Before they ran you could say you hadn’t heard much about Clinton, Carter, Reagan, Obama, Bush I (and really all I knew about W was that he was a son). The only famous person running was Trump. Look where that got people. Before Trump the only person nationally known was probably Eisenhower.

Well and Ronald Reagan for being a pretty prolific actor in the 40s and 50s.

I suppose. I’d never heard of him as an actor before he was running and people talked about it. Eisenhower was world famous right before he ran for president.

Reagan was mostly known as the voice of GM during the 50's and then Governer of California that called for a bloodbath on the college campuses in the 60's

The Rest is History has a fascinating podcast on him

This is the exactly how the media/politicians lie to make us believe their narrative. I hope you didn't fall for this 2025 garbage.

A Harris campaign official told CNN last week – when Harris herself inaccurately described some of the contents of the Project 2025 policy document – that the campaign “made a deliberate decision to brand all of Trump’s policies” as “Project 2025,” since they believe “it has stuck with voters.”
Here's the truth about Trump & Project 2025.
NSFW!

Obama was huge after the keynote speech in 2004. Everyone assumed he was going to step up and run for President in 2008. I don't know what the line is for required popularity, but he was definitely known across the country after the speech.

Trump stole that idea from former Republican Ron Paul LOL. Get your facts straight

Quote:
The alleged “TRUMP idea” arrives years after ex-Republican presidential candidate and former Rep. Ron Paul, in a Jan. 2012 op-ed, called it an “outrage” that wait staff and other service workers had to pay taxes on tips they earned on the clock.

The ex-Texas lawmaker, in 2007 and years thereafter, introduced legislation in Congress that looked to exempt tips from federal income and payroll taxes.

“That’s because I understand ending taxes on tips will give these workers a pay raise, letting them keep more money to put toward things like a house or car payment, their retirement, or their own and/or their children’s education,” wrote Paul in the Las Vegas Sun op-ed.

Congressional records also show that at least one other lawmaker has called for no taxes on tips as former Rep. Phil Crane (R-Ill.) pushed the proposal back in 1982.

You know that the hospitality workers' union has turned down Trump and endorsed Kamala, right? Same with the United auto workers union.

That's probably because in Trump's 4 years he made temporary tax cuts to the middle class but made the tax cuts to the rich permanent. If it wasn't for McCain Medicare and social security would be dead.

He bankrupted a university, a steak company, and a damn casino. That's tough to do.

And you still didn't acknowledge the evidence where he is a proven racist.

Yay...another stolen policy!
So after four years of being the "open" border czar, she now wants a strong border.
You can't make this stuff up.

Biden putting Kamala in charge of the border.

Republican whining about the border is getting so old. There was an aggressive border bill in place, negotiated by James Lankford and agreed to by Democrats, only for Republicans to kill it at the 11th hour because Cadet Bone Spurs wanted them to. Trump doesn't want to fix the border at all, he just wants to campaign on it.

  • Doesn't change the fact that Kamala stole the policy idea from a Republican.
  • So many bankrupts, yet he still never gave up. This just proves he isn't a quitter, unlike Biden.
  • Would a racist do this?

    Would a racist help black and minorities communities?

I post X video clips or YouTube video of what people said or did. I could care less who posted it.
It's about what the video shows or describes with the least amount of media/user spin on it.
Again, it's hard to find somewhat somewhat neutral stuff to share without the Right or Left putting their spin on it.
https://ground.news is actually a decent site to find news, and know if it's coming from a Right, Left, or Neutral leaning writer.

You're so far removed from reality, what colour is the water where you're from? Orange?

Trump has you completely and utterly duped.
