Name one thing that Trump has ever done that would deem him unfit to lead? I bet it would be hard to name one.
Have you heard him speak?
Yeah, and he's the only presidential candidate in this election, or ANY election for that matter, who has put even the slightest thought into my safety when it comes to electric boats vs. sharks. You can't say that about Bernie, Hillary, Biden, Obama, or even James "Boatman Jim" Garfield.
Dude
You need to have some sort of award for this 😃
Ignore the haters, you’re doing the lord’s work son
It's on account of how smart Trump's genes are. Did you know his uncle went to MIT? Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you're a conservative Republican, if he were a liberal, if, like, OK, if he ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say he's one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it's true! — but when you're a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that's why he always starts off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune — you know he has to give his like credentials all the time, because he's a little disadvantaged — but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers him — it would have been so easy, and it's not as important as these lives are — nuclear is so powerful; his uncle explained that to him many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right, who would have thought? — but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners — now it used to be three, now it's four — but when it was three and even now, he would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven't figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it's gonna take them about another 150 years — but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us, this is horrible.
Wharton must really hate the fact that Donald Trump keeps sullying their reputation by reminding people that he graduated from there.
When nobody else got me, I know Electroboom got me.
He tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power.
Rampant corruption in his administration
Russian financial interests/Putin has him by the balls.
Sexual assault (sad this is so far down the list especially since we all knew before he was running)
Fascist talking points at his rallys.
IQ score is definitely sub 80s judging by his speeches.
He wears lifts in his shoes and diapers in his pants. Anyone that needs that much support for his ego and bowels has no place in the white house.
I could go on but I'm busy and I'm sure you won't care either way.
Disqualified, you insolent buffoon. I requested one reason and you silly leftoids name 7 which clearly means you now have to vote for Trump.
What a predictable response from one of his supporters. I should've known you'd lose interest when you saw how many words were in front of you.
That fact that you can't see that I'm joking is concerning.
Jokes from Trump humpers are typically thinly veiled dog whistles so you'll have to excuse me for not giving you the benefit of the doubt.
I'm also not funny.
Hard disagree.
🎶Hello Poe's Law, my old friend...🎶
Hahaha Hard to name just one, right?
Anyone can name 4 million reasons, but does anyone have the self-control to name just one?
His failure to meaningfully divest from his business interests coupled with the numerous times he used his office to funnel money to himself such as forcing the Secret Service to stay at Trump properties as he traveled.
There, one.
You think you are so smart, but you've named TWO things he has done, thusly disqualifying your argument. I win.
Wtf I love Trump now!?
I learned debate from my uncle who is very smart and went to MIT.
I learned debate from cannibals that ate my uncle.
He's bankrupted something like 20+ different companies. Some of them were casinos for fuck sake. He failed to lead a business where people literally hand over money for entertainment.
Lololol. I want to hear reasons why he is fit to lead anything.
He eats more Big Macs than most humans alive. So he's a leader in that.
He was recently convicted of 34 felonies. Shit that's 34 things! You're right, this is impossible.
That's as many as 3.4 tens. And that's terrible.
The Trump Fake Electors Plot:
"After the results of the 2020 United States presidential election determined U.S. president Donald Trump had lost, a scheme was devised by him, his associates and Republican Party officials in seven states to subvert the election by creating and submitting fraudulent certificates of ascertainment to falsely claim Trump had won the electoral college vote in those states.
It says it was fake right in the name. It's clearly fake news.
Openly bragged about assaulting women? Mocked a person at a rally for physical disabilities? Disparaged a gold star family? Bankrupted a casino? Advocated (by taking out pages in newspapers) for the incarceration of 5 black teenagers without due process? General racist remarks and behaviors? Credible sexual assault allegations from many women, including at least one of his wives? Cheated on his 3rd wife with a pornstar while she was pregnant?
Thats all before he was President, and off the top of my head, without any references or searching.
Would you like the list of shit he did while/after being President?
So, what you are saying is that you couldn't name just one. Exactly my point. It was too hard to name just one.
Oh, I named just one. Each one of those is just one thing.
That's mathin'
Have you ever seen someone drive 2 ways down a one way street? They're always only going one way.
Using the US military to prop up his failing golf course?

He's a convicted felon. He also told people during COVID to ingest disinfectants. There's a start.
That's two things. I win.
Gr8 b8 m8. Got me gud.
