She was defending Trump’s ‘‘work ethic’ because she had specifically been asked about the Axios Report (which I quoted above) which looked at how Trump spent his days in the WH (also quoted above).
Well we can all agree that she is a stand up trustworthy woman, and if she says Trump works hard, that's good enough for me.

It was still a great piece
Sarcasm? I honestly find it difficult to tell I’m afraid!
- I wasn’t defending Saunders in any way.

Thanks - I thought he was but as I said, I find sarcasm hard to translate - I just wasn’t sure if my post about Saunders defending Trump had been misunderstood as me defending her because I thought the sarcasm was directed at me rather than laughing with me - the trials and tribulations of a neurodivergent brainNeither was @Triggaaar .

Me too
Me too (neurodivergent). Misunderstandings are a daily occurrence. Luckily on an anonymous forum one can assume the best without fear of actual jeopardy if you have misunderstood and reacted. One can apologise (also easy on an anonymous forum) and move on, whistling surreptitiously and hoping nobody has noticed. Ahem.Thanks - I thought he was but as I said, I find sarcasm hard to translate - I just wasn’t sure if my post about Saunders defending Trump had been misunderstood as me defending her because I thought the sarcasm was directed at me rather than laughing with me - the trials and tribulations of a neurodivergent brain

Out of how many start ups and what do you define as bankruptcies? I can think of 2 successes of the top of my head, The Apprentice TV series or was it 12 seasons? Also his Golf courses. I know his Trump university came a cropper but his truth social has potential which is what it was sold on.

Sorry to be a little pedantic but you're continually misspelling Sanders. That's very TrumpistThanks - I thought he was but as I said, I find sarcasm hard to translate - I just wasn’t sure if my post about Saunders defending Trump had been misunderstood as me defending her because I thought the sarcasm was directed at me rather than laughing with me - the trials and tribulations of a neurodivergent brain

First AC or Tony Blairs spin doctor, you don't get to change definitions just to suit your political agenda. I looked it up and its mercifully short(Below).
Populism just means uniting the people against corruption, solutions to this problem are different from left to right but that is standard. You think letting 7 million plus people in in 3 years worth 14 extra congressional seats when redistricting is done is not corruption? How crap are your politics that you need to import voters illegal and otherwise to top up your voter base? The media isn't reporting it and that is also corruption. When you elect politicians to do A but they do the opposite that's corruption. And irony alert, when you you try to change the definition of words to suit your purpose thats corruption.
Trump is trying to unite the people against the establishment, when he left Fulton Jail he drove through poor/black areas and was well received, that's one of the ways he reaches out to different groups. He us not playing the divide and rule tactic of "White men evil".
As for the article you quoted "Sample of one" and Hmmmmmmmmm.

That’s ok - at least I can spell ‘Buonanotte’ which seems to be a stumbling block for 50% of NSC postersSorry to be a little pedantic but you're continually misspelling Sanders. That's very Trumpist

I thought ‘popularism’ in politics a range of policies that embrace the idea that the ‘elite’ is set against the masses/the ‘people’ - it doesn’t presume corruption of the elite
When was Trump in Fulton? I must have missed that - so many court cases and indictments over the years, it really has been impossible to keep up.

I see Mr Trump has been given a ten day extension to pay a massively reduced bond of $175 million for the appeal on his fraud case (it was $464 million). Another example of how unfairly he is being treated.

Note the bond has been reduced, not the actual penalty. Just the amount he needs to put up prior to appeals being settled.
Haven't yet seen the logic that led the judges to decide this.

Don't like piling on you but this is one of the main things I just don't understand in beliefs about Trump. How is this bloke anti establishment or anti The Man or whatever you'd like to call it? It's like that thing about voting for Bush Jnr because he seemed to be "the sort of bloke you could have a pint with". Is that really your overriding reason for voting for them? Don't get it.
Despite the fact that he is the establishment

The irony being that both Bush Jr and Trump are teetotal.
And, as I understand it, paying a bond means you guarantee to pay the whole fine if the appeal doesn't go your way. If his word means anything that is.
