I have to ask a simple question. Why do leftists have such a huge fixation over Donald Trump? The hate is never ending and constant. In my country, we could be stuck with a bad leader for ever, so long as people continue electing him or her.
The US grants a presidential term limit of 8 years and POOF! They are history. So I asked again, why do leftists go to such lengths to hate on a man that’s simply doing what past presidents had been doing.
I get your anger, but it’s blown out the window, same as Trumps rhetoric.
Because he wants to hurt people. Thats why. They recognize his hate to people in need. And they defend them. Is it so hard to see? He’s just as loony as the most radical leftist anti-Trumper. Trump proves it with his social media posts.
Idk man. I’ve lived through a true ass clown in my country COUGH** Trudeau.. COUGH*** and that idiot George bush who actually started 2 wars which resulted in over 100k deaths. Trump simply runs his mouth. Where does this false sense of anger come from.
Trump's cuts to USAID are projected to kill 700,000 children every year (https://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/USAID-cuts-global-impact-14-million-deaths). And that's just one of the things he's done.
But why bring up Trump in this thread at all? The post is about a Senator's speech and Trump isn't mentioned in the linked article.
I mean if we're talking deaths, it's speculated Trump's handling of Covid resulted in hundreds of thousands of Americans dieing.
But also, look at things like the recent jobs reports and increased deficit/national debt that Trump is driving.
Trudeau was a fucking saint compared to Trump. You’d have to be severely brain damaged to think he did anywhere near the kind of damage Trump is doing down in the US.
