Doing this on a phone isn't the easiest, so later tonight I'll dive in properly.You need to look at econ figures in context, the low rates of unemployment are not Trump's doing, they've been coming down since long before he was elected:
The trade deals he is making are fantastic? Can you name some? I'm not aware of any trade deals the US has signed since he came to the presidency, he's instead been ending them. The TPP was not just about trade, it was about trying to retain open trade in the Pacific as China is looking to do otherwise. He's also putting NAFTA under the hammer and he's threatened other allies and raised tariffs (justifiably or not). So I'm not sure what trade deals you're seeing him do.
Regards North Korea, he hasn't done anything that other Presidents haven't done - other than sitting across the table from Kim (and praising some one who executes and imprisons children). Clinton tried to engage and failed, Bush tried to engage and failed. We've been here before numerous times and Trump hasn't actually achieved anything yet. Not to say that he won't but you need to see this in context, this has all be done before and nothing has yet shifted from the same old same old.
Please do. Saves me ineloquently trying to do so.Oh yes, walking away from the JCPOA, not signing the G7 communique, allowing Russia to intervene in the election and defending them afterwards out of fear that it would undermine his victory. Cheapening the office with childish twitter squabbles and arguing over the size of inauguration crowds, undermining the constitution by saying that illegal immigrants shouldn’t be dealt with under the law but by martial practices, undermining the electoral system by claiming that if he lost the election was rigged but if he won it was valid (ignoring what Russia did).
I’m sure there will be more to add soon.
He's not at all, actually. He is pursuing very different policies and pushing very different economic legislation to Obama. Economic changes take a long time to take effect, good or bad. But they do have an immediate impact on fairness, as the changes so far have been to give loads of money to the rich and deprive tens of millions of people of health care. The US is a deeply unequal society and Trump is making it far worse.Doing this on a phone isn't the easiest, so later tonight I'll dive in properly.
That's great that current statistics started before Trump, things are looking up. But he's continuing these trends, keeping them going. So where's he made mistakes? He's continuing the trend set by the people everyone loves and that makes him the bad guy, or someone who's not achieving anything. Everyone set the bar so high apparently, and he's matching it. Why the hate? It's just silly.
You need to pay more attention to this stuff. Tariffs are universally hated by economists as they are simply taxes on disfavoured products or countries, making these more expensive and difficult at the expense of the people in your economy who need those goods. And then the countries that you're trading with retaliate by putting tariffs on your goods in turn. So you buy less from them, and they buy less from you, exporters in both markets lose business and pay more to the government for no benefit. China is making no offers, and has instead imposed massive tariffs in return. It's voodoo economics.Keep in mind I'm still a young fella who's experience in politics consists of knowing Hawke likes beer and women. Trade. OK, maybe not trade deals, but I'm talking vaguely about tarrifs and other trade related stuff. Take Canada and steel, Toyota isn't going to keep manufacturing in Canada and will come back to the US. 25% tarrif on sending steel over to Canada then another 25% bringing the cars back, why would they continue? Cheaper to manufacture in the US. Trade with China, the offers China are making to avoid these tarrifs are pretty yuge.
Things aren't "not entirely resolved", they are no different. Kim just promised what he and his father and grandfather have promised before. The risk of war is no more or less than before. I have no idea what you're talking about in the second half of this paragraph, are you talking about the 2000 children separated at the border by the administration and for whom they don't have a plan to reunite with their parents?So he meets Kim, everyone says he's too aggressive to make peace, gunna start a war, then suddenly there's no war and everyone says he's being too nice. What do they want? So things haven't been entirely resolved yet, but first steps have been taken, and it's not good enough. You wanna talk about people that hurt children, look closely at who's being indicted and for what lately. Who are they all tied to? What are they for?
He has literally admitted on twitter that fake news is just how he describes news he doesn't like. Trump is the least honest president for whom records exist. He lies out of habit, on easily disprovable topics, and because he's not held to account by his party whatsoever.I just don't understand the hate. Why is everybody so up in arms about him? He still hasn't done anything bad, yet he's evil. NY Times did that dodgy photoshop cover, admit "yeah we done goofed on that one" and no one cares and goes on to believe everything they're fed. Fake news, and yet everyone just uses that term against Trump. It's literally fake news, as in the news is fake, not real, made up, false, lies. The people lap it up, makes them feel safe.
Sad.
Ya gotta admit, that was funny.
I do have an idea of the corruption, actually, you should look this stuff up before trying to play the "they're all the same" game. Love or hate him, the only real scandals of the Obama presidency were small stuff and have yielded no indictments. Don't let conspiracy theories like Benghazi (zero indictments, 7 congressional inquiries) mislead you on this one. Pay attention to convictions, not partisan shit talking.Ahhh the nepotism. Because that wasn't present in the Obama years? Think carefully over that one and look into it. You think there's corruption now, hoooooly. But, I'm not getting conspiracy theory in here, not what this is here for.
The reason they have all backed away is because it was a dumb promise that gained nothing but a bunch of dead protesters and further ill-will. ISIS were in a corner well before Trump was in the picture, courtesy of Obama. If your media isn't covering this, change your media.Anyone wanna talk about Jerusalem? Every president walks into their campaign and makes that promise, then nothing. It's expected, sadly. Trump says it, does it, then gets in the shit for doing it! Anyone heard from ISIS lately? Media doesn't cover anything.
The society we're discussing has Republican majorities in the white house, both houses of congress and the supreme court, covering every major organ of government. The fact is that they are more of a right-wing political culture than ever, and this is not in debate anywhere. The democrats, the relatively left-wing party, are somewhat to the right of our Liberal party. The problem here is that he is pretty much as he is reported to be, which is to say petulant, childish, vengeful, lazy and ill-informed. He's doing one of the toughest jobs in the world, being likeable as an entertainer isn't one of the core skills.I just don't understand. I get ya poodle, some of those qualities don't translate well, some just aren't good at all, and we're in more of a leftist society than ever which isn't helping. The guy comes off as the rich bigot we're all told he is, yet 20 years ago when he said the same things he said in his campaign, they loved him and wanted him. The media liked him, so the people liked him. And Colbert, Jesus how can anyone actually take that seriously. Find me the episode where he talks up how much he loves Trump. It's been taken down everywhere, funny that.
Seriously, your post was nothing more than one long stream of excuse-making for the very real flaws of the Trump administration. The really sad thing is that we can't even really have a conversation until you acknowledge that the "MSM" actually does report reasonably accurately on what this administration does. We can argue about bias, but "fake news" is just sticking your head in the ground and hoping for the best.Also, the word bigot is the funniest thing that's happened in this whole presidency.
You have no idea the corruption that was already in there then. "We will stop him". Muh, Russia.
I thought less Harley's was a good thing?

Something about being leftist
Other thing about Harleys.
Pics?Also, Obama suggested meeting Kim, and was literally arse raped by the media and GOP.
