Say something positive about Trump, when he deserves it, and you wont sound so partisan, and sound more like a free thinker.


He's donating $1 million dollars of his own money to Harvey victims, he didn't have to do that if he didn't want to. Hillary Clinton will probably be profiting from the disaster through her foundation.

Now isn't that a great thing to do? give him some praise for this.

Oh thank you for handing me this cherry!

Trump 'has said' he'll donate a million dollars to the Harvey victims but still hasn't done so.
When his Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked about why he still hasn't made his reported 'donation' she claimed that he's still having trouble making his supposed million dollar donation to Hurricane Harvey relief because the media hasn’t yet told him which charity to give it to. Really.

There's the thanks he gets.

Still his only crime was running for President. And the political establishment didn't like it, and neither do the political establishment Storm Troopers.

Now that's where you're going wrong!
This larry's been criming it up as far back as he can remember. You don't get the long established nickname 'Don the Con' in your home state for nothing!

The guy HAS comitted treason in a massive way against his own Country and he is also guilty of at least one count of obstruction of justice. You not heard about 'Trump University' ? The money laundering ? I could go on but it'll probably just be falling on deaf ears.

Do go on, I'm a good listener. I like to be educated.

Err but the best you can say is, it's better than nothing? We could all donate a million dollars to charity if we were multi-millionaires... How benevolent it makes him depends entirely on whether or not that is actually a significant amount of money to him. Point me to something genuinely motive less and not self-serving that he has done, if you want him to get praise. This sounds a lot like him trying to "buy good press", in my opinion. I'm very rarely impressed by "money" tbh.

More appreciation for a good deed done here.

What has Donald Trump ever done to you? to make you so annoyed that he'd whack in a nice chunk of his money for victims? Why can't you just say "What a nice gesture, he's not so bad after all"

What has Donald Trump ever done to me? ... He's helped to bring the world closer to Nuclear catastrophe than it has been since the opening days of the Cold War, in less than 9 months in power. And then he's tried to turn people's heads away from that utterly terrifying fact by donating - sorry, pledging to donate - a bit of his pocket money to charity.

Why can't I say "oh he's not so bad after all"? Because I'm not stupid or gullible, I suppose.

But itt isn't actually Trump firing rockets over Japan and telling another country he's going to shoot at their populated island. You are actually blaming Trump for not appeasing the one firing the rockets. It's a bit bizarre.

Obviously Kim Jong is a madman and a dictator, just as his father was before him, but that's sort of a moot point? North Korea doesn't have the firepower to destroy the world; the United States does. The NK situation has been volatile for decades, it needs to be handled with care and skillful diplomacy. Trump kicks hornets nests because he feels like it.

Plus, it's not just about the NK situation... Trump is well on his way - in under a year - to creating a tense and unstable global political environment that puts every person on the planet at risk. It's like Spider-man, Jaxie. With great power comes great responsibility. Currently the most powerful man in the world is an irresponsible one.

If a careless man drops a box full of dynamite and blows a load of people up... should you blame the idiot who was carrying the box? Of course you do. Although, maybe you should blame the people who gave him the box in the first place

Whilst I agree with most of that I feel that a lot of blame lies with an inadequate political system, as well as voters on both sides, for such a poor choice in candidates. There was no choice for many - Trump appeared the lesser of the two evils.

People keep voting in dishonest, power-driven and often corrupt politicians, always sticking to the two main parties. Where is there ever a true choice in America or here. Just the same old power-driven types heading up the polls decade after decade.
