I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. I didn’t vote.

In 2020 I voted for Trump because knew Biden would be bad. He has done better than I expected but the inflation is killing me and the focus on the wrong thing isn’t helping.

Early on I was a De Santis fan but my interest has waned as he has taken hard stances on things that need compromise.

    So therefore you support abusing those powers?

    I don’t believe that it’s an abuse of government power to protect Americans from deadly infectious diseases, no. But Trump, being incompetent, was unable to do that. He was able to enrich himself at the expense of taxpayers, though. I don’t support that abuse. Do you?

        I didn’t change the topic, which is Trump’s incompetence. I directly answered your question, but now you’re avoiding mine. Will you answer it? Should the President abuse the powers of his office to enrich himself, yes or no?

            Presidents are subject to an annual mandatory audit by the IRS.

            Would it surprise anybody to find out that Trump somehow avoided this?

            Why are you avoiding the question? You raised the topic of abuse of power, remember?

            Just say “yes, I condemn Trump abusing his powers to enrich himself.” Unless you don’t?

              Why should I play your stupid deflection games? The topic was whether or not the federal government was granted the power do do any of this shit by the constitution, which i5 objectively wasn’t.

                You shouldn’t. You should stop deflecting and answer your own question. Do you support Trump’s abuse of power or not?

                  You shouldn’t

                  Glad we agree that you’re just trying to deflect from having to defend the gross federal overreach you so clearly salivate for.

                    Are you going to respond to my entire post or just cherry-picked fragments?
