The people who "voted for Trump 3 times, but this was…" and then the ones that have "Trump voting friends who are all regretting their vote".

Many times these people are the same. But they are convinced they represent the true Republican Party and that if we don't repent against Trump we are doomed.

Trump was absolutely at his best in the 140 character limit era of Twitter. He mastered the craft in a way no one else did. It brought out the best in him. He was still very strong in the 280 character limit era

This, however, is like watching Willie Mays on the Mets https://t.co/3lExiNni5f

Believe Trump is using a beta version of TrumpAI to write these lengthier posts.

He just prompts "please tell everyone what is so great about Trump right now, the best, the huugest of wins then remind everyone to pay attention".

And this is what you get.

I too voted for Trump 3x. IMO he was the best candidate in all three elections. This said, I'd never want him for a neighbor or friend. I'm just not impressed by him as a person.

---

This. I would never invite him to my poker night. Although I'm pretty sure I could beat him since he wears his emotions on his sleeve.

Facts. His Twitter game was impeccable. His Vine account was legendary too. Simpler times.

As has been the case for the last 10 or so years, it is clear that the man simply cannot help himself.

How can one be so rich and powerful yet so insecure?

---

He is, and always will be, an arrogant ass New Yorker. He can't help himself, as he wired that way. And...nobody likes arrogant ass New Yorkers. Once you realize and accept this, you come to realize that shooting himself in the foot over trivial matters is just part of the package. There's never been a more driven and ballsy POTUS, but he is a human rollercoaster. .

If he had been at his best he would have known to stay off X in 2018-19 and we would have avoided the Biden years.

He was all about Bill Maher and their "great meeting" last year after Maher was complimentary. Now that Maher has apparently said something to offend Trump he goes off another ridiculous rant. I voted for Trump.......3 times. But damn I am getting tired of him, or at least tired of very "non presidential" acts like this.

If ID Vance or Desantis could be next potus, would be a huge breath or fresh air. I feel like Trump is always finding ways to hurt himself and the GOP. Just way too many unforced errors.

The thing is, no matter who is the next Republican president, the media will portray some aspect of his personality in a horrible light and people will lament it. "If only he didn't do such and such he'd be perfect!" etc. etc.

People buy into it every time. It's been happening since Ford.

Just ignore the media and enjoy the best administration of our lifetime.

Almost every ad I've seen from Republicans has Trump in it. There is a reason for that.

A Rubio or Vance presidency can't get here fast enough.

---

Yep, that's where I'm at. It's exhausting.

---

Be specific. What's exhausting?

Biden was on TV once a week for seven seconds. He took screened questions and had notes that told him who and what was going to be said. The media apparatus did everything in their power to obfuscate, distract, and lie about this in order to keep the power of the Presidency. When they did get Biden to speak off the cuff he was often rude, and has a looping history of saying completely inappropriate things. "racial jungle" anyone?

Why wasn't that a constant source of outrage? Why weren't celebrities and Senators and Congressmen being "forced to defend" his behavior? Because guess what, that would have been exhausting. But nobody had to. The TV Box didn't say "Biden Bad" so it was not a problem.

Again, stop letting the media tell you something is acceptable or not. They don't care about anything except pushing Democrat policy. If Trump had a (D) next to his name, he'd be the firebrand that America needs. The media would pretend his only controversy is a tan suit. They'd offer zero criticism to actually going to Epstein Island.

If you're exhausted by Trump's behavior, examine who you feel you have to defend him to?

---

I believe most people are tired of Trump not because of what others say or who they feel they must defend him to, but rather what they hope he would be. He's 90% of all they hope for but the 10% can be cringe. Like many in this thread, I voted for him knowing this is what you get with the package. And even with the childish outbursts he's light years better than the alternative and frankly is what we needed at this time. But it's the wish that at times he'd just shut the hell up, not because I care what the media says or others say. They are going to bash him no matter what. It's just not presidential at times and I would hope for something a little better. But again, I didn't expect it.

I actually didn't vote for Obama. I voted R all the way from 1992 until 2016.

But voting for Obama isn't an insult. Obama is a classy man who is educated and represented our country well.

Agree, but that's a very low standard.

He can act better than that. The problem with acting like a petulant jerk is it turns away the marginal voter from the R party and hurts us in upcoming elections. It's not just a thing where it only impacts him... it affects us too.

He'll never change. And some folks won't stop calling him out for it either.

---

Yes, but we get a lot of folks who lose sight of the ball and then go vote for the party they supposedly have nothing in common with simply because they want the noise to stop. Thus, cutting off their nose to spite their face.

It's partially why Biden won in 2020. I know many R's who voted for Biden because of the sentiment I read in this thread. I get being tired of him and wanting the next Republican in place now,but a lot of dumbasses will go vote Democrat next time around because of mean tweets.

Y'all don't be one of those dumbasses.

---

I've never voted Dem and never will.

But I don't assign all the blame to those dumbasses either. Blaming voters is a weak position. Trump owns some of it too. That's why we're upset when does that stupid ****. He doesn't get a pass because he has a fragile ego.

---

Sure but when your alternative is someone with the stated intent to destroy the country then we don't have much choice. And those dumbasses still voted for Biden knowing he was an open borders policy advocate and a mentally incompetent person.

---

I don't disagree on the dumbasses, but I'm not giving Trump a pass for his behavior either just because there are dumbasses in this world. He needs to own it and act right. It's an "and" -- not an "or"

---

I don't give him a pass either. I just think it's irrelevant given where we are. I choose to focus on policy (an area where he sometimes fails pretty hard btw).

---

I focus on policy also and prefer his over the Dem alternative by a light year. Another poster made a correct point that Trump's behavior in the past impacted McCain's vote on Obamacare. We had a chance there to toss it out and start over. His behavior can have consequences for policy success or failure, especially in a razor-thin House and Senate. He's a smart man on many things but not when it comes to his behavior. I think you can support most of his policies and still insist that he improve his behavior, coming back to the "and" word.

---

McCain disgraced himself, developed a total lack of courage and crapped all over America.

---

McCain was a traitor to the US. Gave the same tired/lying account of being a POW, and was a senator in a state with a huge human trafficking funnel. He also yachted about with several Russian oligarchs.

He was sleeze and his family benefitted from the McCain foundation funds. Seems like every corrupt mother****er has a foundation these days.

Good Lord....... Barry was the most divisive POTUS in history! He hyper-weaponized the entire intelligence industrial complex to try and overturn a duly elected POTUS, and even implored the use of FVEYs to assist. He single handedly destroyed the healthcare system in an attempt to move us to single payer socialized medicine from which WE WILL NEVER RECOVER. He accelerated the growth of radical islamic footprint in the U.S. The total number of Somali immigrants in the U.S. grew from roughly 2,500 in 1990, 4000 in 2008 to between 140,000 and 150,000 by 2016. And look at what it cost the US taxpayer in fraud alone.

Agree to disagree. I knew several R's that voted for Biden who have never voted Democrat. They did so because of mean tweets. Trump's brashness was too outside the mainstream for them because like most Republicans at the time they had failed to recognize that the Democrats were no longer mainstream and they just wanted mommy and daddy not to fight.

Most of them have since wisened up to the Democrats, but still hate Trump.

Yep. There are alot of weak minded folks out there.

Remember what Bush did by being "presidential". ?
Remember Romney and the Reid "he didn't pay his taxes" BS?

Trump started mean tweets right away. Remember the narrative "fake news"? His "mean tweets" constantly bashing MSM lies turned that from the narrative "don't listen to conservative narratives" to "MSM is fake news". He won that HUGE battle by mean tweets.

So, the left knowing how many weak minded folks there are out there started to hammer him over his being "non-presidential" with his tweets. And, like one would expect, lots of these weak minded folks fell right in line.

In today's climate with Soros and Media Matters controlling the MSM, you have to attack everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. That's why Trump is so popular. That's why over 90% of all Republican political ads have Trump in it.

And, that's why the TDS'ers that wanted a "true republican" (LMAO) in DeSantis to beat him are now crying about his "mean tweets".

These are the same kind of idiots who wouldn't vote for Ted Cruz because he "looks like the zodiac killer." They do exist and they're too stupid to deserve to vote.

That is true, but even they aren't as bad as the smooth brains that claim to be conservative, but won't vote for Cruz because they say he is controlled by Israel

I, for one, do care. It matters. It's perfectly okay to expect/demand both sound policies AND a Presidential behavior from someone who holds the top job in the land and is the leader of the free world.

I agree with most of his policies(not crazy about some of their implementation) but I find his behavior to be generally disgraceful of that office.

Well, guess what...you are either going to get a communist next time around or a Republican who is less brash than Trump.

In the meantime, suck it up and enjoy the fact that Kamala is not our POTUS. You know, the abject moron who would have kept the borders open, enabled global terrorism, and supported the continuing globalist march towards communism.

You should protest. The most effective way to protest seems to be to come to TexAgs to complain about how unpresidential he is but that you still voted for him, then talk about all your friends who couldn't take it and had to vote for Biden / Kamala because of decorum.

Who are all these people with lib friends and an undying devotion to manners. This is politics. It's not nice, courteous and rarely is professional.

Just roll with it, chuckle about it and move on. Trump treating about a washed up comedian is hardly something to get riled up about.

With all due respect, that's a terrible attitude. I can remember the same attitude in the late 70's until someone came along with a hopeful, uplifting message that inspired people to reject the status quo and triggered a national revival. It is possible for that to happen again.

I'm a pragmatist. I hope you are correct, but I'm not confident it can happen again.

Demographics are destiny and we've destroyed ours with 50 years of leftist indoctrination, uncontrolled spending, and at least four years of totally unfettered borders.

We don't need a hopeful message. A hopeful message doesn't fix the $40T in debt and doesn't make the hard decisions needed to pull us out of the death spiral.

Yet Trump has actually governed more conservatively than Reagan. Face it: Republican politicians lie about what they intend to do. Trump is following through better than the others.
