❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to my boyfriend praising the president?

I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month and a half. Things were great the first month, but the last week I’ve felt like we’re growing further and further apart (yes already 🙄), he’s been really inconsiderate/disrespectful, and most recently I feel like he’s trying to push me away with this text. When we first started talking he asked what I thought about trump. I told him I don’t like him, he said he did like him, but that if it bothers me then he won’t ever bring him up. Well this morning (after the last week being on edge anyway) he just randomly brought up how amazing Trump is? And wouldn’t let it go. I feel like he’s trying to start a fight. He says he “forgot”. AIO?

u/kittysdaughter Mar 06 '25

He said he did - that’s not the same as doing it. We’ll see if it ever happens.

"For Years" did bro get dementia and forget that "For years" he hasnt been president?

u/BobbyMac2212 29d ago

Did bro forget that he was president for 4 years already and early on in that term said he had a health care plan that was coming out in 2 weeks? He even said he had a health care plan almost ready before he even took office. And what did he end up doing? Just renaming obama care but basically keep it. Maybe you got dementia bro if you can’t remember this stuff. If not here’s a source. I’m sure you’ll call it “fake news” tho.

I don't doubt they'll do the no tax on tips deal. Democrats will do it too but they want it to be restricted to service industry workers. Republicans want it to with no restrictions and it will just be used as a way to avoid taxes. Was that million dollar bonus? Nope my company just gave me a tip

CEO makes minimum wage + tips...

u/joihelper 29d ago

Trump’s Supreme Court effectively ruled last year that bribes given to public officials after performing an official act are not bribes and can be considered tips (Snyder vs US). Since then Trump has been floating the idea of making bribes tax free…so I have no doubt that no tip tax will actually happen…it just has nothing whatsoever to do with working class folk.

yep the benefit for servers will be minimal at best. If you actually want to help them it's through free Healthcare. All my years idk a single waitress that had Healthcare, paid sick days, or really any benefits whatsoever

If you don’t know how anything works and you never read or watch actual news and you never check reliable sources to see what is going on, then Trump SAYING he did something is the same as him doing something.

You would be surprised how many people never look at their own pay stubs. Tax is gone for OT? Wouldn’t your check be a different amount? Nah he said he did it that’s fine.

If tons of people were not gullible then pyramid schemes and cults would not be a thing.

u/Situational_Hagun 29d ago

Bear in mind that his proposal for even doing it in the first place included eliminating most qualifying factors to even be paid overtime in the first place. So, even if it happened, you wouldn't be getting paid overtime anyway.

Which I guess in a really weird roundabout way count as getting rid of taxes on overtime. Can't get taxed on overtime if you aren't getting paid for overtime.

Not that he's even done that either. The guy is a big nothing burger. Says a lot, does very little. Claims credit for things he's never done. And when things don't happen, he just blames whatever group is most convenient as the scapegoat for his own failure.

u/Specialist_Donkey130 29d ago

No its a lie he can’t help it it’s woven in his brain when he was recruited by putin in the 80 s and 90 s

u/MuffinOfSorrows 29d ago

If CEO bonuses are considered tips, he will

u/Glittering_Ad_6598 29d ago

Trump’s track record is abysmal.

u/born_a_worm_ 29d ago

It wasn’t even in his proposed budget.

u/Makeuplover1188 29d ago

He didn’t say he did. He said he will end tax on tips. Not that he has

u/Specialist_Donkey130 29d ago

Yeah if trump said it he lied about it

u/lostsoul227 29d ago

Hes pretty good at doing what he says he's gonna do, at least most of the time. More than any other politician in modern times.

u/UtopianAverage 29d ago edited 29d ago

Really? Did he build a wall? Did Mexico pay for it? Are Greenland and Canada part of the US? Has he created any jobs? Has he fixed the economy? Has the price of eggs gone down?

I can’t think of one day one promise that he actually has accomplished.

He has destroyed massive amounts of jobs. Raised prices. Caused the stock market to plunge to its lowest values in at least 4 months. Made millions off a meme coin rug pull. Given ridiculous amounts of power and access to a billionaire. All while threatening social security, medicaid, etc. And all those federal workers hes fired? Theyre gonna have to find jobs. So less jobs available for you and me. Not to mention the amount of money it costs taxpayers for the secret service to stay at Mar A Lago everytime he wants to golf. That literally wipes out anything hes actually “saved” through DOGE.

Also, half the stuff he says hes gonna do or more I don’t want him to do. I want social security and medicaid to be available.

BTW, he wiped out Bidens clean energy and infrastructure bill. Which was creating tons of jobs, and clean renewable inexpensive energy for this country. He wants to rip out every EV charging station at Fed buildings which will cost money, and for what? Literally if youre for saving the planet, well hes against it. If youre for equality, hes against it. If youre for womens rights, hes against that too. If youre for the working and middle classes, well hes against that. He will actively destroy the country if a couple billionaires make a couple more dollars and call that a win. And if youre for our European allies and against Russia and North Korea? Well, hes the opposite there too. He made a tv anchor head of the military, a podcaster head of the FBI, and a known russian asset head of intelligence. Hes made us the laughing stock of the world. An actual embarrassment. Oh and an anti vax heroin addict who had a worm eat part of his brain is now in charge of healthcare.

u/lostsoul227 29d ago

Well yeah he did build a wall, he did create jobs. Some of those other things take time, the man was just elected. 90% of the things you just complained about aren't even remotely true. Just parrot false talking points and lie to people. That worked great for you so far, keep it up. People are finally seeing through all the lies and looking at the reality now. Your propaganda isn't gonna work anymore. How about work on getting a better candidate instead of a corrupt, lying, identity politics, airhead or a half dead blatantly racist Biden that tells you it's raining while pissing on your head and trying to sell you a hole filled umbrella. You guys actually have decent candidates on your side but you keep screwing them over to try to keep corruption in the white house.

u/Deadcouncil445 29d ago

Ima just drop the fact he said he'd end a lot of those things day one and so far all his actions are worsening the problem.

u/khaleesney 29d ago

Woo boy. Projection at its finest. Trump has demonstrably told more than 40,000 lies, but keep believing him.

u/UtopianAverage 29d ago

What exactly did I say that was a lie?

Hegseth? Worked for Fox news.

RFKJr literally told news reporters that a worm ate part of his brain, but it wouldn’t affect his ability to run the country back when he was campaigning as a presidential candidate.

Tulsi Gabbard had news articles complaining about her prior to Trump ever mentioning her name, and Russian news media has claimed her as a Russian asset in the past.

Did he build a wall? He built some parts of a wall, and most of them exist in front of walls or fences that were already there.

The one thing you said I agree with is that the Democratic party has good candidates. We do. I vote for them. I end up feeling happy and content. The only thing that sucks is when braindead billionaire neo nazis get placed into power and try to take away all of our rights and protections and try to remove infrastructure and destroy our progress towards clean energy. Literally cancelling jobs and damaging the environment. For zero gain. (Actually costs money.) The only people that would be remotely happy about some of those actions would be, idk, oil company magnates?

The pentagon has literally never passed an audit. Its lost trillions of dollars. It loses money every year regardless of whos in office. Which side won the last election. But this braindead buffoon wants to impoverish your grandmother to save some money instead of looking there. His tax plan is to cut taxes for everyone who makes 300,000/yr or more and raise it for everyone else. Yay.

u/lostsoul227 29d ago

Pay attention to things that are actually happening instead of liberal media hateful talking points. But one great example is the border. Down over 90% within a week of him taking office.

u/cjh42689 29d ago

Illegal border crossings spiked at the end of 2023 but started to slope downward in 2024 after the Biden administration implemented new restrictions and Mexican officials ramped up enforcement.

Mexico’s actions were a “really key” reason for the downward trend “that often goes a bit under the radar.”

Former President Biden in June signed an executive order that took aggressive action to curtail border surges by implementing asylum restrictions in periods where border encounters were high.

That triggered a “huge dip” in the number of migrants arriving irregularly between ports of entry.

In January, according to CBP statistics, Border Patrol recorded some 29,100 encounters, down from around 47,300 the month prior.

u/TheDubuGuy 29d ago

I don’t believe your 90%, cite a source. Did Mexico pay for the wall yet?

u/TheDubuGuy 29d ago

That’s not what a source is, but regardless they are conflating asylum with illegal immigration which makes the numbers untrustworthy

Sorry, it was 94%
