No its not, but neither is the left wing claptrap you quoted.

Except, of course, for the tiny detail that it is not:

Still, when you're that far to the right, everything looks left wing to you...

It's just tribalism. He believes Trump because he wants to be like Trump, but knows that it's a lie.

He doesn't want to admit it's a lie though & saying everyone else is lying is easy because hey we all lie right. Except it's only Trump.

It's the same mechanism why Leave voters defend Brexit, even though none of the things they were promised are real.

I didn't even look, it looked biased at a quick glance.

This seems to confirm their bias

Yet I'm not a trump supporter and I voted remain. I'm still OK with remain, I'm against the current dead lock.

So why do you believe his own advertising, but think anything else is left wing clap trap?

It can be ended in a couple of different ways, you'll have to forgive me for assuming you have a favored method for doing that.

Like I said Trump is a moron, I don't like the way he conducts himself or a lot of his policies. I'd still rate him above the Bush's but below Clinton (Bill). I'm more of a Reagan fan.

I want/expect people from both sides to just get on with it.

Would you feel the same if you were in a hostage situation and there was a gun to your head?

You would tell them to just get on with it and shoot you?

Remember when leavers were telling us all that trade with the Commonwealth would increase significantly after Brexit?

Well, turns out it’s been suggested that the U.K. be suspended from the Commonwealth because of the anti-democratic actions currently been undertaken by the leavers...

That's the current situation, with the EU holding the gun.

We can't leave with or without a deal it seems, unless it favours the EU.
