rushmc 18 #4 February 15, 2019 He has a history and he claimed that those attacked him were wearing Maga hats. His hatred for Trump is well documented Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not mentioned in the linked article In the earlier accounts of the attack, Smollet said the attackers told him "This is MAGA country". . Not that they were wearing the hats. As usual, someone has no clue what he's talking about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok lets not all RUSHmc to judgement. If you pardon the pun. Both trump and Smollett are actors. Both like to live on attention, they crave it. trump is a know liar and its just speculated that Smollett is a liar. trump runs a evil empire. Smollett plays a character in a backstabbing drama. Sounds like a wash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iago 8 #8 February 15, 2019 Perpetrating a hoax against yourself or your specific group to get attention and support from the general public is never a good idea. When it is, and ultimately will be, discovered to be a hoax the backlash will be severe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil1111 911 #9 February 17, 2019 Police believe 'Empire' actor hired men to stage attack Contrary to the title of this thread. Not a "trump hater exposed". But instead like trump, Smollett seeks to gain and deflect attention from their lying. As suggested before they both seek to gain from lying. trump usually financially. Smollett, TBD. Why Do People Fake Hate Crimes? The psychology is a blend of sympathy-seeking,victim-hood, hero emulation,seeking extraneous rewards,emotional dysfunction. So trump like! Just look at all the tweeting trump does with regards to how the Mueller investigation is harming his family. Instead of modifying his behavior. He doubles down.

Adopting a phony identity in order to self-promote and get attention and support in the media is also poor form. People known to have done that: John Lott (aka Mary Rosh), the "more guns less crime" guy. Donald Trump (aka John Barron or John Baron, John Miller and David Dennison) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's what she likes about him. I'm pretty sure her real motivation is pretty much the same as Trump's main motivation. She wants to stay in the public eye and keep people talking about her. She is only important if she can do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It never occurred to me how my post may be considered apologetic, especially the bit about Trumps charming puffery. The point was that people shouldn't get their hopes up. Just because she thinks Trump is an idiot, doesn't mean that her political views suddenly shifted slightly to the left. If anything, she shifted further right into no man's land.

That's not exactly true - she's mad that he hasn't been able to follow through on his campaign promises, not that his new promises are too far right. It's impossible to be too far right for Coulter, she's basically a Nazi. (Not even being hyperbolic, I genuinely think the woman is evil.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to agree with jakee on this one. She is a nutball nazi. Coulter is just one of the few on the far right to call trump out for caving. trump and Coulter are both evil.Coulter can be dismissed because her pulpit is far smaller than America's national idiot.

Coreece Both of these comments are spot on. I made a couple changes to Coreece's. Normally trump goes into full pitbull mode when anyone points out a failure/mistake/lie, of his. But he has never done it to Coulter. Most likely because he sees himself in her character. Plus he figures he'd like to jump her skinny bones sooner or later. Should the chance arise. "‘We Know Trump’s Telling the Truth’ About Border Wall ‘Because Jussie Smollett Swears He’s Seen It’ Ann Coulter Jokes “Trump talks a good game on the border wall but it's increasingly clear he's afraid to fight for it. Call this his ‘Yellow New Deal,’” Coulter tweeted. Face it, little brown people in America terrify them both and they both have those fake yellow/blonde hairdos on the go. "Coulter has also stated that Trump should face a Republican primary for 2020 if he does not deliver on building the wall, which was his biggest campaign promise."

Not even that. She's saying that he's failing to live up to the hardliner far right goals of building the wall at all cost, even if it's another shut-down or looting social security or ordering the military to the border to round up illegals and force them to build it as slave labor. All of those things would put a smile on her broken face. Edited February 19, 2019 by DJL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
