'Fool Me Once...'

 I have never understood why Trump is so popular.  Did any of the people who voted for him in Iowa really think he is going to "drain the swamp?"  If reelected he isn't going to do anything in office other than shoot his mouth off in bombastic speeches, act like an octogenarian kindergartener, and visibly age in front of the camera.

He will nominate a soft-money Federal Reserve.  Inflation will remain persistently high during a second Trump regime.

He won't stop Israel from slaughtering Gazans.  He sucks up to Israel as bad as anybody.

On the other hand, he might end the slaughter of Ukrainians in that war.

Does Trump really have any serious political principles?  Does he have a lot of knowledge or interest in the world?  Or does he just see the presidency as a branch of the entertainment industry?

Conversely, I have never understood the Trump Derangement Syndrome.  Many of the people who suffer from this disease are the same sort of people who would put a "No Hate Allowed Here" sign on their window or on their car-bumper.  Never have I seen more vitriolic HATE spewed out continuously than what has been thrown at Trump.

The USA is 'circling the drain.'  I need to think about something else for the rest of the day.  Besides, there is nothing more to say of Trump's second term than 'Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me.'

He created the Swamp and twisted the minds of everyone.
Some of the convicted Insurrectionists, claimed he was like a Cult Leader.
Let's hope, that they open their eyes before the election.

I'm not a Trump voter, but I don't like the mischaracterizations of history. FYI, not a single person has been charged or convicted of insurrection for what happened on Jan. 6th. It was a mob riot and never deserved the gravitas that comes with being termed an insurrection. Insurrection is just a political marketing term in this case. There are some good examples of real insurrections worth reading about. The Hungarian Revolution in the 1950's and the Zapatista rebellion in Mexico are particularly interesting.
Anonymous, "just a political marketing term", I like the way you put that. I too think that the word insurrection has been used incorrectly by MSNBC types. The only blame I put on Trump is that when the president acts like an 8-year-old brat, it can encourage rowdy and childish behavior in his "fans."

Show us a politician that isn't an 8-year-old brat (or worse). Some just hide it better than others.🙂

INSURRECTION
A rebellion, or rising of citizens or subjects in resistance to their government. Blacks Law Dictionary

Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. 18 U.S. Code § 2383

Seems clear enough.
