He's right there is oil in lots of places

He's right that we don't need ME oil now and for some time ... IF we don't squander what we have on the global market. Our national problem is that we don't think strategically. Our failure to understand China as an enemy is one of the best examples. Moving manufacturing to China and essentially rebuilding our economy on Chinese manufactured goods has built the Chinese military and destroyed our manufacturing base and the education to support it. There are enough news stories that we should understand that virtually every Chinese student, businessman, or even tourist is a likely spy for their military, but, hey, we love that cheap stuff ... at least it appears to keep Amazon afloat.

I keep hearing this line of reasoning but I just don't fully buy it.
It's interesting that you complain about the left demonizing the POTUS when you just shrug off the fact that he called members of his own party human scum for not fully supporting him. He has done far more to demonize others than any previous president.
Why are you not saying that Trump is forcing people away from the middle and to the left by his antics.
Trying to justify support of Trump as a reaction to the left's dislike of and reaction to Trump holds little to no water.
If pettiness, incivility, meanness, and demonizing others are traits one finds off-putting, then they certainly wouldn't be supporting Trump in the first place.

I’m not really interested in the fact that you buy my reasoning or not. I have no agenda here. I don’t come on here and bang the drum for Trump because I’m not interested in carrying water for him. There’s plenty that I disagree with him about. All those adjectives you listed can just as easily be applied to quite a few people in the party you support and a lot of the media members that are a mouth piece for them as well. It’s a two way street, so please do not act like you’ve taken the moral high ground when everyone is playing on a flat surface.

Reagan is the Daddy of credit card debt.
Check out what happened to the average family debt under Reagan.
He did the exact same thing on a national level.

I liked Reagan, but I didn't and never will consider him or his financial policies to be genius or necessarily even intelligent ... except he was right that you don't trash the ability of anyone to create products and jobs. Now if you want to see some real fiscal genius consider Brother Bill and his gang for coming up with how it made sense to lend or force lending of money to those without means so that they could buy homes. That absolutely set the economy on fire ... way too literally ... burned it down, too. Of course, he was long gone when the bubble burst, and his congressional buddies skated ... as usual.

Ask the average person on the street and they’ll say it was Bush’s fault since it was “his” economy. So much stupid going on in the heads of many.

So these demon raps are still at it, huh??😂😂A bunch of weaklings that Trump talked about in 16. They’re all Iran lovers, and don’t know what they’re talking about. They all need to resign, and get out.

The only moral high ground I take is in saying that Trump is in the historically low moral pits.
You made the oft stated claim that it's somehow the democrats who shoulder the burden and blame for the Trump presidency and possible re-election. I view that as nothing more than a cop-out for people who are looking for self-justification for their support of Trump while trying to avoid the baggage that comes with that support. It's a little like the wife-beater saying he didn't want to beat his wife but she made him do it by blah, blah, blah......

You may not bang the drum for Trump but you certainly bang the drum against anti-Trumpers more than you do against pro-Trumpers.

You might want to bang the drum against this: "The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats," Trump tweeted Thursday. "Watch out for them, they are human scum!"

This is from the President of the United States on a public forum where he has 40 million followers about elected officials who are members of his own party............crickets.

But dems who rightfully demonize Trump over such things are the reason we have him?????????

As someone who voted for Trump. I can very honestly say that Obama and Hiliary made me do it, and to set the record straight I've never liked Trump, but I'm softening a bit because I like many things he's done since being elected.

It's confounding that people (who are the type to tell you that they don't trust the government) are so willing to buy everything the WH and our intelligence is telling us, meanwhile, red flags keep popping up
