A wonderful post that lists all the things I think of when I hear the name Trump. Most of the Trump-haters seem to have one characteristic they have assigned to the President and refuse to admit that there might be some positive ones. As a Trump supporter I will admit that sometimes I cringed when listening or reading his rhetoric, but I feel (my opinion) that his accomplishments far outweigh the lies. I can't think of one that really mattered in the whole scheme of the past four years. Although it must be wonderful to be so perfect that you can hate a man because he's not.

"It was John Adams who said: “The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people.” Clearly, the Founders’ passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incorporated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence. The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, “How long will the American republic endure?” Lowell replied: “As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant” Herein lies the answer to the question, “Will the Experiment Succeed?” It can and will succeed IF the motivating “principle or passion in the minds of the people” is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based."

Here is what the word 'patriot' means according to the definition EXPERT - the Webster dictionary:
'a person who loves, supports, and defends his or her country and its interests with devotion.'
AND WHAT WAS IT YOU WERE SAYING ABOUT SOMEONE ELSE ON THIS SITE "NOT KNOWING WHAT THE WORD PATRIOT MEANS"!! It is the very definition of what Trump was, and IS!!!!!

Since Trump has shown clearly that he trusts Putin's word over our own intelligence agencies, he would be much more of a Russian patriot than an American one, that and all his attempts to tear America apart over these last four years, not a very good American patriot if you ask me. He has even breached his oath of office which includes many of the same "promises" as the typical oath one takes to become an American citizen, so there is that too...
Oath to become and American citizen:
"I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen; that I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will bear arms on behalf of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform noncombatant service in the Armed Forces of the United States when required by the law; that I will perform work of national importance under civilian direction when required by the law; and that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; so help me God."
https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship/learn-about-citizenship/the-naturalization-interview-and-test/naturalization-oath-of-allegiance-to-the-united-states-of-america
The oath that Trump took:
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_office_of_the_president_of_the_United_States#Text
Not precisely the same wording and far shorter but some of the same content, I am also going to post the oath that others take when entering an office or other service to our great nation below, hence the additional bolded text within the American citizenship oath.
Oath of office for public servants and/or military personnel:
“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/3331
Notice, much of the same oath taken by new American citizens is also taken by people wishing to serve our great nation is whatever capacity they choose to do so and vice versa? Notice also that the oath the president took is far shorter with less assurances or promises? And Trump breached even his limited assurances/promises. He couldn't even live up to that much much less what the average citizen public servant or military personnel. Trump is FAR from an American patriot, but sadly much closer to a Russian patriot, at least he seems to be staying true to his oath of fealty to Putin, provided he gave Putin an oath that is. Perhaps because if one betrays Putin, they end up dead, if the same one betrays America, Trumplicans want to throw them a parade.

More serious TDS. You should start focusing your seriously infected mind on your new President. After you come back into reality from your TDS, if that is possible, then I’ll just call you a socialist. How does that roll off your lips. Socialist. Gateway drug for Communist. Good luck.

Oh, I see the confusion now. You get all your information from Fringe RW, fake news, media... Try getting the real story and you will see that Trump was FAR from a true patriot, and he STILL tries to harm this country to this very day. A true patriot wouldn't have made all those false claims about a stolen election, and that is just one example of Trump trying to destroy America.
