The Three Stupidest Things Trump Supporters Always Say
This is comparable to, if you have a cockroach infestation in your house, and you see dozens of cockroaches every day , then someone tells you "those cockroaches are living rent-free in your head."  Trump is our national cockroach.

In no particular order, the three stupidest things Trump supporters say on forums such as this 

If you object to Trump , and do so often , the Trumpsters will eventually and invariably, and sometimes constantly, tell you "Trump lives rent-free in your head".  This is comparable to, if you have a cockroach infestation in your house, and you see dozens of cockroaches every day , then someone tells you "those cockroaches are living rent-free in your head."  Trump is our national cockroach.

-

Probably the most annoying of the three, because it is the dumbest, is the trumpster claim that "people "hate" Donald Trump because of a few "mean tweets"". First of all, most Trump tweets are not mean, they are idiotic. But telling people they are snowflakes who cant handle plain talk by Trump , when in reality Trump's plain talk is a sewage erruption of lies, fantasies , and psychologically dysfunctional word salads that has gone on uninterrupted for 8 years, is absurd.  Confining their content to "a few mean tweets" is like saying that a finger caught in a meat grinder is a hangnail. 

-

Not quite as prevalent as the first two, but still said enough to make an honest man cry, is the claim that "no one has ever proved wrongdoing by Trump". During Trump's first impeachment many Republicans in Congress admitted that Trump was wrong to try and twist Zelensky's arm to investigate Biden in Ukraine. These Republicans acknowledged "wrongdoing" by Trump based on the evidence, but said the wrongdoing did not rise to the level of an impeachable offense. To put it mildly they had an ulterior motive in saying that.  In regards to the second impeachment, even more Republicans concluded that Trump was responsible for Jan 6th. Mitch McConnell said Trump was totally responsible, and Lindsay Graham said he was "done" with Trump because Trump was responsible for the riot at the Capitol. Even Kevin McCarthy said the uprising was Trump's fault. 

Donald Trump lied about Barack Obama's birth certificate and college background, settled a fraud lawsuit concerning Trump University for 25 million dollars, and just yesterday referred to a court clerk in one of his cases as "Schumer's girlfriend" even though the court clerk was simply seen in a "fan photo" with Schumer . If I went to a restaurant and saw , lets say , Barbara Streisand eating there and asked her to be in a photo with me , would that make me her "boyfriend" ? 

There is also the E Jean Carroll civil case, in which a New York jury found Trump responsible for sexually assaulting Ms Carroll.

Then there is the Trump Foundation scandal, the result of which being that the Trump family was barred from running another charity. 


President Donald Trump has paid $2 million in a court-ordered judgment for misusing his charity, New York Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement Tuesday.

"Not only has the Trump Foundation shut down for its misconduct, but the president has been forced to pay $2 million for misusing charitable funds for his own political gain," James said. "Charities are not a means to an end, which is why these damages speak to the president's abuse of power and represent a victory for not-for-profits that follow the law."

Last month, a federal judge   ordered Trump to pay the $2 million in damages   after the foundation admitted in a settlement that the president personally misused foundation funds to help his 2016 presidential campaign, settle personal legal disputes and buyportraits of himself and sports memorabilia.

-

Then there is Jan 6th 2021,  Trump's leadership in a plot to steal the 2020 election through something known as "the Eastman memo" , and his dereliction of duty as the riot was taking place. Instead of acting to end the insurrection Trump spent his time making phone calls to conservative congresspeople cajoling them to back his dirty plan to stop the electoral count. 

-

None of the things I have mentioned here are in serious dispute,  and do serve as "proof" of trump's "wrongdoing". And there are many more that I wont go into for space and time reasons.  The idea that no one has ever proved "wrongdoing" by Trump is ludicrous.

Here are 3 incredibly stupid things.

African Americans aren't smart enough to get into college without our help.

Children are mature enough at 13 to make decisions about permanent life altering surgeries but aren't mature enough to drink or smoke.

The color of someone's skin and their gender are qualifications for a Job.

Wrong party?

"Trump lives rent-free in your head".  This is comparable to, if you have a cockroach infestation in your house, and you see dozens of cockroaches every day , then someone tells you "those cockroaches are living rent-free in your head." 

He does live rent free in many heads.  As for a cockroach analogy if you have cockroaches in your house and do nothing about it but complain then yea, they sort of do live in your head as well as your house.

"people "hate" Donald Trump because of a few "mean tweets""

Actually people dislike him because  he is an asshole.  Based on who we have running the country that is obviously not a disqualifying characteristic.

"no one has ever proved wrongdoing by Trump"  

Proof is too broad a term.  Some want to see convictions and some say just being accused of something is proof he must have done it.  In actuality the question for voters is "has anything he has done or been accused of enough for you to declare you would never, under any circumstances vote for him"?.

Who can blame him for wanting to? The vast amount of empty space if probably quite appealing to trump. the only problem is the view, no matter what window he looks out all he can see is colon.

Most people are not able to "do something" about Trump other than talking about him to other people, such as on this forum. Most people are not law enforcement, judges, politicians or late night comedians.  And he is our national cockroach. 

No one in national political life, and certainly no Democrat , has ever produced the volcanic eruption of toxic sludge via their social media that Trump does virtually every day. There is no comparison between his social media and any other politicians. 

Some want to see convictions and some say just being accused of something is proof he must have done it. 

Something can be proven without necessarily being proven in court.  Trump's actions and inactions on Jan 6th served as proof to Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham , Kevin McCarthy, and many others that Trump was responsible for Jan 6th at the Capitol. And that was before any court cases verified that.  Trump lied about Barack Obamas birth, but it was never taken to court. And whats more, after Obama made public his long form birth certificate Trump claimed it was a fake, and continued to say that for years. Sorry, that is clear wrongdoing on Trump's part.  And on and on and on.  There is video of Trump lying about the instructors for his Trump University. And on and on and on. Only the willfully blind think there is no "proof" of trump wrongdoing.

There is a difference between talking to and preaching, calling people names that don't agree with you.  It might also be better to tout what Joe has done for people and not just focus on the orange bad man.  Orange bad man overdose is a real thing and many people are tired of hearing it so they tune out.

No one in national political life, and certainly no Democrat , has ever produced the volcanic eruption of toxic sludge via their social media that Trump does virtually every day. There is no comparison between his social media and any other politicians. 

So he wins the asshole of the year award.

Something can be proven without necessarily being proven in court. 

That makes it somewhat subjective.  What might be enough to prove something to you might not be enough proof for someone else.  But the simple fact remains for voters to answer   "has anything he has done or been accused of doing (with whatever proof is available) enough for you to declare you would never, under any circumstances vote for him"?.

I think there is more than enough evidence of Trump's wrong doing to satisfy the requirements of the great majority of intelligent people. I gave a half dozen of them in this article. A jury concluded he committed sexual assault. A court found him guilty of misusing his charity. His fellow republicans found him , based on the evidence, responsible for fomenting the Jan 6th riot. An extensive NYT newspaper article, based on thousands of documents , not speculation, documents proved that Trump and his parents had committed tax fraud over a period of years. Documents are proof, whether or not they appear inside a courtroom. And on and on.

Again, a subjective claim with a sideways insult that if people don't agree with you it must be because of their intelligence level.  Good way to get people to see your point?

Simply put, without immediate action, Fred Trump’s heirs faced the prospect of losing hundreds of millions of dollars to estate taxes.

Whatever their differences, the Trumps formulated a plan to avoid this fate. How they did it is a story never before told.

It is also a story in which Donald Trump played a central role. He took the lead in strategy sessions where the plan was devised with the consent and participation of his father and his father’s closest advisers, people who attended the meetings told The Times. Robert Trump, the youngest sibling and the beta to Donald’s alpha, was given the task of overseeing day-to-day details. After years of working for his brother, Robert Trump went to work for his father in late 1991.

The Trumps’ plan, executed over the next decade, blended traditional techniques — such as rewriting Fred Trump’s will to maximize tax avoidance — with unorthodox strategies that tax experts told The Times were legally dubious and, in some cases, appeared to be fraudulent. As a result, the Trump children would gain ownership of virtually all of their father’s buildings without having to pay a penny of their own. They would turn the mountain of cash into a molehill of cash. And hundreds of millions of dollars that otherwise would have gone to the United States Treasury would instead go to Fred Trump’s children.

‘A DISGUISED GIFT’

A family company let Fred Trump funnel money to his children by effectively overcharging himself for repairs and improvements on his properties.

One of the first steps came on Aug. 13, 1992, when the Trumps incorporated a company named   All County Building Supply & Maintenance.   thumbnail.png

All County had no corporate offices. Its address was the Manhasset, N.Y., home of John Walter, a favorite nephew of Fred Trump’s. Mr. Walter, who died in January, spent decades working for Fred Trump, primarily helping computerize his payroll and billing systems. He also was the unofficial keeper of Fred Trump’s personal and business papers, his basement crowded with boxes of old Trump financial records. John Walter and the four Trump children each owned 20 percent of All County, records show.

All County’s main purpose, The Times found, was to enable Fred Trump to make large cash gifts to his children and disguise them as legitimate business transactions, thus evading the 55 percent tax.

The way it worked was remarkably simple.

Each year Fred Trump spent millions of dollars maintaining and improving his properties. Some of the vendors who supplied his building superintendents and maintenance crews had been cashing Fred Trump’s checks for decades. Starting in August 1992, though, a different name began to appear on their checks — All County Building Supply & Maintenance.

Mr. Walter’s computer systems, meanwhile, churned out All County invoices that billed Fred Trump’s empire for those same services and supplies, with one difference: All County’s invoices were padded, marked up by 20 percent, or 50 percent, or even more, records show.

The Trump siblings split the markup, along with Mr. Walter.

The self-dealing at the heart of this arrangement was best illustrated by Robert Trump, whose father paid him a $500,000 annual salary.   He approved many of the payments Fred Trump’s empire made to All County; he was also All County’s chief executive, as well as a co-owner.     thumbnail.png As for the work of All County — generating invoices — that fell to Mr. Walter, also on Fred Trump’s payroll, along with a personal assistant Mr. Walter paid to work on his side businesses.

Years later, in his deposition during the dispute over Fred Trump’s estate, Robert Trump would say that All County actually saved Fred Trump money by negotiating better deals. Given Fred Trump’s long experience expertly squeezing better prices out of contractors, it was a surprising claim. It was also not true.

The Times’s examination of thousands of pages of financial documents from Fred Trump’s buildings shows that his costs shot up once All County entered the picture.

Obama published a bio in 1991 where he stated he was born in Kenya. This was later revised when he became better known.

So that's where the questions about his history got started. Hillary was the first one to question his birth record, not Trump.

Obama's long form birth certificate was highly photo-shopped, so we don't know for sure who his real father was.

There is no visual or verbal record of Trump telling his supporters to riot or invade the Capitol building.

Your accusations simply don't hold water, they're full of holes

So is he a liar? or just so stupid that he doesn't know where he was born.

I always love it when conspiracy mongers put their misinformation forward for all to see .

In this case that would be you. 

The editor of the biographical text about Barack Obama which was included in the booklet maintained that the mention of Kenya was an error on her part and was not based on any information provided to her by Obama himself:

Miriam Goderich edited the text of the bio; she is now a partner at the Dystel & Goderich agency, which lists Obama as one of its current clients.

"You're undoubtedly aware of the brouhaha stirred up by Breitbart about the erroneous statement in a client list Acton & Dystel published in 1991 (for circulation within the publishing industry only) that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. This was nothing more than a fact checking error by me — an agency assistant at the time," Goderich wrote. "There was never any information given to us by Obama in any of his correspondence or other communications suggesting in any way that he was born in Kenya and not Hawaii. I hope you can communicate to your readers that this was a simple mistake and nothing more."

If you want to "debate" birtherism, I'm your huckleberry.  It will get ugly for you though.
