Man, I love The Good Liars. They are great at improv and quite adept at disarming Trump supporters and getting them to say stupid things.
With that said, the hallmark of the Trump presidency to me was that the good things he did were generally for the wrong reasons, like when he redeployed the US military from Syria and snatched money that was budgeted for various military projects to build his stupid wall.
He did some great things for the space program too. Probably because it sounded cool.
TBH, it's weird that you say that, but it makes perfect sense.
You... you stop it right there! With your "facts" and your "logic" and your "knowledge", don't you know that a brain 🧠, like a bowl 🥣, is most useful when empty!?
It's only ever been about vibes*, and that's totally good enough for these folks who have made Trump their identity. Trump could come right out and say that he has no plans at all, but that voting for him would make the libs and minorities and LBTQ+ folks upset... and his polling wouldn't change. It's only about the vibes*.
* "Vibes" is used here to mean thinly-veiled racism, sexism and bigotry
He has concepts of a plan
Allegedly.
you could just write hate instead.
"I did not expect a follow up question"
I was told there would be no fact-checking
lol are these actual quotes from an interview?
I've been watching a couple debates involving Trump supporters. They all do some version of this. "I like his policies" "ok, can you name a policy of his you approve of" they can never come up with any. In almost any other scenario this would be funny. It's hopeless.
They say that but what they like is his rhetoric, which is more disturbing in my opinion.
Just like Sarah Palin's favorite newspapers.
