Does TFG love this country? He never said so. I posted a challenge to my tRump loving FB friends.

"This is for everyone who says Donald Trump loves his country. I've searched for anything coming from his mouth that says something good about America. I've read transcripts of dozens of his "speeches" at his rallies. I read his remarks when he announced he was running for President. I read his inauguration speech, where "American carnage" was his central theme. I have not found any utterance in any of that telling us what is good about the USA or why he loves this country. I have found a shitload of statements about what is wrong with this country, so many you'd think he hates it. Oh, I know he always promised to "Make America Great Again" but he never once said America is great now in any way, or really ever was. So, please. I'm asking for anyone who thinks he loves this country- show me. I promise now I will donate $50 to that great Donald Trump defense fund that he has never used for his legal defense or to his campaign for President that he will hint at but never actually run for if you can show me any time he ever said what he thinks makes America great or why he loves this country. It's your choice which one you want to waste money on. Showing a video of him dry humping the flag doesn't count."

So far... nothing.

Has anyone here ever heard TFG say something good about America?

5. Saw a t-shirt with "Nothing wrong with loving America" emblazoned over an American Flag.

Almost walked up to the guy and told him "nothing wrong with loving Americans, too."

Trump's followers say they love America, but they hate most Americans. I guess that's what all those "blood and soil" placards are about.

6. Trump and his followers think of America is a piece of real estate to be exploited.

The fact that America is an idea that has lasted 240 years and that all of our people have to participate to make that work, completely escapes their little minds

3. Come to think of it, I don't remember him saying "America is Great NOW!"
