Chin for a Day Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I don't support Trump but I'll say at least with Trump we know exactly who we're getting I can't believe that I am typing this out loud, but I agree with this statement. I will also preface this with in no way, shape or form do I endorse Trump for president. However, he does say it like it is, you do understand what you are getting and he does point out some very valid issues that are plaguing Americans today. The really, really scary part is that alot of people are listening to the fact that he is saying like it is, but they are missing the fact that he has no experience and no plan on how to fix the issues.

Clean Cut Asshole Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Yeah, I think it's kinda interesting when musicians or whoever endorse somebody for president. It doesn't effect my voting though, I already supported Sanders anyway. I can't believe that I am typing this out loud, but I agree with this statement. I will also preface this with in no way, shape or form do I endorse Trump for president.

The really, really scary part is that alot of people are listening to the fact that he is saying like it is, but they are missing the fact that he has no experience and no plan on how to fix the issues. I agree. Although I don't agree with a lot of Trump's views and don't want him for president, I do admire the fact that he just comes out and says stuff and doesn't try to put on some image. He makes himself look like an asshole, but at least he's got balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump 'says it like it is' just because it is something that is plaguing the Americans. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he strongly believes in what he says, I 'm just assuming that he is too incompetent to take into account the other factors that play a part when it comes to decision making on a national and international level.

He is,not competent and the problem is that many people cannot see past the fact that he is staying issues that Americans feel, but he doesn't have any idea how to fix them. They are only partially listening to what he is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you actually read what I wrote I called Trump a turd in a wig who is hateful and indicated he had a dodgy past and is psycho...at no point did I say anything remotely suggesting he "says it like it is"...simply he lets the world see what a prick he is. The fact that he is still the Republican frontrunner says a lot about the GOP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he says it like it is or anything of the sort, all I said was I admire that he doesn't try to put on an image and speaks what he believes and doesn't care if it pisses people off (BTW, I don't agree with most of what he says). Most politicians this early on try to make a good impression, whereas he doesn't give a shit, so it's kind of like a breath of fresh air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 He doesn't really say it like it is either. He's flip-flopped on nearly every major issue in the past 10 years. But that doesn't fit the media's narrative of "Rebel Trump, shooting from the hip to take down the GOP". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z J Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Billie's name alone won't do much, but it is notable because he can be added to a list of celebrities. One alone may not mean too much but you better believe a large list of celebrities who are outspoken on social media can make an impact on voter opinions/awareness. Every artist can hold the attention of people who are not currently a part of the political process and their new awareness spreads, because they tell their friends and so on.

Hermione Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Loudly shouting bullshit isn't "telling it like it is". He's just saying whatever certain groups want to hear, like Ceadagh said he's contradicted himself on all kinds of issues. Being too stupid and arrogant to talk about issues in any kind of nuanced way or to have any tact doesn't mean he's being honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example blaming immigrants for all problems isn't telling it like it is, it's just playing on the fears of people who'd like to believe it's true.

I don't think we know what he'd actually do if he was elected any better than other candidates though, which is what his supporters seem to believe.

It's OK to be blatantly misogynistic, racist and horrible because you are "being honest"?! You also don't know just how "awful" Trump could be if America was dumb enough to elect him President. You think he's being totally honest because he's a shithead? You may be in for the biggest suprise of all. Hitler may have been a bit of a shithead too but nobody saw THAT coming I have no idea how it can be ok to justify what he is saying about Mexicans etc. The world is basically laughing at the GOP but if he was elected president? What a disgraceful representation of America.As for what you said about Sanders being "too good to be true"...it's sad that you feel this way. There are wonderful people in the world who genuinely dedicate their lives to the service of others and their country as opposed to the accumulation of wealth and power (Trump). If someone lives to 74 and the only "shady" thing in their past (and believe me people would have done their digging!!) is to have been charged for resisting arrest during a demonstration against segregation in Chicago's public schools in 1963. Of course for 99% of the world these days his sit ins and protests of the 60's to bring equality to all would be seen as brave and positive not "shady". I'm not saying you have to like Sanders...but saying he must be aweful too or too good to be true just because he isn't a deliberate racist, misogynist like Trump is beyond dumb logic.
