The Trump Presidency

a reply to: mntnhooger

Everything you just pointed out are things not stuff the president has control over. That would be big corp. So you really like it when big corp gives you a hand out and you should know they will take it away. That it is how it always works.
Now there is some truth to what you said but not true in the sense you believe it to be.
Do you really want the government to have control of all those aspects in your life?

FYI worldly event are the cause of everything you mentioned. And NO Trump is not the world president.
Now if Reagan was still POTUS I would have a different tune. He was the world president and the greatest president this country has ever had imho.

Thank you.

Probably closest to the truth of anything else I’ve read on this site.

I’ve never seen delusions like this

Ironic.

You continue to support and make excuses for Trump but call those who see him for who he is delusional.

Trump is a grifter, a liar, and a weak man who gets submissive with someone like Putin.

Sure Trump acts tough behind behind the keyboard, but he is tol scared to debate Chris Christie and others who will call him out on his lies opting for an interview with someone who will praise him and give him easy weighted questions.

I cant wait until the 2024 election is over and Trump's quest to become king is over.

Neither of us like Trump, jrod. Lets start with that premise, 'k?

But the difference between us is this: you dont care if the US juggernaut govt gets to play outside the constitution as long as they take one man you despise down. You are an 'ends justify the means' kinda guy.

And that is far far worse.

much worse is that there are so many people who fall for this man. trump is acting solely out of megalomania, greed and hunger for power. by doing so, he has unconsciously set something in motion - he now serves as a figurehead for extremists of all kinds. he has further fanned the flames of distrust in politicians, democracy and science. that is why right-wing radicals around the globe worship him.

Trump is fighting to represent the millions that voted for him. And the millions more in 2020 over 2024.

It depends on how you view HIM for you to detemine why he fights. His voters believe he fights for America. I believe that over Joe Biden all day long. Joe Biden is corrupted by his masters, his foreign handlers that bought him YEARS ago.

You can swap all the names around in what you just wrote, and it is just as true, as well.

How? Trump is a newcomer to politics. Biden has been corrupt via govt for 40 years.

Big difference.

a reply to: malte85

You clamor all you want and use all these numbers from democrats shutting the country down and pin the blame on Trump all you want and this nation will still be smart enough to know you're full of crap. On top of that, EVERYBODY outside of Megan Rapinoe and other dudes like him hate the democrats now. Y'all better hope you don't get caught cheating this time because you'll need to overcompensate even more to beat Trump in 2024. Y'all are gonna need Biden to get 125 million votes to pull this one off.

Trump is not a newcomer to politics, he just wasn't successful until 2016.

In 1987 he placed full page political advertisements (weighted towards Democratic party policies) in three major newspapers. At the time, people questioned if he was going to campaign.

He ran a full Presidential campaign in 2000, on the platform of The Reform Party, but withdrew when it became obvious he had no chance of winning.

He speculated publicly in 2012 that he should run for President and was a speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). CPAC: Donald Trump says he’s considering 2012 presidential run - LA Times

In 2013, he again spoke at the CPAC. Donald Trump 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference March 15, 2013

Trump has been politically active and financially committed to gain office, for at least 35 years.

Well, that's quite a stretch there. Why am I surprised?

Im politically active too. My son is considering running for city council. My ex worked for a CA State Senator. Does that make me a politician too?


FFS.

Yes, but the devision and tribalism was started long before Trump thought about running for office. The Democrats have split people appeat as they had planed to. Our current devider in chief proves it.

You are partially right.

The division that I noticed (and I was living in AZ at the time) started with President Obama (whom I stood in line and showed my license to vote for).
It seemed to me in all the circles I was in, the real divide was over the ACA. Republicans didn’t seem to want it (paying for others and their premiums going up). Dems did.

I personally was for all Americans having healthcare. I was lucky enough, and had good jobs that offered really good healthcare most of my life. Not everyone does, and people fall on hard times.

Then the working class got to pay triple for premiums, copay’s, FSA making you send them the recipes for your money?
The burden seems to have trickled down to the working man. Insurance companies and Drs are not in the business to lose money.

The problem are the greedy companies, Too much lobbying for anything to change. Then came Derek Chauvin (stupid a&&) and the riots began. More division.

The reality is: jobs moved overseas due to corporate tax rate cuts. We need to have a better plan than inviting millions of unknowns over to this sinking country.

There are so many people collecting SSDI that are under the age of 40, yet there are men and women working into their mid 70s to survive. China allows their people to retire at 55 so the younger population can fill the roles.
This country takes from the workers to give to the lazy. (Some people really need it), but if you’re 27 yrs old, have a support dog, brand new car, buy makeup every week and go on vacations, you can get a damn job!

If the government is sooo worried about green new deal, why don’t you cut the work week down, less people on the road, less energy?
I really worry for the younger generations.


I now see the divide as follows:

People getting checks from SSDI = Dems
Working people paying for the free checks = Republicans


What the Dems haven’t figured out yet is your gravy train is going to end when you allow so many people into your country to partake in your benefits.

They need to make working profitable/worth it again. I actually had a lineman who was installing internet in my place last year (subcontractor) sit on my floor and tell me he didn’t know what to do; his s/v told him to go to another job, but he didn’t have enough gas to get there.

Gas, another problem, when gas price increase so do the cost of everything in the stores! People don’t seem to understand that. I wonder how did they even get licenses?

Well Biden sold most of our reserves to China? Think about that! You really think he has our best interests? No, he only cares to send Trillions to Ukraine to kill people and cover his crimes and strategically position our military over there 👎🏻 not to mention resource grab!

To be fair, you people would be the masters at getting conned?
Experts at megalomania, and power hungry leaders.
Also to be fair trump didn’t march people into gas chambers.
Your view may be skewed….

Can you explain to me how an absence of qualifications are supposed to qualify one for the most responsible position in the world?

Lol
Foreigners are always confused about actual legal requirements.
In summary:

Be a natural-born citizen of the United States

Be at least 35 years old

Have been a resident of the United States for 14 years

That’s it.

The only qualifications for a POTUS are described in the constitution. The people get to decide who is qualified and who isn't beyond that.

But you changed the subject away from your incorrect description of Trump being a politician before he ran for POTUS.

LOL.

It's in your Constitution that you can elect someone totally incapable of governing, and based on their ability to win a popularity contest?

I think I can see what is going wrong!

What the media provides as a "answer' to my economy, unemployment, daily living, crime statistics, thoughts, ect. I do not take with a grain of salt. I can tell you that since Biden has been in office, prices of everything have inflated outrageously, my health insurance premiums have gone up, gas has gone off the charts, interest rates have gone way up and we are sending outrageous amount of money overseas to fight a war that is not even ours. How about helping our own people first. As far as the the influx of immigrants coming here, yah, they are even getting bussed into Ventura because I have seen it with my own eyes. I am not against immigrants coming here, but if they are allowed to come here, how about requiring some sort of job or stability when they get here? I know people think Trump is a racist and he was an uncontrollable mouth, but honestly, I look at how the country is run and I tell you, I felt safer when Trump was in office. Crime is ridiculous and here in California, criminals are almost welcomed here with open arms.
