“I owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of Trump.

families, put masked domestic terrorists in the streets who killed protesters, bombed eight countries in the past year, started a bullshit wag-the-dog war in Iran to cover up his appearance 38,000 times in the Epstein files, lost those children in the bureaucracy, tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church, tried to block all Muslims from entering the country, got impeached, got impeached again, had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history, pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden, fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia, bragged about firing the FBI director on TV, took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community, diverted military funding to build his wall, caused the longest government shutdown in US history, called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate,” lied over 30,000 times, banned transgender people from serving in the military, ejected reporters

"Ok. So, other than that?

Insulted and alienated America's neighbours to the north who were the best friends and allies for the past two centuries sharing the longest unguarded border in the world, by declaring tariffs on Canadian goods claiming that huge amounts of fentanyl were allowed to cross the border when less than 1% of  imported fentanyl does, and by saying that Canada steals from the USA because its nation with 10% of the population of the USA does not match America's purchasing which is inflated because of America's purchasing of Canadian oil, gas and lumber.  Is strangling and starving the people of Cuba, men, women and children, who are no threat to the USA, invaded a sovereign nation and kidnapped its leader and his wife in order to be able to control its oil, threatening to take over Greenland in order to take over its minerals, and so, other than that as well?

SOME Americans, not even a majority. The majority of Americans didn't vote for Trump in the last election so don't lump us in with those psycho cretins.

2024 Presidential Election

77,897,589 Americans voted against Trump.

77,303,568 voted for the vile pile of excrement.

"SOME Americans, not even a majority."

I didn't say ALL Americans, but I realize now that you misinterpreted what I said to be "all Americans", which I did not mean.  It should be understood, as I had considered, that obviouslly ALL Americans did not vote for him.

To be fair, most Americans did not vote for Trump.   I suspect even many who did vote for Trump regret their decision.   So that leaves those who continue to support Trump.

And I think that the characteristics are irrational, irresponsible, and unpatriotic.

What else are they going to do but deny, lie, gaslight, and try to dismiss all of Trump's bad as mere delusions?

That is why supporting Trump is irrational, irresponsible, and unpatriotic.

I asked ChatGPT to take that list and restate each item based on the results of a fact-check:

Below is a factually tightened rewrite of your list. I preserved the thrust of each point, but I changed absolute claims into wording that is better supported, more precise, or clearly labeled as allegation, opinion, or disputed characterization where needed.

Overall assessment

Approximate breakdown of the entire list:

Category Portion
Documented actions / quotes ~45%
True but missing context ~30%
Opinions / political criticism ~15%
False or conspiracy claims ~10%

✅ Summary:Your list contains many real controversies and documented statements, but it also mixes in misleading framing, opinion-based criticism, and some outright false internet claims. Separating those categories is necessary to understand the record accurately.

As I have been saying all along.  With all the valid complaints why muddy the water about half the time?

With all the valid complaints why muddy the water about half the time?

Why not address the valid complaints instead of trying to deflect by complaining about the 'context'.

So even your own research shows 75% of the complaints above are either documented fact or true but missing context.

Why won't any Trump supporters here actually tackle those complaints? All I ever hear are deflections to "But Biden!" "But Obama!" "But Clinton!" "But Kamala!". Are any of you actually able to defend Donald Trump without a what-a-bout-ism?

You seem to have spent time trying to debunk the complaints only to find out 75% are true. How about spending some time explaining why you still support a guy who has so many valid complaints instead of simply accusing everyone who points out a Trump flaw of having TDS?

Missing context does not mean true, it means spun dishonestly.  You have no issue with that?

First, it does not mean that. Just because I state the fact that "Donald Trump is a felon" does not mean it requires some rightwing conservative narrative they consider "context" in order to be true.

Second, even when 'spun', can you honestly claim that those on the right don't spin the fuck out of everything they can to win any sort of political advantage against their opponents? Please, that's just basic politics 101. Do I have an issue with it? Since both sides are doing it and they aren't actually lying about something, they're telling a half truth, it is the nature of the political beast. As for the blatant lies that continue to spill forth from the commander and chief rightwing conservatives elected, that's not spin, it's just lies because he's so fucking dishonest, he can't even find a way to use half-truths.

You have no issue promoting 50 % less than accurate statements?

You have no issue promoting a President that outright lies more than 50% of the time?

  • PolitiFact Analysis:   One analysis of PolitiFact's "Truth-O-Meter" ratings found that approximately   76% of his statements   earned ratings of "Mostly False," "False," or "Pants on Fire" (ridiculous and false), while only around   4% were rated as completely "True" .
  • Fact-Checked Statements at Rallies:   An analysis of several Trump rallies found that between   67% and 76% of his factual statements   were rated as "false, mostly false or unsupported by evidence".
Why does Donald Trump lie? | Edge Hill University Trump Lies More Often Than He Tells the Truth — and the Lies Are Cruel | by Bella DePaulo | Medium

I'm just fine with the 45% absolutely true and 75% true with context versus the dipshit Liar-in-Chief who apparently only tells the truth accidently considering it's only 4% of his statements. I really did want to know how so many millions of people can believe that lying sack of shit. It really is frightening. Then I watched the History channel series on North Korea, and it started to make sense. Blind allegiance to and worship of a populist icon that they've been brainwashed to believe is their savior and that they're underdogs fighting against the rest of the world. So pretty much exactly like MAGA.

I have one to add to the list: It is a 'sin' and a shame when a sitting president OVERSATURATES all communication networks (every day) for ten years running!  President that this kind of thing get what they deserve. . .recognition of their failing to understand that a president does his (or her) best work quietly.

ChatGPT:

That list sounds impressive because it’s a series of short slogans, but most of the claims fall into four problems.

First, credit grabbing . The defeat of ISIS and rising NATO spending were multiyear coalition efforts that began before Trump. Presenting them as his accomplishments ignores the broader timeline and the allies who did much of the work.

Second, cherry picking . Crime dropped after the pandemic spike, but that spike began during Trump’s presidency. Border crossings, manufacturing investment, and stock market highs all depend heavily on the specific year you choose to highlight.

Third, rebranding policy preferences as achievements . Withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement, imposing tariffs, or cutting federal workers are ideological choices. Supporters may like them, but calling them objective accomplishments assumes agreement with the policy.

Fourth, confusing actions with outcomes . Creating commissions, signing executive orders, or announcing investments shows activity, not success. The real question is whether those policies produced measurable long term results.

Even the most dramatic items on the list, like the killing of Iran’s leader Ali Khamenei , illustrate the point. A dramatic action does not automatically equal a strategic success, especially when the regime remains in power and the regional conflict continues.

So once you add context, the list is less a neutral record of achievements and more political messaging built from selective framing and incomplete information .



Launched the Space Force

The United States Space Force was created through the bipartisan 2020 National Defense Authorization Act after years of Pentagon discussion about reorganizing military space operations. Trump signed the bill, but the concept and legislative support already existed.


“Obliterated the ISIS caliphate”

ISIS lost its territorial caliphate, but that campaign began years earlier under a multinational coalition. Iraqi forces, Kurdish fighters, and coalition partners carried out most of the ground fighting. Destroying the territory did not eliminate ISIS as a terrorist organization.


Brokered the Abraham Accords

Trump helped broker normalization agreements between Israel and several Arab states. That is a legitimate diplomatic achievement. However, the accords bypassed the Israeli Palestinian conflict, which remains the central unresolved issue in the region.


Signed bipartisan criminal justice reform

The First Step Act was meaningful but limited. It affected federal sentencing and prison policies only. Most incarceration in the United States occurs at the state level, which the law did not address.


Lowered drug prices and expanded addiction treatment

Policies expanded access to opioid treatment and created some Medicare pilot programs. However, claims that the administration broadly lowered prescription drug prices nationwide are widely disputed and not supported by overall pricing trends.


Withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement

Leaving the Paris Climate Agreement was a policy choice, not an objective accomplishment. Supporters viewed it as protecting U.S. economic interests. Critics argued it weakened U.S. climate leadership and global cooperation.


Tariffs and trade imbalance policy

Trump imposed large tariffs on imports, particularly from China. But tariffs did not eliminate U.S. trade deficits and imposed costs on American businesses and consumers who paid higher prices for imported goods.


“Secured the southern border”

Border crossing numbers fluctuate dramatically depending on enforcement policies, economic conditions, and global migration pressures. Claims of permanent “border security” typically rely on selective time periods or specific enforcement metrics.


Trillions in domestic investment

Many figures cited refer to announced investments , not completed projects. A large share of the U.S. manufacturing investment boom began earlier due to industrial policy legislation such as semiconductor subsidies and clean-energy incentives.


Delivered the largest homicide drop

Crime fell sharply after the pandemic-era spike. But that spike began during Trump’s presidency. Claiming credit for the decline without acknowledging the earlier surge is selective framing.


“Ended multiple wars”

Many of the cited conflicts were ceasefires, mediation efforts, or temporary de-escalations. Several conflicts resumed or remain unresolved. The claim exaggerates the permanence of those diplomatic efforts.


Record energy production

U.S. oil and gas production reached record levels, but those records were already being set before Trump returned to office and are largely driven by private-sector shale development and global energy markets.


Federal workforce cuts

Reducing federal employment numbers does not automatically mean improved efficiency. Large workforce reductions can also create service disruptions and oversight gaps within agencies.


“One Big Beautiful Bill”

The nickname is political branding. Whether the legislation was beneficial depends on its fiscal effects, distribution of tax benefits, and long-term budget impact.


MAHA Commission

Creating a commission to study chronic disease is an administrative step. Establishing a commission does not itself reduce disease or produce measurable outcomes.


Phaseout of petroleum-based food dyes

The initiative announced plans to phase out certain synthetic dyes through regulatory changes and voluntary industry compliance. The phaseout is a policy process, not a completed nationwide change.


NATO defense spending

The NATO goal of spending 2 percent of GDP on defense was agreed to in 2014 after Russia annexed Crimea. Increased spending reflects European security concerns as much as U.S. pressure.


Executive orders

Every president issues executive orders. The number of orders issued says nothing about policy effectiveness or long-term impact.


Record stock market highs

Markets frequently reach record highs under many presidents. Stock performance is driven primarily by corporate earnings, global economic conditions, and monetary policy rather than direct presidential control.


Military recruiting rebound

Recruitment numbers improved after several difficult years. While positive, a single recruiting rebound does not necessarily indicate broader military modernization or readiness improvements.


Arrested Maduro

The removal or capture of Nicolás Maduro remains controversial internationally and raises legal questions about intervention and sovereignty.


Killed Ali Khamenei

On February 28, 2026, Ali Khamenei was killed during joint U.S.–Israeli strikes on Iran’s leadership compound in Tehran. ( Reuters )

The strike eliminated a major adversary but also triggered a broader regional conflict, Iranian retaliation threats, and global security concerns. ( Reuters )

The Iranian political system also continued functioning, quickly appointing a successor, demonstrating that leadership decapitation did not automatically collapse the regime.


Overall takeaway

The list works rhetorically because it compresses complex events into short positive headlines. Once context is added, several patterns emerge:

• Some items are real actions but overstated
• Some rely on credit for trends that began earlier
• Some are policy preferences framed as accomplishments
• Some conflate dramatic actions with successful outcomes

In short, it is political messaging rather than a neutral accounting of results .

First, nobody should agree with the items that are false or exaggerations.

Second, rational thinkers do not think that Trump's tariffs are good for this nation.   Maybe Trump supporters (inexplicably) do, but that is irrational.

But items like Space Force have not been criticized, and support for a secure border is applauded.   

The problem is that Trump's words and deeds are overwhelmingly bad so there really is not a lot for rational human beings to applaud.

For a good deed and deeds done for our mutually shared country and done as service for ALL its people I thank whomsoever executes such actions-including Trump. Overall, for taking one or several 'steps' back for each advancing 'step,' for attempting to cast all of the country into one mold of a man (Trump); for disrespecting half the country and telling others they are inferior and irrelevant. . . and dividing 'us' I can not support that no way and at no time. Indeed, I will rebuke!

Oh and for that matter. . .when. . .as some would call it: "Rightist" can comment Barack Obama and Joe Biden for the good they have done for our mutually shared country it will go a long way to healing the breach that some are acting to further gape.
