I don't want us to fail, but I dont want him to succeed at getting away with all the harms he's caused or take credit for things Biden or Dems have done. I don't want him to screw us over and not get blamed for it. I want people to realize how awful he is.
I tell any MAGA people that I genuinely hope they are right. I hope that Trump will make everything better and it will be all sunshine and roses forever. But given his actions, the people and causes he has aligned himself with, and what he has literally said he plans to do, I do not believe that he will make things better for anyone besides himself and his ultra-rich friends. And I take no joy in the fact that the people he deceived into supporting him will be just as impacted as the rest of us.
He tried to subvert the election process in 2020 by inciting a riot for crying out loud. He said that Pence deserved to die for not cheating for him. Do those things mean nothing?
RIP Jimmy Carter who did good, not only during his Presidency, but for more than 40 years after he was 'pushed' out of office. The like of who shall not pass this way again.
Even people who thought Carter wasn’t that good as President or even disliked him agree on two things: 1) Humorous but still true: he is the best EX-President we’ve ever had and 2) He was a GOOD person.
The painter from Austria was a felon, too. He attempted to coup the Weimarer Republic and was in jail for some time. He later pardoned people, who were involved in this incident. Why Armerica? Why aren‘t people learning from us Germans, how electing racists can be really bad?
IF Trump can save TikTok, he's not doing it for us, the People. He will be doing it for himself, his own aggrandizement, & his own benefit. Not because he gives two sh*ts about any of us... not even his supporters. And, no... it will not change how I feel about him.
Okay, but consider this: Lincoln didn’t “free the slaves” because he was an abolitionist and saw the heinous immorality of the institution. He did it “to save the Union” because that gave him a tactical advantage over the Confederacy during the Civil War. Lincoln is on record stating if leaving enslaved Africans in chains would’ve been the best decision to save the union, then that’s what he would’ve done. So, my Q is: do you now feel differently about Abraham Lincoln’s position as “the greatest president in American history”?
@@EchoJ you completely missed the point of the video. Yeah Lincoln was complicated but he lead the country through its darkest period. Just like Washington was complicated in that he was instrumental in America's founding but he was also a strick slave master. Trump will probably do a few good things if only by accident. But that doesn't mean it will outweigh the harm that he's stated that he wants to do. And a portion of society will praise him for "owning the libs" regardless of what he does.
@CripesonaCracker is absolutely correct. Lincoln did it to save the union; to save America. Trump only does things for his own best interests and to inflate his ego; plain and simple. He does not give two $hits about the people. What he does is for his bottom line; like staying out of prison. A person like that is NOT what this country needs in a leadership position. And Tic-Toc, I really don't care if it stays or goes. But if he saves it, it will be for a reason that Benifits him; he doesn't care about you or anyone that uses Tic-Toc.
I kinda hope that the Tik Tok ban goes through, but I think that's just my bias against all of these asshole TikTok pranksters that deserve to rot in hell or at least be stuck in a room with no internet access for a few years. Honestly though I'm not sure what about TikTok seems to attract those types of people and whether or not TikTok is actually doing anything about it(They really should be because it's just people doing illegal shit most of the time). Though I'm open for good reasons why it shouldn't be and for someone to correct me on whether or not TikTok is actually keeping all of our information for China or not. I feel like I heard something about that but at the same time I'm skeptical due to all of the hard anti-china rhetoric we're stuck with in the States.
I do care about what he does because he has the potential to cause lasting negative effects on this country and all of us who live here. I say this because his last presidency did have negative effects that we and our children will have to pay for, for the rest of our lives. He caused a bigger deficit than any previous administration. He and the ancient turtle caused the mess we now have in the supreme court which will still be around long after I have passed or how about the wall that Mexico will never pay for, his first round of tariffs that increase prices and also created the need for subsidies to American farmers. I could go on, but I believe I have made my point; which is that everyone should care about what he does as he has an established record of hurting and even un-aliving the average American (his COVID shenanigans, such as no masks, dangerous medicines and injecting/drinking disinfectants and bleach). That is why I care what he does, not because I like him (I don't), but because he is dangerous in my opinion. For that reason, even though he makes you sick, you should also care what he does; when people give up and/or submit, that is when authoritarian dictators gain power.
The problem I see with this is that Trump hasn't actually articulated any policy or advocated for any change that will actually do good things for the U.S. Lots of stuff that will do BAD things, in some cases REALLY BAD things, but nothing that I've seen that could plausibly make the country a better place for pretty much anyone, well other than billionaires of course.
This is why part of me hopes that the people who voted for him get everything he promised. Sometimes you have to let somebody hurt themselves in hopes they might learn. Course, there'd still be a good chance they find a way to blame it all on liberals.
@@KaneMartin1it will be liberals undermining his presidency in their minds. They believe his policies will only hurt the people they have been taught are their enemy , those policies will affect everyone without the resources to insulate themselves which is most of us. When he keeps his promises his supporters will claim he was forced by "the deep state" to do those horrible things.
@KaneMartin1 Just like they voted to punish the "libs" who dared not kiss his sh*t covered ass. They gleefully describe concentration camps for liberals and hard work in the fields empty of thousands of skilled immigrants. They are going to be totally gobsmacked when they're sent to work right next to them. Instead of mournful spirituals ,there will be the constant cry of " but I voted for him."
Buying extra popcorn 🍿 to pop while the fires they set burn everything down. Tried maturity and kindness and “benefit of the doubt” for decades, and here we are. Nah, I’m done.
I thought once I escaped the rural backwards town and family I grew up in, I'd find some adults in the real world. Turns out emotional maturity and critical thinking are a rare skills.
I am really starting to wonder about people. What the hell is wrong with them? I mean look at the ones that have all the money and they are the most screwy. Elon, Vivek, Trump --biggest turds around. Their supporters are hateful. Sure don't seem happy. I don't think any of them read. Are they engaged with any kind of art? Doubtful. I don't think I would want any of their lives.
I've thought that for a while. How sad it is that people tie their whole identity to liking Trump. I see people in Trump shirts, or MAGA hats, or even FJB shirts and I think, "You must suck to be around. You probably can't go two minutes without praising Trump or saying how bad this country has gotten."
I live in an area where he is king to these people all I hear from them is complaining and moaning yet they have no idea how to fix an issue. All they want to do is complain about them so they voted for the guy who also complains about them.
All around where I live, people leave their trump political signs up year round. That just tells you how weirdly obsessed they are. They're so proud of their obsession with their cult leader, and they want everyone to see it, like they're trying to convince the rest of us. They've been trying for eight years now... sorry, not happening, lol!
I just got back from visiting Tennessee, and I saw a lot of Trump stores. Entire storefronts, one of which was a HUGE building, completely dedicated to selling Trump's merch. This behavior from these people is deeply unhealthy and frankly freakish.
@@missjo2036My experience has been conservatives vote for what’s best for themselves while liberals vote for what’s best for people they may not even know. Thats how I voted.
The best president we had or ever will have just died,Jimmy Carter, came from a ordinary working man and the only one that has cared about the people of this country Jimmy Carter was a REAL president for the people, not corporate America.
@@merrydaye4763 Maybe you need to Google. He was born in a house without electricity or plumbing, he worked at 13 packaging and taking a wagon to town to sell . Yes his family owned a peanut farm, but it was the depression, everyone was struggling, he worked hard in his young years, not like Trump, Elon where everything was handed to them, they never worked a hard day in their life. Google before you spout BS .
@@merrydaye4763 They wrote "ordinary working man", not raised in a poor family. He did work hard even when he was very old he'd still be out there building homes. And not a photo-op wearing an apron, actually pounding nails and carrying lumber. Plus, the Federal dude who did oversight on his peanut farm (since he actually followed the rules to avoid any conflict of interest) ran his farm into the ground. The Carters were almost penniless when they left the White House. Guessing he had to roll up his sleeves to rebuild after that too. Not many guys raised in wealth are hard working & down-to-Earth, and ordinary...well, I guess he was actually rather extraordinary. May he rest in peace.
We've seen this movie before. After the 16 election I hoped that getting in office would make him take the role seriously. That his advisors would steer him well. Never happened. Instead we got non-stop chaos and lawlessness. My hope is that old age finally gets him...the sooner the better.
When I was in shock and grieving Trump winning the election, a dear friend who is MAGA, tried to comfort me with this nugget: You’ll see, he (Trump) really is the best thing for this country. Ugh🤮 so deluded. I keep,praying for our country, for all of us, and praying that maga wakes up. 2026 is coming, we need to keep the spot light on Trump and his squad of incompetents so that we obliterate the maga crew in the mid-terms. 💙
One good deed (sorry, can’t think of a better analogy. I won’t argue saving Tik Tok is good or bad) does not absolve an entire lifetime of evil. They’re so short-sighted, they can’t comprehend “compounding interest on evil.”
And it's not like he has any interest in "saving TikTok". He's literally got one of his supporters trying to buy it so they can make it another Nazi propaganda outlet like Twitter.
Indeed. One good deed doesn't make a person good, one bad deed (with exceptions) doesn't make a person evil. Purity testing sucks hard and, in my mind, falls into the "bad deed" category. A certain Austrian dictator liked to paint and was a vegetarian (so I understand). I don't think anyone argue those made him a good person.
Problem America cares about PARTIES, Not look at the whole and not paying attention! HELL, why would you lower your standards and say that a felon who thinks women and others who are not him - are less then human! Using language that isn't even Presidential but not even what a decent human being should be! That young man said everything I couldn't even word here! There is no way am I for sale or lower my standards to vote for such a person! - Why did you think this person who should be in jail several times over - and OTHERS WOULD BE IF THEY WERE NOT SOME RICH CELEBRATY - is acceptable?? I lost so much respect for this country!
I think all social media should be shut down, not just Tiktok. SM is decaying the brains of young people and old people alike. We were closer and more empathetic as a country before 2005
We didn't vote for him, but because we are AMERICAN PATRIOTS, we want the best possible outcome for this country and our fellow citizens, both of which we love.
Well, frankly I don't care about tik tok. I used it back in 2015 as i use You Tube, to find things out or entertainment. When tik tok got political even back then, i quit and deleted it. Just for the record, I don't have a twitter account either, so a blue checkmark does nothing for me, it is pretty much a cesspool from what I have gathered. As for trump, I will support him as much as MAGA supported Biden, 'nuff said!
Yes, say's the people Who've been telling the same tired Cheeto jokes, literally screeching to the skies and ripping hats off peoples heads for the better part of a decade, YOU'RE the mature ones!😂😂
The difference between us and MAGA is if our politicians do something wrong we hold him responsible, MAGA makes excuses simply because that person is on their side. Perfect example is Mitch McConnell literally finding Trump not guilty of inciting an insurrection at the second impeachment and then right after the vote giving a speech in Congress where he said that Trump was guilty of inciting the insurrection that occurred on Jan 6th.
Wanting him to fail is not on my radar . Knowing he will fail is what is on my radar . He already failed miserably the first time he was in the White House . He is sticking to his same policy's so how is it going to be any different the second time around ? If anyone else failed as badly as he did their political career would be over . And it wouldn't have matter if they was democrat or republican .
I have been saying this for the past 4 years! Well said! I have been watching how Congress has turned into literally some of my worst days of 6th thru 12th grade I have ever experienced.
VERY WELL SAID!! I AGREE 💯, and I'm REALLY HOPING that Dumpty does good things for EVERYONE, rich, poor, Dems, Republicans, black, white, brown, green, men, female, gay, not gay, EVERYONE!!! I would be ECSTATIC if he does a good job, and since he'll NEVER get another chance you'd think he's want to be remembered for being a good president, NOT the person that destroyed us.
We are past the point of those that voted for him. Now its pure survival. This man spoke the truth....and he is right. I just want to spend what time I have left here doing my own thing. I don't engage with them because there is no point.
That's basically what I said. This election you had to choose between personal choice, and people's lives. There are people who did agree with Trump on certain issues, I'm sure there are many, but they still voted for Kamala because they understand that their personal choices should not outweigh everyone's life. Yes, I agreed with Trump on banning fluoride and dye and legalizing raw milk. I'm not picking that over women and lgbtq people and children born in the U.S and our relationships with other countries.
100% on point. Politicians are there to do a job not for a popularity contest. I hope and pray everyday that he does a good job and we are not completely screwed over.
I am not MAGA for Kamala Harris. I don't make excuses for her behavior. I don't make death threats to the political opposition. I merely voted for her because she seemed to genuinely want the best for our country. If she did one tenth of what Donald Trump has done, I would be screaming for her impeachment. That is the difference.
If Trump does good and does well by the country, I will be thankful. I wish for that outcome, but I find it too unlikely to hope for. I can't invest that emotional effort into such a low probability. Instead I have to dream that he will fail abundantly enough that we can move on from this chapter without hurting the people I care about. I can only bring myself to hope that his failures aren't too costly for us as a nation and as a world. And I have to prepare to be disappointed in even that low hope, to pick up the pieces and help put us back together afterward. And hope that we actually can move on afterward, unlike 2020
I could hang out with someone for a few hours, and find out what sort of person they are. Even just out shopping. Do they put the cart back, or do they just leave it by the vehicle kind of out the way? Do they leave all the displays much worse than they found them, or the same or better? Do they roll by the greeter like they are actually bothered by them, or do they at least nod and smile? I find out what sort of person you are, just by how you shop. And if you shop like people who not only never worked in a store, but they can't even imagine what that might be like, because their shopping tells you exactly that. But if I find out you're MAGA, that you believe and voted for that guy? I know you're a rotten person, rotten to the core. And for that reason, I'm out, as Mark Cuban would say. It's like levels. First level, you want others to succeed as much as you want success for yourself. Second level, you want you to succeed most of all, but are bothered when others are hindered. Third, you want to succeed most of all, and not only are not bothered that others are hindered (because you are not in those affected groups), but also it gives you great glee and happiness when it's groups of people you don't like who are actually being hurt; imprisoned, deported, financially ruined, fired just for who or what they are, getting daily death threats, etc... MAGA people are level 3. They are like people who are actively trying to sink the ship, that we're all on.
I honestly just want trump to serve his 4 years in Mar a Lago playing golf and not accomplish anything. I rather have a stalemate 4 years than his administration accomplishing anything from their project 2025. The guy is a free man... he can just retire for the rest of his term and do nothing.
I don't want my country to fail. I want it to succeed. If Trump can do that, awesome. I know he won't and can't because he literally isn't smart enough, but in the astronomically slim chance he does, fantastic
Good morning Joe. This is so true because it’s our country too. Why would we want our country to get screwed up. But then again who are we talking about. Plus Trump was the president once before and look how that went. But for the sake of my country and me I do hope everything goes smoothly. Praying.
That guy was so spit on. The good part of me want these people to tell them in a slow parental ways that I feel reasoning will work but it’s wore me out. I have a maga husband. I give up. Now I’m telling them they are on their own. I’m done!!!💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
Based on his past performance in his first term, I expect him to fail by himself. He's very adept at doing that. And maybe the very few good things, it's probably a blip on the wall. However, the only hope I have is his incompetence and ineptitude in as President will somewhat save us from his awful policies he wants to implement.
Yup, I never once had a W or Gore sticker, or Obama or Berniez Clinton or Biden. Heck this fall was the first time I ever put anything in my front yard and it was for Kamala Harris.
I just designed and ordered bumper stickers, "Don't Elon my Texas"and of course, as soon as I do, their feud breaks out and MAGAs will probably be cheering at it, which is still a good thing, but sheesh!
If trump decided to be a decent president i would run to social media and hype him up. I would be his biggest cheerleader talking about everything good he was doing. I would happily admit to being wrong. We all know that is not going to happen
I taught sixth-graders for years. They're better than this nonsense. Even the kids who put stickers on their eyeballs multiple times in a row were better than this nonsense. The "I win, you lose, nyah" mentality reminds me of my four-year-old niece more than anything else. (She's a sweet kid, just working on her impulse control.)
Great explanation on the day President Jimmy Carter passed away. The education level is below sixth grade. I took a class in journalism and we wrote for fourth to sixth graders. I was informed then that most newspapers wrote for an average sixth grader. Wow! I say this when sixth graders were baby sitting enfants, had neighborhood jobs and stayed out until it started to get dark. I doubt a sixth grader today would survive a day in our lives.😮
I have said, every time I was accused of "worshipping" Biden or Harris, that I don't fucking like the democratic candidate, I just see them as the lesser evil.
I've been saying that I think people may regret their decision, but that I hope I am wrong. I really, really hope I am wrong. I beg I am wrong. I do agree 8th grade is generous. This is elementary playground nonsense coming from so many. I am so disappointed in my fellow Americans. Not for who they voted for, but for the way the conduct themselves. Trashy behavior has somehow become the cool thing?
There's always going to be another mouse trap. There's always going to be ignorance. There's always going to be another moment to enjoy breathing. Dance like no one is watching Sing like no one is listening Love like you've never had your heart broken You were always enough This is your reminder to STAY ALIVE
@ he’s been molestong women for fifty years. Business Fraud for longer . Twice impeached and earning a new one now breaking emoluments laws with Elon musk paying to live with him to guide legislation based on his needs globally. Trump is a convict and felon and will be locked up in four short years! Yeeepeee
I want him to succeed. But I'm also living in the reality of knowing that he will not. He was not successful in his first 4 years. He won't be any better in his second 4 years. I want him to be held accountable for his crimes. I want him to not be president. For sure. Do I hope with all my being that democracy is left standing in 4 years? Yes! Do I have faith it will be? No.
I went to high school in the South. Graduated with an A-B average. I didn’t know my times tables, couldn’t do fractions or decimals or percentages. Junior College saved me. That was 1974. My friends from high school who barely graduated with a D-F average never went to college. If I graduated with a 6th grade level education, they graduated with a 3rd grade level education. They’re all Trump supporters. Have you ever tried to debate politics with a third grader? That’s what we’re up against.
Like, we are stuck with this man as our president, possibly for the next four years, bar nothing happening because again, man's 80. But none the less, all I can do is just hope for the best outcomes for this country while also hoping all the crazy ideas he wants implemented fail and fail hard.
Ya know, 96.325 % of the time i agree with you. But, that other 3.675%,... well let's just put it like this, this guy with his both sides equal parts at fault BS, has got to go! What success, does he think he's going to have? They said the said the same thing about Reagan, and right now, we are about to be living through his crap, on steroids! I don't want him to be successful at anything! I want him hindered for the next four years,... period!
Tiktok can disappear and it would not affect me. But I know many people developed their brand on that platform, so I do feel bad for those non maga content creators. There is nothing on this green earth or anything situation wise that could ever make me like the president elect. I’m preparing for the worse.
I like what he said; Personally I’d amend it to the people who I share a planet with. Nationalism is what got us here, I give less than a half turd about imaginary man drawn lines, I want humanity to thrive!
I think people forgot that he was the one that started talk of the ban in 2020. I don't think he wants to save it, at least not for us. He wants a chance to get paid.
I don't want Trump to do a bad job. I just expect it based on his previous term.
Or life "accomplishments"...
You mean when inflation was low every year Trump was in office? And your buddy Biden sent inflation soaring to 8%.
I don't want us to fail, but I dont want him to succeed at getting away with all the harms he's caused or take credit for things Biden or Dems have done. I don't want him to screw us over and not get blamed for it. I want people to realize how awful he is.
I don't want him to get away with it, so he can cause more harm, or for people to not realize it and not learn the lesson of trusting like they did.
I tell any MAGA people that I genuinely hope they are right. I hope that Trump will make everything better and it will be all sunshine and roses forever.

@@KaneMartin1They'll blame it on everyone else. Foreign agents, other nations, and Musk and Vivek.
Exactly
@KaneMartin1 Just like they voted to punish the "libs" who dared not kiss his sh*t covered ass. They gleefully describe concentration camps for liberals and hard work in the fields empty of thousands of skilled immigrants. They are going to be totally gobsmacked when they're sent to work right next to them. Instead of mournful spirituals ,there will be the constant cry of " but I voted for him."
It’s not “cheering for them to fail” when you point out the iceberg the coming captain is going to steer the ship into.
💯💯💯
This is the best explanation that I’ve heard. I feel the same way.
They say that great minds think alike.
Buying extra popcorn 🍿 to pop while the fires they set burn everything down. Tried maturity and kindness and “benefit of the doubt” for decades, and here we are. Nah, I’m done.
I thought once I escaped the rural backwards town and family I grew up in, I'd find some adults in the real world. Turns out emotional maturity and critical thinking are a rare skills.
I am really starting to wonder about people. What the hell is wrong with them? I mean look at the ones that have all the money and they are the most screwy. Elon, Vivek, Trump --biggest turds around. Their supporters are hateful. Sure don't seem happy. I don't think any of them read. Are they engaged with any kind of art? Doubtful. I don't think I would want any of their lives.
Men can be women 🤡
Dumb
@@manbearpig9911 Proved their point man(bearpig).
It’s why republicans want to defund public education and put in religious indoctrination as a subject instead of learning critical thinking skills.
I've thought that for a while. How sad it is that people tie their whole identity to liking Trump. I see people in Trump shirts, or MAGA hats, or even FJB shirts and I think, "You must suck to be around. You probably can't go two minutes without praising Trump or saying how bad this country has gotten."
I live in a mostly-Trump town and that group is pretty negative for sure.
I live in an area where he is king to these people all I hear from them is complaining and moaning yet they have no idea how to fix an issue. All they want to do is complain about them so they voted for the guy who also complains about them.
@TheGaffanon Absolutely correct. He attracts those like him. He's even 'appointing' those like him 🤪.
All around where I live, people leave their trump political signs up year round. That just tells you how weirdly obsessed they are. They're so proud of their obsession with their cult leader, and they want everyone to see it, like they're trying to convince the rest of us. They've been trying for eight years now... sorry, not happening, lol!
I just got back from visiting Tennessee, and I saw a lot of Trump stores. Entire storefronts, one of which was a HUGE building, completely dedicated to selling Trump's merch.
This behavior from these people is deeply unhealthy and frankly freakish.
Another truth teller. The guy is a total truth teller. More please.
They voted their hate and think that everyone else did too.
So did you liberals. Face it everyone voted with their feelings. Just unfortunately those two, fools were our choices.
@@missjo2036My experience has been conservatives vote for what’s best for themselves while liberals vote for what’s best for people they may not even know. Thats how I voted.
The best president we had or ever will have just died,Jimmy Carter, came from a ordinary working man and the only one that has cared about the people of this country
Jimmy Carter was a REAL president for the people, not corporate America.
Great man but no he was from a very wealthy family. Worth the Google
@@merrydaye4763 Maybe you need to Google. He was born in a house without electricity or plumbing, he worked at 13 packaging and taking a wagon to town to sell . Yes his family owned a peanut farm, but it was the depression, everyone was struggling, he worked hard in his young years, not like Trump, Elon where everything was handed to them, they never worked a hard day in their life. Google before you spout BS .
@@merrydaye4763 They wrote "ordinary working man", not raised in a poor family. He did work hard even when he was very old he'd still be out there building homes. And not a photo-op wearing an apron, actually pounding nails and carrying lumber. Plus, the Federal dude who did oversight on his peanut farm (since he actually followed the rules to avoid any conflict of interest) ran his farm into the ground. The Carters were almost penniless when they left the White House. Guessing he had to roll up his sleeves to rebuild after that too. Not many guys raised in wealth are hard working & down-to-Earth, and ordinary...well, I guess he was actually rather extraordinary. May he rest in peace.
We've seen this movie before. After the 16 election I hoped that getting in office would make him take the role seriously. That his advisors would steer him well. Never happened. Instead we got non-stop chaos and lawlessness. My hope is that old age finally gets him...the sooner the better.
His health is the windshield, and he’s the bug!
When I was in shock and grieving Trump winning the election, a dear friend who is MAGA, tried to comfort me with this nugget: You’ll see, he (Trump) really is the best thing for this country. Ugh🤮 so deluded. I keep,praying for our country, for all of us, and praying that maga wakes up. 2026 is coming, we need to keep the spot light on Trump and his squad of incompetents so that we obliterate the maga crew in the mid-terms. 💙
A blade of grass cheering on the lawn mower. 😮😮😮 super powerful. Real Talk.
Our country is in a sad state. It truly makes me worried for the future.
At 64 I have look forward to this crap for the rest of my life. Not my way of spending what years I have left. 😔
One good deed (sorry, can’t think of a better analogy. I won’t argue saving Tik Tok is good or bad) does not absolve an entire lifetime of evil. They’re so short-sighted, they can’t comprehend “compounding interest on evil.”
And it's not like he has any interest in "saving TikTok". He's literally got one of his supporters trying to buy it so they can make it another Nazi propaganda outlet like Twitter.
Indeed. One good deed doesn't make a person good, one bad deed (with exceptions) doesn't make a person evil. Purity testing sucks hard and, in my mind, falls into the "bad deed" category. A certain Austrian dictator liked to paint and was a vegetarian (so I understand). I don't think anyone argue those made him a good person.
He would only save Tic Tok if he gets a cut. Plus iDGAF about that app as they come and go. Eventually something else will replace it.
@@LA-cl4cc One of his donors has literally stated he intends to buy it and Trump would get a cut of the profits.
Problem America cares about PARTIES, Not look at the whole and not paying attention! HELL, why would you lower your standards and say that a felon who thinks women and others who are not him - are less then human! Using language that isn't even Presidential but not even what a decent human being should be! That young man said everything I couldn't even word here! There is no way am I for sale or lower my standards to vote for such a person! - Why did you think this person who should be in jail several times over - and OTHERS WOULD BE IF THEY WERE NOT SOME RICH CELEBRATY - is acceptable?? I lost so much respect for this country!
I think all social media should be shut down, not just Tiktok.
SM is decaying the brains of young people and old people alike. We were closer and more empathetic as a country before 2005
I’m old I like cars. That’s one of my main joys don’t take that away from me
We didn't vote for him, but because we are AMERICAN PATRIOTS, we want the best possible outcome for this country and our fellow citizens, both of which we love.
Well, frankly I don't care about tik tok. I used it back in 2015 as i use You Tube, to find things out or entertainment. When tik tok got political even back then, i quit and deleted it. Just for the record, I don't have a twitter account either, so a blue checkmark does nothing for me, it is pretty much a cesspool from what I have gathered. As for trump, I will support him as much as MAGA supported Biden, 'nuff said!
To say they're nursery/kindergarten level of mentality would be an insult to children!
Yes, say's the people Who've been telling the same tired Cheeto jokes, literally screeching to the skies and ripping hats off peoples heads for the better part of a decade, YOU'RE the mature ones!😂😂
Children can be taught, can learn. And have the excuse of being children for their behaviour.
Yep, most children are able to understand the idea of caring about everyone, not just themselves.
Absolutely. There is no dream candidate . None of them are for us. This guy speaks facts. it5 about us not them ❤
The difference between us and MAGA is if our politicians do something wrong we hold him responsible, MAGA makes excuses simply because that person is on their side. Perfect example is Mitch McConnell literally finding Trump not guilty of inciting an insurrection at the second impeachment and then right after the vote giving a speech in Congress where he said that Trump was guilty of inciting the insurrection that occurred on Jan 6th.
Wanting him to fail is not on my radar . Knowing he will fail is what is on my radar . He already failed miserably the first time he was in the White House . He is sticking to his same policy's so how is it going to be any different the second time around ? If anyone else failed as badly as he did their political career would be over . And it wouldn't have matter if they was democrat or republican .
We survived before Tic Tok. We will survive if it goes. 🤷
Preach
It’s not our job to care about the government. The government’s job is to care about us.
I have been saying this for the past 4 years! Well said! I have been watching how Congress has turned into literally some of my worst days of 6th thru 12th grade I have ever experienced.
VERY WELL SAID!! I AGREE 💯, and I'm REALLY HOPING that Dumpty does good things for EVERYONE, rich, poor, Dems, Republicans, black, white, brown, green, men, female, gay, not gay, EVERYONE!!!
I would be ECSTATIC if he does a good job, and since he'll NEVER get another chance you'd think he's want to be remembered for being a good president, NOT the person that destroyed us.
We are past the point of those that voted for him. Now its pure survival. This man spoke the truth....and he is right.
I just want to spend what time I have left here doing my own thing. I don't engage with them because there is no point.
That is the difference.. There seems to be no room for intelligent discussion..
To be honest a large portion of my life is how much I loathe MAGA
I want him to fail at sending yes-men & yes-women nominees who are his government mules.
I keep trying to explain to people that elections are really big panel job interviews not team sports events.
Blue is WE. Red is ME
That's basically what I said. This election you had to choose between personal choice, and people's lives. There are people who did agree with Trump on certain issues, I'm sure there are many, but they still voted for Kamala because they understand that their personal choices should not outweigh everyone's life.
Yes, I agreed with Trump on banning fluoride and dye and legalizing raw milk. I'm not picking that over women and lgbtq people and children born in the U.S and our relationships with other countries.
@@LycanFerretsensible and cerebral..something Maga is not.
They seem to think WE means the individual is left behind. The collective relies on the individuals and the individuals rely on the collective.
Conservatives are sub human.
Idk, I'm not being disarmed, nor am I being forced into socialist medicine.. that's not we, that's "or else"
100% on point. Politicians are there to do a job not for a popularity contest. I hope and pray everyday that he does a good job and we are not completely screwed over.
Power corrupts. Absolute power ABSOLUTELY corrupts.
Thoren was on point, & so are you. Thank you
Smart young man.. 🇨🇦
I am not MAGA for Kamala Harris. I don't make excuses for her behavior. I don't make death threats to the political opposition. I merely voted for her because she seemed to genuinely want the best for our country. If she did one tenth of what Donald Trump has done, I would be screaming for her impeachment. That is the difference.
If Trump does good and does well by the country, I will be thankful. I wish for that outcome, but I find it too unlikely to hope for. I can't invest that emotional effort into such a low probability. Instead I have to dream that he will fail abundantly enough that we can move on from this chapter without hurting the people I care about. I can only bring myself to hope that his failures aren't too costly for us as a nation and as a world. And I have to prepare to be disappointed in even that low hope, to pick up the pieces and help put us back together afterward. And hope that we actually can move on afterward, unlike 2020
I dont want him to destroy the country, I just know he will...
I could hang out with someone for a few hours, and find out what sort of person they are. Even just out shopping. Do they put the cart back, or do they just leave it by the vehicle kind of out the way? Do they leave all the displays much worse than they found them, or the same or better? Do they roll by the greeter like they are actually bothered by them, or do they at least nod and smile? I find out what sort of person you are, just by how you shop. And if you shop like people who not only never worked in a store, but they can't even imagine what that might be like, because their shopping tells you exactly that. But if I find out you're MAGA, that you believe and voted for that guy? I know you're a rotten person, rotten to the core. And for that reason, I'm out, as Mark Cuban would say. It's like levels. First level, you want others to succeed as much as you want success for yourself. Second level, you want you to succeed most of all, but are bothered when others are hindered. Third, you want to succeed most of all, and not only are not bothered that others are hindered (because you are not in those affected groups), but also it gives you great glee and happiness when it's groups of people you don't like who are actually being hurt; imprisoned, deported, financially ruined, fired just for who or what they are, getting daily death threats, etc... MAGA people are level 3. They are like people who are actively trying to sink the ship, that we're all on.
I honestly just want trump to serve his 4 years in Mar a Lago playing golf and not accomplish anything. I rather have a stalemate 4 years than his administration accomplishing anything from their project 2025. The guy is a free man... he can just retire for the rest of his term and do nothing.
If Trump works out, great. He did well for the country. Awesome. He won't, but if he does, sweet.
Did well for this country. 😂😅😂😅😂😅 I don't have the time or crayons to explain how wrong you are.
@@Tattedlady60I believe you may have misinterpreted the comment you commented on.
@@Tattedlady60 I think you misunderstood the above comment.
@@wilddave18073yeah original comment needs a comment after great to make actual sense
I don't want my country to fail. I want it to succeed. If Trump can do that, awesome. I know he won't and can't because he literally isn't smart enough, but in the astronomically slim chance he does, fantastic
He didnt finish the wall and got the US taxpayer's to pay for ut. Therefor he failed... massively 😂
Good morning Joe. This is so true because it’s our country too. Why would we want our country to get screwed up. But then again who are we talking about. Plus Trump was the president once before and look how that went. But for the sake of my country and me I do hope everything goes smoothly. Praying.
This guy is spot on. We have a culture of cults. Just tribalism and nonsense.
So nice to see Thoren put the ax down and speak up💙💙💙
Amen, may we all be safe and protected in the next four years.
To both of you...thank you for saving my sanity! You voice what my mind screams 24/7. ❤
BFT. Billionaires for Trump
In January 2017 I also said let's hope for the best.
That guy was so spit on. The good part of me want these people to tell them in a slow parental ways that I feel reasoning will work but it’s wore me out. I have a maga husband. I give up. Now I’m telling them they are on their own. I’m done!!!💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸
See, this is all assuming that MAGA both cares about, and can even begin to understand, the concept of consequences. You already lost them.
They'll just blame Biden for all of trumps failures or Obama.
“You are a blade of grass cheering on the lawnmower“
Based on his past performance in his first term, I expect him to fail by himself. He's very adept at doing that. And maybe the very few good things, it's probably a blip on the wall. However, the only hope I have is his incompetence and ineptitude in as President will somewhat save us from his awful policies he wants to implement.
The incompetence& ineptitude of incoming House & Senate will be what saves us, AEB the past 2 yrs
Thank you for posting. I agree with what was said And how it was said.
Yup, I never once had a W or Gore sticker, or Obama or Berniez Clinton or Biden. Heck this fall was the first time I ever put anything in my front yard and it was for Kamala Harris.
I just designed and ordered bumper stickers, "Don't Elon my Texas"and of course, as soon as I do, their feud breaks out and MAGAs will probably be cheering at it, which is still a good thing, but sheesh!
Me too, although I do have a Bernie mittens shirt.
I'm 70, and this is the first time I put up a sign it was for Harris.
He will never do anything good for this country.
If trump decided to be a decent president i would run to social media and hype him up. I would be his biggest cheerleader talking about everything good he was doing. I would happily admit to being wrong. We all know that is not going to happen
lol and you think that’s something to be proud of?
Yes, well, Said. Honest, smart, and chilling! ❤❤😊😊
Wasn't Trump the one who started calling for a ban of Tik Tok in 2020? How can he be the "hero" if he started the whole thing?
I taught sixth-graders for years. They're better than this nonsense. Even the kids who put stickers on their eyeballs multiple times in a row were better than this nonsense. The "I win, you lose, nyah" mentality reminds me of my four-year-old niece more than anything else. (She's a sweet kid, just working on her impulse control.)
Great explanation on the day President Jimmy Carter passed away. The education level is below sixth grade. I took a class in journalism and we wrote for fourth to sixth graders. I was informed then that most newspapers wrote for an average sixth grader. Wow! I say this when sixth graders were baby sitting enfants, had neighborhood jobs and stayed out until it started to get dark. I doubt a sixth grader today would survive a day in our lives.😮
I have said, every time I was accused of "worshipping" Biden or Harris, that I don't fucking like the democratic candidate, I just see them as the lesser evil.
I don't do tick tock so still don't care for the orange devil.
He wants to save tik toc because he's sucking up to China's president because he has money invested in Chinese companies,nothing more.
I've been saying that I think people may regret their decision, but that I hope I am wrong. I really, really hope I am wrong. I beg I am wrong. I do agree 8th grade is generous. This is elementary playground nonsense coming from so many. I am so disappointed in my fellow Americans. Not for who they voted for, but for the way the conduct themselves. Trashy behavior has somehow become the cool thing?
If you can't disagree with the person whom you voted for then you're definitely a bootlicker.
Thoren is a great guy. Seems very knowledgeable and kind.
Trump plays to much games of misdirection
There's always going to be another mouse trap. There's always going to be ignorance. There's always going to be another moment to enjoy breathing.
Dance like no one is watching
Sing like no one is listening
Love like you've never had your heart broken
You were always enough
This is your reminder to STAY ALIVE
I want him sentenced to prison damnit the hell. He goes down in 2028 and has already been convicted. He is a felon.
And the judge also said since he was at the time still, former president that he has immunity.
@ he’s been molestong women for fifty years. Business Fraud for longer . Twice impeached and earning a new one now breaking emoluments laws with Elon musk paying to live with him to guide legislation based on his needs globally. Trump is a convict and felon and will be locked up in four short years! Yeeepeee
Trump ain't saving nothing wake up😂
I want him to succeed. But I'm also living in the reality of knowing that he will not. He was not successful in his first 4 years. He won't be any better in his second 4 years. I want him to be held accountable for his crimes. I want him to not be president. For sure. Do I hope with all my being that democracy is left standing in 4 years? Yes! Do I have faith it will be? No.
I went to high school in the South. Graduated with an A-B average. I didn’t know my times tables, couldn’t do fractions or decimals or percentages. Junior College saved me. That was 1974. My friends from high school who barely graduated with a D-F average never went to college. If I graduated with a 6th grade level education, they graduated with a 3rd grade level education. They’re all Trump supporters. Have you ever tried to debate politics with a third grader? That’s what we’re up against.
This truly needs to go viral. I mean, damn!
We don't WANT him to fail but we KNOW he will be terrible
At this point….
I don’t care anymore.
Have a plan B, C, D
Like, we are stuck with this man as our president, possibly for the next four years, bar nothing happening because again, man's 80. But none the less, all I can do is just hope for the best outcomes for this country while also hoping all the crazy ideas he wants implemented fail and fail hard.
THE TRUTH WILL TELL THAT KAMALA REALLY WON NOT THE ORANGE CHEATER KARMA WILL GET HIM.
Ya know, 96.325 % of the time i agree with you. But, that other 3.675%,... well let's just put it like this, this guy with his both sides equal parts at fault BS, has got to go! What success, does he think he's going to have? They said the said the same thing about Reagan, and right now, we are about to be living through his crap, on steroids! I don't want him to be successful at anything! I want him hindered for the next four years,... period!
I’m hoping to be proven wrong about what I thought was going to happen when he got elected. I’m excited to see what America looks like great, again…
Tiktok can disappear and it would not affect me. But I know many people developed their brand on that platform, so I do feel bad for those non maga content creators. There is nothing on this green earth or anything situation wise that could ever make me like the president elect. I’m preparing for the worse.
If Tik Tok disappears, most people won't care. Those content creators will find another platform.
I like what he said;
Personally I’d amend it to the people who I share a planet with. Nationalism is what got us here, I give less than a half turd about imaginary man drawn lines, I want humanity to thrive!
Best I've heard 👍
I think people forgot that he was the one that started talk of the ban in 2020. I don't think he wants to save it, at least not for us. He wants a chance to get paid.
I completely agree will the low mental acuity.
Can't go wrong with stitching Thoren. Solid critical thinker. Thank you ❤
It’s not about saving tic tok, it’s about protecting America.
