What is so engaging about Trump?

The thought of him getting in as president again worries me.

But I will admit on here anonymously. I am very interested when he's speaking and like to know what he has to say even though I disagree with loads

It's like he has a certain hold that gets my attention. I want to see where he will go next etc

But again, know he is a terrible choice to be running America.

What is it about him people like and want to vote for? Is it subconscious, is something he's doing speaking to people on a very social/psychological level?

He appeals to the very worst in society whose views are no longer appropriate in the 21st century - he gives them an outlet and allows them to be nostalgic for the days when black people were slaves in the field, when you could take the land you wanted and you could rape your wife without fear of persecution.

He says nothing I want to hear and I switch off the TV or radio whenever I hear him.

He has around 39% support among Latino voters surveyed 2023 and has attracted a larger share of black voters than any Republican in recent history. Can't exactly blame racist low IQ whites for the Trump vote rising among Black, Hispanic and minority groups. Maybe the Democratic party need to pull a finger out.

What do Trump supporters think he will do this time round aside from line his own pockets? I'm no Biden fan either as a PP said 'it seems like it's a race to the bottom'. Is this the best you can do America?

92% of Black voters chose Biden in 2020. If Trump is doing better than other Republicans, it certainly explains why Republicans take action to suppress the Black vote at every opportunity.

The thing is, he lies to his voters and they can't see it, from what I can see.

Well, where to start...Phwoar, well have you seen his biceps OP?

@SirChenjins you are very offensive to say that. US citizens that voted for Biden would vote for Trump this time. It is about Biden fucking it up. Some people who voted for Obama voted for Trump in 2016 so your statement isn’t very accurate even in that sense.

I agree Biden is truly awful!

Well, I do appreciate you don't misquote my comment.

Genuine question, why is he aweful? Personally, I think he is one of the best ones. He is the real politician, who actually done/trying to do what's best for the country. Years of unwarranted investigation couldn't find any corruption. Sympathetic, genuine person.
First thing he tried to do as a President was the border control, yet those claim he hasn't done anything are the ones actively blocking it. So, why is he so awful?

Anyone who votes for Trump is very offensive - direct your offence elsewhere.

If Biden is fucking it up then a racist rapist who coordinated an insurrection and who’s directly responsible for the death of multiple people on that day is not the answer.

No they definitely won't. If you think they do, you have no clue about how aweful Trump is, that says it all.

Trump isn't senile like Biden. For example Biden said yesterday that he recently met with Mitterrand of Germany, a few issues with that. 1) Mitterrand was the French president & 2) He died in 1996. This is the most powerful man on the planet in charge of the nuclear codes is terrifying. The only place he should be going after this year is in a nursing home.

With regards to the border he stopped the building of the wall on his first day, and has since let millions of illegals cross the border, no checking who they are, causing chaos across communities, putting them up in hotels etc, meanwhile US veterans are sleeping rough on the streets, not good optics at all.

Biden has the worst approval ratings in history. Biden is the most incompetent, least respected president in history too, hence all the wars going on with Biden being so weak. Biden gave 85bn of military equipment to Afghanistan, he recently gave Iran 6bn to help fund Hamas. His son Hunter is a peadophile, a drug addict, he has also money laundered in Ukraine & China.

Biden cares more about Ukraine border than he does about the US southern border. Biden is America last, why so many Black Americans & Hispanics who supported Biden in 2020 are now switching to Trump in November. They thought the indictments were going to destroy Trump when it's only made him more popular. They should have left Trump alone but they have TDS & it's impossible for the democrats to know when to stop. Overall Biden is a disaster & America can't cope with him being in power for another 4yrs!

I'm baffled at a world where someone like trump is seen as the better option

If only the democrats had gone for someone under 40.

SirChenjins · 06/02/2024 14:30

No, Trump isn’t senile - he doesn’t have that to excuse his behaviour.

MellersSmellers · 24/07/2024 22:52

Trump- not a politician! He was the President for goodness sake, of course he is!

His "simple language" is because he is clearly poorly educated and a naff orator.
Yes he routinely lists off things he doesn't like or his headline objectives like Make America Great Again, but have you ever heard him describe in any detail HOW he would acheive those aims? I certainly haven't.
Genuinely, what did he achieve last time round?
