Rob,

You dont ever put up anything about Trump that doesn't bash him.
What you consider to be factual reality and completely justified is Trump bashing.

early on in the tariff issue,
you looked at the movement of the tariffs in the first few days.
You extended that ("I did the math") and claimed that tariffs were going to hit 500% at their current rate of ascendance.
I said that was hyperbolic and ridiculously unlikely and the back-and-forth went on from there.
I said that line of thinking was just hand-me-down talking points from propaganda machines.

I stand by that and was correct. I was not being rude, but I was being frank.
You are the one that shows up with the unsolicited political Trump-bash posts. It seems to me that you are going to view any rebuttal as rude.

I am a conservative in a blue city in a red state.
I am surrounded by Trump haters, open border advocates, no bail advocates and on and on. As a result, my skin is a lot thicker than theirs.

You all bash TRUMP? and consider anything that you say as righteous and true.
I defend him? I'm a barbarian.

That is why I suggest you take your political concerns to one of the millions of sites that invite arguments...rather than a songwriter site.
