I am Libertarian, but due to my options when voting, I've always picked a Republican candidate. My favorite president was Ronald Reagan. Since then, I've said that all presidents have pretty much sucked.
In terms of Trump, on an personal level he is simply the typical high-powered developer that we are used to in NYC. He has an arrogance to him, but its always been there, so no surprises. The shit he has done in the past on a social level is pretty dirty (shady business deals, lying about his true wealth, Trump Univ, grabbing pussies without permission etc), but that's always been him. As a NY'er I can appreciate him because he is very old school New York. I did not think he was presidential material based on his shady past and his treatment of people (insulting Asians while answering questions at the White House, no filter, making numerous stupid comments like injecting bleach - ouch), but in over 40 years now I've yet to see a single President that hasn't been shady or questionable with their behavior (Bill practically fucked everyone including Arnold's maid). Is Trump better than Biden? Without question. Roadkill is better than Biden. Do I think Trump did as much as he promised to do during his presidency? No. But then again all of the people that make it to president do so with false promises that never come true. Trump didn't start a war, which was great, but there seemed to be a palpable divide within the nation (Pro-Trumper vs everyone else). We don't need that. We Americans are already assholes all on OUR own.
Who I'd like to see next in the White House? Easy. There are 2 people that I think can do a good job. Rob DeSantis is my first pick. He proved to be an independent thinker when the entire country was blindly following the narrative and seems to be a man of principles, for those reasons he would have my vote. The other candidate I enjoy listening to on occasion and I could "consider" voting for is this handsome woman below:

You need to get over the locker room talk of the grab them by the pussy thing. That's all it was. Plus being on GB how many times have you seen the Governator's pic of him actually doing that on here? If you haven't, can someone please post it to remind you. That is the "screw your freedoms" guy, and the dick that talks about the climate crisis while he almost killed someone driving one of the hugest and least fuel efficient suv''s made. And the bleach thing was taken out of context kinda like the Charlottesville quote that they still keep going. Charlottesville, the entirety of the clip is out there for anyone willing to seek it and listen. He clearly denounced white supremicists and any group like them in words, out loud, full stop. The bleach thing was him just shooting from the hip, and saying what if? Yes, it was dumb of him to say, but if anyone actually tried it and died............well, I'm sorry, but those people were too dumb to be on this planet anyway much like the stupid fucking fish tank couple that thought the version of hydro was the same as the human grade prescription or anyone that went to Tractor Trailer Supply store to get their Ivermectin. You can't cure stupid...............nev
ermind, I guess at least a few people did.
I don't agree with everything Trump has done or said, and I always thought he was an arrogant fuck when on TV. When it came down to it though, I always thought a business man/woman should be running the show and make decisions as such. I never thought Forbes or Perot had a chance so I just didn't vote plus I was young and naïve about politics back then so I just didn't care much. I figured they were all the same so just let it play out, and I never thought Obuma would get elected since he was so full of shit, and since we are supposedly such a "racist" nation. Can you give me some examples of things Trump ran on that he said he would do that he didn't at least try to get going/done? I'm being serious and I respect you a lot and enjoy your posts so please don't take that as me being flippant toward you. I just can't think of any, and I can think of things he did that he never platformed on like the First Step Act and Opportunity Zones which was and idea brought to him by Sen. Scott........a black guy, but yet Trump is a racist supposedly when both of those things were totally for blacks in America.
Funny on your last part of your post. First off, I agree that Trump was very polarizing, but it all came from the left and from Hollywood. There was an old thread were you and I were posting back and forth and I posted several pics of "celebrities" that had been talking shit about Trump from Kathy Griffin to JZ, Killary and others who were in pics with Trump smiling their asses off and thrilled to be seen with him. What changed? Did they like him then? His personality has never changed, so if they thought he was so maniacal why would they want to be captured in pics with him? They are phonies, and anyone that takes advice from "celebrities" is a fucking idiot and as fake as they are.
Secondly, I have thought about this a lot since the dipshit in chief "won", and after seeing Tulsi on Rogan and Fox as well as how Desantis done things (basicaally making FL it's own country and telling Biden to fuck off), I have thought that the best ticket for 2024 would be Desantis as Prez and Tulsi as VP. I think they are both fabulous and as truthful as they can be. Let's face it, in politics you have to lie/hold back things at times. But, unlike this administration and people like Pelosi, schumer, schaffe, AOC, etc. you don't have to fucking lie, narrate, and propagandize shit ALL OF THE TIME. How can anyone argue with a balanced aka Republican and Democrat ticket? We get two people that will agree on a lot, and have differing opinions on other things that they will consider behind closed doors. They are both open to reason, believe what they believe, and both proud of what the Nation and Constitution stand for. Trump still has clout, and can go around the country supporting them, AG"s, Governors, Congress people, etc. and just say I'm too old to do this again for four years. People will understand cuz they liked what he did, and they have seen now that people his age like Pelosi and Biden are too fuckin old to do this shit.
Lastly, and not in any relation to this. I saw that you and another regular member like me could no PM bcuz of some settings issue. Can you PM, just saying "hey" or "check"? I have an issue I need advice for from someone in your field. Basic shit, and promise not to be as long winded as a normally am on here.
