Can you deny that Trump is creating conditions that weaken our faith in government?
Yes. I do not suffer from TDS. And why exactly should I have faith in a government that has repeatedly shown itself corrupt and inept? I believe in our founding principles... I don not believe in the self-serving deep state that is running the country.
- Believes Putin over his own intelligence agencies.
His own intelligence agencies were actively working against him. I wouldn't trust them either. President Truman, who helped establish the CIA was later troubled by them expanding their role outside of intelligence gathering into manipulation and disinformation. He said, "“the most important thing was to guard against the chance of intelligence being used to influence or to lead the President into unwise decisions.” Gee, does that sound familiar? But no, he does not believe Putin over his own agencies. Another talking point that sounds good to libs but falls flat on examination.
- Attacks the FBI.
Rightly so. They are guilty of incredible malfeasance. If you are unaware of their shenanigans, you need to read more and turn off MSNBC for a week. The evidence of FBI misconduct is overwhelming.
- Puts industry lobbyists into his cabinet positions.
Yawn...just like every other president...remember when Obama said there would be no lobbyists in his White House? Oops. He had dozens including Eric Holder... so did Bush.
- Lies about his dealings, lies about corona virus.
Can't refute "dealings" as who knows what that vague term means, but what LIE has he told about corona virus. One of the most overhyped, media driven frenzies ever concerning health. Not even the ebola scare had this much pearl clutching from the media...then again, a dem was President at that time.
- Attacks NATO
NATO is a cold war era relic that was ENTIRELY dependent on the US for it's continued existence. Trump rightly had them "man up" and start contributing their "fair share". You libs like that term...except when it goes against your political leanings.
- Attacks the Free Press
Again, rightly so. The "free press" has, and continues to beclown itself on a daily basis. Reporters now think themselves activists whose job is to influence people, not report the facts and let people decide. They hype EVERYTHING from a winter storm to what some idiot actor thinks about politics. They have FORFEITED the respect they think they deserve by breathlessly citing anonymous sources, building narratives truth be damned, and most importantly, leaving out facts that would soften or counter their agenda driven "news." I say, let the American Pravda die and be replaced by the few really good reporters left.
