This is the kind of behavior I'd expect of an edgy 12 year old. That weird kid who sat in the back of the class and carved shit into the desk. Is this really the look republican voters want from their representation? I thought they looked up to manly portrayals of men. Men who said little, but exuded strength from their actions. Is this really how they want to be portrayed. It's just cringey and embarrassing.
i mean hes also trashing the white house to build his ballroom, like destroying half of the white house to build it.
For only $180,000,000. Right wing fiscal responsibility.
Oh I'm aware. I'm just questioning republican MAGA voter's perception. I've worked in construction most of my adult life and even in my childhood I spent much of my time around the real macho old school conservative types. I just don't understand how anyone who looked up to the classic strongman stereotype of a man can support such an obvious "pansy". In their eyes the ideal man was strong, silent, honorable, hard working, tough, courageous, the all American cowboy archetype.
Trump is none of those things. This video is just another of many examples of what an absolute pathetic loser he is and yet republicans still continue to allow him to represent them. I'd be embarrassed to be in the same party as him and I'm the furthest thing from a republican. I just don't get it.
its called "being in too deep" when you support someone/something to the point your survival/livelyhood is dependant upon him, you have to keep doubling down in order to keep the "grift going". the gop has to support them, if they want to remain in thier positions.
