Three things that make Donald Trump an honest President

[PaulConventionWV]

Word games? What has DJT done that makes you believe he's an honest president? You claim that that the OP is speculative based on past behavior. What past behavior does he include? For an "adult who understands context", you are missing the point.

I never said he's an honest president. I said you said he was wrong. He asked you to tell how he was wrong. You have not done so. I'm not going to interpret his post for you when you apparently tried to take on that task yourself by saying "let's start with he's not president." Tell us what you mean, don't make other people interpret it so you can just glibly nit-pick at stuff that other people bring up.

My apologies. I thought my initial comment was self-evident. The OP makes a statement based on claims that have not come to pass. It is impossible to state he is an "honest president" because he has done nothing to demonstrate that. It is impossible to state he is a "dishonest president", or an "effective president", or any other claims about his presidency. He has done nothing as president. RPF is rampant with "speculation" that make claims as "facts". "3-D Chess", etc.
In regards to "making other people interpret" MY comments, why not ask the same of the OP? You seem willing to fill in the blanks for him...

Is he an honest president? Is he a dishonest president?

I believe your blanks to be larger, and your meaning more obscured since you apparently think the one sentence you posted was sufficient for us to be able to automatically figure out what line of reasoning you were engaging in.

Stop with this honest/dishonest simpleton shit. This thread is a waste of space.

So far, everyone who has bet on Trump succeeding has won yuuuuuge.

And everyone who bet against him is in some stage of mental breakdown right now, including the entirely self-interested barbarian wretches who masquerade as liberty activists.

If I were sent back in time and given the choice to either raise my sword and fight for Rome or for the barbarians...

without a doubt Roman heads would roll.

He was a good politician. Do anything, say anything to win. That's what the opponent is going to do. Fight fire with buttercups? No. Fight fire with fire.

He did that and guess what, he won.

We don't know yet what he'll do as President or whether or not he will be honest.

But I like what I've seen so far.

Case in Point

I don't see how any of the 3 makes him an honest president. In fact it's pretty easy to, by doing your own research, find him taking multiple stances on every issue from when the campaign started until now. I don't know what you want to call that, but here in reality, we sure the fuck don't call it honest.

People who talk about honesty are usually full of shit.

Were JFK and Hoover honest?

Also, the president's salary is pocket change compared to how much Trump can affect his wealth and the wealth of his children through policy. People who think that he has no financial incentive to be president are ignoring the big picture.

Term limits is one of those things where Ron Paul supported it, but never saw it as a major issue I think. I don't see how supporting them tells us anything about Trump's honesty. Personally, I see positives and negatives to them. Term limits make all representatives and senators lame ducks who don't have to worry about voters any more, and just have to worry about getting cushy lobbyist jobs once their terms are up.

I don't even see why, as late as November of this year, anybody would still be trying to make a case for Trump being honest, after he's given us all such abundant proof that he's anything but that.
