Because you clearly approve of one country forcibly interfering in the running of another country, so in principle you’d agree that it was okay. Right?
I approve of America being a dominant force in the world. I believe that China's, Venezuela's, and Cuba's socialist/communist forms of government are inferior to America's free market capitalism, as evidenced by the flow of immigration into the United States versus out of the United States and the standard of living that exists in the United States versus the standard of living in countries who have chosen communism or even democratic socialism. I think that Iran's government under the Ayatollahs has created misery and expense for their enemies but more importantly also for their own people. And I reject the idea that in order for America to hold the moral high ground that we must never be paid back for the trillions of dollars we spend ridding the world of people like the Ayatollahs, Xi, Putin, Maduro, Castro, and Saddam Hussein. I suppose if these countries were to keep to themselves and not seek to conquer and establish global communism, terrorism, suicide bombers, nor to import their poverty into the US, that perhaps leaving them alone would be an acceptable path. But the fact is they don't nor can they because communism does not produce a good standard of living. America must win. Capitalism and respect for private property must win.
In what way did Venezuela seek to import poverty into the US, or seek to conquer? I’m really struggling to see how a country that elected a racketeering sex offender to its highest office holds the “moral high ground” on anything. Perhaps you can explain…
Now concerning the divide within the United States, I'd submit that we cannot nor should we keep a union together when half the population says that anything, including political violence and assassination, goes when someone as far to the right as Trump gets elected. We can't work with that. That's not a republic nor is it a democracy. That is a tyrannical minority that must be cast out.
You’re advocating for a break up of the Union and forced expulsion of Americans who don’t agree with you?

Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

Perhaps he's more like an Abraham Lincoln given how many times Democrats have tried to assassinate him. If they ever succeed that's how he'll be remembered.
I disagree, given that Abe never spent as much time and energy as Trump has in trying to thwart the release of evidence about a massive pedophilia ring populated with his friends and associates.

MAGA hates itself. They are the perfect example of everything they complain about.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

When the demand for racism exceeds the supply, Trump steps up in an attempt to disparage the only black President in American history, by dishonestly photoshopping a pic but doing it so badly as to leave the ducks and clouds in the original image in the exact same quantity and location within the altered pic.

MAGA’s weird and racist Obama Derangement Syndrome is unparalleled.

Well, I certainly agree with you that Trump's post about Candace Owens was certainly despicable and vindictive, and depicting her as a "gangster, thug, or crack whore" is totally unfair and unwarranted. But it is certainly true that she is horribly ill-informed and both scientifically and mathematically illiterate and may be of low IQ. She has expressed serious doubt about the reality that the earth is not flat but a rotating globe that is part of a heliocentric solar system and she avidly denies the possibility that NASA or anyone else is telling the truth about ever having sent anyone or anything to the moon or put satellites into orbit around the earth and even the very existence of outer space.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

It’s worth noting that Trump called her “a very smart thinker”. Leaking the audio of Charlie Kirk’s widow seeking to monetise his memorial through merch sales, probably didn’t win her many MAGA friends.
