[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

Impeachment is a tricky thing, that is not likely to happen. I initially thought Trump might just tire of the new toy like a spoiled child and step down but my outlook on that has changed. If the next three years slog along without Pyongyang or Tehran getting nuked I'll consider us all lucky.
What I am curious about is if the estrangement between Trump and the GOP will lead Trump to create his own movement (á la la République en Marche) for another run.

what I worry about is that some conservatives are becoming addicted to his brash style and his inelegant anger. They are confusing making the left angry with actually making progress on the conservative agenda. I heard one person say that if Trump resigned and the much more professional Pence started actually moving forwards with all the campaign promises (like he would!) some conservatives might miss Trump's bullying and namecalling.


So if Trump does create his own movement, then the normal republicans will be stuck with their traditional way of going about things while Trump's new movement barges ahead with fury and energy. Trump will leave the traditional healthy conservatism in the dust, attracting more and more angry people and feeding them a steady diet of taunting and insults.

honestly, it's a mess. conservatism has a chance to be stronger now than ever before, but people like Trump are squandering it to capitalize on this temporary anger. if you're on the left, I wouldn't be too worried right now, Trump isn't even moving forwards on most of the stuff you dislike! its seems he's abandoning the wall and asking congress to put DACA into law, and blaming all his losses on the completely out-of-power democrats. yeah, a mess.

most successful idiot of all time, then.

Hard to argue with that. Back in the day we thought America had gone mad voting Reagan in and then George Dubya Bush. Even Stephen King's made up Greg Stilson seems a bastion of sanity in comparison.

I wondered if there was some brilliant charade with him during the campaign at one point, but I'm pretty sure there isn't. Both his biographer and his own staff say that he has a 5 minute attention span and can't read more than half a page at a time. He may not be an idiot, but he may have some sort of attention deficit disorder. His success started with a million bucks from his dad and probably a great deal of help choosing his initial investments.

well in an era of idiots, it'd appear so, yes.

Same here.
I really thought there was some kind of master plan, or brilliant layering of agendas.
Not any more. The evidence against it on every single level of his administration so far is simply overwhelming.

You can if you are a cheating crook. Although that requries a skill too, I suppose.

Trump winning doesn't prove he's not an idiot. It proves that many Americans are idiots, to a degree beyond what we thought we already knew.

well another point worth of discussing muricans, oh man. they were shooting with riffles on hurricane irma the other day. others think that it's god's punishment for accepting gays and lgbt and obama's liberalisms all these years but yeah , judging by the sharp rise of far right in EU too, i'd say that muricans aren't the only idiots on this planet.

I'll wait for hard evidence that he's cheated (other than Trump Jr. meeting with a tabloid reporter and it didn't go anywhere... that doesn't seem like rigging an election to me :P)

if new evidence comes out, i'm all for it, but right now, it seems to me that trump ran a good campaign. we'll see if that changes.

the problem with calling him an idiot - especially on the side that opposes him - is that it leads to underestimating him! everyone underestimated him in 2016! do we want that to happen again?

underestimating trump leads to complacency. some hillary voters were so sure she would win they didn't feel motivated to go out and vote. trump voters were so worried he'd lose they came out in droves!

well i pretty much doubt he's clever or not an idiot. i think the reason america is like it is right now, it's because of the absolute rock bottom and low level a lot of america's people have hit through the years. the voters

come on man, i don't think trump is a simple matter of agreeing - disagreeing.it's more like universally accepted fact and phenomenon that something is seriously wrong with him like another universally accepted fact that bach is awesome, and the father of western harmony and music, nobody disagrees with that, i mean do we know anyone?

or maybe it proves there's people who disagree with you? maybe not everyone who disagrees with you politically is retarded?

maybe they like the rapidly growing economy? the new jobs that are being added?

just a thought.
