Umm, he's a complete fucking liar. There really isn't an argument against that...I mean he's a politician for gods sake lol. If you really want I'll post a list of lies he has told. I mean, come on. Sorry if you can't handle that.
Oh noze! http://www.rasmussenreports.com/pub...ry_2017/57_of_democrats_want_trump_to_succeed 57% of Democrats Want Trump to Succeed
Well duh!!! Only a moron would want a president to fail. It's in everyone's best interest for him (or her) to succeed. I genuinely wanted G.W. Bush to succeed. That he didn't is irrelevant. This post is just stating the obvious.....
The new head of the SEC defending Wall Street operatives against the SEC. Reportedly Trump had considered another candidate, but decided against her as she, while being a top corporate attorney, had also been a former prosecutor with a reputation for being tough who had prosecuted gang violence and financial fraud. Trump did not want a tough prosecutor in the job. Fill the swamp!
He is going to be president, we can only hope he succeeds, and does well in the job. It doesn't mean democrats agree with what he is doing or will do. Unfortunately he is the president, and I think most people on all sides of the spectrum want him to do well and protect this country, yet he hasn't been inaugurated yet, and he is already best friends with Putin, using Twitter as a pulpit for his absurd rants (Trumpspeak) saying things no president should say, and the list goes on, et al. As a Democrat, as an American, I hope that he will be a successful president, that he will help this country, but his lack of experience, his actions, and his fragile temperament thus far leave little optimism. I want him to be a successful president. I want his presidency not to be a con job, for the government not to become a kleptocracy. But, you wish in one hand and shit in the other, and guess what you get first.
I think deep down they want him to be a good president, to succeed, there is still just a lot of anger, its all still fresh. There is a lot of fear.
"Do you want the president to succeed?" is a loaded question. It implies that the President succeeds in bringing forth the agenda that the President wants. If you don't agree with the agenda, why would you want the president to succeed in bringing about an agenda you disagree with? This is not mutually exclusive with wanting America to succeed. Surely the President's agenda could be thwarted, but America still succeeds. Or, the President could change the agenda to one that is more palatable and those same 43% could then say, no I want the President to succeed at that.
It used to be normal. We have (mostly) forgotten what life was like before 2008. Everyone, well, the big majority, wanted the incoming president to succeed in the sense that they hoped the country would continue to get better, problems solved, life improved, etc. Even if they did not vote for the incoming president. And Congress acted in the same manner. Of course the opposing party tried to get some of their agenda. But they never said they wanted a new president to fail. Until 2008. When Rush Limbaugh shouted he wanted Obama to fail. Some Republicans tried to dissent, to remember it's one country and Obama's victory was unquestionable. They were blasted over talk radio/TV and lined up to apologize to Limbaugh. And then Trump and others floated the idea the President was not really the President because he was not American-born, so was not legitimate and undeserving of respect given the office. And the very day President Obama was inaugurated, Senator McConnell gathered the Republican congressional leaders, House and Senate, to vow to block everything he tried to do. Even the things they supported had to be blocked to keep him from having a victory. So to say 57% (actually a pretty low percentage) of Democrats say they want Trump to succeed is to say 57% of Democrats want to go back to the way the country used to act. Before Barack Obama had the nerve to be black.
Fair enough. The media is going to stir up shit and incite anger towards him until his 8 years are done, though.
