This is an ironic criticism. He’s allowed to name call, insult, and trash anyone and everyone in public, but woe to those who criticize him? It’s comments like this from his followers that makes the whole thing feel like a cult of personality.

Republican platform

Speaking of platforms, did they ever find who changed it at the last RNC? Seems strange that anyone would change it to favor Russia over Ukraine. So much for the integrity of platforms, especially since a Republican Governor signed an abortion funding bill.

Opinion | The Trump Voters Whose ‘Need for Chaos’ Obliterates Everything Else World News
For those interested in the study itself, here is a link to a pre-print of the paper about which the article reported. https://psyarxiv.com/6m4ts/ The NYT hits on key take aways from the authors - the reinforcement of “hostile political rumors” through social media, “chaos incitement” as a “ ’ strategy of last resort by marginalized status-seekers,’ willing to adopt disruptive tactics". "Trump … has consistently sought to strengthen the perception that America is in chaos, a perception that ha…

Platforms mean little, if those trying to implement those platforms are incapable of getting the job done. Our country is divided just about down the middle. One side demonizes the other. That is why compromise is impossible.
 
It was a simple question. It is ironic the left see criticism in every single comment made about Trump.

And his followers stand up and applaud, anything and everything he says and does, like a communist party convention applauding the latest triumphs of the Politburo.

Something like Harris laughing and saying “well said” when a follower of hers made a derogatory comment.
 
Nope. And I do not plan to vote for him in 2020.
As for the Trump’s names for people, it seems a big infantile.
“I rubber, you’re glue. What you say bounces off of me and sticks to you…” :roll_eyes:
 
Just curious, do you have someone else in mind, or are you abstaining?
 
So your vote wont change things. The question will be, will enough to people that voted for Trump either not vote, vote for another candidate or will people that didn’t vote in 2016 go out and vote for the democrat.
 
ways to remember names:
  1. Focus on the person. The instant you meet someone, give him or her your undivided attention. …
  2. Repeat their name aloud. …
  3. Ask a question. …
  4. Repeat his or her name silently. …
  5. Make a vivid association between their name and something familiar to you. …
  6. Conclude the interaction with his or her name.
Making a vivid association between a name and something familiar is a clever way to recall a name. 😀

All I can control is what I do. And I can encourage others to be part of the process.
I will say this. A vote for anyone other than the Democratic candidate is a vote for Trump. Had just a few more people voted for Clinton in 2016, we would not be where we are today.
 
Yea, we wouldnt have
  • Almost 4 million jobs created since the election.
  • More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history.
  • 400,000 manufacturing jobs since the election.
  • Manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than THREE DECADES.
  • Economic growth last quarter hit 4.2 percent.
  • New unemployment claims recently hit a 49-year low.
  • Median household income has hit the highest level ever recorded.
  • African-American unemployment has recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
  • Hispanic-American unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded.
  • Asian-American unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded.
  • Women’s unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years.
  • Youth unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century.
  • Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma.
  • veterans’ unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years.
  • Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election.
  • 95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future—the highest ever.
    ANWR and approved Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines.
  • Record number of regulations eliminated.
  • The United States is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957.
  • Withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord.
  • Cancelled the illegal, anti-coal, so-called Clean Power Plan.
  • Confirmed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
  • Moved U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
  • Issued Executive Order to keep open Guantanamo Bay.
  • Concluded a historic U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal to replace NAFTA. And negotiations with Canada are underway as we speak.
  • Reached a breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports.
  • Imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security.
  • Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices.
  • Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion this year.
  • And a $700 billion trans-Pacific trade deal with China.
The measurable facts are most Americans are better off today than three years ago. Had clinton won, we would still be in the same shape as three years ago.

I dont mind them. I think it’s common in politics. It isn’t a new phenomenon. Some of them are a tad sophomoric, but so is almost every campaign ad. And that’s what they are. Propaganda. Which has been employed in some form in all of politics. And yes I can imagine George Washington calling someone a red coat, or Lincoln calling a guy Bob the Confederate etc. In fact George w. Bush was often called nicknames by his opponents, and even Democrats used the term slick willie for a certain president.

No, its not usual. The term “Slick Willie” was coined by a newspaperman in AR, not a statesman.
