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.
Too bad you can't see that they aren't "talking points." They're things that were actually accomplished in the 2 months of Trump's presidency.
There really is a huge difference in being manipulated by the media and being controlled by emotions enough that it makes a person completely blinded by the many fallacies of liberalism. I never said that Republicans are perfect. But at least there is an actual effort by them to eliminate corruption and wasteful spending of taxpayer's money.
My man, you can't see that the very fact that they're called "accomplishments" is a spin in itself when any other EO's a different president puts out are basically just goals and can be rescinded.
You can't entertain one single criticism of Trump. The closest you got was
Republicans aren't perfect
This conversation is over, and it's going to end with you completely convinced that you're immune to media spin.
Yes. It's not just me. More and more voters are leaving the Democrat party than ever. Over 300,000 have left and are registering as Independent or Republican. It's like a sinking ship, complete with the violinists.
