You're right, he suggested that consuming disinfectant might be good for COVID. Totally irresponsible and off the wall. Given the tremendous influence he had with his base, he had a responsibility to be judicious when he spoke. But that was never his style.

I don't let Trump off the hook for his so-called locker room talk. I'm not a "believe all women" person, because everybody lies, that's a fact. But I've looked into the claims and I believe some of those women. We'll have to agree to disagree. I agree that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing and the left wing media lost its credibility by deciding to go full bore on anti-Trump propaganda 24/7. RussiaGate was a hoax, but most Dems still assume it was true. Some things will never change. Good Old Hillary funded it and got caught, but the Dems haven't noticed.

Trump is a controversial figure. He has some excellent qualities and some bizarre ones. He and I are from the same county in New York and are almost the same age, so I grew up with him frequently in the spotlight. His reputation preceded him and a lot of it was sleazy and corrupt. Still, I have friends of all racial, ethnic and class backgrounds who voted for him. That means something. But his lack of discipline, his narcissism and his inability to play well with others worked against him in the long run. That's how I see it. I respect people who disagree, but that's a road I can't go down. Will I vote for a Democrat again for president? No, not as long as they're captured by woke ideology, which seems to be a given. I hope there's somebody other than Trump to vote for. That's all I have to say, thanks for responding.

He never said consume either. That is just implying he said drink and he never said such a thing. He was asking questions. The topic of the day was how good disinfectans were working to kill covid. One of the things he suggested is something that has been done for decades. Blood irradiation therapy. His base aren't the ones that took anything he said as literal or as suggestions. That was the media and his haters.

Which story do you believe? The one that nobody has ever seen except for a fuy that either is an ex Jerry Springer producer or is a guy pretending to be him and who lied in her initial lawsuit? The one who actually dated him after the supposed incident and asked him for a job when he was elected? The "grab em by the pussy" comment was him saying women let him do it. To a man in a private conversation wjth whom he was joking around with. It was the equivalent of locker room talk.

I'm glad you seen the Russiagate as a hoax. Too many people still believe it, sadly.

His lack of discipline is why most people like him. Haha. He wasn't the same old politician. I totally understand people not liking this quality in him though. He is definitely an acquired taste. 😂

I was a Trump voter and a supporter (only at the end of 2015. I hated him prior to that because I believed everything that was said on CNN) I also wouldn't vote for him again. (Unless there was no better option) My reasoning is because of his age though. It is clear that he, like Biden, isn't as quick as he once was. (Mentally)
