No. they all end up in court for one reason or another.
Trump once said, “when I declare bankruptcy I make a profit, andI am proud of it”.
Of course he didn’t know that he was admitting to fraud. There is your businessman.
Have you counted how many handpicked people who worked forTrump are now convicted felons?
There is a term for that “Might makes Right”.
But it is not a lesson in morality.
Economic aid what a joke.
Misdirection again. Respond in the proper thread please.
I’m just a scientist. I endure uncertainty, and try to solve non-scientific problems empirically. I expected answers like the ones displayed above because most of the people I’ve known need certainty, and grasp the form of certainty with which they are comfortable. I don’t begrudge them their faith. But I am suspicious of their agendas, and wary of their need to “save” me. I have some awareness of how little we know about the physiological bases for human behavior. And I refuse to accept pat models that define what human behavior must be without critically examining society’s ability to reach their goal. Self-righteousness is the ultimate philosophical cowardance. Is Joe Biden an ideologue? He is every time he utters a statement of ethical certainty.
It depends on your interpretation of the Constitution. The president does not make legal decisions. The Constitution does.
As soon as the president makes decisions outside the scope of the Constitution, he/she becomes a dictator. Biden follows the Constitution. Trump wants to install a Dictatorship outside of the Constitution.
This is what some State Governors are now beginning do, on urging by Trump.
They are breaking the Constitutional rule of the Establishment Clause and installing State theocracies.
If that is the case. Then you don’t know enough about the subject to debate. It is not my desire to debate your personal viewpoints based upon false ideas. The facts are, Trump has and is a successful business person.
OK, I’ll bite. We used to have meanings of words that we could communicate with. Now, it seems that the meanings are just a political ploy. It is going on right now in the House as they try and nail down the departments involvement in the lab created Covid-19. Example, we had Global Warming and Climate Change. Each had a meaning. That has been changed to mean weather for political funding reasons.
Point being. Give me your definition as a scientist what the word “ideologue” means and how you apply it to Joe.
Ideologue - An ideologue will insist they’re right even when evidence suggests they might be wrong.
If that is your view. Then we are on the same page. But when that becomes a common factor of a person. Then he is just a plain liar.
Your comments are in line with college formed statements. I am not a wordsmith. Just a retired working man. The media in my life has mostly been newspapers. The standard for newspapers is fifth grade mid-west speech.
I have never used the word ideologue in life. When it comes to Joe. I will tell you he is a liar. For proof, review his statements that there is no problem at the border. And all his problem of failure were caused by Trump. That to me is a hell of a lot more than ideologue.
I feel Joe is driven by power and greed and the malice it causes the people are of no concern.
Trump’s claimed business losses were so large — $1.17 billion from 1985 to 1994 — that they allowed him to avoid paying any income taxes in 10 of the 15 years prior to his winning the presidency in 2016.
Very clever!
don’t know how Truth Social got to be worth so much, but if you had given me a billion dollars in the 80’s I think I could manage to live pretty well off of that. And I’d pay my contractors. And by “given”, I mean given. Read the history of how he got the family wealth.
Malice? Greed? It’s a spectacular ability NOT to see the key features of your own candidate and instead project them onto his opponent. Truly mind boggling. Critical thinking at its best.
The Constitution is our law. It defines justice. Presidents have to make decisions about fairness. That is an ethical issue. It cannot avoid a responsibility to define what means to be civilized. I taught science ethics. I could not avoid a responsibility to define what it means to be a scientist. Fairness is not an objective subject. Accordingly, there is no expectation that whatever a scientist decides is ethical can be confirmed by some ultimate truth. I do the best I can to define what an ethical scientist is. My definition focuses on the integrity of a scientist’s data. Other ethicists think that is too narrow. Applying my approach to politics is problematic. Data for a politician is often subjective. Such subjectivity allows the entrance of ideology into the definition of data. When ideology enters, I leave the discussion. But I must watch it, because it will probably lead to policies that affect my well being. At some point I must decide, subjectively, which policies to vote for and which candidates I can trust to carry them out. I do not feel comfortable claiming I know what is best for humankind. I do feel a responsibility to offer my opinion about what is best for science. But I cannot claim it as any kind of ultimate truth.
Wrong! We had “Global warming,” but some people were so incredibly stupid as to not understand how “global” implies an average over the planet. They pointed gleefully at places that were not warming.
So, to appease these people, the term, “Climate change” emerged. Then, these same people said, “So, now you no longer say global warming but instead say climate change. Wull, which is it smarty pants?”
The fact is Trump is a con-man. Read his biography.
From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, **and over 100 business tax disputes.
How many lies has Trump told the nation?
During and after his term as President of the United States, Donald Trump made tens of thousands of false or misleading claims. The Washington Post’s fact-checkers documented 30,573 false or misleading claims during his presidential term, an average of about 21 per day.[1][5][6][7] The Toronto Star tallied 5,276 false claims from January 2017 to June 2019, an average of 6 per day.2
Do you consider swindling people doing “good business”.
That makes you a “mark” for people like Trump

A president who suggested ingesting bleach to combat COVID. did cost a few hundred thousand lives.
It was wild in the moment. In time, it came to symbolize the chaotic nature of the presidency and the early Covid fight.
One year ago today, President Donald Trump took to the White House briefing room and encouraged his top health officials to study the injection of bleach into the human body as a means of fighting Covid. It was a watershed moment, soon to become iconic in the annals of presidential briefings. It arguably changed the course of political history.
Some ex-Trump aides say they don’t even think about that day as the wildest they experienced — with the conceit that there were simply too many others. But for those there, it was instantly shocking, even by Trump standards. It quickly came to symbolize the chaotic essence of his presidency and his handling of the pandemic. Twelve months later, with the pandemic still lingering and a U.S. death toll nearing 570,000, it still does.

And you have a candidate losing to this biggest loser
That’s what they thought the first time around.
Biden beat Trump handily.
What you don’t seem to understand is that there are many more Democrats than Republicans.
That is why Trump is trying to restrict voting rights for minorities
You should be focusing that critical eye on Trump instead on Biden
You are dealing with a clinical psychopath.

In 2017, a group of mental health professionals gathered at a “duty to warn” conference and then published their informed opinions in the book, The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, contending that he was unfit to be president (Lee, 2017).
In the book, they illustrated their professional perceptions of Donald Trump (DT) with his statements and actions known to that point. (See also the 2020 film, Unfit, for more discussions of the psychology of DT by clinicians.)
Many of the mental health professionals drew a connection between DT’s behavior and extreme or pathological narcissism (narcissistic personality disorder) which entails entitlement, exploitation, and empathy impairment, along with the typical characteristics of narcissism:
Believing you are superior to others
Fantasizing about success
Exaggerating talents and achievements
Expecting constant admiration and praise
Believing you are special and acting that way
Failing to recognize others’ feelings
Expecting others to do what you want
Taking advantage of others
Expressing disdain for the “inferior”
Jealousy of others
Easily hurt and rejected
Having a fragile self-esteem
Appearing tough and unemotional
Setting unrealistic goals
Unable to keep healthy relationships
Craig Malkin, Ph.D., pointed out that pathological narcissism can spiral into a psychotic spiral of paranoia, impaired and volatile decision making, and gaslighting.
No he didnt . He just won and at this same time in 2020 biden was 9 points up. That far from what the polls say today
“What you don’t seem to understand is that there are many more Democrats than Republicans.”
The majority of the democrats base has said they want someone else - not biden
