Trump: world always in danger with weak American presidents

Post Reply New Topic

I will bet your left testicle that Biden won't be running for reelection, btw.

So, you really can't see Uncle Joe's cognitive decline?
Perhaps you should view some non-progressive friendly media reports for balance.

So far I think that talk of cognitive decline is overblown.

If anything, that forty year experience is a plus. Especially compared to Trump's miniscule experience as a crooked real estate mogul in comparison.

Trump has been the most isolationist president in recent history. Bush started a number of stupid wars, and Obama had people executed by drone like human rights haven't been invented yet.

So what would a "strong" president do? Start an open war with a nuclear power over a minor country that's important for the regional safety of Russia, but insignificant for American geostrategic interests? That's not "strong", that's suicidally stupid.
Let's not forget, Trump wanted to nuke a hurricane.

I do agree with you there. That's a narrative the Right is pushing because they don't like that Donald isn't still in office. However, even though I'm glad the US has a Democrat President again, Joe has been way too weak-willed for me in his approach to all manner of things. I don't think it's so much mental decline as him being a pushover personality-wise, but either way he's just not the President a lot of people are wanting right now.

The Democrats need a candidate who will ensure things get done. Republicans would hate that, but support for such a President would be much higher as there would be results that at least a certain subsect of the population supports. As it stands, we not only have the right being unhappy with just the idea of Biden being in office instead of Trump, but he doesn't even have enough support from the Left.

Show me where trump said he would have put boots on the ground in Ukraine.

If people can find a similar video on trump, please add it.

^^^ Biden has a long, long history of gaffs and stumbles. Yet, despite that, colleagues have always respected him. Is he less sharp than a decade ago? Certainly; no one is immune from normal affects of aging. But I watched that man in debate after debate where he had to think on his feet and he was quick and smart. There were other Democrat candidates I liked better in the primary debates, but by the time he was debating Trump, he was on point.

One of the pod casters I sometimes listen to met with him for HOURS at the White House. She said that all anyone wanted to talk to her about after was his mental state. She had spent hours in deep intellectual policy and historical discussion with the man, but people didn't want to believe he could have been up to it. Yet, he was.

He was never my first pick for president, but this cognitive decline stuff is simply silly. We've had presidents who were in actual decline yet they faced far less accusation than he does. Talk about weakening a president; this purely political speculation does more to weaken our position than anything he says or does, IMHO.

Trump gaffes.

I have edited the title to make it clear who gave the title quote.

Furthermore, in the “News” vs “PPR” categorisation, this is very much more appropriate for PPR as it’s just an unemployed politician criticising another politician. The responses have also been more like those we would expect in PPR than News, too. Consequently, I shall move it now.

Finally, a reminder to avoid casting aspersions on other users. Disagree pleasantly without insulting other people

Trump is not a profound thinker….to say the least.

His words and actions are that of a middle-school bully in the schoolyard.

His intellect is quite narrow.

“Sleepy Joe” sounds like something an 11-year-old would make up.

What did Biden accomplish in these forty years, other than filling the prison full of three strikers? You think all that experienced would have keep the major military base open while evacuating people much less the equipment, that was masterful blunder. He has been wrong on most major foreign decision in the past, but he could turn it around any day now?

I honestly don't know a lot about Biden's record, except to say that he always had the respect of his peers in government in that forty years of service. Whereas Trump was regarded as nothing but a carnival barker by his peers in the business community.

That was fun.

But did you notice at least 30% of those bloopers were actually Trump making a joke?
Unlike me, Trump is known for joking around.

I think the biggest blooper was suggesting injecting bleach into someone.
I come from a work background where you had to throw anything/k and everything/k on the table to come up with a solution.
Even bad ideas could/would inspire better ones, so I knew where Trump was coming from.
The trouble is, being POTUS and throwing out these ideas in a public setting was a very stupid thing to do.
I don't think he ever did it again.
