Not that I’m aware of. But I have a habit of doing what I want so you can’t go by me. There are some very sensitive types that post here. It can be very entertaining and somewhat addictive.

OK, now the question makes sense. I do not think that's why Trump won. Every president divides. In comparison to Trump, I don't see Obama as a great divider. I mean, I remember when Republicans were appalled by Obama saying "You lost, elections have consequences." We were much more innocent then, so we found that shocking. That's the way Trump talks with Baron playing Monopoly, man did he rewrite the presidential book on decorum.

I think the climate in America played a big role in the 2016 election, as it always does, but Hillary was literally the worst D candidate of my lifetime (until Biden). Trump got a lot of votes against Hillary and he also rallied a lot of people who don't care about politics because his trolling appealed to them.

Ask yourself why Trump lost to Biden? I bet you don't think it's because Trump divided us.

Trump absolutely divided people. But the same people, and even more, that elected him voting for him again. You explain to me how Biden got so many votes when there has NEVER been that high of a statistical number of voters turn out.

It's the easiest, most basic and self-evident answer in the world...because that many people hated Trump. It's literally the same answer to "how did Trump get so many votes against Hillary/Biden?"...because that many people hated Hillary/Biden. Like I said earlier in the thread, politics these days are more about who you hate.

Sadly he made money in all those “failures “. He’s not stupid. But he plays the part and takes advantage of those who think he is. Instead of the whole “runs a business” fallacy you’ve got going, you should focus on how many people got destroyed in those dealings where Trump walked with away with their money

The actual answer is, he didn’t. But, that does not fit your narrative.

Did he make money? Last I heard he was in debt up to his comb over and unable to pay his bills. Do you consider a smart businessman the type of person who has a handful of bankruptcies, dozens of failed ventures, a history of having his assets seized because he couldn't pay any bills, and a history of not paying people for services rendered? To me that sounds like broke, spoiled brat who only has what he has because Daddy worked hard and has a hefty trust fund.

Politicians are generally divisive and he was the most divisive. It's precisely how he drew people in. Politics is more about who you hate than who you like, unfortunately. Trump figured this out and went full-scale war against liberals, the media, establishment and anti-establishment Republicans who didn't kiss the ring, etc. You can feel however you want about this, but you can't say it wasn't divisive.

That depends on how you define it. In bankruptcy he left with money while others suffered. I know a guy who makes a good living failing businesses. (I consider this guy evil) it’s a shell game. Even planning on having assets seized to “cover depts” is part of the game. If you think Trump will ever be with out **** tons of money then you’re very naive.

Wonder how you would have felt if you were one of the countless vendors/creditors that were screwed in his numerous bankruptcies. If you were one of the guys who did the work but didn't get paid. Part of his wealth building strategy. Ask Rudy G and his legal bills.

So not squandering, but "screwing" now. That's life when you're a large commercial lender with billions to loan.

And that's a larger problem with the bankruptcy system.

Mark Burnett and The Apprentice came along at the right time. However, even much of that show was based on the assertion that Trump's golf resorts were profitable businesses. We have since learned that was a lie.

That changes not a wit the fact that Trump is a very wealthy guy despite leftist memes whose basis is wishing that he wasn't.

I don't think Democrats care how much money he has... We're just glad that he isn't the president anymore. (I sure hope he isn't reinstated! LOL!)

But I've never thought he would or could be "reinstated".

"apparently" usually means the opposite of apparent when you invoke the term. Is Trump voicing the opinion that he's going (apparently) to be "reinstated"? I think you'll have a hard time backing up your assertion.

Dude, he was more divisive than most politicians and all presidents (at least in my lifetime) and this is not debatable. Politicians beef, but you can't deny that he is the biggest common denominator we've ever seen. He literally beefed with everybody, including many members of his staff and supporters within the Republican party. Imagine George W Bush calling Rand Paul a "truly weird senator" and saying "he reminds me of a spoiled brat without a properly functioning brain" because Trump did that. I don't remember any president ever sayng anything like that. I have a hard time thinking of any politician who has said something like that. He was calling NFL players sons of bitches and telling their bosses how to handle them. The **** just goes on and on. Maybe you can show me some examples of a president being this divisive? I doubt it.

Y'all can't see the forest for the trees.

How are intra-party rifts with other GOP members 'divisive' to the country?

Let's not forget how a Clinton sponsored propaganda documents sourced from foreign agents who intended to affect the election, weaponized our media, intel, FBI and DOJ and branded him as a Russian asset even before the '16 election and overshadowed his entire term. These people would've eaten a G. Bush or McCain for breakfast whereas Trump kicked them right back in the balls. His rifts with other Republicans pale in comparison to that sustained attack which continues today.

Trump called out fair weather allies who use us a pinata when it suits them, but live under our umbrella of protection rather than curb their social spending and adequately fund their defense. He rightly called out the socialist/progressive rot infesting the country, from the anti-American leftist 'educators', and those who'd literally run this economy aground and trample rights under the guise of 'safety'. He didn't kowtow to violent Marxist groups masquerading as civil rights advocates and anti-fascists but called them exactly what they are. Why 'libertarians' have this strange affinity for anarchy is a mystery existing inside their own heads, but when it manifests as support for anti-Western, anti-liberty Marxists because "Trump", you have a logical problem.

I'll take a whack at the larger question. Biden, now leading the leftist charge is the guy who labeled Republicans as racist in the 2012 election telling blacks they're trying to put you back in chains. He's stated his decision to run in '20 was Trump calling neo-Nazis "fine people" - a lie since inception - and by extension, conservative voters must also be racists. He likens changes to election law as Jim Crow, and daftly calls the capitol breach not just an insurrection, but (ahistorically) the worst assault on our capitol & democracy (ahistorically again) the worst since the Civil War. He does not denounce the attacks on the GOP and Republican voters as racists, white supremacist/neo-Nazi sympathizers as divisive rhetoric, but encourages it; exactly what an objective observer would expect of "the most progressive president ever" that he professes to be.

He's drawn those lines and I'm observing them. I'd have voted Obama as the most divisive in my life where it not for Super-Prog Biden.

Here's a decent recap on the 'divisiveness' of Trump encapsulated in a deserved criticism of Mattis, for the general's azz-kissers: Deroy Murdock: Mattis wrongly criticizes Trump – ignores facts about rioting and president’s accomplishments

I don't.

That is because I think Trump will make this absurd claim publicly. It's consistent with another wildly false claim that he has made since losing the election. His belief that Mike Pence could unilaterally cast aside electoral votes from states which Trump had lost was almost as crazy as this.

Also, I would take note that since these reports from Maggie Haberman of The New York Times and Charles Cooke of National Review were published, Trump hasn't dismissed them as "Fake news by the failing New York Times". We know he reads The New York Times closely, because of how frequently he responded on Twitter when he didn't like something they had reported.

Or is it just another anonymous source statement?

You don’t get to where Trump is being stupid enough to believe he’d be reinstated.

You are giving Trump too much credit. Do you get to where Trump is, by believing that the Vice President has the complete authority to dismiss electoral votes from states they lost? That would mark one hell of a conflict of interest wouldn't it? Pence's name was on the ballot too. Think about how ridiculous that was for a minute.

Trump just can't let things go and move on. There are many examples of this, including the incident where he drew a cone around Alabama on a weather forecast map with a Sharpie, so he could win a fight with the National Weather Service. Trump is every bit this stubborn and delusional.

You do.
You asserted Trump thinks he will be reinstated; that's a present tense expression. See the difference between that and (wrongly) thinking Pence on Jan 20 could reject electors? NO ONE thinks Trump can or will be "reinstated".

Again, to be witty, sarcasm must have relevance.

That doesn't make any sense. I think Trump does believe that he could be reinstated as president (present tense)... and he will confirm that mindset himself (future tense).

There wasn't any sarcasm in that post you replied to.

So we've moved from you asserting that Trump thinks that and you have no trouble substantiating, to you thinking he thinks that, and thinking he will reveal himself in the future. And you use blue font' but didn't intend sarcasm.

I'm sure you see the incongruity of your logic. "LOL!"
