Trump has been following the constitution. Otherwise, how would he be able to do the great things he's been able to accomplish?
He actually does deserve respect because it's very impressive how much he's been able to accomplish in 2 months.
Don't believe anything the media tries to do to spin the truth. We're finally headed in the right direction and our children will actually have a future now.
The best thing is this is what the majority of the country voted for and the majority of the country supports Trump and his policies. Gotta love Democracy!
Now that's rich coming from a party who supports Hamas terrorists and is against deporting ms13 and tren de agua gangs, think it's fair for men to dominate women in their sports, and think it's okay to burn Teslas because the owner supposedly did a Nazi salute and is fighting waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer's money. That my friend is the true meaning of brainwashed.
Those domestic terrorists are still on the left. You are associated with them and they hold the same views. They also all think Elon is a Nazi and have TDS. Just sad.
Your argument is based on broad generalizations and misrepresentations. Most people on the left (such as myself) don’t support terrorism, oppose violence, and believe in due process for individuals facing deportation. Labeling the entire political spectrum based on extreme actions of a few is not only misleading but counterproductive. Disagreeing with someone politically, whether it’s Elon Musk or others, doesn’t equate to endorsing extremism or having a mental condition. Let's stick to facts and try to engage in meaningful, respectful dialogue instead of resorting to insults.
Fair point. So you are against deporting ms13 and tren de agua gang members who terrorize American communities. Do you seriously believe that they wouldn't verify that these gang members were not in fact criminals prior to deporting them? Where do you want them returned in case they were to fly these people back? Would you mind flying them over to your neighborhood? These are honest questions. The majority of Americans support Trump's policies and that's they voted for him.
You raise valid concerns about safety, but we can address these issues without resorting to blanket policies. It's not about ignoring the seriousness of crime but ensuring due process, which includes verifying criminal records and providing fair trials. Deporting individuals without this could result in unjust outcomes, especially if their records are misrepresented or inaccurate.
As for returning individuals, countries typically have agreements and processes in place to handle deportations responsibly, not randomly sending people back without consideration of their legal status and risks.
While it's true that some people support Trump's policies, it doesn't mean those policies are universally correct or the only way forward. Policies should be discussed based on fairness and facts, not just popularity. The goal should be a balanced approach that prioritizes justice, security, and human rights.
The fraud and wasteful spending is actually being investigated with DOGE. Trillions in US taxpayer’s dollars will be saved. Look at the mass deportations and lowest number of illegal crossings through the border. The border is actually secured. Illegal immigrant criminals deported. A ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine that can lead to a lasting peace. Tariffs that have been charged against American goods are rightfully charged the same to other countries with reciprocal tariffs. Education will be up to the individual states rather than the bloated, wasteful, and ineffective department of education. Women can be safe from males competing in their sports and invading their locker rooms and showers. Racist DEI policies eliminated. Hostages being released from terrorists in Gaza. Peace through strength by destroying the Houthis, restoring shipping routes in the Red Sea. America takes back Panama Canal which was dominated by China. Gulf of America. Military recruitment levels are at higher levels as well as morale restored in the military.
DOGE hasn’t saved us anything, and it hasn’t uncovered anything. What you see DOGE listing are records that were already publicly available to you, and they’re contracts the US is locally required to pay, regardless of what DOGE said. SCOTUS even ruled that all those contracts must be paid in full, so all DOGE has been doing is laying off employees for departments, not government officials. It means nothing is being saved, and nothing is being resolved aside from creating bigger issues. If you don’t believe me, look up any one of the contracts DOGE mentioned and look up its current status. You’ll see they’re still paying it out, as only Congress can stop them, not DOGE.
Nothing changed on the border. Nothing at all. Mexico and Canada are already doing what they were already doing. Less illegal immigrants were deported than Biden’s average. Trump is still responsible for killing the strongest border deal ever, a deal that was agreed by both republicans and democrats, but made Biden look too good in front of Trump.
Biden had ceasefire deals, but Russia broke them over and over. Trumps ceasefire doesn’t hold any value because 1.) Russia will break it like they did the rest and 2.) Trump isn’t negotiating for Ukraine, he’s Putin’s puppet. Ukraine has nothing from Trump as assurance.
Tariffs are taxing you more. They’re harming American goods, they’re harming the farm industry, and they’ve only harmed our economy so far. Every economist have already determined nothing good will come from tariffs.
States were already financing their own educations. Not the federal government. Not like red states followed department of education anyways since the most uneducated states were red states.
Women are in more danger now than ever, especially in red states.
DEI policies didn’t negatively impact anything, just republicans feelings.
Hostages were being released under Biden. Mass genocide isn’t solving Houthis, it’s making it worse, it’s making more radicals, more terrorists.
Gulf of America isn’t recognized by the rest of the world, it’s not official, and also does nothing beneficial.
America already controls Panama, not China. An American company owns both ports on either side, meaning America profits off ALL trade through the Canal, not China. Trading is measured in US currency as well, so America makes month in all trades in that sense, not China.
Nothing was true on what you said about the military either.
Trump has done nothing so far. You’re a fool and a sheep to believe those without fact checking them. Everything you mentioned, you could have just researched more, but you chose not to. You’re choosing ignorance, which makes you part of the problem.
Look up each contract on that DOGE tracker and see if it was actually cut. You’ll be sorely disappointed when you find out 99% of those are in fact not canceled. You’ll also be disappointed to find out that SCOTUS, Trump’s SCOTUS, all ruled that DOGE cannot cut these and America is obligated to pay the contracts in full.
Maybe if you knew how to fact check, you’ll realize just how dumb you and all of MAGA are.
Nice. Tell that to the useless jobs eliminated and the useless programs canceled in USAID. No more taxpayer's money wasted on stupid woke policies. More winning!
I feel like we could save a lot of taxpayer money by ceasing the billion dollar subsidies we're handing out to oil and gas companies that already make billions of dollars every year.
Nice, so what you're saying is that anybody who has a criticism of Trump is just media spin and we should believe what Trump says at face value no matter what.
The truth is whatever Trump says is the truth, got it.
I don't expect you to see that the media is overwhelmingly controlled by the left. Of course you wouldn't. Otherwise, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
What you're insinuating is that the answer to "media overwhelmingly controlled by the left" is to blindly trust trump and only trump to lead the most powerful nation on the planet.
You don't think trusting anyone that much is a bit naive at the very least?
I mean, let's take something in the public record that's fact, with no way to spin it since he released it himself on his own media: Trump did a marketing plug for tesla.
No other president in our long history has ever stooped so low as to call on Americans to bolster a brand to try and patch rapidly falling stock of a private citizen, because there's a certain amount of respect expected from the highest office in the land.
And that's just the most recent thing he's done, not even touching on his direct and repeating statements about annexing Canada, Panama, and Greenland, who have all always been our allies. Again, all things that he said directly into various cameras, not spun by media.
I, for one, don't care what you think about who controls the media. Trump has shown me himself why I can't trust him.
And if you do solely because you're scared of the media manipulating you, it kind of sounds like you're letting trump manipulate you too instead of thinking for yourself.
Wait wait so you're saying everything was great with Biden in office? You don't know this but everyone was taking advantage of us. Every country, enemies and allies alike. That's what happens when you have weak leadership. Were your eyes closed when Biden repeatedly stumbled and looked lost on the stage? Were you watching when he chopped up words that should have easily read on the teleprompters? He even included saying "pause" in his speeches. He also fell asleep on multiple occasions. It was a complete disaster of a presidency and America was completely lost with no actual leaders. Many Americans got into credit card debt for the first time ever. Trans activists were dominating female sports. Kids were getting the worse education and ranked very low worldwide. The borders were basically open for illegal criminals to go right through and crime was rampant in the maior cities. 2 new wars started. Interest rates skyrocketed so no one could really buy a new home. Inflation and gas prices also went way higher than usual. Racial division was higher than ever. Racist DEI policies that judge people by their race, gender or sexuality were taking over and less than qualified individuals were in positions that they shouldn't have been. So ask yourself who's being manipulated?
Wait wait so you're saying everything was great with Biden in office?
No, my man. You're setting up a strawman to knock down and avoiding the question again.
Nobody is telling you to trust who you don't want to or glorify Biden.
The question is simply, why is it that trump is trustworthy when he is showing us directly that he isn't?
So ask yourself who's being manipulated?
If you can't answer why trump is trustworthy without going off on a tangent about left wing media and Biden, it's you who's being manipulated, brother.
Biden's presidency being bad doesn't automatically make trump's good. It is possible that they're both bad.
Most of us realize that both sides are guilty of manipulation. It seems that you think only one side is. Why is that?
Simply put, Trump does what he says he's going to do and accomplish. He's been known for "promises made, promises kept" for a reason because he's made good on his promises to the American people. That's a lot more than I can say about the democrats who have been promising things that never get accomplished and are completely corrupt and using American taxpayer's money for strange slush fund projects and receive kickbacks. 97% of USAID political contributions went to Democrats. The Department of education 100% back the Democrat party. Now let's look at what Trump accomplished so far:
The fraud and wasteful spending is actually being investigated with DOGE. Trillions in US taxpayer’s dollars will be saved. Look at the mass deportations and lowest number of illegal crossings through the border. The border is actually secured. Illegal immigrant criminals deported. A ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine that can lead to a lasting peace. Tariffs that have been charged against American goods are rightfully charged the same to other countries with reciprocal tariffs. Education will be up to the individual states rather than the bloated, wasteful, and ineffective department of education. Women can be safe from males competing in their sports and invading their locker rooms and showers. Racist DEI policies eliminated. Yes, DEI is a racist policy that forces companies to hire people based on race, gender, or sexuality rather than by merit.
Hostages being released from terrorists in Gaza. Peace through strength by destroying the Houthis, restoring shipping routes in the Red Sea. America takes back Panama Canal which was dominated by China. Gulf of America. Military recruitment levels are at higher levels as well as morale restored in the military.
Here's the thing, brother. You just listed off a bunch of points that are dictated primarily by Republican media spin. The same machine that you would accuse Democrats of blindly following and being manipulated by, you are listing off all the talking points of the other side of the coin.
To every single thing that you listed there are counterpoints made that those aren't actually good actions. The very fact that you would dismiss those counterpoints as leftist media spin and then immediately buy into the right wing media spin instead of directly observing what Trump says and does about these things is the problem.
I can't make you recognize that you are being played by both sides.
Likewise, you aren't going to convince me that leftist media is running a full propaganda campaign but everything you hear on right wing media is just automatically innocent and true exactly as presented.
If you find you're having a hard time convincing someone who doesn't already start off on your side, consider that the very same people you are trying to tell are being manipulated by their media can see you actively being manipulated by yours.
Until you come to realize that neither side is being honest, we can't even begin this conversation.
And until then, I don't particularly feel like being barraged by conservative talking points that you think are infallible.
So the obvious candidate that would be better for this country is Trump. Put your opinions or biases aside. Our country is safer with a strong president who is tough on illegal immigration and crime. He's also tougher on our enemies and terrorists who have been playing footsie during the Biden administration.

No, not really. He is still your President.
