I'm at a loss to think of worthy values that Trump is trying to bring back

mcfly — 9/6/2018 10:29:03 PM (archived)

Family values? Well, not the way he's talked about his own daughter, or swapped out wives. Or cheated on them.

Fiscal responsibility? Not really a Trumpian strong point. Actually, nothing that includes the word "responsibility" can be counted among his strengths (whatever those might be).

Solidarity with our traditional allies? No, mainly because we no longer have any traditional allies.

Strength in the face of our historic foes? Meh, he seems to find it a lot more fun to kick back and relax with dictators and mass murderers than to hound them about human rights and other such pointless nonsense.

Law and order? As administered by a dumb southern retard (to paraphrase)? He does seem eager, though, to get law and order off the backs of his fellow republicans. And himself.

Yes, I'm being facetious, but only to a point. Conservative values are of zero importance to Trump.
