calling Trump stupid

Nice meme. My $0.02 is that hating Trump is just fine. But hate his policies and vote him out of office (if you can...) I love it when the really ignorant types here on the flip go after Trump's intelligence, or call those of us who support him names, as if we were all on a grade school playground.

I always say, go ahead and insult his intelligence all you want, progressives and snowflakes. He's obviously smarter than Hillary, or anyone at the DNC, because he knew how we elect a president (the electoral college) and they didn't. (popular vote)

Heck, under estimating his intelligence, name calling, crying and throwing tantrums... it all worked so well for you on the left in 2016 when he didn't have a record to run on... so it should work just as well again in 2020, right?

yes, you got him pegged for sure. His tweets drive them insane, while he laughs. He is so far ahead of the curve in every area. For all Trump’s tough talk, his ace in the hole is American soft power — based on a globally dominant economy, its global lead in the production of gas and oil, and an omnipresent cultural juggernaut.

For Trump the ex-television star, wars translate into bad ratings and worse optics. As a businessman, he believes needless conflicts get in the way of money-making and win-win deals.

The result of the new orthodoxy is that the U.S. has become no better friend to an increasing number of allies and neutrals, and no worse an adversary to a shrinking group of enemies. And yet Trump’s paradox is that America’s successful new foreign policy is as praised privately as it is caricatured publicly — at least for now.

That's an interesting take on how we're viewed by other countries. We may not be a better friend to our allies in the sense of now much they like us, but they certainly know where they stand with us, and that they can't push us around and expect us to pay their way any more. If it was a person to person relationship, I'd say that only means they respect us more, since we don't take their crap. Let's be honest, if there's somebody we know that we can push around, we don't respect them, no matter how much money (or whatever it is that) they have, right? As for our enemies, they know they make a deal with Trump... but they also know he's not shy to pull the trigger. So far, he's used military force in a way that seems to prevent potential war-causing issues to escalate. He's always been anti-war, right? It's bad for business. At least his kind of business.

Two things will make any US president popular:

1) staying out of war
2) and I have to quote here... "It's the economy, stupid." Carville & Clinton, 1992.

yes, what you say is true, I don't respect people who let people walk all over them. I like distinct boundaries

The Democrats had a Golden opportunity to get their shit together and unify their party with better behavior than Trump. But instead of offering distinction through dignity, they have sunk lower than him. They cannot out-Trump, Trump. Nobody can play his game better than him. At this time it appears that their miscalculation will cost them bigly.
