There is nothing at all Conservative about Trump. He is nothing but the leader of a personality cult.

I never did consider Trump qualified to be President. After seeing his behavior since the election, I think that it is dangerous to have him as President. Anyone who craves power as much as Trump should never be trusted with power.

Agree with most of the above.

I don't think Trump is more power-hungry than other politicians that go about obtaining power in more traditional ways.


With him being in the panic he is in to try to wrest the election from the electorate and have the legislatures give it to him, he certainly seems more power hungry than any other US President in history.

Trump doesn't have a true ideology. His only ideology is that he makes the bucks, he plays golf, he's a celebrity, he doesn't like to lose, and (as stated above), he has the "typical racism of the real estate industry."

the really disgusting thing is that his party is so enthusiastic over disenfranchising POC votes. GOP really doesn't want POC and pofolk to vote, they have said so on a number of occasions when they thought none of us was listening.

It's a sad irony that the "poorest of the poor" in Appalachia voted overwhelmingly for Trump in both 2016 and 2020.

And he doesn't want to have to work very hard at it. He'd much rather just watch tv and tweet.
