    I feel for you. I was in the Air Force and they told us to respect the office even if you don't respect the man. I think when it comes to this president, I respect the office too much to want him to be in it. Our core values were Integrity first, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All we Do. Trump embodies none of that.

    Trump's followers don't watch the whole thing. They rely on the usual media providers (Fox, OANN, Breitbart, conservative Twitterers) to supply them with couple of cobbled-together excerpts where Trump hits the usual conservative talking points (media, China, liberals bad mostly). They don't see all the off-topic and narcissistic grandstanding or the completely batshit insane comments that make no sense in any context.

    I liken it to someone hearing a few seconds of a guitar solo that's mostly euphonious and declaring that the player is a good musician. However, that few seconds was more an accident than anything else - the rest of the solo is an out-of-key, musical disaster.

    I didn't like either candidate at the time, and honestly felt they were each a little shady. I am not a hard core affiliate of either party. That being said, I won't make the same mistake twice. In November I will vote for Biden. I just wish the party had more to offer as a candidate, but no way in hell can I vote for a man like Trump again.

    Welcome to the forum and remember we're like tribal folk with pointy little spears. It's a good place for venting and seeing different opinions.*

    Trump might be thanking the virus for his ratings.

    Think the orange jumpsuit will go well and really complement his skin tone

    I wish I had seen your post this morning, and those following it up to page 101, which is where I’m at reading this damn thing. Have you lost your ****ing mind? Have you lost your absurd, ridiculous ****ing mind? No one, no one is “fine” with this. What a bizarre thing to say. Now you’re trying to “define” the word “liberal,” as if that has anything to do with the Coronavirus, with COVID-19. Guess what. The virus doesn’t give a good god damn whether you are liberal, conservative, moderate, or a dumb ass who still supports Mr trump. The virus doesn’t care. It is an equal opportunity death machine.

    Grow up, dude, and open your eyes. Look around. None of this is fine.

    I don’t get it. People are sitting at home in mass because of a virus. Why would anyone be surprised that ratings would be high if while those people are sitting at home and watching the briefings to get information about said virus from the countries leadership.

    It makes no sense to even point it out. It just goes without saying. People that support this man really really need to look in the mirror. Just because you denounce this moron doesn’t mean you support a Democrat. It means you expect just a little bit more from a leader of hundreds of millions of people.

    How do people still support Trump? I mean I understand his cult like following who will defend him no matter what but how can the "reasonable Republicans" still support him?

    Weren't you a big fan in the past? Perhaps you could best explain it to us.

    Explain what? I got older and wiser but that doesn't explain how he still has supporters now.

    A few years back how you supported Trump and wouldn't question him. I remember you had that mindset, how did you tune everything out?

    There is no “reasonable Republicans” left. They are now called independents and never trumpers.

    Trying growing up. You sound like a whinny person who can’t take criticism. You are also sounding pathetic.
