Keep in mind: I did not start a separate thread to praise this visit, I shared it in a thread slighting him for an earlier holiday visit. There are times I just like to amuse myself by winding up the same dolls.

Meanwhile, lefties think it's hilarious how deep down the pile right wingers have to dig to find something even remotely commendable that Trump has done.

Same reaction, different angle. We're either all irrational or this is not a matter of rationality.

Feel free to pick either.

We've seen this show plenty of times in three years.

I did not attack him for what he did, I said he doesn't get bonus points for doing something he should.

Or when people (not on this board) say he did it without press and fanfare when he had a campaign ad out that day with his visit along with videos of his "speech" and photos.  Not that I expect his supporters to be honest or to expect honesty from DJT...I just find it humorous.  

I mean poor guy someone called him sir and he didn't get any turkey. 

The Trump supporters just get all bent out of shape when that is pointed out when they are trying to "wind up the same dolls" and definitely, positively NOT just trolling.
