LOL - MAGA stands for "Make America Great Again" which actually implies that it's not "great" at the moment, hence the need to MAKE it great again and yet here you are calling it a reminder that is *IS* a great country. This just further emphasizes the point I'm making about Trump supporters struggling with language.

Of course, it's not a new term. Reagan also used the term, Make American Great Again, although to his credit he actually worked on doing just that. With Trump, it's just a slogan.

If we go back a little further Hitler also used a similar term... Make Germany Great Again. So it's literally a well-worn bit of sloganeering popular with fascists who want to convince people that things are bad now, but if you elect me, I will bring us back to our glory days.

You don't think so, TJ? Well, I can only speak for myself, but as a 51 year committed and always active Christian, teacher, youth worker, Bible study leader, missions director, Deacon, camp leader, church bus driver, church security team member, sound board operator, and frequent jack of all trades, including substitute preacher, I have only one thing to say about Padremike's comment.......
some times you can only call a spade a spade or a puff of bad smelling writing a bad smelling writing. Anything else would be a lie, and I do not tell lies. Neither does, I suspect, Padremike.
You have been proven to do so regularly.

Horseshit is a poor excuse for reality. TDS was already evident when the clamor for Trump's impeachment was echoed by the WAPO before he took the oath of office and the persecution has never stopped. Blade perfectly expressed how the DNC State Controlled Marxist Media Propaganda Bureau's created your Trump TDS when he penned:

"The Donald Trump the left hates so viciously is a media construct, a caricature, a false image of a man anyone would hate. They paint their picture of him as the most evil man that ever existed. They hate him more than the Jews hated der Fuhrer. As I see it, they're doing the work of the devil. And, one day, there will be a Reckoning."

It's true! If one believes leftist Propaganda little choice is left except to hate Trump.

I expect you consider yourself too cerebral and balanced to presume that almost everything you believe about Trump you received directly or indirectly thru the MSM. "He's a grifter, a rapist, a con artist, doesn't pay his bills or his contractors, a Putin puppet, a wannabe dictator, an insurrectionist, a traitor, a racist, etc." You hear a lie often enough it magically becomes irrefutable truth. Of course you believe all these inuendoes because everyone says they're true. Every word Trump now utters (ie. bloodbath) the Left attacks to purposely influence simple minded people that Trump is the most evil creature imaginable; they cannot attack his success or tout their own so their only recourse is to attack the person. Then, of course, the most evil, cultural Marxist administration, led by one who has already caused America irreparable harm, a genuinely despicable man whose actual character is in the sludge at the bottom of the sewer goes unscathed, and TDS dictates your loyalty to Biden and your hatred of Trump.

An NPR editor just confessed that there are 87 Democrsts on their staff and zero Republicsns. That their programming was deliberately crafted to destroy Trump and their main source of information came from Adam Schiff. This is a tax supported organization where one would expect them to be balanced instead of a radical leftist mob. Yet they are probably the most balanced of all the DNC State Controlled Marxist Media Propaganda Bureau's.

Where do you get your "fair and balanced" information? I expect it's only from a source that supports your TDS. 😊

Yes, I do. I asked you to explain ONE thing that Trump did to help the middle-class and you decided to point out that gas prices went up during the Trump administration causing the price of everything else to increase. So can you explain HOW that helps the middle-class?

Also, looking at the graph... I can see that you are correct in that gasoline was at $2.25/gallon at the end of Obama's term in 2016 and then went up under Trump until the pandemic hit then it dropped again. I'm going to say that had more to do with the pandemic than Trump policy. I would say the same for the sudden rise after the pandemic during Biden's first year when the economy was recovering. But what's interesting is how under Biden the prices started to fall again. Interesting because I can see the prices fall under Obama and I can see the prices fall under Biden, but under Trump the only time it fell was during the pandemic.

Maybe you need a different chart because this one is working far better for my argument than it is for yours.

As for my original challenge. I'm not going to ask anymore. I asked you to show me ONE thing that Trump actually did to help the middle-class, not what price of gas was. Presidents don't control the price of gas. Presidents do things like work with Congress to pass healthcare reforms, or invest in infrastructure projects, unless it's Trump the one president in my life time that didn't do sh.t.

So, I'll write this off as just one more example of how Trump supporters can't actually point to a single thing that Trump did for them.
