No matter what you think of Trump the person, he has so far led us to much greater peace and prosperity than we had before him.

* No new wars. In fact, Trump has been extricating our military from unwise incursions, in Syria, for example
* Record stock market highs
* Tax cuts for the large majority of US citizens
* Dramatic increase in US manufacturing jobs
* The economy has achieved the longest positive job-growth streak ever
* Black unemployment at record low
* Overall unemployment lowest in nearly 50 years
* Repealed Obamacare mandate for the self-employed to pay private insurers whatever they demand
* Greatly improved relations between US and N. Korea, and N. and S. Korea too
* Confronted China and other countries about unfair trade deals which were sucking jobs out of the US
* ISIS-held territory wiped out
* Signed executive order requiring universities to protect free speech on campus or lose federal funding
* Signed order requiring hospitals to publish price lists

None of these are even debatable. They are objective facts.

Trump will go down in history as one of our very worst Presidents, unless he does something really bold (and smart) like instituting a national health care system. It is something that only a rogue republican could pull off.


That national health care system is starting to look better everyday especially since Trump’s Group Health Plan Rules Were Struck Down as an ACA ‘End-Run’

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-03-28/trump-s-group-health-plan-rules-struck-down-as-aca-end-run

Maybe some "rouge" republicans can actually put together an alternative to the ACA while they are at - might be a good thing to have since they have nothing right now, except that super secret health care plan in one of the desk drawers of the president's desk in the oval office a certain Trump supporter from the greater Miami alluded to, I believe that was late 2018 or early 2019.

Actually no, the melt down came at the hands of the Democrats after they took back the house and Senate in 2006. THEY crashed the economy.

Same thing that will happen now, after the Dems taking the House in 2018.

Actually I am having a tough time believing he actually did something like that - that is not the type of thing that Potus would let pass without attention and letting everyone know what a humanitarian he is/was - over and over and over.

Who was it that was quoted the other day saying that Trump was bragging to people that he watched the Twin Towers fall with his gold telescope ?

THis exemplifies everything you could ever want to know about Trump supporters.

"Hey, it's not really a lie - I'm just implying something that makes no sense. "

Perhaps I should complement you for at least not covering the year 2009, which is what most Trump Cucks would do.
91   marcus   2019 Apr 6, 2:21pm  

They just love their lies. They take pride in lying.

Maybe it's about what they are trying to cover. Better to be seen as someone that would lie like this than to say the real reason they like Trump so much.

Remember - this is supposedly a wonderful and strong economy, and our deficit for 2018 was 1.2 trillion dollars.

President Trump’s job approval ratings currently sits at a robust 53 percent, a full seven points higher than Barack Obama at this same point his presidency.

This is an excellent point, we are living on borrowed money and t-RUMP is behaving as any good politician - kicking the can down the road. Nonsense started by GWBush who lowered taxes while starting a few wars, and continued by Obama who kept borrowing money even as economy recovered.

At some point economy has to come crashing down, and fix of borrowing more will not work same way it worked in 2009.

At least Trump is trying to stop the influx of illegal foreigners who will suck up $$ in the form of government benefits. They've bankrupted California already.

Not engaging in wars may save some money down the road.

I believe some things may happen in the area of budgets in the next election cycle.

Foreign poor and American poor are spending problems because of healthcare costs they don't pay a dime for.

How about the Pentagon ? Poor people still pay sales taxes...
101   clambo   2019 Apr 13, 10:26pm  

The foreign poor are net takers of taxpayer money, the only taxes they actually pay would be sales taxes on their consumption and social security and medicare.

The Pentagon of course has too large a budget and I would start cutting it. A start would be a 5% cut in pensions to retired military lifers.

I would also cut the vast army of federal workers, and cut their pay and pensions.

At least Trump told the foreigners that we are not going to pay to defend them; NATO is going to have to pull its own weight. So will S. Korea.

They heard you. The new proposal will cut the pension by 10%. They will also be introducing a thrift plan.

Obama didn't create the economy. It was going downhill, anemically. The only credit he gets is for helping steer it out of depression early on via huge cash injection. After that he just went stupid with crony bailouts and idiotic regulations. Then he went all SJW on America. Obama kept on bringing more regulation, which caused businesses to hold back, he kept on promising more taxes which scared business. He lastly spent at least 2 years promoting transgenderism (for whatever fucking reason i don't know). Dumbest president in my lifetime, him and Bush Jr were both very dumb.

Trump on the other hand, is one of the smartest presidents we had. He actually made America better, much better.

AOC's credit rating ? You really gonna go there ?

That ain't nothin. Republicans made a con artist/huckster/grifter who has declared bankruptcy multiple times in the past 20 years, POTUS.

And speaking of credit ratings, one of the stronger hypotheses about Trumps Russia connection is that Russia was the only place TRump could borrow money after defaulting on so much debt to America's biggest banks.
108   HeadSet   2019 Apr 15, 2:07pm  

stronger hypotheses about Trumps Russia connection

If Trump has a "Russia connection," then why is Trump going so much against Russian interests in Venezuela, Syria, and the North Sea gas pipeline? Trump not helping Russia much in Ukraine either, nor helping Russia by forcing NATO countries to boost military spending. That "Trump-Russia connection" is grabbing at straws. Guess you don't want see those ridiculous meme cartoons go to waste.

Trump not being favorable to Russian interests in international relations doesn't mean that he has no conflicts of interest with them. In fact, if conflicts of interest are there, it would be a good reason for Trump to go out of his way making sure that he does not appear to be favoring Russia.

Is this the polar opposite of being "woke."

So, these possible conflicts of interest cause Trump to go against Russia at every turn, just for the optics? Bad statesmanship on Putin's part.

Marcus, I'm talking objective facts.

Record low unemployment (especially black unemployment), record high stocks, just a booming economy all around.

Just FYI Patrick, the msm has some people so delusional that despite what the numbers show and despite what we can empirically measure, they think the US economy is doing poorly. I have multiple co workers that will not acknowledge the unemployment rates, have no clue whatsoever about gdp growth, and when I explain to them rising wages, they think it’s due to minimum wage increases.

What’s worse is literally nothing can sway them. They actually won’t listen or read what the facts are. And that’s sad.

Why is it that when you look at all the graphs it just looks like a continuation of all the 6 year trends that Obama established ?

Also, if the economy is "booming" why is the 2018 deficit is barely less than deficits when the recession was at it's worst ?

I get it that republicans don't worry about deficits when republicans are President, but this is by far the most unprecedented aspect of our current economy.

I wonder why the scariest objective fact of them all doesn't bother you at all ?

I think it bothers most conservatives. And yet no matter who we vote for, or if the candidate wins, or really whoever gets in, we still get huge deficits. The Tea Party was our big push to try to get deficits under control, but it accomplished little besides deepening the divides in Congress. If you have a fucking solution, I’d like to hear it! And it had better be good, because you know on this site it will be critiqued.

Bernie is discussing Medicare for all, which is hardly a cost-cutting measure.
