacks the responsibility, humility, and discipline necessary for such an important leadership position.

The bizarre thing about election interference is we all do it. And by "we" I mean all major powers in the world. It might take on different forms, but we all do it.
It doesn't justify others doing it, but if it's such a horrible thing then how come we do it?
And with the internet there is no way we can stop it all. No way other than cracking down China style on it.
