I think the farmers missed Obama. They've been hurt a lot by the tariffs. So much so that they are now getting a $12 billion bail out at your expense with tax dollars. So much for laissez-faire and free markets. Small businesses also miss Obama and his no trade wars policy, and they aren't getting a bail out.

The long-term economic consequences of the trade war aren't going to be good. America is already a second-class economy. Sure, it's large, but that's only because of consumption, which will eventually be curtailed because of our trade deficit and the eventual fall of the petro-dollar. Eventually either oil will run out or become obsolete. Either way, there won't be anything left to prop up the dollar, and America will start to experience Greek-like austerity. So a trade war is the worst thing we can do. We need China more than China needs us.

At least Trump is taking a zero-tolerance policy to illegal immigration. If parents take their children with them across the borders illegally, then they will have to choose between being separated from them or being incarcerated in a prison with them. No more using children as human shields to subvert the law like the Democrats advocate. But other than that, you really can't make a case that Trump is a better president than Obama. That's just delusional. They are both mediocre, but at least Obama wasn't dangerously unpredictable. I think the only reason the right likes Trump is that the left hates him. Remember, he was best buds with the Clintons not so long ago.



Hell, Trump is just a less subtle version of Bill Clinton.

The small farmers aren't the ones who will get the bailout.

The laughter never dies.

There's something sad about laughing at people who either died or just got so fed up with you that they left years ago. Are you really so hurt by them that you still think about them years later? It's time to move on with your life. Politics brings out the pettiness in people, especially in America.

You know, it's the 17th anniversary of 9/11. We should push aside politics and take a moment to thank George W. Bush for recently pursuing Osama bin Laden and ultimately having him killed and fed to the fishes. Say what you will about Bush, at least he didn't let that criminal scumbag go free like soft-on-terrorism Obama. Trump would be proud.

Don't be so hard on Obama. Lets give him credit for the good things he did. He was no softee when dealing with Rocket man Kim. Obama quickly put a gun to his head, and freaked him out. Rocket man was on his knees sobbing like a fat little baby. No one but Obama could have done it. It takes balls of steel to do that.

Apparently the latest DUmmie/DailyKos conspiracy theory is that thousands of Puerto Ricans died in the hurricane, and it was all Trump's Fault.

Nevermind they found tons of aid rotting in containers a few days ago that the local authorities never distributed.

If only he went after the Saudis instead of sucking up to them even while the shit was coming down OMG!

I was sarcastically bringing up Bush's failure and the fact that Obama cleaned up his mess. Bush failed both on 9/11 and afterwards to bring bin Laden to justice.

Strategist caught on, but then made a lame attempt to make Trump out as the solution to North Korea, which quite frankly is a perfect illustration of how delusional Trump supporters are.

I'll miss The moment you got Bin Laden.
