    So you don’t care if Mr trump tells blatant lies about a very prominent American who spent 40 years serving our country? Got it. Very enlightening, @Astrodome.

    Lol, i didnt say I didnt care @Deckard. I don't what my I am expected to say. This hasnt been a good few months for trump. His ego is too big for times like this and he isnt good at showing sympathy. I have criticized him plenty but i still like his policies better than bidens.

    I assume that policy doesn’t include using military force on protesters. But correct me if that’s wrong.

    I'd like to know how far does trump has to go before you say, "Enough. I can't vote for this man." Notice I didn't say, "Enough. I can't vote for this man. I will vote for the only real alternative, Joe Biden." I didn't say that. You have other choices. You could vote Libertarian. You could write in an alternative who's a Republican, if that's where you lean. You could simply not vote. What I'm interested in is how far does trump need to go with his actions and his words, his impact on the country and on how the world views us, before you say, "enough."

    I'm genuinely curious. I don't think you're an extremist or a troll, like some here. I seriously don't understand what it is about trump that makes you want to support him. What has he done that counterbalances what he has done, if you get my drift.
