As they were talking to voters on MSNBC one woman said she likes Trump because he "gets things done". Like what? Killing people, destroying the economy, breaking laws, spending money on himself?

(72,178 posts)What does she think Congress is for? Democracy is rule by consensus, not fiat. She has no input into what goes into Trump's executive orders. In Congress, her representative is, ideally, making their constituents' voices heard.
I guess there was no civics course in Squalor Holler High School...
and extra credit for "Squalor Holler".

(8,876 posts)Back in Trump 1.0, when Taylor was still working for that administration, he had occasion to go to Miller's office to discuss something. Stephen Miller, elected by no one, showed Taylor the huge stack of Executive Orders he had in a desk drawer for Trump to sign when he got 're-elected'. Reckon Stephen Miller was even more pissed than Trump about the 2020 results.
There's a reason Trump always has to reply 'I don't know...' when asked about executive orders, pardons, and most other things he's 'getting done'. Miller and others do all the research on how to get around laws and they do all the writing. Trump just gets to feel important by signing things he never read.
Trump is NOT president. He is a crash test dummy they keep driving into walls.

(7,789 posts)they adore Putin. They'd rather have Putin as president than any Democrat. All Putin and Russia have wanted to do is kill America as any kind of 1st world force. So, they and the magas have what they want. Putin has ensured that by using his asset, Donald J. Trump, and the Magas, themselves, as an idiot asset force, America has become a 3rd world country, no longer important to any other country, other than those who want to smash or blow up anything and everything. Damn them!

(11,111 posts)He just spouts off about what he supposedly did, but it all amounts to nothing.
He is too lazy to do anything other than create PR about his phony agenda.
The people that do not see through his complete nonsense are as dumb as rocks.

(3,818 posts)The redhats repeat that mantra whenever interviewed. When asked specifically what Biden did that hurt them, the only arguments they make are lies. Their main beef with Biden is that he did not continue the cruel practices of Trump ONE at the border.
They are incapable of making cogent arguments to support the POLICIES of Trump. All they can come up with is "He gets things done".

That's enough for some, others ask . . . Show Me!
America is divided.
Some think he is the Cult Leader whose thinking and actions are beyond understanding and criticism.
Others think he is an Apprentice POTUS who is slowly climbing up the learning curve.
And others think he is just batshit crazy, power hungry, and out to destroy everything.

To some people, thinking is an archaic inconvenience, like washing your clothes on a rock in a stream.

(4,553 posts)"What has he gotten done that you like?"
That's a fair question for any voter, but for this voter in particular, we'd probably see her drool with her eyes glazed over while trying to figure out how she got into this mess.
