I believe not at all.  I believe his supporters are so anxious to fight the last battle they are blind to what is ahead.  This tit for tat politic battle has raged for three decades now and is destroying our country yet neither side is capable of letting the past go and moving boldly into the future.  The children have taken the riegns and we adults have not ;put them back in their place.  The politics for the last 30 years has been "oh yeah, well he started it!"  I don't suffeer this berhavior from my own children but i have to suffer it from idiots because they have the vote.  We are undr the tyranny of ninnys.

Great post in a string of great posts from you in here.    Good points about him burning bridges in the party and being a lame duck this time around.   

Can't believe these are our choices again.

So, none of this was actually racist. He was making a nimrod joke. He wasn't attacking her heritage by calling her nimrod.

Obviously, childish & immature, he thinks these nicknames are funny, obviously. He's got one for everybody. I think it's dumb but, whatever.

@Reality is a giant dbag, but gotta agree here.  Trump was calling her stupid, not being racist.   Not sure why multiple other posters keep saying “but he just called her by name” though.  He didn’t.

Most of the liberals I have met, do not have much of a sense of humor. They are working hard to remove humor out of our culture.

No joke: Feds are banning humorous electronic messages on highways

https://apnews.com/article/ban-humorous-messages-electronic-highway-signs-3c7b0d11475d2b255f7edd197af771cc#:~:text=Administration officials said overhead electronic signs with obscure,they can be misunderstood or distracting to drivers.

 

Da fuq?!  They'll steal our funny signs from our cold, dead hands!   

Quote

Among those that will be disappearing are messages such as “Use Yah Blinkah” in Massachusetts; “Visiting in-laws? Slow down, get there late,” from Ohio; “Don’t drive Star Spangled Hammered,” from Pennsylvania; “Hocus pocus, drive with focus” from New Jersey; and “Hands on the wheel, not your meal” from Arizona.

 

 

Arizona has more than 300 electronic signs above its highways. For the last seven years, the state Department of Transportation has held a contest to find the funniest and most creative messages.

Anyone could submit ideas, drawing more than 3,700 entries last year. The winners were “Seatbelts always pass a vibe check” and “I’m just a sign asking drivers to use turn signals.”

“The humor part of it, we kind of like,” said state Rep. David Cook, a Republican from Globe, told Phoenix TV station CBS 5. “I think in Arizona the majority of us do, if not all of us.”

He said he didn’t understand the fuss.

“Why are you trying to have the federal government come in and tell us what we can do in our own state? Prime example that the federal government is not focusing on what they need to be.”

Seriously, we all enjoy the humor in the signs, which also have a message that we would otherwise ignore with a bland sign.

Ah yes, the ol “Trump is an expert troll!” line.

I mean, if that’s what you look for in the leader of the free world, I can’t help you

He trolls around in your head 24x7. That's not what most normal people think of as a troll.

What you are talking about is a an infectious illness that attacks the minds of liberals in this country. 

Maybe do something nice for your liberal friends and start a TDS support group in your area. That could gain some traction and possibly help people inflicted with that sickness. Enlist a local psychiatrist and see if he will help once a week on your charity work.

What you think is more likely - Trump is playing this level of trolling and purposely thinking out these "dog whistles",  or that he is just immature and a bit dumb?  

It's a well-practiced sociopathic bullying habit that he has found sucess with in his business dealings. Just say whatever you want, no matter how outrageously false, about the perceived enemies and get away with it because his cultists will blindly lap it up and worship him like a god.

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday went after Nikki Haley while referring to her by her first name, Nimrata, in the latest example of Trump using racist dog whistles to attack his GOP presidential rival.

Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants and was born Nimrata Nikki Randhawa. She took her husband Michael Haley’s last name after they married.

Trump misspelled Nimrata as “Nimrada” as he attacked her in a new post on his social media platform Truth Social.

“Anyone listening to Nikki ‘Nimrada’ Haley’s wacked out speech last night, would think that she won the Iowa Primary. She didn’t, and she couldn’t even beat a very flawed Ron DeSanctimonious, who’s out of money, and out of hope,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump also recently amplified a post that falsely claimed Haley was ineligible to run for president because her parents were not US citizens at the time of her birth. Haley was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, and is a US citizen.

Who would back such an assh0le?

You realize all of politics is just a game, right?

just because you don’t like how Trump plays the game doesn’t make it wrong. 
 

plus he’s going to win the game

Agreed it is a bullying tactic that he likely used in business and has already had success with in politics. 
 

as I said above, politics is a game and this is the way he plays it. It’s been successful. Just because that bothers you doesn’t discredit its success.

There is so much more to be bothered by than his bullying tactics. Hitler was successful. Napoleon was successful. Stalin was successful.

Success doesn't necessarily mean he's good for our country. He's not. If he gets back in there, it's going to be an even bigger sh!tshow than his first four years in office.

His bullying tactics don't bother me at all. Every politician engages in bullying tactics. You're just confused because they pull the wool over your eyes as career/polished politicians while Trump is a celebrity who entered politics and doesn't care if he ruffles feathers. The politicians you are used to ruffles feathers after they leave office and we discover the toxic stuff after the fact. 

His first 4 years in office were far more successful than anything Joe Biden has accomplished to date. Sorry, it's just true. 

throwing out comparisons to Hitler, Stalin etc just because his brashness triggers you is lazy. You believe we live in a democracy, right? (even though we really don't) but it's not a dictatorship. You can hate everything the man does but he will never be a dictator. The same way Biden is not a communist.

Hold up. You don't like Napoleon and did you just compare him to Hitler and Stalin?

Have you ever heard of the Napoleonic code you monkey?

Ah, yes lets bring up Hitler and Stalin. Lets just casually throw warmongering dictators who murder millions out there to compare to Donald Trump: the most peaceful, least murderous foreign adventure seeking president of our lifetime.

The boogeyman Trump only exists in your imagination.

I think the reason you're going to have trouble successfully fearmongering people about President Trump is because they've already seen what his presidency is like and can easily compare and contrast how that went to the poopy pants guy you people installed to replace him.

He didn't take a loss on Twitter. People that say that don't know how money works. He moved it to another company and used it as a write off.

I think it was pretty good. The states were the problem. Some states. But it was unprecedented, so I guess we will have to wait until another one to get an apt comparison.  What issues did you have?

Not his fault the China virus Fauci helped fund got out.   As far as his handling of the virus, he did great.  Fastest release of a vaccine in history.  All the "experts" said it would take 2 years.  He did it in less than one.

“Great” overall can probably be debated, but the vaccine was easily his greatest achievement on covid, weird that many conservatives don’t seem to agree.

He was certainly more pro-lockdown than say, Desantis, but I don’t really blame him for that early on and I know he wanted to stuff to be open.

His biggest mistake however was probably being too supportive of China early on, even separate from the lab leak discussion talk he kept saying how great of a job they were doing.   He didn’t really become critical of them until about 2 months later.
