Yesterday I was eating with my girlfriend & naturally we started talking politics. She brought up the whole “...but Trumps a racist!” thing so I promptly showed her the speech Trump gave to black Republicans, the pic of him with Rosa Parks, along with articles of Trump supporting black colleges and black run businesses as well as his SotU speech talking about minority unemployment being so low. I also pointed out to her that Obama deported more people than any other president in history and that he actively held “children in cages” way longer than Trump.
What are some other common critiques of Trump you guys see? How do you counter them?
Just ask for specifics. Theyll never give them
This 👆 always works and if they try to give specifics, 99% of the time it’s bullshit fake news that is easily proven wrong....and that’s when you plant the seed that they need better sources for truth because they’re be played by the DNC media
When they (rarely) do give specifics it's something every president has done in the last 50 years. Too many examples to list. All of a sudden I'm supposed to care bc Trump does it. Laughable.
When they make wild accusations, you ask them for proof. And you say that because they are making an accusation, then they must have proof. So what is the proof? That makes it so they cannot back out of their statement and give you their typical answer of "look it up yourself if you don't know"
if they say "Trump is a racist", then ask them for proof. if they cant give you any, then challenge them on why they think he is. gotta keep pushing them to actually back up their side, and not just spout bullshit
Them: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Me: <dank memes>
Racist: explain nationality v race
Trump is mean: calling a spade a spade or fighting fire with fire
Anti-immigration: brain drain argument
Spoilers: Trumps still racist and you didn't get laid?
Edit: I guess I should say something more verbose on the topic, huh? Generally people who have these beliefs about Trump cannot be swayed by any evidence at all. If they can, I've never seen it. It opens up a whole can of worms because they have more false information as ammo, than you'll ever have defenses for. Once they score a point, even if defeated on 10, they'll maintain the same position. I wish you the best of luck.
you cannot reason, logic or discussion with the deranged. there is no hope for them.
