Does this bother you?

Kind of sad when you have to dig up six year posts to get dirt on a guy because you have nothing to work with.

that he's a massive hypocrite who contracts himself constantly and only says what he thinks will benefit him the most at that given moment? the fact that he has absolutely no principles other than promoting himself?

yes, yes it does.

attacking the person making the argument is one of the best ways to demonstrate you can't actually talk about the argument, so thanks.

Lowering the corporate tax rate will actually provide a nice incentive to post more jobs here in the US.

Except with all the other kickbacks of this law, they're actually able to pay less here before transferring the rest overseas. Meaning they'll send more jobs overseas AND get paid by our government, essentially.

That's exactly what you're doing.

"Obama is a lying homophobe because he used to not support gay marriage!"

Just like it's also easy to point out that Trump uses factories overseas to make his clothing lines.

no, im giving a demonstration of Trump's behavior and using that to make assertions about his character. i found and presented an example of Trump being a hypocrite and changing his tune when it suits him best, betraying his principles and beliefs as a matter of convenience to his own personal gain and then i asserted that he does those things. you're upset I'm criticizing your glorious leader (and with solid evidence to back my claims) so you attack me, instead of what I'm saying.

even if you can find an example of me doing those things i am criticizing Trump for, that still fails to address any of the points i'm making about him.

Are you new to politics or something? There's nothing unprecedented about Trumps shittyness.

This phenomenon of people just now losing their minds over Trump doing things they were perfectly willing to remain ignorant to before his arrival is utterly fascinating.

So are you saying people should remain ignorant or that they should accept it or what.

Anyway, people have been talking about actual politicians being corrupt pieces of shit since at least Ancient Rome, so idk what you're going for here.

lol. actually he's literally the most unpopular president since we've been keeping track. his approval rating at this time of the year, in the first term, is TEN POINTS lower than the next most unpopular one. he objectively sucks.

edit for sauce:

Trump's average approval rating Saturday at just 37.1 percent. Dating all the way back to President Harry Truman in 1945, at Day 337 of their first term every president had an approval rating at least ten percentage points better than where Trump stands now at the same point in his first term
