At this moment, this Presidency is not going well

[Norman]

The U.S. is doing very well compared to all previous human history (as are many other countries). The crisis in America is 'ésprit'. Not religious spirit, not team spirit, not nationalist spirit; simple, plain human spirit, enthusiasm for a goal. We are far too fixated (as is the rest of the modern world) on the so-called material. We relegate the kind of spirit that art represents to second or third place. Creativity is the crowning attribute of our race (human). We need to create a more perfect Union/Republic, in which what has true value is valued.

That’d be good and maybe, perhaps, not go out of our way to be needlessly cruel to kids that we detain or kidnap if you prefer…give them toothpaste, soap and the flu shot. Its what a great nation does.

Why are you not supporting the wall? That would keep all the kids out. They wouldn't even need to take the rape-road where future democrat voting base rapes them.

 

[Leo123]

Much to your dismay right comrade?
Go fuck yourself you leftist bigot. Trump is doing a good job, and if that sociopath hag you supported had won, we'd be in the 11th year of the longest recession ever.

Powerful, impressive stuff there.

Perhaps you can point out some specific areas of disagreement.
.

The article was not written in good faith so why would it warrant a reasonable answer? If you can't see that you need some glasses. It's a full on attack piece on Trump and nothing more.

By the way, why is there no link? I suspect the link would reveal the not so reasonable origins of the author....

It's not an article, there is no link, that's just me.
.

Ok, well then you need to learn the difference between a reasoned argument and an attack piece fueled by TDS.

Yeah, I know, fake news.

You're certainly welcome to point out where I'm wrong.
.

OK, the economy is doing well, American producers are even now going elsewhere for their products. China's economy is already suffering. The world is finally respecting the U.S. instead of laughing at US. Mexico is paying its troops to help guard the border and is also not receiving American dollars as much from illegal alien workers. Trump has never said anything that can be accurately labeled racist. That is a lie the Democrats (who actually ARE racist) like to tell because they are mostly Neo-Marxists who always accuse others of doing the same bad shit they are doing. It's the Communist way.

The GDP is a 2.1%. Average. After exploding the deficit to pay for it.

The rest is talk radio platitudes, in response to my clear points and specifics. And there is no evidence "the world is finally respecting the US again". None.

This is Trumpworld, alternate universe, talk radio fantasy.

They are not supporting the wall because leftists (which is most of the Democrat party these days) along with their sycophant leftist media, LIKE the suffering of human beings because they can stand on the dead bodies and suffering bodies and use them to advance their political ambitions. The more suffering the better for them. This is why they are blocking the building of a wall. Remember, 'kids in cages' was originally brought to us by Obama and the Democrat regime.

The leftist Democrats have never given a shit about children. In fact, this is a great example of the Democrat, Neo-Marxist typical propaganda of blaming others for the bad shit they themselves are doing. Obama BUILT those cages and put kids in them. Then, when the Democrat controlled media thought nobody would remember, they published pictures of those kids and tried to pin it on Trump. In fact, a lot of brain dead Democrats actually believe that lie to this day.

Not that it really matters to some, but we're not really in a good place at the moment. Things could turn, and most of us continue to hope for the best. But, as of early morning, August 24, here we are:

The Economy
While the unemployment figures look very good on their face, they are clearly not translating to growth, especially at the cost of the exploding deficit that temporarily goosed the economy. GDP is currently at 2.1%, but we can certainly remain hopeful that it will reverse course and increase. There have been spotty signs that growth-push inflation may be ticking up, but the trade war is clearly effecting sentiment (not to mention data) at a terribly delicate moment. Right now, this is a decent economy, at best, with consumers lacking the resources to push it and their household debt above 2008 levels.

Trade With China
Our President doesn't appear to understand that China is paying attention. They realize quite well that he's trying to bully them into a trade deal, like an eight-year old boy trying to bully another child out of their lunch at the playground. Meanwhile, Trump exhibits zero (0) understanding of the fact that China can theoretically out-wait us here, since they don't have those pesky elections to worry about all that much if the populace gets pissed off. While anything is certainly possible, it's tough to imagine China making any long term commitments until after they see who they're dealing with in January of 2021.

International Relations
Our President has not only isolated himself and his country from the rest of the world with his actions, but also with his petulant behaviors. Even for those of us who have done all we can to lower our standards and expectations of his child-like behavior, the thought of this goofy, pointless dust-up with Denmark (Denmark!) makes us wonder if this man can get along with anyone outside his base. Meanwhile, the crazy fat kid in North Korea is shooting off rockets like he's in charge of the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Like China, the world is clearly looking ahead, with hope, to November 2020.

The Wall
Trump's signature, paranoid, shallow, hyper-simplistic election issue piece isn't exactly flying up with checks to pay for it coming in from Mexico. Even with the White House, House and Senate, this President wasn't able to do much more than slap up a few new two by fours to fix some areas of our existing wall. Any completely "new" wall is spotty at best, and now he's ready to steal cash from one place to placate his base with a few miles of a much less Trumpish wall here and there. Gee, great, so much for that idea. I guess "Build! The! Wall!" could still serve as a standby rally chant when needed.

Race
Well, examining this topic is most likely a waste of time here, since there are many on this board who are telling us that racism no longer exists, or it's fake news, or that if you don't show up to work wearing a white hood you can't be a racist. What a disaster. And minorities are supposed to ignore all of it, because the unemployment rate is down at the moment. While the sycophants continue to run interference for the President Who Doesn't Know Who David Duke is, the rest of the country and the rest of the world are simply not buying the bullshit. But it sure sounds good on talk radio.

The silver lining? By far the most "successful" component of the Trump years will probably turn out to be the courts. The SC is in good shape for them, and they now have the added bonus of hoping that Ruth is quickly ravaged by cancer and dies soon. Ditto (no pun intended) for the lower courts, the nominations of which don't make much news but sure look like Sean Hannity picked 'em.

Could the economy turn back up? Yes, definitely, hopefully, but some kind of GOOD trade deal with China is now pretty much mandatory for that to happen. The Courts are the Courts. They'll probably be able to gather enough Lego™ blocks to build enough of a wall somewhere to keep talk radio and the base happy. International Relations? Race Relations? Pffffft. Who cares. Fake news.
.

Perhaps your glass is half empty, Dotard, I see it as half full and getting fuller every day. Just as with the stock market, you have your ups and your downs. You just have to take the good with the bad and be patient. Gee, if you think things are bad now, you must have been ripping your hair out 8 years ago under Obumma.

'Exploding the deficit' is nothing but a Democrat talking point. You can hear that exact same phrase everywhere in the leftist media and out of the mouths of radical, TDS Democrats which, apparently, is all you listen to. You should try accessing other media sources like talk radio, Fox, OAN, PJ Media, Hannity, Mark Levin, etc. You sound like a leftist, Democrat, Neo-Marxist parrot.

THE ECONOMY: It goes up and down.
TRADE WITH CHINA: Fuck China. The Tariffs are hitting them at least 4X harder than us, and sooner or later they are going to crack, give in, concede, or be badly damaged as we restructure or trade elsewhere. This is a huge fundamental shift in the planet and will take time.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: We are finding out a lot of our "friends" were only fair weather friends. Now that the USA is asking them to put up their fair share, we are finding out many aren't really our friends. We'll get by. Make new friends. Don't see too many of them worrying about losing OUR friendship!
THE WALL: Slowly getting built piece by piece despite everything the Dems can do to block it.
RACE: Only an issue where the race-baiters want to make it an issue. If you have the moxy, the opportunities are there for you.

Meanwhile, the crazy fat kid in North Korea is shooting off rockets like he's in charge of the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Like China, the world is clearly looking ahead, with hope, to November 2020.

The Wall
Trump's signature, paranoid, shallow, hyper-simplistic election issue piece isn't exactly flying up with checks to pay for it coming in from Mexico. Even with the White House, House and Senate, this President wasn't able to do much more than slap up a few new two by fours to fix some areas of our existing wall. Any completely "new" wall is spotty at best, and now he's ready to steal cash from one place to placate his base with a few miles of a much less Trumpish wall here and there. Gee, great, so much for that idea. I guess "Build! The! Wall!" could still serve as a standby rally chant when needed.

Race
Well, examining this topic is most likely a waste of time here, since there are many on this board who are telling us that racism no longer exists, or it's fake news, or that if you don't show up to work wearing a white hood you can't be a racist. What a disaster. And minorities are supposed to ignore all of it, because the unemployment rate is down at the moment. While the sycophants continue to run interference for the President Who Doesn't Know Who David Duke is, the rest of the country and the rest of the world are simply not buying the bullshit. But it sure sounds good on talk radio.

The silver lining? By far the most "successful" component of the Trump years will probably turn out to be the courts. The SC is in good shape for them, and they now have the added bonus of hoping that Ruth is quickly ravaged by cancer and dies soon. Ditto (no pun intended) for the lower courts, the nominations of which don't make much news but sure look like Sean Hannity picked 'em.

Could the economy turn back up? Yes, definitely, hopefully, but some kind of GOOD trade deal with China is now pretty much mandatory for that to happen. The Courts are the Courts. They'll probably be able to gather enough Lego™ blocks to build enough of a wall somewhere to keep talk radio and the base happy. International Relations? Race Relations? Pffffft. Who cares. Fake news.

Perhaps your glass is half empty, Dotard, I see it as half full and getting fuller every day. Just as with the stock market, you have your ups and your downs. You just have to take the good with the bad and be patient. Gee, if you think things are bad now, you must have been ripping your hair out 8 years ago under Obumma.

Another one who can't address my clear and specific posts with clear and specific responses.

Platitudes, insults and Obama. Par for the course.

Holy crap, that must be 25 of you by now.
.

I DID, Moron. Can't help you're an idiot. Need it SPELLED OUT FOR YOU?

THE ECONOMY: It goes up and down.
TRADE WITH CHINA: Fuck China. The Tariffs are hitting them at least 4X harder than us, and sooner or later they are going to crack, give in, concede, or be badly damaged as we restructure or trade elsewhere. This is a huge fundamental shift in the planet and will take time.
INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: We are finding out a lot of our "friends" were only fair weather friends. Now that the USA is asking them to put up their fair share, we are finding out many aren't really our friends. We'll get by. Make new friends. Don't see too many of them worrying about losing OUR friendship!
THE WALL: Slowly getting built piece by piece despite everything the Dems can do to block it.
RACE: Only an issue where the race-baiters want to make it an issue. If you have the moxy, the opportunities are there for you.

Perfect, thanks.

Trumpworld, on full display, right there.
.

Whatever, butthead. The economy doesn't go up and down? We're NOT going to beat China at trade? Some of our allies AREN'T fair weather friends? The wall ISN'T slowly getting built? Racial justice ISN'T out there for those who want it being made a political ploy by the Left?

Thanks for your opinion, FWIW, as to TRumpWorld, Learn it, Live, It Love it, because like it or not (and no one gives a shit if you don't), it is the new norm in America and for a long time to come.

Unfortunately, it's true, as much as you want to pretend it's "fake news".

As is the rest of my OP.

But by all means, follow your alternate universe "news" and "information".

Speaking of "parrot".
.

Ya because YOU say it's true then it MUST be true. How arrogant. I KNOW your OP is full of shit precisely because I access leftist news sources such as CNN, NPR, MSNBC, etc. I recognize the exact same unsupported talking points as I read in your OP. You should try it sometime instead of letting others tell you not to listen to news and opinions that disagree with the Democrat, Neo-Marxist line of thinking.

Not that it really matters to some, but we're not really in a good place at the moment. Things could turn, and most of us continue to hope for the best. But, as of early morning, August 24, here we are:

The Economy
While the unemployment figures look very good on their face, they are clearly not translating to growth, especially at the cost of the exploding deficit that temporarily goosed the economy. GDP is currently at 2.1%, but we can certainly remain hopeful that it will reverse course and increase. There have been spotty signs that growth-push inflation may be ticking up, but the trade war is clearly effecting sentiment (not to mention data) at a terribly delicate moment. Right now, this is a decent economy, at best, with consumers lacking the resources to push it and their household debt above 2008 levels.

Trade With China
Our President doesn't appear to understand that China is paying attention. They realize quite well that he's trying to bully them into a trade deal, like an eight-year old boy trying to bully another child out of their lunch at the playground. Meanwhile, Trump exhibits zero (0) understanding of the fact that China can theoretically out-wait us here, since they don't have those pesky elections to worry about all that much if the populace gets pissed off. While anything is certainly possible, it's tough to imagine China making any long term commitments until after they see who they're dealing with in January of 2021.

International Relations
Our President has not only isolated himself and his country from the rest of the world with his actions, but also with his petulant behaviors. Even for those of us who have done all we can to lower our standards and expectations of his child-like behavior, the thought of this goofy, pointless dust-up with Denmark (Denmark!) makes us wonder if this man can get along with anyone outside his base. Meanwhile, the crazy fat kid in North Korea is shooting off rockets like he's in charge of the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Like China, the world is clearly looking ahead, with hope, to November 2020.

The Wall

So we've gone from a "great economy" to "the economy goes up and down". Brilliant.

And you're welcome!

For the zillionth time, you're welcome to provide an intelligent, informed, honest response to any of my points.

I wrote about where we are, right now. Tell me where I'm wrong, and try to control your emotions.

[BrokeLoser]

These "responses" have been even more feeble than I anticipated, and THAT is SAYING something.

Just because you do not agree with the "responses" does not mean they are 'feeble'........Besides, no one really believes you are objective.

I'm not objective.

But I sure do enjoy watching you guys flop around like this. Talk radio doesn't provide you guys with responses to those clear and factual points, so you have to fall back on platitudes, insults and Obama. Just like talk radio does.
.

Mac, you seem to be awfully knowledgeable about “talk radio”....are we sure you’re not the one influenced by this “talk radio” you speak of daily?

Well, I listen regularly, and I see and hear the very same words, phrases, and (most interestingly) thought processes that talk radio uses.

I'll often see one of you guys start a thread not five minutes after Rush or Sean brought it up, which is always funny.

But of course, and as always, you guys can deny it. I expect nothing less.
