I don't disagree with Trump on Anything

and I'm simply pointing out that He's done a lot more than simply appointing judges.

And I’m simply pointing out that President Trump has the undying loyalty of many conservative Christians for doing a few visible things (regardless of whatever else he has done that has garnered less attention). The point you are making is not relevant for a very large number of his supporters.

I can't think of one thing I disagree with Trump on.

Okay so maybe you will ask: Well, who are YOU (Createdequal) that we should CARE what you agree or disagree about?

Well, I consider myself more educated than most Americans. Typos in my posts indicate nothing more than being rushed.

Mostly I have educated myself by reading non-fiction for many years and I also have some college credits (history, etc).

I once took an I.Q. test and it was above average

I try to think things through to their logical conclusion before making up my mind. I hope all Americans learn to do the same before 2020 

I think things through (as best I can) every topic brought up in debates and so forth... such thoughtfulness, appreciation for logic and so on explains why I am a Republican 

I am also a devout Christian, someone who has read the whole bible and some parts of it repeatedly. There are parts of it I don't quite understand and some things I have a hard time accepting, mostly in the Old Testament. In any case I have now explained somewhat who I am. I have also been through many "interesting" experiences in life and have endured egregious persecution.

So yes, that makes me credible in my opinion.

I don't see how Trump could be doing much of a better job, except maybe he could do something about the homeless problem. That's about all I can think of.

So why all this criticism from even from other "Republicans"?

I don't get it.

But as I said elsewhere, I think most people do not care much about the truth. Some care more about appearing to be "fair minded" for example than being truth-minded. In other words people will agree with the left rather than appear to be narrow minded by disagreeing with them too often.

I took the liberty of cleaning up your many spelling and grammar errors, as well as tidy up some bad punctuation and sentence structure. The reason I did this is not to be mean or sarcastic but to illustrate a point. If a person is going to make their perceived intelligence the focal point of why one should give their views weight, then it is extremely important to write in a way that demonstrates stated intelligence. I don't personally sit down to create a response until I have time to carefully consider what I'm writing. I'm certainly not perfect, you will notice I edit even very old posts of mine when I notice a spelling or grammar error. But I also don't brag about how smart I think I am which (deservedly) invites scrutiny.

I also:

- Read non-fiction extensively.

- Have a masters degree. 

- A very high I.Q.

- Been through "interesting" experiences. (Really, who here hasn't?)

None of this gives my views any weight whatsoever because the validity of an argument stands or falls based on the evidence presented. If you think Trump is doing a good job when many others don't, the issue is not that we're all a bunch of dolts who don't "get it" we just have a very different notion of what a "good" job is.

I always say that President Trump must be doing things right....because most of Hollywood hates him.

If he admitted to wrongdoing and asked for forgiveness and showed repentance, I would agree. He has not. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing that has sadly fooled a great number of conservative Christians by doing a few things that we like (appointing conservative judges).

why because cnn (clinton news network) says so?

i have no evidence he is a sheep in wolf's clothing. And even if he was not as good @ policy as he obviously is, Christians would HAVE to vote for him because he is the ONLY one who is pro life..

I'm not sure I want to respond to someone who does petty things like this.... just my visceral response..

I apologize if this comes off as antagonistic, but peacocking your IQ doesn't really win a person points in a debate. More... Makes one lose points. It's not simply a matter of IQ either, after all. All the knowledge in the world can't help someone if they can't think.

More of an independent, myself. I lean either left or right depending on the issue and the situation, or even lean elsewhere if neither of the two parties befits the problem. I don't think Trump is doing a terrible job either, and if nobody else arises, I might vote for him. That being said, my compliments are only with what's been done. His personality and... Social grace are what i'm not very in to. Also, he seems to spend quite a bit of time tweeting and watching the news. Though, while I accuse him of stirring up the pot, many of his adversaries do the same; a bunch of pointless drama that has no place in politics, much less in civilized society, in my opinion. Still, as I said, he fills the role of president well enough. Certainly better than Obama.

I understand your sentiments and agree that the pro-life stance is critical. That's why I am hoping and praying for a 2020 candidate with this perspective that ALSO exhibits a character much more similar to the example of Jesus Christ.
