Think Pop’ll throw his hat into the Democratic Primary in 2020?
only if it works
He was definitely pro Bush and praised him after 9/11.He is, apparently, but seemingly a fairly closeted one. Having an owner outspokenly pro-Trump, in theory, could keep FA's from coming- not that they were anyway
Trump is a different animal and to be a celeb you have to stay in the closet to support him which is bull imo.
Goes both ways. I'm from Texas and in many work places it was the same way for Obama supporters.
It really isn't, especially in the NBA. During the aftermath of 9/11 Bush was overwhelmingly popular (something like high 70's in approval rating) so there wasn't much risk in praising Bush. By the end; after the Iraq debacle and two wars, it wasn't necessarily a lot to gain in publicly praising him.
Trump is extremely polarizing; his supporters love him, while his opponents despise him- judging by approval/ disapproval ratings, it's 39/55 which is pretty consistent amongst most polls that he doesn't tweet about.
Black athletes and foreign born players populate the league and he isn't hot amongst either demo, his approval numbers among Black people are likely less than what Kyle Anderson scores per game so its smart business to stay in the closet about supporting him.
For the record, I think he's been a ing show as president but am fine with people publicly supporting him, just don't expect people to do the same, especially if they are players who can generally choose which team they want to play for tbh
Man; I live in Virginia and even the GOP gubernatorial candidate avoided talking about him like the ing plague because Trump's approval/disapproval rating had gotten so low in the aftermath of Charlottesville (35/60).
Trump, of course, publicly endorsed him anyway while also flat out lying about the Democratic candidate in the same tweet, which pretty much sunk his chances of winning, like Patty playing 40 minutes in any given game
Well. You have to admit, a large part of that is his fault. He is lauded for acting like a child by his strong base and of course the moderates on the GOP side is going to disagree with his actions as well as their cons uents. He literally bullies the companies and citizens he dislikes using Twitter and media with no remorse.Man; I live in Virginia and even the GOP gubernatorial candidate avoided talking about him like the ing plague because Trump's approval/disapproval rating had gotten so low in the aftermath of Charlottesville (35/60).

In the words of Poop... "Trump can't get over himself".It really isn't, especially in the NBA. During the aftermath of 9/11 Bush was overwhelmingly popular (something like high 70's in approval rating) so there wasn't much risk in praising Bush. By the end; after the Iraq debacle and two wars, it wasn't necessarily a lot to gain in publicly praising him.

8/10 for the analogies, though.
Iraq was a debacle. Afghanistan was necessary and justified. You can't just lie down like a little and take it when 2900 of your own innocent civilians die by mere chance on your home soil by malicious intent.
The problem was, the Taliban/Al-Qaeda throughout the 90s had taken a page out of the 1960s North Vietnamese Vietminh by converting their structured militia to a guerrilla scheme, which it knew the Americans historically struggle(d) with. This, along with the topography of Afghanistan, allowed them to survive as a terror organization from 9/11 to today, even in small numbers, because as many terrorists as we've killed, there are always others in hiding somewhere out there.
This is also why ISIS has been a miserably failed experiment by the jihadists. Al-Qaeda disowned them quickly in 2014, not because they weren't an ideological match (they are) but because Zawahiri and company didn't want any part of a centralized Islamic State that served as a relatively easy target for the West and its allies. That, and ISIS is inherently disadvantaged in its flat desert topography, meaning they really have nowhere to hide except within other Sunni Muslim cities, the citizens of which they use as human shields against large-scale Western invasion. But the diehardedness of these extremists has ultimately, primarily, led to the demise of ISIS and the remainder of the surviving mercenaries largely defecting to al-Qaeda, al-Nusra, etc.
The best part was after Gillespie (the GOP candidate) lost, he criticized him for not embracing him and his policies more-which Trump thought, somehow, that it would've helped him win.
Gillespie was actually leading about a month out but ended up losing by 10 points following Trump's endorsement. My Cousin lives in Charlottesville and goes to UVA and mentioned how crazy the turnout was, it was up something like 130% from the Presidential election with 87% voting Democrat. Turnout was up across the state because of the election was viewed as a referendum on Trump tbh.
It looks like it’s about to work!
Trump is a big goddamn orange colored piece of . But Pop would say so regardless.
He really can though, plus he seems to be easily distracted and can be baited into arguments easily. Then there are the lies- I expect Presidents to lie but damn, at least be good at it or do so when necessary. It gives people who don't like him ammo and his supporters reasons to doubt him.
Well, Pop may not have Trump as subject matter to cover up for the team's abysmal performance much longer. Trump's attorney just got raided. That's bad for Trump. Very bad. While his fans are likely to not believe any criminal charges that could come against him, I doubt Trump will have much luck in the legal system. This would be unprecedented for a president and could get ugly real quick. I guess Pop always has President Pence to target, but it won't be nearly as interesting for the next two years.
According to an article I read that raid was about the pornstar Stormy Daniels payment his attorney made not the Russia stuff. I doubt Trump loses his presidency over an affair he reportedly had. Really this is none of our damn business but the media is obsessed with Trump.
If he broke campaign laws, it could. The affair is perfectly legal. But we’ll see about the cover up. I don’t know how it would impact his presidency. 1/3 of the country would defend him if they saw him murder someone in the street. Maybe a civil war.
