Before getting bashed by the zombie Trump supporter let me state that I wanted Trump to be president. I have done very well in the Trump years, and so have most small business owners that I know. Trump has been great for the economy so far, with little help from his own party and no help from the media or the democrats. That being said, I am beginning to see a new phenomena out there that I haven't seen since Obama was elected - The zombie-hero worshipping fan that knows everything about nothing. The stupidity of those that supported Obama, and considered him to be a God-like figure, which, at the time, I wrote about in disgust 11 years ago, has now been supplanted with the moronic EVER-TRUMPER. You see them every-time a negative story comes out about him. To these nitwits (and that is what they are) Trump is a God-like figure that can do nothing wrong. He is a genius (probably the smartest guy who has ever lived) that controls everyone and everything, just like God. According to "Q" he planned the Russian collusion fiasco that backfired on the left. They suggested that Mueller and Trump planned the entire investigation together.
Any news that doesn't portray Trump has the greatest human being to have ever existed is demonized as left winged journalism. Here is an example from the Daily Caller (hardly an anti-Trump new site, once controlled by Tucker Carlson.):
Headline:
US Steel Announces Layoffs In Michigan, Hurting Trump’s Claims Of An Industry Revival
The story shows that the steel industry, which Trump touts as his greatest achievement is doing poorly. The United States Steel Corporation plans to lay off fewer than 200 workers at a Michigan facility, according to the company’s filings with the state of Michigan. News of the layoffs comes after President Donald Trump said last week at Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex in Monaca, Pennsylvania that his 25% tariff on foreign imports helped change the steel business from “dead” to “thriving.” (By the way, the thousands of Shell employees at his rally were paid to be there by Shell Oil!)
The Plain Truth is that while domestic steel prices rose immediately after Trump’s tariffs, they have also fallen as auto and farm machinery sectors weaken demand, according to Reuters. Hot-rolled coil prices have fallen almost 37% since 2018 and U.S. Steel’s stock price dropped 73% since March 2018.
Trumpites got mad at this fake news: Some examples of their ramblings on the comment section of the story:
It's all Dump Trump all the time.
Our national security, known as our manufacturing base, was sold to China over the past 35 years.
Clinton, both Bushes, and The Black Jesus are to blame.
Trump is the ONLY President who forsees a massive war loss to China, if we continue down this road.
Our leftist press could not be happier at that prospect.
There you see it, state a fact that is undeniable true, and the EVER TRUMPER'S answer? "Mr. Trump knows exactly what he's doing and the American people support him in his mission to make America great again!"
That's why poll after poll Trump has over a 50% disapproval number. Oh that's right polls don't count anymore - so why does Trump quote any poll that he likes?
Here is a list of Trump promises and what his EVER TrUMPERS say today:
EVER TRUMPER- "Trump never promised a total wall and he never said that Mexico would actually pay for it directly," but here is Trump's promise in his own words on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J9y6s_ukBQ
EVER TRUMPER: Trump Promise: "We will end the sanctuary cities that have resulted in so many needless deaths. Cities that refuse to cooperate with federal authorities will not receive taxpayer dollars, and we will work with Congress to pass legislation to protect those jurisdictions that do assist federal authorities.” And he is working to do that!
FACT: Despite efforts, and yes he has tried, Donald Trump fails to cut funding from sanctuary cities. Trump was unaware I guess that a president is not a dictator. Courts must rule on policies and Congress must approve spending
Here are some other things Trump said that his Ever Trumpers get mad when you mention:
The Promise:
“A Trump administration will stop illegal immigration, deport all criminal aliens, and save American lives.”
Fact: More criminals than ever are in the country illegally are not being deported, even at the rate Obama deported them!
The Promise:
"End birthright citizenship."
The Fact: Donald Trump stalls on promise to end birthright citizenship, never mentions it.
The list goes on....
Here is my summary. I want Trump to succeed, but honestly he is his own worse enemy- not the press. Ronald Reagan faced the same rabid press in his day and OUTSMARTED THEM with humor, facts and intelligence. All Trump has is bullying. Bullying will not work, and if he loses the working union man, if he loses the average Joe and Mary out there - he will loose to a communist! America can survive, even thrive under a flawed Donald Trump, America can not survive a Bernie Sanders!
If Trump loses, the ever Trumper's will blame everyone but themselves and Trump; when in fact they both will be the real cause.
