Should these recent events disqualify him?
1. He took classified documents and stored them in unlocked rooms.
2. He had dinner with two known antisemitic men.
3. He is now talking about suspending the Constitution.

Should he disqualify himself? In 2020 he said Biden was too old to become President. If Trump is reelected in 2024, he will be five months older than the age Biden was in 2020.

I would vote for him again... IF he is the nominee.
I don't think he will be, so I'll worry about it when the time comes.

All of the talking points listed are bent to the left, which is a pathetic attempt at clicks.

Thx for your question. I do not know of a single politician, much less a single human being, that does not have skeletons in his closet. If then I believe this and then choose someone as if I am more worthy, I speak from a point of judgement. I too then will be judged. Therefore, I cannot choose anyone from a moral point of view. Instead, I must decide from a policy point of view.

Trump has made countless mistakes, and there are many things personally that irritate me about his behavior and his character. If I were to base my sole decision upon those attributes, I might vote for someone else. He has accomplished a great deal for the citizens of this country. His policies---not all of them---worked! I enjoyed better VA benefits, lower taxes, border protection, lower food costs, lower gas prices, the non-weaponization of our law enforcement and even our soldiers (I felt safer and freer).

There are no perfect candidates, and the greatest benefit we as a country experience is the freedom to think and choose as individuals. Group-think is a great tragedy: A soldier in once-Communist Romania was thrown into prison for his misdeeds alongside a pastor incarcerated for his faith. Naturally the pastor asked the soldier if he was a believer. But when the soldier replied, tears welled up in the pastor's eyes---the soldier saying, "I will believe if I have orders to believe." That is perhaps the saddest thing I have ever heard in my life---a man who was no longer able to think for himself.

I respect any man's choices if they are his, even if I may not agree with them; but a man who cannot make a choice of his own free will, is already dead in his soul.

I particularly like your comment about being judged because you have a judgment, because I have seen that far too often on this forum. I have said many of the same things about Trump that you did; however, I do take exception with “…non-weaponization of our law enforcement….” Both law enforcement and the military were called upon to forcefully disperse peaceful protestors during 2020.

Thank you for your response.

I've never heard Trump being referred to as "pervert in chief." That's whom you referred to, isn't it? Isn't that how you would describe someone who boasts that he grabs women "by the p---y"?

1. POTUS is the Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. and can classify or declassify documents. He is considered a classification authority. He didn't take anything he was not authorized to.
2. How many dinners have YOU had with someone who had opposing views?
3. Could you please link where Trump said that? I know that Trump made a sarcastic remark on Twitter, and the liberals ran with it crying, "See? Trump hates the Constitution!" I know that Executive Order 13603 was signed by 0bama which can "suspend the Constitution" in times of a national crisis.

The answer to your question for me would be, "No."

1. a 2020 United States Court of Appeals decision (https://cases.justia.com/federal/appellate-courts/ca2/18-2112/18-2112-2020-07-09.pdf?ts= [login to see] ; page 29, line 7) states “Because declassification, even by the President, must follow established procedures….”
2. I am not running for political office where perception is everything.
3. He posted it on Truth Social, not Twitter: "So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great ‘Founders’ did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

3b. Executive Order 13603 does not suspend the Constitution; it covers National Defense Resources Preparedness by delegating authority and addressing national defense resource policies and programs. Congresswoman Kay Granger (R-TX) wrote the inaccurate statement you referred to.

SFC Kathy Pepper - Have you actually READ EO 13603? If you can read that and still say that it doesn't suspend the Constitution in times of crisis, then you and I are reading different versions. It was under 0bama the EO was signed.
1. This ruling cannot be retroactive as it was made in 2020. According to the Constitution, You cannot rule on or make an ex-post facto law and then prosecute those before it. Thank God, because chances are, you and I are in violation of one or more Federal rulings right now. Where was the scrutiny with 0bama? How about Bill Clinton? Biden? And yes, what about Dubya?
2. I never heard him say that. Although I'm sure he did, liberals hang on every word and scrutinize every word that proceedeth from the mouth of Trump.
3. I remember that comment and once again, the liberals ran with it like a fumbled footbal to the goal line shouting, "SEE? There it is!! He wants to be a dictator!! He is just like Hitler!" Trump was merely stating a fact. "What do you do?" Do you declare an emergency and suspend the Constitution? Do you have another election? The Founders never considered a voting fraud of this maginitude.
4. The reason you hear what you want is you are so critical of Trump, that you hang on every word. Let me give you another example of hanging on Trump's every word. This was from my younger sister:
What was claimed: "Trump said he wants to take away food benefits for migrant children!"

What Trump REALLY said: "Those overstaying their Visas should have to give up their benefits until they renew..."

One more: "Trump has blood on his hands. He told people to drink bleach to cure Covid."
What he REALLY said: (To Dr. Birx and Fauci): "So we know disinfectant kills the virus? I'm not a doctor, but wouldn't it be cool if you could like, breathe in a type of disinfectant..."

The Magical Mystical Phil's Words of Wisdom:

Be VERY careful what you listen to and read. I posted a video of Nancy Pelosi saying something that was completely AI generated. I thought it was real. It LOOKED real. She never said it. I investigated. I now have a program with Trumps face and through AI, I can make him say ANYTHING I want. Once again, be VERY careful. Especially on Social Media.

All Respondents, This Thread I got to ask a follow-up question
MAJ Ken Landgren and I have been doing something I still don't get. He is trying to justify Biden's sickly performance by pointing out how Trump is worse. Are He and I, like some of you, stuck in the loop? My New question is this... "Out of 334 million people in the United States, You mean that these two Jackasses are the best we have to offer? Trump or Biden? Freaking Really?"
Have we, the American Society degenerated so far that we are willing to accept the mediocre so long as "My Side" stays in power?

MAJ Ken Landgren - But sir is Biden the best option?
Don't we owe our troops better?
Major Ken, Don't you as an Officer, owe more to my son, who is 5th Generation to serve, more?
Major Landgren, put the politics aside, WE, WE, you and I as LEADERS owe men and women like my son, a PFC, more. We owe him... He took my place on that wall and he took your place on that wall. My son is on the wall. I fear that Mr Biden will not be a good steward of my son's life.
Major, my family has placed out lives on that wall, on that watch post for 5 generations. How much more can we give? And the Democrats appreciate none of it.
I am neither Democrat Nor Republican, I am a Soldier. I hate liberals and Activists. They have NO allegiance to America. My country, right or wrong, I am an American, I defend our way of life.

And what about the awful Afgahn withdrawal, where 13 of our uniformed marines/navy personnel were bombed & slaughtered, when we had a sniper ready to take the known enemy out. There is no excuse for that, other than utter HATRED FOR OUR OWN MILITARY MEMBERS, & their families, that were anxiously waiting for their return home!!!
DAMNED ALL OF YOU, I sure as hell would not want to be in a foxhole with any of YOU!
And to add insult to injury, WE THE PEOPLE LEFT OUR ENEMIES have OUR 87 BILLIONS $ of
new & advanced military equipment behind, How can anyone with a Brain say anything nice about the TREASON ACT OF BIDEN ASS!

I am not out to make this another place that people can slam each other over who they feel is ideal.
However to address some of your concerns:
1. He took classified documents and stored them in unlocked rooms.
I am not sure if you have the unlocked rooms totally right, but they certainly were not in locked file cabinets that they should have been. His overall thought process on Classified, Sensitive and Official Documents makes one wonder if he even understands why documents are labeled at certain levels. If any one left the military did the same thing they would be recalled to Active Duty to face court martial and be serving jail time. So on that point alone, I feel he is not fit for serving in any office ever again.

2. He had dinner with two known anti-Semitic men.
This alone is only being shared in the news to create more news for him. Their has been many current and former elected officials that have had meetings with people that would be very questionable. Does that in itself disqualify them from serving in office? No I would say as unless you can connect this meeting to some type of promise or deal then it merely was just a meeting.

3. He is now talking about suspending the Constitution.
This one certainly is a disqualification for anyone that makes even comments to get rid of the Constitution. This document is the only thing keeping this nation from having a monarchy or being overthrown by some group.

I always tell people to vote to the person based on their beliefs and values and do not make a choice based on what your family, neighbors or friends tell you to do.

We are still a free nation and we still have the right to vote.

MEANWHILE BIDENS ASS HAS MANY CLASIFIED SECRET DOCUMENTS INSIDE THE PENNE/CHINESE CENTER IN PA & HIS OWN GARAGE SO THAT HUNTER COULD USE THEM WHEN HE NEEDED TO FOR USE WITH CHINESE SPYS, I suppose! The latest news came out today with JOHN DURHAM SAYING THAT THE RUSSIA HOAX CLINTON GATE BUNCH OF GARBAGE IS & WAS JUST THAT. The FBI knew that from the get-go, that these charges against DJTRUMP was & IS A FRAUDULENT SMEAR AGAINST THE AMERICAN PEOPLE< THE F B I FRECEIVES ALL OF ITS FUNDING FROM US TAXPAYERS< & 40 MILLION OF OUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS WAS SQUANDERED BY THESE BUNCH OF CRIMINALS IS DISGUSTING TO ME. To develope a criminal investigation into several of the TRUMP white house without even a shred of compelling evidence is beyond defending so pls shut the hell up. THey were forced to lie to a VISA COURT JUDGE IN ORDER TO PULL THIS SHIT OFF< I AM SO ANGRY RIGHT NOW< I could !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE BS FROM ANY ONE< SO BUZZ OFF MF!

I am so late to this party....Well coming from a devil dog who once idolized Trump. I used to travel the 6 miles walk from Whitehall to Fifth Avenue at least once a week. That tells you I am from across the river (Shaolin).
A few things have turned me away from Trump.
1. America is not first to him..
2. He started the build the wall campaign which started the influx of the migrant crisis south of our border.
3. He got the intel on the Covid19 novel virus; he did nothing to stop the spread until 1 million deaths later.
4. He made a deal with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Israel but left out HAMAS a deal called the Abraham Peace Accord. What we have today in the Middle East is a war between Israel and HAMAS. One can not broker peace between non-enemies and leave out the real enemies.
5. He broker a deal with the Taliban and left out the Democratically elected Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, and refused to do a proper turn over before he left office. What we have is the Taliban in control of Afghanistan.
6. As commander in chief he lied that a sleepy old man stole the election from him and allow a coup d'etat to usurp power.
7. Trump simply lacks wisdom for a commander in chief and president of America.

To put it simply, I do not trust Trump who kisses up to Putin, Kim Jong Un, and other dictators. There was a time when soldiers recognized that these authoritarians are inherently evil to our great country. Our job was and still is to protect our great nation from want to be kings. I still believe in the American principal of all men/women are created equal, and I bow down to no man, only to God.
