Trump

[Uber Eagle 72]

Honestly I am not sure. Lets just take this from yesterday where Trump told a story about his Uncle and the Unabomber

Please tell me how the press would have covered this if Biden had created a completely made up story like this? Are you saying it is his ego that makes him do this stuff?

Did Trump’s uncle teach the Unabomber? No. Here’s what really happened

Trump falsely claims Unabomber Ted Kaczynski was taught by his uncle, MIT professor John Trump

www.independent.co.uk

After invoking his late paternal uncle, whom he falsely described as MIT’s “longest-serving professor,” Trump continued his implausible anecdote.

“Kaczynski was one of his students,” he continued. “Do you know who Kaczynski was? There’s very little difference between a madman and a genius.”

From later on in the article

Before being recognized as the Unabomber, Kaczynski earned an undergraduate degree from Harvard in 1962, having entered at the age of 16, and Master's and Doctoral degrees in mathematics from the University of Michigan by 1967.

Despite Trump’s statements, Kaczynski never attended MIT. There is no record of him ever visiting or lecturing at the university either.

Meanwhile, Prof. Trump, a cancer research pioneer who received the National Medal of Science, taught at MIT for approximately four decades before his death in 1985 at the age of 78.

Unlike Kaczynski, John Trump was not a mathematician; he was a professor of electrical engineering and physics.

Even if the renowned physicist did cross paths with the infamous serial killer, he could not have known that Kaczynski was linked to the Unabomber attacks.

The alleged conversation would have taken place more than a decade before the FBI identified Kaczynski as the Unabomber in April 1996 after his brother, David Kaczynski, turned him in after reading his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future.

The manifesto makes no mention of Prof. Trump, MIT, or any figures associated with that institution.

His autobiography and prison interviews also contain detailed recollections of his education and professors, with no mention of Trump’s uncle or his time at MIT.

I see, I don’t think Trump is an ideal president by any stretch of the imagination, the guy is likely intellectually very intelligent (IQ measurements) ..I watched his 3 hour interview on Joe Rogan just before election and he seemed pretty switched on to me. I trust this more than any story from the associated press. 3 Hours is a long time,, a much younger Kamala would not do this. If I had to vote in US election I would have picked Trump over Kamala or Biden but it is not a nice choice to have to make….

Okay, let’s try another tack.

What do you think the media reaction would have been if Biden did something like this? (And please look past who posted it or the comments—yes, I know it’s easy to say it’s biased, but it’s the best side-by-side I could find.)

Just to be clear, I’m not asking for a Fox clip in response or a “what about Biden” reply—I’ve covered that plenty already. (For example, take this beat-up from Hannity:

. He rightly points out how weird the nurse story was… kinda like talking about a dead golfer’s appendage?)

Can you comment on this one? Do you think we need a discussion on Trumps mental capability?

How about we try the tack that I proposed? Tell me which Trump policies you dislike and I am happy to provide my views. There is no point in us just slinging clips of trump being trump and Biden being Biden back and forth. As I have said many times, happy to debate/discuss policies.

That’s an odd thing about our local supporters of Trump. I presume they see his policies as helpful to Australia. Isn't it plain that Trump is bullying us? Along with the rest of the world? Wonder if they think Albo should be joining the queue begging and pleading for an audience at the court of Emperor Trump? “Please Sir, we’re your friends, we’ll follow you anywhere, we promise” ?? Personally I’m pleased he doesn’t seem to be doing that, for now at least.

Yes, much prefer Albo to focus on AUKUS than being China’s lap dog, but it is no shock you don’t see it that way.

Me too, hence I stopped trying

We all get the “Orange man bad” narrative, it’s been pushed by CNN, MSNBC etc for almost 10 years. Frankly it’s boring and lazy. We all agree he’s not perfect, just as Biden was not perfect, and neither was Obama for that matter. Any chance we can discuss policies you disagree with?

Actually don’t bother. I just remembered what you said in your post #650. If that is what you think, then there’s probably not much point.

Does anybody have a video of trump discussing a policy or law to any depth, clearly, articulate and without "weave"?

Shirley you can't be serious?
Our genuine exchange of views on borders a couple of weeks ago confirmed to me I could never match up (down) to your level of debate. You're way too slippery.

I did not watch that interview but make a point of watching as many of his press conferences and briefings as I can (in the raw form etc).

I have no doubt he is an intelligent man. I just do not think he is suitable to be the president for a number of reasons.

Okay, let’s start with one area even though it’s more about enforcement than policy.

I’m talking about the treatment of undocumented immigrants. Specifically, people who have entered the country and are contributing to society through work and taxes, yet are being picked up off the streets when the campaign promise was to focus on deporting “criminals.”

I am not talking about border enforcement which I have said previously was something Biden should have handled earlier


I do believe there’s been a systematic failure by governments across both parties to create a workable path to citizenship. But the way ICE has been used under Trump feels heavy-handed and out of step with the reality on the ground. It seems like there’s little regard for the impact this has on families, communities, and the businesses, whether rightly or wrongly, that rely on undocumented workers to do jobs that are often underpaid and difficult to fill.

From a policy perspective, I support border enforcement and legal immigration. I believe most immigrants genuinely want a better life and to contribute to their new home. Only through border enforcement can countries control the extent to which this is true.

As for ICE and DHS, I’d say that the open border policies of the previous administration has created a unique set of circumstances that require a level of activity well above what would normally be the case. I understand all illegal immigrants have the opportunity to self report and go through the legal channels for immigration, as over 1 million people do every year in the US. Is there a particular reason why people jumping the queue should get preferential treatment?

I also believe that the Democrats see illegal immigration as a way to stack census data in their favour for House of Representatives seats, hence the violent opposition to ICE/DHS and the virtuous hand wringing by elitist, globalist celebrities safely ensconced in their gated LA mansions, upper NYC apartments and/or island getaways. The type of people socialists would normally see as the enemy, rather than the enemy as defined by CNN and MSNBC.

Just looking at our biggest news site “9”to see the so called daily news…
On the front page there are arguably propaganda hit pieces posted directly from CNN against Trump. This is virtually a daily occurrence. To me this is a combined effort to distort and create narratives that are designed to destabilise rather than report real news… it’s a shame our likely biggest news agency want to simply pass it on….

'May every day be another wonderful secret': Trump denies Epstein birthday message

www.9news.com.au

There is another so called editorial from CNN questioning if latest so called health issue is really benign..

Main stream media is now a basket case and no better than the old tabloid press. I hope more people continue to see through it…

If you are inclined, try watching nine news at 6pm. I swear they have a designated “trump hit piece” segment on every bulletin.
