It appears that she bought Trump's spiel - hook, line and sinker. I'm posting her words here to let DU pick away at all the claims she makes. It would be interesting to post a point by point rebuttal to her facebook post. It amazes me as to how gullible these Trumper's are. This is what these people believe. Most of her claims here are simply laughable. Especially the one about pedophilia and sex trafficking. Here's her post:
The man in the White House just brokered two Middle East Peace Accords, something that 71 years of political intervention and endless war failed to produce.
The man in the White House is the first president that has not engaged us in a foreign war since Eisenhower.
The man in the White House has had the greatest impact on the economy, bringing jobs, and lowering unemployment to the Black and Latino population of ANY other president. Ever.
The man in the White House has exposed the deep, widespread, and long-standing corruption in the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and the Republican and Democratic parties.
The man in the White House turned NATO around and had them start paying their dues.
The man in the White House neutralized the North Koreans, stopped them from developing a further nuclear capability, sending missiles toward Japan, and threatening the West Coast of the US.
The man in the White House turned our relationship with the Chinese around, brought hundreds of business back to the US, and revived the economy.
The man in the White House has accomplished the appointing of three Supreme Court Justices and close to 300 Federal Judges.
This man in the White House lowered your taxes, increased the standard deduction on your IRS return from $12,500 for Married Filing Joint to $24,400 and caused your stock market to move to record levels over 100 times, positively impacting the retirements of tens of millions of citizens.
The man in the White House fast-tracked the development of a COVID Vaccine - we still don't have a vaccine for SARS, Bird Flu, Ebola, or a host of diseases that arose during previous administrations.
The man in the White House rebuilt our military which the Obama administration had crippled and had fired 214 key generals and admirals in his first year of office.
This man in the White House uncovered widespread pedophilia in the government and in Hollywood, and is exposing world wide sex trafficking of minors and bringing children home to their families.
The man in the White House works for free and has lost well over 2 billion dollars of his own money in serving - and done all of this and much more in the face of relentless undermining and opposition from people who are threatened because they know they are going to be exposed as the criminals that they are if he is re-elected.
I got it, you don't like him. Many of you utterly hate and despise him. How special of you. He is serving you and ALL the American people. What are you doing besides calling him names and laughing about him catching the China virus ?????
And please educate me again as to what Biden has accomplished for America in his 47 years in office?
Have at it folks!!!!!

(25,226 posts)Remember she has a son in the military.
So Mother Trumper - if you believe all that you posted on Facebook about Trump - you must also believe that he thinks the military are 'losers and suckers'.
Is your son a 'loser or sucker'?

(37,157 posts)The man in the White House did none of those things, but since you're clearly living in high fantasy, how are the dragons doing?

(46,023 posts)that one is true, but hardly something to be proud of. Many of the judges were rated unqualified by the bar association.

It's what kept him from being impeached.

(46,023 posts)Clinton sent troops to Bosnia. Maybe that counts. Did Jimmy Carter involve us in a foreign war?

(7,911 posts)It must be one of those things that RWers are passing around among themselves to justify their delusions.
wryter2000
(46,023 posts)Going back to at least Clinton, all of them are long lists of things. No one in their right mind has the time to answer them all, so if you contradict one or two of them, it makes it appear as if the other ones are valid.

He voted Libertarian
They think Biden will screw things up.

(43,155 posts)Basically, someone plants bullshit out on social media, but instead of asking readers to share--and thus identifying its author--they will tell readers to "cut and paste", thus replicating it many times over like a virus while the person responsible for the lies gets away.
Also, they inevitably have a tendency to make the re-posters sound smarter--or at least more verbose--than they actually are.
They rely on intellectual laziness to thrive and survive.
And unfortunately, that's exactly what they do.

(19,264 posts)There is nothing you could say to change her mind. She is just mad and wants to take it out on someone. You could literally had Jesus join the chat with you and she would renounce Jesus over her new lord and savior Trump.
I see stuff like that I smile and move on. Joe won. Nothing someone says on facebunk will change that.

(778 posts)None of these countries are, or ever were at war with Israel, they routinely traded with Israel. They were already at peace through their own choices. They didn't need a piece of paper to state they were at peace. They didn't need the US to broker a peace.
This was just these countries creating a photo op press conference opportunity for Trump to strut around like a rooster on acid, pretending like he did something. In return they got weapons systems from the US. I wonder if her son feels safer with us dumping more military hardware into the middle east, he shouldn't if he's got half a brain cell working.

(7,566 posts)Let's look at the claim about NATO for example. On the NPR website here https://www.npr.org/2018/07/11/628137185/fact-check-trumps-claims-on-nato-spending it states that this claim is false.
The U.S. has not been stiffed for unpaid bills by NATO allies.
"There is no ledger that maintains accounts of what countries pay and owe," says former Obama administration National Security Council staffer Aaron O'Connell. "NATO is not like a club with annual membership fees."
NATO members did make a commitment four years ago to spend at least 2 percent of their GDP on defense by 2024. Just nine of the military alliance's 29 members are expected to reach or surpass that target this year.
You can bet that everything else that is claimed to be true is also a straight out lie. These tRump supporters don't bother to access the information that's available at their fingertips and would rather spread inaccurate propaganda to defend their worthless cult leader.
