Any Trump Supporters here?

I really don't understand why it is always "the media". The media has nothing to do with it. Its the stupid, unpolished shit he says (and tweets) that makes him look stupid. The media haven't doctored his words, actions and policies, they have just reported and commented on it.
I think I have to agree with hw597 - the media don't make his speeches, the media don't post his tweets. He seems capable of looking stupid on his own…
A link I saw earlier but haven't properly read yet:

For those who are curious about the Hillary hatred, I think it's important to remember that American sexism is particularly quiet, pervasive, self reinforcing, and has never "been an issue" that the bulk of American society really cares to ACTUALLY think about outside of a college campus, or feminist safe haven. It's always 'not that big of an issue'… except if you look at systematic indicators of sexism. Those consistently show clear, blatant fuckery. So, Hillary is either too weak, or too strong. She may not be aggressive enough (Trump has the right temperament for president, right?) or, she's a frigid ****. She ends up being either the grandma you ignore, or the devil spawn. There isn't a middle ground because Americans don't generally process women outside of their object based reality.
(For the record - I'm a liberal American originally from a conservative community in the midwest.)
I'm a bit neutral to the pro v con Hillary debate - but if you aren't debating policy and you claim that she is an "evil, frigid, fake, vapid, stupid, self absorbed cunt," then you are just being sexist. Anyone who wants to discuss, for example, policy decisions she has made that have disproportionately effected people of color, gays, etc., that's an acceptable discussion.
Fwiw, she is objectively not stupid unless you believe that Yale is actually for stupid people... and that Obama is stupid... and that Bill is stupid... but tbh, that entire post was clearly just a sexist ejaculation, so nit picking probably isn't worth it.
:crazy2:

Wouldn't call myself a supporter, but I'd say I see some positives that others may not. I like that he's for a flat tax and that he doesn't put up with much. (Of course, there is a level of schmoozing that's necessary for a president, but I think he's got the appropriate amount which is why he became a successful billionaire, aside from his father giving him a "small loan of $1,000,000) Won't be voting for him. But won't be voting for Hillary either.

I'm not sure that is very 'positive'
Well, not to be rude, but no shit. I didn't think I'd need to explain that was meant ironically, given the overall tone of my previous post. But yes, I was using the word "positive" ironically. Maybe I should have used more scare quotes. I dunno.
And most of us in the US are just as puzzled as you are.

A friend of mine has shared the idea that while there are many who would deny it, having a woman as president may not be as acceptable an idea for some Americans as some would like to believe- and people may be supporting Trump because of that.
I've followed the campaigns for quite a while and also found it fascinating how he manages to retain a strong following despite all the hateful things he has said and done throughout.
The best and most intimate glimpse I've found into the mindset of a Trump supporter was from this article:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/finally-someone-who-thinks-like-me/2016/10/01/c9b6f334-7f68-11e6-9070-5c4905bf40dc_story.html -
Totally on board the Trump Train.
I'm a Milo altright fag meming Daddy into the White House.

That is sad…but frightening

haha thanks for all the responses guys I knew this would be a "hot topic".
For me I like the campyness of trump lol but i don't think I will ever vote for him. I would not let him park my car at the valet.

Trump has flip-flopped countless times on pretty much eery issue over the last 40 years. He's had 4 mega-bankruptcies, so he's not that good at business. He has tantrums when he doesn't get his way like he did here in Aberdeen with his golf course. He blurts out any kind of madness at the most inappropriate times.
Hillary is a rabid feminazi.

Trump is a dangerously delusional disgrace and any country that has let this idiot get this far in a presidential campaign needs to seriously look at its education system, cos its failed … A friends sister had come over from the states a while back ... She was a lawyer in Washington ... A very bright, beautiful woman ... We went for a walk to get to know one another and the subject of Bush getting in for a second term came up ... She admitted she had voted for him ... I asked her how she could have done that ? ... She said that americans couldn't imagine that their president could lie to them ... I held it in because we were on very different sides of the fence and I liked her although she was obviously totally naive ... But I wanted to scream " What about Watergate, have you no memory ? " Has been dumbed down by its media to the point of idiocy ... And the UK is getting as bad !!! ... If any of you are voting for Trump I urge you to detach yourself from what you have been fed by the media and just look at him ... He's a lunatic

Trump can't fail, he has Farage by his side

Nonono Trump!
If I were an American I'd vote for Jill. http://www.jill2016.com/

Well, to paraphrase someone much smarter than I …
"Donald Trump IS the worst candidate out there. Except for all the others."
So, I guess you would call me a 'faute de mieux' Trump supporter.

How all the gays supporting Trump can look their community in the eyes when he nominates conservative justices to the Supreme Court is beyond me.
As far as the Supreme Court is concerned, there is much at stake in electing Trump.
Secondly, I've seen more media bias towards Clinton than Trump.
Whatever we hear/see about Trump in the media is down to his own words and actions. Whereas Fox News and the Republicans have taken hyperbole and trial by media to the extreme in asserting that Clinton is somehow guilty of crimes over her emails (the FBI didn't arrest her), that she was responsible for Benghazi (when the requests for extra security went to the Pentagon and not to Clinton and there's no evidence she knew of the requests), etc etc.
If the media has slandered anyone during this election, it's Hillary Clinton. She's not perfect, but she's by far the better of the two.
Although part of me would love to see Trump win, because he's entertainment gold, and it would be funny to see America go further into the shitter.

For the chap who likes Trump's Camp… Google Sassy trump... we have a guy over here Peter Serafinowicz (he's the new Tick) funny as...

Until the Democrats quit letting in unscreened an unvetted "refugees" from Islamic countries, letting in numerous people with ties to ISIS, I'd much rather have conservative Christians in power who denigrate me but aren't going to do this to me:

-
Except that you know those refugees would never be able to do anything like that in the US and get away with it. Seriously- all this talk of ISIS refugees is just fear mongering. There hasn't been a single case of anything like that happening in America and probably never will be.
Meanwhile the Supreme Court justices Trump appoints will get right to work taking away all your hard won gay rights- and that's not a far fetched scenario- it will most likely happen with Republicans in control.
-
Before people make wild comments about unvetted refugees and ISIS should we perhaps compare how many US lives were lost in the last decade to US cars and how many to foreign terrorists?
Let's ban unvetted automobiles, especially if it will save the world from 'President' Trump
-
Sounds like we have the London mayor here. He said we have to accept terrorism as part of life and not do anything to prevent it otherwise we'll upset the terrorists.
Why do western countries have to change to suit the immigrants? The US has to change to suit illegals, muslim immigrants, and all manner of non-American people. The same here in Europe, but it's far worse here.
