Regarding the first part, his term ended in 2016. Regarding the second, Are you talking about this guy:

If I'm going for a candidate that is a representative of "the interests of the entire country", I'm going to go for the "all lives matter" over "[insert favorite race, sex or creed here] lives matter candidate.

That one is really a no brainer.

But opinions vary.

The first is truly delusional, the second a deflection from the core grievance.

I am willing to take Wang's word that he's not a 'programned' follower bonded to Trump. Some are, some aren't. Was reading an analysis that says for many Trump supporters, it transactional. They are for Trump because he delivers policy they like. It may be appointing anti-abortion judges, or being tough (or purposefully cruel) to immigrants, or tax cuts (big donors taken care of), or anti-black/pro-police stuff. Point is, if he delivers on your hot button, that's more important to you than Trump's vulgarity, dishonesty, and criminality. Indeed, you may see vice as a virtue if it gets you the thing you want. Trump's goal is to get a big enough coalition of people who accept his faults as necessary evils but want to keep getting what he gives them.

And then there are people who are paid money to support him. That's transactional too.

I like how you just slipped that "anti-black" canard in there, thinking nobody would notice.

Baloney. He's actually done more for Blacks than Obama did.

Etc.

Calling Trump racist is comical.

I wondered the same thing on this forum and some members seemed to be upset by it.

tRump for another photo op. When Bunker Boy couldn't get the owner of the burned building to play along with his photo-op he found a stand-in. I guess it's much easier using an inanimate object (a bible) to cooperate.

"I said no, thank you," Paul Willette told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Willette is co-owner of Rode's Camera Shop, which opened more than 100 years ago before being destroyed in a fire caused by rioters. "I didn't want anything to do with President Trump."

"If it were any other president I would, but not this one.

I'm missing your point. The store owner and the building owner both suffered loss. One is a trump man and the other is not. So? That's the great thing about america. We can agree to disagree and carry on with our lives - unless BLM and antifa get their way:

During a summit between tRump and KJU in 2018 Kim Jong Un apparently winked at Sarah "Gaslight" Sanders. From Sander's memoir due to be released soon. Donny, ever the smooth operator.

tRump: "Kim Jong Un hit on you!" Trump said, according to Sanders. "He did! He f---ing hit on you!"

Sanders replied, "Sir, please stop."

"Well, Sarah, that settles it. You're going to North Korea and taking one for the team!" Trump told her, Sanders said. "Your husband and kids will miss you, but you'll be a hero to your country!" MAGA!
