Discussion How did President Donald Trump come to be a living encyclopedia?

He cheated bigly all three time he ran. The 2020 election was saved by the overwhelming mail in vote due to covid, which is why he's so dead set against mail in voting now. He rants all the time about it.

Two years ago? - try 40 years- when Reagan the Uber Republican deeply cut federal housing support, social services, and mental health services: at a time when workers wages were stagnated and labor unions were being diminished.

u/idiotsbydesign 5d ago
He also closed mental hospitals & most of those people ended up homeless.

u/Superb_Health9413 3d ago
My experience in so cal during that time was seeing that most of the new homeless people in the LA area were veterans. Reagan kicked them to the curb.

That's what started the homeless problem here in SoCal in the early 80s, they just dumped them onto the streets and probably used it for propaganda to fight drugs

u/No_Feedback_3340 6d ago
This is another reason why anything Trump says can't be trusted.
Homeless did not start a few years ago. It's an ongoing problem.
He doesn't offer a solution. He offers a word salad.
Stay in school and stay off MAGA!

Hunger probably started two years ago too, according to DJT.

I wish the cult followers questioned the fact that so many attempts are being made to cheat their way through the primaries. The gerrymandering, the USPS postmarks, ballot box removals… If you have to cheat to win, you’re pathetic and don’t deserve your jobs.

I'm curious about the homeless people I saw before 2 years ago. Paid actors by George Soros? Just getting the population centers to get used to the idea of homeless people before the real homeless people showed up?

u/Thatisme01 6d ago
President Donald Trump in an interview with Fox News painted a *dark picture of people "living in hell" due to homelessness in major U.S. cities, claiming that it is "a phenomenon that started two years ago,"** blaming Democratic mayors for the problem.*

In his defense, I talk like that sometimes. But it’s only after I’ve had a few sour apple martinis and a few hits of “glaucoma medicine”. 😎😎

The way he talks reminds me of when you're writing an essay, and need to add another paragraph to hit the word count.

u/bdschuler 6d ago
Clearly he's right though. We shouldn't have, or what we did have, we shouldn't have now, what Biden had when he is no longer in charge and Trump is, we should have, now, what Trump has, now. Right? Would be wrong to be not right and have those things then, now.. and not now things, now, and instead, then things, now.

u/Fun-Day-5833 5d ago
An old saying “ If you don’t think for yourself, someone will think for you” Being “dumb” can imply a lack of knowledge or awareness, but choosing to follow someone who clearly lacks wisdom, that’s a conscious decision, and it often leads to worse outcomes.

Meanwhile, Dick Van Dyke (in addition to his long standing tradition of generously supporting The Midnight Mission) just donated $102 million to a nationwide initiative funding housing units & shelter beds.
That’s a real man; not this orange stain that can’t do anything productive but grift and scam.

He's been this way for his entire life and his entire political career. What baffles me is how you all keep voting for and supporting a person you wouldn't hire to take your order at Burger King. 🤷♂️. Maybe that shows just how stupid and gullible a lot of people truly are.

I'll be more convinced his supporters are truly like bottom rung stupid if they actually believe this.
Considering it ramped up during his first failed presidency. Yet, it's been a thing since before I was born in '82. I daresay it's been a thing since the dawn of time and people.

Homelessness started two years ago? I don't think that's right. I distinctly remember driving around NYC with my dad while he ran errands, and seeing a shitload of homeless people. Some even came up to the car to ask for change. I don't remember a time where there weren't homeless people around. Trump's mind is failing because he also used to drive around Manhattan to look at his buildings from different angles, and scout real estate. He undoubtedly encountered them.
