"Overall, Trump has failed to fulfill the pledges he made in his Green Bay “drain the swamp” speech. He had promised he would push Congress to pass a five-year lobbying ban into law so it could not be lifted by a future president. But he never proposed such legislation. Nor did he ask Congress to impose a similar five-year lobbying ban on its members, as he had promised he would in 2016. In addition, he never tried to seek to “close all the loopholes” used by former government officials who get around registering as lobbyists by calling themselves “consultants” and “advisers.” And he never acted on his pledge to stop foreign lobbyists from campaign fundraising — and in fact, has benefited from their financial support." Hope that helps 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blue Manna 314 Posted August 31 I don't think we would have the mess that is Ukraine if trump was in power. Personally not a fan, but it would be good to have someone who knows what day of the week it is. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trump isn't demonstrably fitter than Biden. By many accounts, Trump’s physical and cognitive health is poor. He’s both elderly and obese, which puts him at greater risk of a host of mental and physical problems, including dementia, cancer and cardiovascular failure. He has evinced significant cognitive decline, saying he can’t remember notable conversations and events, and that he doesn’t know people he has clearly met. During Trump’s presidency, some of those around him worried that he had lost his mind. Over the years he has grown less and less coherent, more paranoid, more conspiratorial. His speech is erratic, his thoughts disorganized, and he makes simple factual errors – for example, seeming to forget where his father was born. As Trump’s years in the Oval Office ticked by, the question of whether there was something neurologically wrong with him became all the more urgent. The man says he can’t even remember saying he has one of the world’s best memories! The default assumption now seems to be that Trump is simply lying, and indeed that might be the case (if it is, it should also be disqualifying). But either he’s lying or he’s not firing on all cylinders – or, perhaps, both. Trump has also exhibited signs of having a serious personality disorder, and while mental health professionals are careful about weighing in on a person’s psychological state without having examined them, some have at least outlined the telltale signs and allowed the reader to draw their own conclusions. Researchers have even drawn a connection between Trump’s seeming pathological narcissism and narcissistic traits among his supporters. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering a president can be in power for 8 years, I don't think they should be allowed to run if they are over 62. It's a stressful job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never stated that just pointed out the hypocrisy in the article about trump’s health compared to the current president. Add to the fact Russia gate was and has been proved the workings of the Clinton’s ,Obama knew all about it but nothing , more evidence about the Biden crime family radio silence he has done the same as Hilary using private e mail servers on dealings in Ukraine while vice president.A plea deal to let Hunter off that’s gone pear shaped but just go after trump .

But that’s the only option they have. These people who want to stay loyal to “their team” or “their guy”. There’s no possible way to defend Trump. So all they are left with is whataboutism. Quite what’s so bad about saying “they are both awful” is beyond me. I suppose it’s because in the past they’ve praised the man and it’s too hard to admit to being conned maybe? 3 1 British | Lived in Australia 2001-02 on 457 | Married Aussie wife & moved back to UK | Plan to return to Sydney 2026 when all kids have finished school 5 Feb 2023 - 309/100 submitted | 14 Mar 2023 309 & 100 granted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
