I think that is shortsighted. There have been many stories that he ran as a lark, a branding scheme, and never expected to win. After that, he never divested himself from his businesses as every other president has once in office. He's made a fortune personally being in office. Just look at his DC hotel for one. But my main take was that he seems far more concerned about the economy - which is of course legit - than people dying. Not legit. He is a man who has no empathy. Surely you can see that?
Yes, many of his accomplishments have been (and are) economy-related. Despite all the many hurdles he's had taking on the Democrats' incessant and partisan need to dispose of him, he's still been able to accomplish a few things: Almost 4 million jobs created since election. More Americans are now employed than ever recorded before in our history. We have created more than 400,000 manufacturing jobs since my election. Manufacturing jobs growing at the fastest rate in more than THREE DECADES. Economic growth last quarter hit 4.2 percent. New unemployment claims recently hit a 49-year low. Median household income has hit highest level ever recorded. African-American unemployment has recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded. Hispanic-American unemployment is at the lowest rate ever recorded. Asian-American unemployment recently achieved the lowest rate ever recorded. Women’s unemployment recently reached the lowest rate in 65 years. Youth unemployment has recently hit the lowest rate in nearly half a century. Lowest unemployment rate ever recorded for Americans without a high school diploma. Under my Administration, veterans’ unemployment recently reached its lowest rate in nearly 20 years. Almost 3.9 million Americans have been lifted off food stamps since the election. The Pledge to America’s Workers has resulted in employers committing to train more than 4 million Americans. We are committed to VOCATIONAL education. 95 percent of U.S. manufacturers are optimistic about the future—the highest ever. Retail sales surged last month, up another 6 percent over last year. Signed the biggest package of tax cuts and reforms in history. After tax cuts, over $300 billion poured back in to the U.S. in the first quarter alone. As a result of our tax bill, small businesses will have the lowest top marginal tax rate in more than 80 years. Helped win U.S. bid for the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Helped win U.S.-Mexico-Canada’s united bid for 2026 World Cup. Opened ANWR and approved Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines. Record number of regulations eliminated. Enacted regulatory relief for community banks and credit unions. Obamacare individual mandate penalty GONE. My Administration is providing more affordable healthcare options for Americans through association health plans and short-term duration plans. Last month, the FDA approved more affordable generic drugs than ever before in history. And thanks to our efforts, many drug companies are freezing or reversing planned price increases. We reformed the Medicare program to stop hospitals from overcharging low-income seniors on their drugs—saving seniors hundreds of millions of dollars this year alone. Signed Right-To-Try legislation. Secured $6 billion in NEW funding to fight the opioid epidemic. We have reduced high-dose opioid prescriptions by 16 percent during my first year in office. Signed VA Choice Act and VA Accountability Act, expanded VA telehealth services, walk-in-clinics, and same-day urgent primary and mental health care. Increased our coal exports by 60 percent; U.S. oil production recently reached all-time high. United States is a net natural gas exporter for the first time since 1957. Withdrew the United States from the job-killing Paris Climate Accord. Cancelled the illegal, anti-coal, so-called Clean Power Plan. Secured record $700 billion in military funding; $716 billion next year. NATO allies are spending $69 billion more on defense since 2016. Process has begun to make the Space Force the 6th branch of the Armed Forces. Confirmed more circuit court judges than any other new administration. Confirmed Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch and nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Withdrew from the horrible, one-sided Iran Deal. Moved U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Protecting Americans from terrorists with the Travel Ban, upheld by Supreme Court. Issued Executive Order to keep open Guantanamo Bay. Concluded a historic U.S.-Mexico Trade Deal to replace NAFTA. And negotiations with Canada are underway as we speak. Reached a breakthrough agreement with the E.U. to increase U.S. exports. Imposed tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum to protect our national security. Imposed tariffs on China in response to China’s forced technology transfer, intellectual property theft, and their chronically abusive trade practices. Net exports are on track to increase by $59 billion this year. Improved vetting and screening for refugees, and switched focus to overseas resettlement. We have begun BUILDING THE WALL. Republicans want STRONG BORDERS and NO CRIME. Democrats want OPEN BORDERS which equals MASSIVE CRIME.
Your talking points need a bit of updating. As just one of many examples: New unemployment claims just today hit an all-time record high. barfo
Problem? What problem? You do know his approval ratings are going up, right? OK, obviously, that's not a tell-all sign, but it's certainly not hurting the man any. Hey, bring MarAzul back. I could use some company. LOL
Well, yay, you for bringing relative and pertinent info. We can always count on barfo to continually step up his game!
No. It wasn't. Posters in here can't help but trot out Trump. I'm simply responding. Leave Trump out of the conversation, and so will I.
It was. It is in response to some liberal created threads taunting Trump voters. (Some of which were closed by us moderators). I get it, your trying to get the liberals here back for those threads. Not, a sound way to do it though. It's kind of backfiring.
For the record Joe was not my choice, but he will win the nomination. I will vote for him over Trump.
Oh please...just knock it off and stop with the "who me?" BS. You once again created an ill-advised thread to stir shit up and once again blew up in your face...live with it.
Defending Trump is unbelievable. Like, creepy unbelievable. ABM: the issue you have ever cared about is right to life and your boy has almost no regard for human lives and wants to unleash American workers in two weeks so people can go to work and if you get infected suck it up. It is the single most hypocritical thing I have ever seen. Don’t touch that fetus! Hey gramps, do you mind dying so we can go work?
Look, my premise was that the Dems may very well be scrambling to get Cuomo into the mix and that I thought he had a very good speech on Sunday - and took notice - and that if our next President were a Democrat, I'd ABSOLUTELY wish it were Cuomo over that half-pint Biden. Go back and look at my posts. That's EXACTLY what I was saying. Besides, I'm about a 1 against 30 ratio in here. I should have the right to say whatever I want within the forum code of conduct rules. Nothing is backfiring.
