My theory On Why Trump Attacks Opponents

Post Reply New Topic

My theory is Trump wants to distract because he knows if he is scrutinized people will see there is nothing there; he has no ideas, no nothing. what is your take?

Doesn't every candidate attack his opponent?

I feel it is OK to disagree with someone's ideas as long as you have a viable solution but it appears that Trump just makes personal attacks

My view is that the Americans he speaks for, the red necks, don't want a stable America.They are not in a good place in the United States right now and they are getting worse, which makes them look for someone who can turn things around, even if the person is bad.They don't understand the words about environmental protection and human rights, so they don't feel involved in the election.

Of course, I don't know about America and red necks, that's just my BS.

I think Trump knows all too well that much of his fanbase does not have a strong critical thinking background. His goal is to rile people up and ad hominem attacks work well for that, especially if his target audience is uninformed.

If Trump is reelected, he'll start *imprisoning* opponents. And he'll deploy the military to use as law enforcement, like Putin does in Russia.

If we oppose him, we could share Navalny's fate.

I'm sure he does it for a few reasons... to deflect from his own flaws, to get his mouth breathing cult members all riled up & angry enough at his opposition not to be able to think clearly and see that he's a charlatan and they're being taken for a ride.. and also to lay bread crumbs for crazies to follow down the stochastic terrorism trail for when one of them has a psychotic break and decides to go hammer Pelosi's husband's head or whatever other nonsense is coming next.
