A common statement made by people who voted for Trump was that they wanted to see what he could do for them and their families and didn't care all that much about his personal life and all the crap going around in the media about what he said about "whoever". They cared about him "shaking up Washington".
The question is can you trust what He says?
The Obama accusation is just a single tree in a very big forest.
Quote:This whole Obama thing is really a non-issue in my opinion. It's an issue in the sense that he accused Obama of a crime, but I don't believe it's an issue in the sense that those who voted for Trump really care so much that this challenges his credibility as a president. I believe Trump is going to be judged on what he actually gets done as president and issues like this will not be at the forefront.
This isn't about if you did or didn't vote for Trump and why. It isn't about if you support him or not. It is about whether you can believe what He says.
Quote:I feel this is the very thing the left failed to understand during the election and fail to understand now. People didn't vote for Trump because he was a really nice guy that said really nice things. He was a guy that said he'd get things done, and voters took the chance on that.
He gets things done? How do you know? Because He said so and you believed Him? He says a lot of things. Much of which is contradictory. None of which He will stand by.
Quote:So you honestly think Trump literally meant he doesn't stand by anything? Interesting.
Are you accusing Trump of lying? Interesting.
Quote:Well, not really, but sure. I find it strange that you're sitting here acting like that if Trump was a real man he'd stand by everything even when the things he wants have no chance of actually passing without some kind of revision.
I didn't state any of those things.
Quote:And if Trump were a real man, he'd keep up his offensive attacks even in the face of newly learned information and political opposition that causes him to compromise.
I didn't say any of that, either. The only new information regarding His Obama accusation is everyone in the intelligence community has commented Trump's statement is false. Yet, in the interview He claimed He had been proven true right after He refused to stand by his original statement. He can't even maintain a consistent train of thought during a single answer.
Quote:You would rather have Trump act like a big baby and fold his arms and stomp his foot in the ground and say "I'm standing by what I said no matter what".....which would amount to literally nothing getting done.
I didn't say any of that, either. If He is going to make a comment there should a a good reason why. If He changes His opinion there should be a good reason why. He should be able to explain those reasons.
Quote:This is a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesn't.
No, this is a case of He brought this all on Himself.
Ask yourself if you would hire a mechanic if he told you, "I don't stand by anything. "
