Kut's Trump Approval Thread #1 (Starts Out at 100%)

[IndyDave1776]

Just watched Pres., Trump speech, in Italy .....

Commentator, speaks the truth,


bho, lessened the LEADERSHIP role, of the U.S.,

and HELPED our enemies .....

I have said this before, and will say it for the next 4 years .....

WE now have a COMMANDER in CHIEF .....

NOT a chicken in chief .....

JMHO ..... YMMV .....

Wait a minute here! Isn't being equated with Obama an awfully harsh thing to say about a chicken who never did anything to you?

 

[jbombelli]

They're delusional. They think all the world's problems can be solved by stealing other people's money and by assuming that everyone is inherently peaceful. It's the kind of problem solving you find in kindergarten classes and beauty pageants.

Maybe it's because the U. S. Americans don't have maps?

 

[hoosierdoc]

I personally believe...

Some people, even in this thread, prefer a chicken. They think that's how we earn respect around the world.

This is one of the things I don't mind about Trump. At lest he's not a *****.

The reasons we garner respect now has nothing to do with this inarticulate, bumbling boob, bully. He can bluster all day long, but the biggest reason we garner respect has more to do with the size of our economy, army, and not the incompetent idiot we now call President.

So are you saying that for the previous 8 years we didn't have any of that?

 

[Dddrees]

No, but in this case where foreign leaders often have to stand next to the boob we currently have and speak for him it's even more so.

 

[jamil]

So. You're really not saying anything but. "I don't like Trump. He's a boob."

 

[Dddrees]

No actually I'm saying he's an embarrassment. When a visiting foreign leader has to explain and or speak for our President because he is unable to, he is an embarrassment and an idiot.

Yep. That's a face palmer. But to be clear, you're not saying that "the biggest reason we garner respect has more to do with the size of our economy, army, and not the incompetent idiot we now call President."

Well then maybe we still garner respect because of our economy, or military, and not because that bumbling boob often requires his babysitters to explain what he said isn't what he really meant or interpret in terms where it seems more reasonable.

You can get professional help for TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). You might want to look into it.

Many of them have turned to yoga....

Sometimes that helps but some people need far more than yoga. TDS manifests differently in different people.

I always thought it was Trump Acquired Reactive Derangement Syndrome.

I recommend hemlock therapy. Fast, simple, and permanent.

Not near the embarrassment we've suffered for the last 8 years?

 

[Kutnupe14]

Yep, not by a longshot.... Trump reached that level of embarrassment in less than a year.... which, in the words of Darth Vader, is "impressive."

When OP is locked post #5 will continue the scoring. UPDATED - can't amend post #1 nor #5, so just look for the most recent of my scoring posts.

So it's now President Donald J. Trump. He gets a clean slate. He starts out with a 100% approval rating from me. However, as his presidency continues, I will rate his actions. It may go down, it may go up (if less than 100), but I will explain why he loses or gains points. I figure this is the best way to do this rather than post numerous individual threads about his presidency. Good natured debate is welcome, bad natured debate is not, and if pervasive without moderator intervention, I'll simply go back to my original plan and post a bunch of "Trump" threads.

Other member's ratings are welcome.

Anyways.
