Fain “is a real ‘STIFF’ who is selling the Automobile Industry right into the big, powerful, hands of China,” Trump wrote Sunday night on Truth Social.

“He bought into Biden’s ‘vision’ of all Electric Vehicles…

    Sadly I don’t think that will change any of their minds. Remember his comments on his “preference” of military folks not to be captured? Still has tons of support from the military population.

      I read that Biden is more popular among active-duty soldiers but Trump is more popular among veterans. Which doesn’t make sense to me. Trump is a draft dodger and they think he’s the most badass President ever. All he did was golf and tweet. What the fuck

        He cheats like a motherfucker at golf too. A decent book called President In Cheat details what an absolute loser he is on the green. His tweets are riddled with typos and nonsense. (My typos are okay because I don’t have a PR team and I’m not a “stable genius”)

        The man is a failure at everything he does except getting away with lying and cheating- and it’s not because he’s a criminal mastermind. Yet so many people worship him. It boggles the mind.

        The possibility that Trump could win is hampering recruiting, to the point that the services are now dropping graduation/GED requirements.

          And by-and-large, only to stay home. You don’t have to vote for Biden, just don’t vote for Trump.

            Ok, math is hard, but lower turn out is the only way Trump wins. So you should vote and not wanting Trump to win means you should vote for Biden. Third party votes are unfortunately a waste and actually help Trump by lowering the hurdle to win a majority in the state.

              Please look at the broader context of my statement here. I’m talking about getting people who were on the fence about Trump but would’ve potentially voted for him to stay home, because they aren’t super happy about him insulting their profession.

              Yes, for people who are reasonable and sensible. But for those who aren’t, then yes, I think they should stay home.
