Why doesn't Trump push for more likable policies?

[Iggy Wolf]

So one of his strategies for the 2024 election is apparently to propose a 16 week national ban on abortion. Calling it a "ban" at that point though seems like an exaggeration since I doubt most women would even try to abort past 4 months. That said, it's ONE good idea vs all the other bad ones that he seems to stick to despite their unpopularity. Certainly better than the current heavy restrictions that a lot of states in the U.S. have implemented.

It's weird how a person with his charisma and cult of personality, who's in a position to get his voters to vote for him on ANYTHING he proposes as long as it's him saying it, that he wouldn't simply take advantage and instead push for policies that people DO like. I mean, universal healthcare and better wages is something most Americans would be on board with.

Him saying it would just get the Democrats and Independents to also side with him because it seeks to benefit most working class Americans. I get why he DOESN'T but it just seems weird to me that people like him wouldn't take advantage and make the EASIER choice. Because believe it or not, it's easier to be LIKABLE when you try as opposed to being a narcissistic and sociopathic jackass that has to make excuses because you can't avoid being unlikable and insufferable.

The fact that his abortion "ban" might actually appeal to Democrat and Independent voters means he has the right idea and knows what his opposition wants but refuses to take advantage. You catch more bees with honey than vinegar. Even doing it "just for the votes" would be better than going all in on the "dictator for one day" BS.

I mean, a narcissist likes to be praised and worshiped. The easiest way to be praised and worshiped is to say and do things that MORE people like. Then you won't have to worry about people "unfairly hating you or judging you". There's a reason that "politicians kiss babies" is an actual political strategy.

1) You don't have a country if you don't have a border. Only the globalist nutbars push for open borders. Only the ignorant believe there will be a time when the whole world gets together and sings Kumbaya. Best hope Jesus is coming for that to happen. That is one policy I agree with.

2) Drilling oil is wise. I don't think any country should place their needs in the hands of another. Another piece of common sense policy. Same goes with supply chains and food and other products. Best for you to control your future ... not another country.

I continue to say this but at some point in time the wisest way to fix America at this point in time is to split the country in half then let Democrats run their side the way they want and Repulicans their side.

You want to see whose policies are the true failures? It won't take long after that to find out.

BTW I'm betting the Liberals fail long before the Conservatives do. That is why I believe they'd never agree to a split of the country.

And I bet that's not the reason why they won't agree to split the country. My bet is that they want the US to stay together because, well, it's their country and they don't want their country to split up.

I think it's better to split the parties in smaller ones instead.

Trump is a joke. He's weak on foreign policy. He only cares about his businesses. He doesn't care about the American people. People are hurting in the USA.

We need more affordable health care.
We need to stop the attacks on Medicare and Social Security.

God Bless Joe Biden


Vote Biden 2024.

This. Trump supporters think, cozying up with dictators like Putin or Kim is "strong foreign policy". They also believe him, when he says he would stop the Ukraine war. I also think he would stop it, but he would be doing it by giving Ukraine to Putin. He is constantly sucking up to foreign autocrats, which he admires and wants to be part of their club, while at the same time those leaders laugh at him and use him like a puppet.

Because he's an authoritarian.

Aren't they all? Not wrong, though. Even the ones who claim they stand for freedom, in the end, want to steal your rights, and ignore the rules they've set for you.

No, "they" are not all authoritarians. This is a false equivalency fallacy. "All people are bad, so it is okay if Trump is bad," No. There are nuances and Trump is objectively worse than many other people.

The left is never going to get affordable healthcare especially not with Democrats increasing inflation, which makes things less affordable. My friend we had the pandemic, the Democrats had the perfect opportunity to create the basis of universal healthcare and instead of doing it...they supported arbitrary lockdowns which drove up inflation.

Trump has repeatedly said "Under no circumstances should Republicans vote to cut a single penny from Medicare or Social Security."

BUT understand that there is a major crisis brewing here...Social security will run out of money in 2033....So Trump and Republicans are working to ensure people have benefits. Trump has talked about removing the governmetal waste from the program, to remove the theft from the program. And while Trump wants to cut out the waste, that doesn't mean cutting peoples benefits.

Democrats have nothing...they had 4 years and they made everything worse...

Foreign policy? Right now Biden is betraying Israel our ally, and giving aid to Hamas/Palestine which has American hostages. That's just one incident.

His Afghanistan withdrawl not only betrayed allies to their deaths but left billions behind in military equipment to fund and arm Islamic extremists for the next century. 85 billion in military equipment.

The Democrats give their voters a bunch of different things which will never be accomplished because many of the things they push aren't really their goal. Kind of like elminating racism.

If Racism disappeared tomorrow Democrats would lose 90% of their political tools.

In this day of age, you don't have to be a Republican. One just has to look at what Republicans have done to see they aren't the best choice...but in this day of age you can't be a Democrat...because of the two they are by far the worse choice.

It's a political strategy that fits his personality.

authoritarian

1
: of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority
had authoritarian parents
2
: of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people

I can't think of a single authoritarian move Trump did...I can think of several times when Joe Biden knowing something in Unconstitutional and a violation to our rights supported it anyways.

Look at talks about so-called "assault rifle bans" those guns are Constitutionally protected and a citizens right to own and the supreme court reaffirmed that right..and yet Joe still campaigns on wanting to violate peoples rights and remove them.

Agenda 47, go and read it. Lots to like.

While this is true, the sad reality is that anyone left supporting trump to any degree now with the staggering amount of evidence of his ♥♥♥♥ ups, his lies, and his incompetence means that you really aren't all that if you're hanging around.

And if you go watch any of the interviews on Youtube with people from rallies you'll see that this is the case.

Because someone who thinks Mccain or Romney are anything other than subversive snakes is not going to have any good political takes regardless.

At bit too late to decide NOW that the guy is "unhinged". Mitt Romney could have told him that during the impeachment, and he's an actual true red blooded Republican conservative to the core. If anything, it's EVERYONE ELSE that is a "RINO" in the Republican Party now, with only Romney and McCain having been the true Republicans since 2000.

War mongering vulture capitalists Mccain and Romney type "conservatives' most upset at Orange man as they are exactly the types who should be expelled from the party as they do not work for the interests of this country and there is nothing conservative about them at all.

Neither does Trump. But McCain and Romney were career Republicans and always were Republicans from the start. Trump was Democrat first and then switched to Republicans when he realized that their base is easier to fool. No one is necessarily praising McCain and Romney as "paragons of virtue". But they mostly worked for their fellow rich constituents rather than going out of their way to hurt regular Americans. They're rich and selfish, but they're not traitors.

To be perfectly fair though, Trump is neither and never was.

He lacks any understanding of how even the most simple things work, so how on earth could he understand or care about the difference between socialist policies and conservative policies?


Remember this is the guy that asserted during COVID, that injecting light or bleach into the body was a good thing and being looked at by his scientists.

And then afterwards claimed he was joking and said to the journlist that asked him about this that he was "looking right at you when I said it wasn't I?"

Except the journalist wasn't even there at that time.

A clown who truly understands nothing but even if he did, he wouldn't care about it anyway. He only cares about himself, obviosuly.

They were neocons, aka war democrats who got a little upset at the anti war sentiment during vietnam and went to subvert the other party, all of them are slinking back to the democrats now as Biden and co are doing their bidding laundering billions and getting Ukrainians killed by the hundreds of thousands.

There is no distance between the democrats and Mccain, Romney, Bush, Cheney, they are all best friends now, revealing what they always were, traitors.

Ronna McDaniel RNC chair resigning to take a job at MSNBC aka the democrat channel just proves these people were always working for the other side.
