Page 11 | Why do some people think Trump is a good man?

There are a lot of people, even in the UK who act like you have offended their mum or dad if you point out what an awful person he clearly is. Even his own family don't like him and plenty of people have said how his relationships with his own children are merely transactional. If people like him, is it because they are fascists themselves deep down? Or is it some type of mass hysteria?

Some of his policies are advantageous to certain demographic groups - so they vote for him in order to benefit from those advantages.

Also, I think everyone needs to calm down about Trump. He can only stay for 4 years, that'll soon be over, and then he's gone forever. He can't do much damage, the POTUS is a bit like a figurehead, the real power lies with the Senate and House of Representatives.

You realise the Republicans won both the house and the senate though?

Because there are news channels in the US who support him. They must heavily censor what they put out because my friend, who used to live in Texas, was a Trump supporter before she moved back to the UK… she couldn’t believe some of the stuff he came out with when she saw footage of him here!

Very interesting.

Winning an election doesn't mean you're intelligent. Plenty of fascist dictators all over the world.

And @username358 you've edited your first comment so that my response doesn't make sense now. You said that Trump is 'honest' and then deleted it. I wonder why? That's not what the edit function is for FYI

Honest is not a word I associate with him. He claims to know more about stuff 'than anybody else' and claims to have an IQ of 160 when he's clearly thick as mince. Remember the comment about injecting people with bleach to cure Covid??

He's just won a landslide. Not bad for someone 'thick as mince'.

Many people in the States are angry and frustrated. They're working harder than ever and getting less and less in return. They want someone who they can relate to who is going to shake things up and stick it to the man.

Edited

Ah yes, the multi millionaire is really going to "stick it to the man" 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Delusion is the reason.

Some people aren't very bright

Some people share his lack of a moral dimension and have no problem with his appalling behaviour

Some people are ultra-Christian extremists who believe that God choosing to work through an imperfect instrument like Trump is a marvellous thing

Some people are brought up with such a visceral hatred of democrats that it's practically sectarianism and they believe anyone other than Trump means communist dystopia
