By "they" I assume you mean people like Donald Trump.

So you're saying that Donald Trump is not a builder.

And this is exactly how I was unwillingly pushed to Right politically (I've always been independent until recently).

Donald Trump is not a builder.

This is such a bizarre, ludicrous obviously patently false comment I am just going to treat is as trolling. Because that's clearly what you're doing. I know this because I have done it before just to get a reaction.

FINALLY

Donald J. Trump created (i.e. built) from nothing, the largest political machine this country has ever seen. He easily sidestepped the GOP power brokers TWICE and bitch slapped those war mongering hypocrites into oblivion.

He then beat one of the most corrupt and politically connected human in modern times (Hillary Clinton) , and then just slam dunked the most diverse candidate this country has ever seen. Against GREAT odds.

These two facts alone puts him at the very top of political players of all time. Like it or not, he did these things.

You cannot deny this as it is objectively true.

THEN, he stages a comeback that hardly has a precedent in modern history - perhaps ever - in the face of two assassinations attempts, de-banking, threats of all sorts, and STRONG media bias, to name several threats and obstacles.

THEN...in his first 30 days of taking office single-handedly (with a team of literal geniuses and super patriots) "floods the zone" with policies that were OVERWHELMINGLY SUPPORTED BY DEMOCRATS WHEN THEIR GUY/WOMAN WAS IN POWER!

This is so far beyond anything that any single person could possibly get their heads around. 99.0% of the planet will never BUILD even ONE of these endeavors.

Some of these things were successful, some failed, some were ridiculous. But you did not claim any of that.

You said

Donald Trump is not a builder.

This was a nice little chat. I hope you have a good day.

While you're online, maybe ply your satirical skills in a tribe that is more your speed t/trpshitposts

Have.

A great day.
