Trump supporters are quite simply irresponsible if not worse....

Trump could never get an actual regular job. Employers would never trust him, let alone his criminal record. Regular employers are FAR more responsible than these Trump supporters in hiring the damn president of the United States!

The President of the United States position is NOT a joke! It is the most powerful position in America, let alone the world! It should have the most rigorous qualifications needed for it!

This is sheer MADNESS! The level of irresponsibility being shown by Trump supporters is MIND BOGGLING if not brain breaking! It is simply beyond irresponsible to hire someone with the resume that Trump has! A pathological liar, a rapist, a con artist, a promoter of hate and slander, an insurrectionist, who bungled a national emergency and led to COVID being far worse for America than most other countries, and most of all: Trump's dangerous flirtations with dictatorship, fascism and lack of respect for the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law!

There's a reason why employers are careful and put a lot of qualifications, because they know how damaging it can be for the organization if they hire the wrong person! A bad hire can cause a ton of damage, perhaps even grave damage to the organization!

I know many are hurting, I know many are economically struggling, maybe many are hopeless with their position, others are angry with how much taxes they have to pay, maybe they hate the messiness and lack of response from democracy, and many are angry at all the immigrants coming. They are allowing their emotions and despair to easily be charmed by a pied piper, a fascist con artist, like Trump! And they are stabbing the back of this country in the process! They have to wake up as to what they are doing! They are stabbing the back of their country and many fellow Americans in wild hopes that Trump will make things better! There is simply NO excuse no matter how desperate their situation is to put their country in the hands of a madman conartist and betray their country and their fellow Americans!

Trump is not their friend nor their savior! They won't get much for the backstabbing. Trump's deportation plan will cost $1 trillion and lead to ballooning inflation from the shortage of low wage workers. Trump's tariff plan will cost the typical American household $2,600 a year and lead to soaring prices. Together, both will lead to soaring prices, soaring inflation, and an economic recession. The recession will be deep and will be a spectacular backfire on their part!

And when they wake up that Trump is not their savior, they will be horrified at what they have done, but it will be too late! The con artist has just used and discarded them in order to get what he wanted! And everything of what made America great will be gone!

They need to snap out of it before they put America in an incredibly dangerous position!

1. I agree they need to snap out of it. But I think you are giving Trump supporters far too much credit.

It seems to me you are trying to rationalize reasons why people who are struggling economically, those who hope to get tax breaks, the people that don't want to share America's opportunities and even those that view him as "God's chosen one" support him to their own detriment.

I told my sister this and I still think it is true.

George Wallace carried five Southern states - Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi but you would be hard pressed to find many people that admit they voted for him because publically supporting racism is not acceptable anymore for most people.

Mark my words - in 10 years it will be hard to find anyone that admits voting for Trump.

Why? Because admitting they voted for him would be admitting he made fools of them. One trait Americans have is not admitting their mistakes....Civil War, Vietnam, Iraq are good examples. And so it will happen again - you can count on it.

3. I remember everyone that voted for George W. Bush then went and pretended that they never supported him...

That glaring absolvement of responsibility was shocking and quite telling of Republicans. Not only that, but their behavior during the Pandemic! That they couldn't understand nor care that a virus is passed asymptomatically between people and the need to wear masks to protect the people around them from a potentially fatal virus in cause they have the virus asymptomatically, leading to 1 in 5 total deaths from COVID in the world being in America! It frustrated me to no end seeing people outside of major cities not care and give a damn about wearing masks in 2020!
