Psychology research suggests that with the grimness of death hanging in the air, anxious Americans might actually be more likely to support Trump in November because of his dominant leadership style and his claims of offering protection

on hope and fear in anxious, conflict-riddled societies suggests that while fear usually dominates in these settings because of the more basic evolutionary purposes it serves, it also becomes a major obstacle to the more functional, peaceful orientation necessary for normalcy to return.

—an optimistic mode of functioning that encourages a less defensive, more accurate view of the world and allows for adaptation and change.In the 1980s, 15 years into Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorial grip on Chile, he succumbed to international pressure and agreed to hold a national referendum on whether he should be allowed to remain in power for another eight years.

STFU with this clickbait crap. Find a helpful angle.

Then God better bless America because democracy will be a thing of the past!

That's stupid, senseless and fake facts .... has to be Russian propaganda!!!

This is someone desperate for clicks. Don't read. Don't forward. It's BS.

Hey well then LET THEM DIE!!!

WRONG! He is the cause of many of the people’s suffering. He is lazy and can’t do anything correct.

YEAH !! GOPChairwoman GOP RNCResearch SenateGOP

Lol the MSM already preemptively making excuses for rapist Joe inevitably losing in November

Then those people have bigger problems than Covid19. 🧠💨💩

Stop. Just stop!

What are you guys smoking over there?

When did the Republican Party Start contributing to Psychology Research? NOBODY Believes this PSYCHO BABBLE. Impeached TRUMP'S INCOMPETENCE has Caused THOUSANDS to DIE.

And maybe BECAUSE HE IS DOING A GREAT JOB.🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️

Smart people will vote for him again he has done a great job

What is the Reference for this psychology Research?

No way in hell.

There are more afro en Latino Americans victims than white why is TRUMP so stupid I like to compliment Sanders to pull out so lets beat TRUMP

BS

No. And don't try to spin it. Most of us are not that stupid.

He's incapable of defending others...only himself. I'm so glad I don't own rosy-colored glasses!

🤮

BS

yeah no fucking way.

You Politico folks are a total turn off and I’ve had enough of your nonsense so I’m UNfollowing you with a bye bye and two erect middle fingers

His handling of Covid-19 is not leadership. He waited almost 3 months to act or believe the disease was dangerous. I hope people wise up and realise our lives are in his hands and he botched it up. Maybe half of the final numbers dead could have been saved with 2 months prep.

He won't be getting my vote.

While I am feeling grim, uncertain and anxious, I am afraid of rushing towards Trump. He’s sure death. I’ll take my chances elsewhere.

And without a true alternative

The word 'leadership' is criminally misplaced in this here headline.

BS. Everyone’s mind is already made up. Have you seen this idiot reading his “script” every day on TV? My 14 year old said it reminds him of how he struggled to read aloud in 4th grade.

Ridiculous. Anxious Americans want true leadership, not someone who can’t deliver ventilators or masks or tests to where they are needed and when they are needed. He won’t even use the DPA to ramp up production. That’s incompetence not leadership.

Get the fuck out of here spreading this propaganda.

Oh Christ!

Dominant, yes. Leadership, hell no!

🤮

Now you’re being pathetic.

Bullshit!

Let’s hope psychology research is wrong - as it has been in the past & that any American with 2 brain cells that meet know your don’t look to a self- centered, immoral person for protection-the gingerbread man made that mistake.

“a sense of hope can prevail in a population when conditions are present that trigger an alternative motivational system called growth-enrichment—an optimistic mode of functioning that encourages a less defensive, more accurate view of the world & allows for adaptation & change.”

What? 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

If this is true...then Democrats need to hit back at the lies stronger than ever. Show the clips of trump down playing, lies about when he knew it, his sending vital equipment to N. Korea, not answering simple questions.

Well now is in our head😑

Dominant? Don't they mean dipshitty?It's trump who Created the threat of mortality around us all.HE is the real plague on us all,much deadlier in power than covid will ever be. But we have the vaccine. Biden2020

What a joke

WTF? We are literally in danger because of him - he has made everyone LESS safe.

You'd have to be a blind sycophant not to vote for President Trump after all his achievements and great leadership - even in the darkest hour.

Oh HELL no.

Bullshit. The only people left that are not aware that Trump is a pathological liar and incompetent were people who were going to vote for him no matter what.

Only those Americans who blindly follow their 'leader'.

Whoever wrote and believes this is a sick puppy.

They are right,

He has done nothing I don’t understand how anyone can really feel he is anything more than useless

Bitch please

Only to trumpsters.....

Doomed!

stop it

He’s the one who caused the deaths. That’s a crock of shit🇺🇸

What leadership style. On the contrary, Americans feel betrayed 🇺🇸

It’s a good possibility. It’s the same thing in war time. I sincerely hope not. A lot will depend on how we have to adjust for our national election in November.

'Claims (sic),' assholes? Jesus.

Batshit crazy talking point! People are dying, it’s been a shit show since it started and before that, this presidency has been filled with corruption, lies, hiring/firing like no other, lies to the American people a blown out deficit. Yeah re-elect 😂 clown. Biden2020 COVID

Heaven forbid! Not everyone swallows that snake oil salesman's pack of lies.

This article is pathetic. No one sees him as a strong leader except his cult followers. A lie comes out of his mouth every other word. For God’s sake, he is causing thousand of lives. Ignorant article

Trump is a weak man's idea of a strong man. That's not leadership. You suck, Politico.

He is a pathological liar who isn’t challenged by the media. If the media shot back and fact checked Americans would realize he’s a cretin and a fool. That’s psych 101.

Then they are fing idiots because he is killing people with his fairy tales

Can’t wait to hear the analysis of Biden

You mean people vote based on fear? WOW...

No, no they better not. Ignorance and arrogance is not leadership.

Since when is obtuse irrationality 'dominant,' and how is it superior to informed consensus in making determinations? Tyrants are always 'dominant.' Trump only cares about trump, his domineering style of leadership serves no one but him.

People weren’t standing in lines in Wisconsin yesterday to vote for Trump. 🙄. TrumpIsTheWORSTPresidentEVER

fakeleadership

Fake

As usual Politico tweets are irrelevant. Fake news.

That's a lie!

And also JoeBiden is completely worthless

No

No.

I think it should be trump charged with aggravated homicide

You mean his leadership style of doing nothing and then shifting the blame, openly, publicly, and without remorse for the blood on his hands? THAT leadership style? Yeah, right.

Hopefully people are smart enough to see through Trump's lies and Bullshit! Trump only cares about Trump!! He's done a TERRIBLE job with this pandemic

Hell no he’s a fraud!!!

Nope. Not a single reliable source would back up this absurd claim. Idiots will support him. Everyone else knows he is a fool and needs to go.

TEXASDENNY Trump should win because several months ago the Democrats trotted out a diverse range of potential nominees who were crackpots,phonies,incapables,quasi-Marxists+geriatrics. Throw in the House Democrat’s mindless political theatrics over the past 3 1/2 years=potential landslide.

That's nice and good luck selling that.

We have anxiety, we’re not fucking stupid.

Yeah. In a related note, here is realDonaldTrump persuading voters. [image source unknown]

Sorry disagree. Americans are done with Trump. Politico should NOT be putting the 'the power of suggestion' into people's minds😡👎

That would apply to stupid people only. Stupid, white, Evans.

When did Kaleigh McHenry start writing for Politico?

That’s a fucking lie.

Sheep

only for the terminally insane does that argument work.

Yes, but the educated among us know that it is all bullshit.

“Dominant Leadership” 🤣😂 He’s a ticking time bomb 💣🧨

Wooow you guys are getting rocked for this story

Oh no! What’s Palosi’s plan now?😂😂

Crap

His dominant? He's a little scared weenie..beta male that acts like he's 3 years old. Only failed sociopathic souls would think he was a good leader. Pathetic.

Bulllllshit.

Dominant leadership? Those words dont even belong EVER in the same sentence as the name Trump

Among many reasons

No fucking way.

Because he is one of the Best presidents ,we have had in last ? Well seems like 100 years

Are you covering all bases.. if he loses it's the pandemic and if he wins it's because of the pandemic

NOPE

NO! Please say it's not true, don't they watch him, fact check etc

BULLSHIT

Um...well... no fecking way.

Now THIS is fake news!!!!

WTF?

Here for the RATIO LOL

In other words, fear can make you do stupid things

You mean BRAINWASHING. The only leadership one can see is the blind leading the blind. Do people want to have pestilence to realize there are deaths around the country?

Oh fuck no! He’s the reason for this.

He’s about as dominant as rectal cancer is enjoyable.

Oh God NO

THERE IS NEVER A REASON TO SUPPORT A DICKtator!

Yeah ok...

NO!!!!!’

BS

He said the other night there should not be an election because he has been perfect with this Virus? He is a F**KING moron!! If you look over the past 3 months this so called president doesn’t CARE that Americans are dying he cares about lining his pockets with MONEY!

GOD FORBID.

New conspiracy theory: Trump created the virus and had it released in China knowing that this would happen! 😱😂🤣

Trump is not leading at all. He is a failure in every way possible. Are Americans truly that stupid?!?

Only if they watch Fox fake news and believe anything from POTUS! He is not strong and has never been strong! He doesn’t listen to anyone, doctors or professionals! Liar in chief, start fact checking everything he says. Lie, scream and repeat!!!

I’ll pass on the condescension.

You forgot to add liberals running government are horrible where ever they are tried. Thank God Trump is our President! He is taken the lead to help unprepared liberal states defeat this virus!

Only because he gets free coverage with little pushback on his bs once a day. I'm not asking for the media to put him in a headlock, but lord almighty there is video and stats to rebutt nearly everything he says. WTF

Wrong

Not. Ever.

Anyone voting for him wouldn’t hv lost a loved one for nothing, and would be willing to get run over by WH limousine if trump was driving.

Their stupid

makes no sense that people would vote for the person responsible for the grim outcome ... please

It’s called Stockholm syndrome and He’s our captor.

Those researchers need a psychiatrist.

His claims are lies. Anyone that votes for him after this is insane. He has been corrupt since before his Presidency. Continued to be corrupt throughout this Presidency. Now his lies are killing people. He care about himself and money. He doesn’t care about lives lost.

Ohhh...bullshit!

What a load of horse, dog, cat, and bird shit.

New study finds people who have low emotional IQs tend to be racist right-wingers

This nonsense is derrived from a theory in the 1700s that was picked up and looked at 45 years ago. Can we dig any deeper for bullshit that lives under rocks?

The Trump effect: New study connects white American intolerance and support for authoritarianism

Is this just saying Americans are stupid and stupid people are easily manipulated?

No way. All of these deaths and Trumps response to the Covid virus downplaying the situation lying to the American people saying it’s a hoax that it’s the Democrats that did this . He won’t get re-elected but I know he can cheat his way for a win .

Ha ha ha....Trump is a main reason there is so much death. His daily ramblings and anger at simple questions show he’s unfit. More likely to support Trump as we watch him fail?!?! We’re doomed

This.

JUST STOP!!!!!! HE’S INCOMPETENT AND CRAZY!!!!!

You got that right! Trump2020Landslide

fuck right off

No.

Dear God Politico what are you doing

Laughable Trump is a failure

Nope. Please don’t spew this all around. He must go.

Oh god that’s such bullshit

That's bullshit.

BS

Could boost Trump’s re-election chances - What deliberate misleading headline. Should read, with Trump’s leadership during this pandemic reelection a must.

In the real world out here, Trump is Loathed by everyone I know including some of his former supporters! So instead of some stupid research that you didn't bother referencing perhaps ya'll will actually look into that theory. 🙄

Time to block Politico, shitty absolutely shitty

Rut Roh...Keep checking those hits to see how this is playing out! Not good for Fake News propaganda! America now on to the Fake News Media that we all know you are! Get ready for 4 more illustrious years&beyond but the upside for Fake News, you don’t have to work for propaganda!

He has support without this garbage being printed

What a load of CRAP! Come November, October even, Americans will be more angry than they are today. Look back to January, people were tired of the Impeachment. But come the Election, people will want Trump gone as they will have learnt far more. Don't underestimate the people

I fucking lost it at “dominant leadership” 🤣🤣 what a good laugh

They’d be dumb as soup!!

Hell no

Well then god save their souls coz there’ll surely be another major crisis or two during the next presidency

Sick minded people hang on to lies!

And they’re just a bunch of POOR OL IGNORANT BILLYS, GOD BLESS THEIR LITTLE ol PEA PICKING HEARTS

Highly doubtful

Wasn't that Putins plan?

Ugh. Politico. This is a pro mob headline.

Dominant leadership? Wtaf!🤬

POTUS currently responsible for over 12, 900 Deaths. realDonaldTrump is A............,

Why waste valuable time printing nonsense?

If it's possible can you tell me your opinion, don't you believe that China should be held responsible in some way, for intentionality or omission about the virus and paying trillions of dollars?

If that's true a sizable percentage of Americans are fools. You watch 'that child' and his party beclowning in the midst of a pandemic and yet they say you will vote for Donnie. If we were not in a pandemic I would say this would be prime time for a march on DC.

Hopefully, the truth of COVID19 will handle all of it one way or another.

And they are stupid

Nice try, Politico! Clickbait.

Not Just Claims! he is and has been Working Very Hard for America & our Citizens! it is apx. 1 Full 1/3 of Congress that Has To GO! Pelosi, Waters, Schumer, Warren, Oman, Tlaib, Wilson, McConnell, Romney, Sanders, Welch, . . . many more!

... trump has shown to be an ineffective leader, and trump 'claims of protection' has shown to be a delusion, for trump inaction and indecision has made the coronavirus pandemic a lot worse than it should be.

Fat chance.

Only the morons

The fact that majority of Americans disapprove in recent polls, despite the crisis rally effect (which had Bush at 90% post-9/11) says otherwise...

Because thats how you idiots portray him. LesterHoltNBC calls him bold. Media is failing.

Peter Coleman can just shut the F up! People have died and more than should have! Maybe Peter would do better to write about what a Malignant Narcissist is and how trump fits it to a 'T.' ffs.

Voting for the democ rats..is a Death Wish

That is folly...applies only to the weak minded who have been drinkiing his koolaid for 4 years.

You seem so disappointed.

Come on. His 'claims of offering protection' are pathetic lies we can all see with our own eyes.

... trump has shown to be an ineffective leader, and trump 'claims of protection' has shown to be a delusion, for trump inaction and indecisio has made the coronavirus pandemic a lot worse than it should be.

😢

Who writes this crap..

He has no leadership. He is riding on Pences coat tail right now.

I call 🐂💩!

BS

When a society is too stupid to recognize a psychopath out to do nothing but enrich himself at their expense and kill anyone who opposes him, it is doomed. Ppl

Key word: “claims” Reality: not prepared. More die because of this unpreparedness. We see it in every press briefing/rally. Give us someone who cares about the peons and gets things done.

This article is a huge pile of dog shit. TrumpLiesPeopleDie VoteBlue2020

It took ‘psychology research’ to tell you a senile old man isn’t gonna beat Trump?

A nation of sheep and lemmings?

”Americans might actually be more likely.” Wordy Sentences.

Give me a fucking break

realDonaldTrump is a damned LIAR !!!

That may have been true in the past but not anymore. Never has a president been so hated. That hatred will motivate people to vote against him. The people have had enough of this bullshit. He is totally unqualified & unhinged for the job as POTUS.

Wobbledance1 LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Well. They aren't wrong. People rally behind a leader in times of crisis. The question is who is the media going to portray as a leader in the eyes of the people. Trump gets free airtime as an incumbent so he has the home field advantage.

Shame on Politico for assuming many Americans have fallen under the spell of MAGA. For perspective I’ve linked this article from the Atlantic. Let’s remember the lessons of Jim Jones & learn from history so we don’t repeat it.

I’m not voting, especially for Trump.

Wow. I don't think I can ever think that way, so count me out.

Please God no!

The man’s a half wit.... what do you expect?

Only weak minded, gullible people would want trump around. He's the reason things are as bad as they are. His NEGLIGENCE and INEPTITUDE is the catalyst for over 10,000 deaths! No sane person would want the person who IS the problem to stay, but trump will LIE to stay where he is.

So Americans are just cattle. I don't think so.

WTF kind of stupidity is this to put in print? No we will not vote for Donald Trump. His 'dominant leadership' style is nothing more then piss ass bullying. We hate those type of people. We hate Trump & Republicans like me or waiting to vote him out.

Who wrote this bullsh? Whoever votes for this corrupt sonofabitch to stay in the People's House is either a fool or as corrupt as he is. He's guilty of NegligentHomicide. Full Stop.

The upsurge in support is very characteristic in European countries too. Therefore, some governments do not want to postpone elections that are held during covid-19 pandemic.

He’s committed to Americans. Wether part of that is his own vanity, need to go down in history or not, he wants Americans to win. Unlike the other party who apologizes for America. Who won’t pledge allegiance or fly our flag. So many died to protect their right to be insolent.

At this point in time the 'Rally round the Flag' theory as well as the 'Don't change horses in the middle of the stream' theory, of which this is a variation, are dead in the water. The 'Emperor has no clothes' theory is where we are.

OMG!!!NO,NO,NO!

Except that actually polling shows the opposite. Strange article.

What the hell are you on? This is one of the most asinine things I've heard these past 3 long years and there has been LOTS of asinine things said to outdo for that ranking! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Many will. It comes down to a couple of states. He’s got Russia, the Supreme Court, Moscow Mitch and the electoral college in his pocket. We have a tuff hill to climb. Every single vote counts.

People like stability and trustworthiness in times of crisis. You’re confusing false bravado with stable, and decisive leadership. I hope that enough Americans will know the difference.

Some of your stories are crazy wrong. People will vote trump out of office. Governors will protect the voters in spite of trump lack of leadership. VoteBidenBeatTrump

We need to expose his lies. God help us if he gets re-elected. Trump is an IDIOT.

This is only if he came across as a protector...which he isn't.

This is the most irresponsible reporting I’ve ever seen. How dare you even promote this idea. You sound complicit. STOP running headlines like this. I’m never reading you again and unfollowing.

After seeing the people in line to vote in the Wisconsin primary it proves this article false so many people showing up in the middle of Covid19 proves Trump is about to get his ass handed to him in November.

Don’t even start with this idea.

Snarky side comment His leadership is why he is expected to win. realDonaldTrump Trump2020

This is BS

U are abusing us here

I doubt anyone is watching 10s of thousands of Americans die and thinking “I definitely support the person responsible”.

Not even with my dying breath -NOT EVER, would I EVER support the psychopath in the WH. ANYONE who watches this moron bumble through a press conference and thinks he is doing a good job needs to have their head examined. BoycottTrumpPressConferences

Is that why he waited 70 days, in order to make sure it was going to be the worst case scenario?!!

President Trump has done a great job for us his whole time as President. You have nothing & no qualified candidate or achievements. Thats why your buying votes. Giving those still employed $25,000 extra. And why you wasted $250 mil on crap that had no business in that bill.

No I won’t and what dominant leadership style? He’s a bully, that’s it!

Oh please 🤦‍♀️... surely Americans are not as stupid as this🤷🏼‍♀️

HE LIES! TrumpLies TrumpLiesPeopleDie

Lies, lies, lies, trump will not be re elected, I know this.🦂I'm going to send him my little friend here lol.

Trump will get reelected in 2020 Democracy has no place for phusseez and there's none left in USA.

On Americans that DON'T USE COMMON SENSE !

Oh no no no no...........never!

USA for United Stupid Americans? NO Way Americans are smarter than that! Trump is a killer!

Dumbasses who believe lies.

Or it could be that his opponent is a moron. Again.

Lol no.

What leadership? Seriously?

And because he is a better candidate.

What about he is the best for the job?

🤣🤣🤣 Gtfoh

Well then their idiots. I can’t see how anyone can believe this man’s foolishness other than fools.

His “dominant leadership style” - also known as abdicating his responsibility & instigating fatal chaos by pitting states against each other like fucking Lord of the Flies?!?! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK You have me rage tweeting

Really, Politico? Usually you're on the ball, but that's a pretty big thing to swallow. People who are still drinking that koolaid might hang on, but I do not see Trump moving up the polls even if we're out of this by November.

Until they realise he is leading them to their demise.

Stop trying to create a self fulfilling prophecy. If psychological analysis could provide statistically significant reproducibility without media manipulation, we would all be drowning in stock market success.

Lies you tell.

Psychology research suggests that with the grimness of death hanging in the air, anxious Americans might actually be more likely to support Trump in November because he's actually - and perhaps against all odds, doing a pretty decent job And has been doing it for three years now

Oh get fucked.

Well, that will never happen!! Should I remind you of Bush!!! This crisis is far more showing how unfit Trump is now!!!

That’s why he does it. He lies, but people believe him.

THIS WILL SOUND AWFUL & MORBID & I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND INSENSITIVE BUT I'M GOING TO BE HONEST - I'M WILLING TO STAND IN A FU*KING BLIZZARD, I'M WILLING TO RISK CATCHING COVID-19. I WILL VOTE FOR BIDEN NO MATTER WHAT. I WILL LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THIS POS VOTED OUT. HE WILL BE.

No. His bull shit is too putrid. We’re not that stupid anymore.

Ignoring how his inaction has resulted in over 12,000 American deaths? He is weak. He lies. People are dying as a result.

You couldn't more off the mark with that summation. He has proven that he is a coward and a bully. Everyday he stands at the podium and blatantly lies to cover what he lied about the day before. He is mean and vindictive to the press for calling him out.

Oh shut the hell up

45 wants to be a cheerleader. Rah, rah, ree - Kick 'em in the knee Rah, rah, rass - Kick 'em in the other knee He's kicked us so far down to the ground that getting up hurts. At the rate we're going it's not that we want to vote for him, but he just may be the last person 1)

His leadership style sucks

We aren’t that stupid.

It doesn’t matter. realDonaldTrump is slated to pay. Either by established laws or divine ones. EVERYBODY PAYS. NOBODY, NO ONE gets away free. “Religious Leaders”, like realDonaldTrump, are blind leading the blind.

Reminiscent of Germany of 1930's flocking toward a psychopath in hitler.

What leadership?

In a crisis people tend 'circle the wagons' not unlike Americans rallied around President Bush even though he ignored reports of planes flying into buildings less than three months before 911 — and again after he falsely linked WMD threats in Iraq to the World Trade Center attack

People, please has anyone read the whole article? Politico magazine isn't making any kind of endorsement of Trump. I live in Puerto Rico and if anybody detest Trump we do . I beg of you to read and then make up your own mind or opinion. Stay safe and be safe.

Most people vote by emotion not by information.

Vote doe Bernie, we need MedicareForAll, these pandemics won't be stopping anytime soon and will become more frequent as temperatures rise.

WRONG

Sooooo, the same weakly skilled at critical analysis/thinking will support him again?

DUH

lexit blexit walkway

Politico. What is going on?

In other words; People are stupid.

Dominant leadership. Wtf

FUK NO

K. Politico is officially muted.

What are you and they smoking?

What protection

Wrong!

Protection for who? But he is president. It's an incredibly stupid country.

🤮

His what now?

Stupid.

Fuck them, him and you.

That’s a lie from the pits of hell

Protection..........? 🙄🙄

Not a chance. We don’t need a cheerleader with so many personal problems.

dominant leadership style of propaganda, disinformation and lies? Offering protection by killing more people with his incompetence, propaganda, Disinformation and more lies? 🤔

😱🤢🤮

Just like in 2016 the media is giving you trump again

Dominant leadership style?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If this is true, Americans deserve their fate. America will not survive another 4 years of Trump incompetence, lying, cheating, ignorance, narcissism, hypocrisy, evil, hate WorstPresidentEver MAGA VoteBlueToSaveAmerica VoteBlue

Probably. The American public has proven to be 40÷ morons. Sorry, but the worst thing about Trump is realizing how easily Americans were conned by a reality TV star who has been stiffing small businesses and working people since the 1980s.

Who fucking wrote this 🤦🏿‍♂️.

Dear God no

Oh hell no! TrumpGenocide2020

BULLSHIT DON-CON-JOHN-SHITRUMP IS A MERDERER! IN BED WITH RUSSIAN SAUDIS N.KOREA & EVERY COUNTRY HE CAN CON! $2TRILLION DOLLARS TO HIM AND THEM ON THE BACKS OF HARD WORKING AMERICANS!

The 80s psychologists must have studied uneducated, small mined, narrow minded, unemployed individuals who were easily scared by their own shadows. I know there are majority of us who will kick Trump to the curb with no hesitation.

How much did trump pay for this slanted bullshit?

Trump doing great job 👏👏🇺🇸

210 days till we vote his worthless, cruel ass the hell out of our Democracy. We SNOWFLAKES are not sheep, we are angry, we are determined and we are ready. We are showing up in mass to Vote Blue and we don’t care what GOP thinks they can pull.

Nope

It must be a small pathetic group... who aren't affected by this pandemic. MuteTrump

Nope.

Lemmings falling over each other to death

Not if their loved ones are sick and dying.

you meant' 'Murikkkans '

Then, let 's hope they take the magic Trump pills early enough. 'Dominant leadership!' Are you shitting me?

Ha ha ha ha wakie wakie IDIOT MORONS!!!

No, I wouldn't trust Trump to babysit my cat!

Fuck that

If so then Americans are to stupid to survive. 😳

just goes to show how dumb most people are.

Except he hasn't done anything but mishandle the problem.

F*ck no.

God forbid

... except he's lying to you...

“Leadership style “.... blaming others & lying isn’t “leading” Do Better

Trump is the Grim Reaper

That’s crazy

Oh Stop!! Seriously, protection

'Americans might actually be more likely to support Trump in November because of his dominant leadership' LET'S FACE IT...HE AIN'T THE ONLY CRAZY .....MF.. IN THE USA. BUT HE'S THE ONLY CRAZY MF...WE'VE HAD AS POTUS

😂 Another wack job article...

Ffs Politico. Ffs. Every time I think you’ve reached rock bottom, you go lower. How are those emails looking right now? Oh that’s right you’re enjoying this.

Bullshit TRUMP is The WORST President that America has ever had, I know that he doesn't have 75 percent of the American voters

People are like turkeys.

Fuck that noise. VoteBlueNoMatterWho

It’s either that or pray Biden selects a super good cabinet, because obviously he will not be calling the shots for long.

Only reason I can imagine explaining it.

ryan_trollip That is BS. I dont think anyone believes this president will protect them...they may say ..dont believe it. People are not stupid..well some are..so be it

Was Eric Trump researching?

Dominant does not equal competent. Trump has shown us his incompetence every time he opens his mouth. I wish we had a leader we could trust in this pandemic.

Not Happening! He is trying to kill Americans

😂🤣 after a long day of work at the clinic pharmacy, the laugh from this article was just what I needed! 🤣😂

People can't be that dumb

Also because there are a lot of very stupid Americans who somehow never see this shitshow for what it is. That is perhaps the most discouraging thing.

😂

Leadership style? Wtf he’s leading us straight to hell

That’s a reality deserving of Dumbfuckistan.

Fat chance

I have a big case of 'ANAL GLAUCOMA' on that! Meaning= I don't see MY A** voting for him!

Not me!

Stop

Bullshit !

There's more mental illness help in the US

Stop.

Most people are not that stupid. Accent on most

Trump or Sanders, take your pick. Biden will never be Prez.

Americans are idiots!

hell no.

Yea, no

I thought this was a story from the Onion.

This is straight garbage

“Leadership”

Shut up

What total bullshit. Why do you print this garbage?

I call Bull Shit!

Fuck

Crazy idiots are exactly what people want during a pandemic eh? Not me... and not anyone I know.

Not quite. The teams were chosen long before Coronavirus. IT'S A MATTER OF WHO WILL SHOW UP TO VOTE.

Anxious fear based people and the media put him in office. Trump's failure to lead and continual lies and growing mental confusion will doom him in November. TrumpIsALoser and is running around naked. Time for a full court press from MSM. Don't repeat 2016.

That could quite possibly the greatest indictment of American stupidity that I’ve ever read. If the average American can’t see this is an incompetent clown show then it’s time to become an ex-Pat

Please stop!

realDonaldTrump marklevinshow I’ve been saying for weeks.... Quarantine, Test and Disinfect..... NOW

Support for his “forceful style of leadership” even when he frequently spouts information that has demonstrably proven to be inaccurate, misleading or flat out false? Where is the national discussion concerning why this works?

How can that be when he lies so much? That's like saying lying is the new American Standard plain and simple, get used it, we all love liars.

goanofpdx I’ll believe it when they can repeat their experimental findings.

Oh for gods sake.....who is saying that?

Over his dead body.

Wrong!!!!

He’s a liar and a manipulative sociopath! realDonaldTrump

BS. Supporting a pathological LIAR makes us feel protected from the TRUTH. Lying does not = leadership. TrumpLiesMatter

Not true he’s a horrible President worst we’ve ever had!

That's what I call Bull Shit!!

Without even the mention of one poll let alone many, this is shameful headline! You want one! I can make one too! Scientific research shows that the 3rd rate web site Politico will be going out of business since it continues stories as fact without any legitimate fact basis!

No

So insanity will be a defense.

Doubtful

Yeah, right, do you feel PROTECTED?

Ah that’s a big fat no. And ridiculous to boot.

Trump will be running against Biden whose chief of staff brilliantly managed another public health crisis. Trump isn't running in a vacuum.

CNNPolitics DNC So TRUE! Dem fails in “intensity” for victory! Dem wants to look so “correct” in mannerisms, posture, rhetoric & we see a facade! America is the Greatest, DONE! Fight Fire with Fire-NOT Water-He is grease/oil Fire! Know TRUTH of THE ENEMY! USA in Political War!

Just buy guns & workout out and stay home! 😘

He’s done neither of the two.

Bullshit media propaganda!

Dominant leadership style as in I refuse to take responsibility. Politico has lost its marbles.

Oh dear god I hope not. I hope people realize how much better off we could’ve been with real leadership beingbackobama

AND THAT IS A WINNER ,A WORLD SERIES WINNER.

That is seriously some dumb shit storyline. Not gonna happen

You’re wrong.

Really pathetic

He helped cause this mess; stuck on stupid!

Or because Biden is a basket case

Nah

Exactly. Or Americans can vote for a fruit fly.

If they’re going to succumb to that way of thinking, they were lost way before this. He’s never protected anyone or anything except himself, and he shows that Every. Single. Day.

But he’s insane. So that’s that.

Nope his ignorance in his handling this crisis should be all we need! adios!

WHAT 'Leadership'

That's be a cold day in hell. The moon would have to crash into the earth. And the oceans would have to dry up before I did that.

Why do you publish such rubbish! Dominant leadership style Really!!! He offers protection for who? His cronies!! Shameful! Your becoming not worth reading anymore!

🤦🏼‍♀️ oh brother

The only chance Biden has is if ( although impossible and probably illegal ) the Democrats can think of a way to keep him off the debate stage or Americans hearing him speak live at length .

The only problem with that theory is empty promises no matter how assuring are just that, empty.

Dominant is not a synonym for cowardly, cruel bully, who has to be challenged by the press and the GOP. His followers are lemmings who will follow him, right up to the moment when he sidesteps the cliff drop. He will be safe, and they will be dead.

Nope nope nope nope nope!!!

Nah. No way.

God, no

Then those Americans are idiots

Politico's reporting is brutal. Considering unfollowing.

What protection? Seriously? He has done more harm than any possible good. The only protection and good realDonaldTrump could do for us now is to resign. The sooner the better before more people die. Maybe we could actually get a handle on this, but only if he is not in charge!

This is garbage content and you know it. Stop.

Nope

Dominant style? It’s abhorrent.

NEVER!

Nope. Not drinking the koolaid. DumpTrump

Yeah. That's a thing...🤭

we are in deep, deep trouble...........

Nope, I am not that afraid.

This is the stupid stuff you tweet when you can beat him

This is a load of BS

Not a chance this time.

Not buying it

Bullshit! That's what Trump is counting on when he ignored warnings about the deathly impact of CV19. It worked for Bush's 9/11, so Republican ldrshp is repeating the same game play. This time it will backfire on them. They failed at minimizing unnecessary deaths!

'...dominant leadership style and his claims of offering protection...' So his big mouth and his lies.

GTFO with this crap

With or without pandemic, he is going to win You ask why? He has done a fabulous job, better than any president in my lifetime Look at his competition. DNC should be tried for elderly abuse with their insidious efforts on JoeBiden nomination DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica

Stupidest heading ever....

They will try any excuse they can to explain the beating Trump's going to bring in November. Fact is, he's a phenomenal potus - and the enemyofthepeople Know it.

Such a dumb headline

You don’t follow a fool.

JoeBiden ?

Rubbish

It is Easter, PassOver and Holy Week. And you have been banging the Election cycle of stupidity since 2019. The same brainwashing and mass indoctrination disease. That disease has cost more lives and money than any other disease.

Dominant leadership? Politico has gone stupidico.

Bullshit
