On another thread that got shutdown, you asked me a question. I don't know if you were able to see my response before the thread disappeared so I will post it again. Either way, I hope you are having a great day.

Your response was:
"My real question... WHY are you a Trump supporter?

* He is now a convicted criminal. - With more legal woes coming his way.

* He failed to build the wall. - It got downgraded to a fence in places.

* He failed to get Mexico to pay for any part of the wall that got built, which he promised.

* He has constantly lied. I.E. Hillary should be "locked up" and then recently he stated he never said it in an interview.

* He tried to mount an insurrection and is now going to court over it with a verdict yet to be finalized.

* Trump has promoted Nazism by proclaiming a fourth Reich.

* Trumps father was part of the KKK white supremacists. Extreme racism. - This is Trumps role model.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2023/04/04/fred-trump-arrests/

* Trump has a long list of insults towards other people, organizations and entities... Yet will whinge like a child when the favor is returned and make statements like "No one has ever been treated the way I have!" - He literally treats others like it... That is a text-book narcissistic personality trait.

Always treat others the way you wish to be treated.

So inquisitively, I ask you this... Why would you support this bottom feeder? The guy literally belongs in jail.

I can't even think of a single positive thing he has actually managed to accomplish for the USA during his presidency... Most of the planet outside of the USA thought he was a brilliant clown-act that just kept on giving"

---------------------

So here is my answer to your question.

Thanks for the sources!

I’ll try to be quick and concise with my answers because I’ve been and still am very busy with applying to medical school, school, finding jobs, dating, finances, etc. Thank you for being patient with me. (new edit: I've also been busy with family reunions).

I think the simplest reason why I will be voting for Trump is because I have received revelation that I need to vote for him.

Yep, Trump is a legal criminal as of right now.

He was able to get access to at least build something on the border.

Ok. Everyone knew that wouldn’t be possible. Do you bill your neighbor when you build the fence between the two of you? (Rhetorical)

Ok. Did he try to lock her up? No.

About the "insurrection", Jan 6th. Trump posted these on Twitter.

Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!  Retweets: 0 Favorites: 0

Ok. To me he was not promoting that, given that the quote used was a wiki quote about Prussia turning into Germany pre-WWI. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/after-backlash-trump-pulls-social-media-post-with-reference-unified-reich-2024-05-21/

Ok. Reading the article you provided, I see that it says that no one knows why Fred Trump was here. I do see that he was not charged of any crime.

Ok. He has definitely emboldened himself and makes things seem bigger than they ever were. He has insulted people who have belittled him, and insulted those who haven’t belittled him. Do I expect him to be perfect, no. Perfection in human interaction and character does not exist naturally in this world.

I do agree that we need to treat others how we want to be treated.

I will go back to what I said at the beginning of this post and to the beginning of this thread.

I have received revelation that I need to vote for him. I have received it because I have pondered over his political platform, his values he has now, and what he has, is and will give up to fight for what he believes in. After my pondering, I question and wait. And received the answer.

And that’s ok if you haven’t. I have. I noticed that we didn’t have any new wars that seem to never end. I noticed that I didn’t have to worry about my purchases on how expensive something was. I have seen that a lot of people around the world look back and wish for him to be the President again. I also see others who don’t want him, and that is okay, it is impossible to please everyone.

I do appreciate your questions and concerns. It is very important to communicate, even with those we might not understand or agree with. Without communication, people fester in their own personal/group and can become irrational.

Hmm, should I make a new thread for Trump vs Kamala vs RFK Jr vs Stein vs West vs Oliver with their political platforms? Also President Biden dropping out of the 2024 presidential race was a surprise to me, he seemed so sure he wasn’t gonna drop out. I didn’t like what and how the news and other democratic leaders were pressuring him. It felt like a complete 180° from what they were doing.

Anyways, I hope this answered your question. If it didn’t, I will do my best to answer any more doubts, concerns, questions etc you have. You have some great thorough work and I appreciate it. :)
