Trump: “America First”....Democrats: ‘Mexico First’

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Dirty Democrats literally went all the way to the Wall for their Mexican Drug Cartels, Human Traffickers, Gangs and Aztlan Nationalist.

Liberals just don't care about the safety and wellbeing of Americans.

We’ve been losing the “trade war” for thirty years.

112 months straight of economic expansion, the 2nd longest in the history of the country.

UE rate below 4%

More jobs than people to fill them.

Record setting financial markets...

That is what we had prior to Trump starting the trade war.

Which of those things are so bad that you wish to see them gone?

Record high unemployment, and lost more manufacturing jobs, record percentage of people out of the workforce under the Hussein.

You still fail to acknowledge that the EU imposes heavy tariffs on the US long before President Trump, but that wasn’t a trade war?

Why is it that when other countries impose tariffs on the US it’s OK, but if we just threaten to use them, it’s suddeny a “trade war” started by President Trump?

You have against missed the point (shocking).

Under the tariffs prior to the trade war the US had:

1. 112 months straight of economic expansion, the 2nd longest in the history of the country.

2. UE rate below 4%

3. More jobs than people to fill them.

4. Record setting financial markets...

Those things all occurred under the deals that Trump and you claim are screwing us over.

So, I will ask again...which of those 4 things are bad and need to be done away with?

All bullshit. The only way unemployment went down was because people were out of work for so long and folk stopped looking for jobs. Hence the percentage of the population in the workforce was at record lows for the vast majority of the Hussein era. President Trump ended that with adding more than 4 million jobs, including many in manufacturing, which the Hussein claimed would need a “magic wand” to bring back.

You keep parroting talking points that are just bullshit.

The labor force participation rate is basically unchanged since mid-way through 2013

There were a net total of 10,595,000 jobs created during the 8 years of Obama.

These are the facts, not the bullshit talking points you keep parroting.

What question is that?

Because other countries are far more socialist than we are, and tariffs are about controlling the economy.

Tariffs work great in China because they are a Socialist Market Economy and the government controls much of the economy.

Do you wish our government to become more like theirs?

America First means America all alone

Trump has isolated us on the international stage

And we need them why?

Trump: Me First

 

[BrokeLoser]

Trump brilliance...he’s forcing Mexicrats down a rabbit hole. They’ll have to make an admission soon
He’s playing the Part Of Filth like a fiddle and they probably know it.
Soon the filth will be all out of desperate, pathetic excuses they will be forced to admit they have become the Party Of Mexico and that they believe Mexico has a right to fuck Americans over. There’s simply nowhere to go and no more spin to be used. This is a stand-off where one Party is clearly attempting to protect Americans and one Party is clearly attempting to protect Mexico’s ‘RIGHT’ to fuck our ass....SIMPLE SHIT.

“Walls don’t work.”
Every border agent interviewed has agreed that walls do work. Prisons and jails are built with walls surrounding them because they work.

“We can’t afford a wall.”
Americans haven’t been affected by debt in decades. We spend to mitigate growing expense...that’s what we do. We spend $100 now to stop from spending $1,000 later. It’s a no-brainer that third graders understand.

“Walls are a sign of racism.”
Only the twisted LibTardian mind can even fathom something so weird.
Americans deserve the right to choose who joins them just as you deserve the right to choose who walks through the front door of your home. Our right to choose can only be preserved with a barrier.

“Mexico was suppose to pay for the Wall.”
Let’s pretend Mexico’s check bounced and they have refused to make it good.

When they realized that Americans wouldn't vote for them, the problem was of course the Americans, not their batshit ideas.

And that's how the plan to replace the Americans was born. It's almost ironic watching the democrats be for fiscal responsibility when it comes to this item totaling 0.00% of the budget, yet having no concern over the enormous spending items of their own - which are worthless to Americans to make it worse. It really is the pro Mexico party.

 

[Dragonlady]

Theres just no other way to spin it folks...let’s be completely honest, nobody in the House or Senate really gives two fucks about the $5B as they have all shown their disregard for fiscal responsibility many times before. This is all about Democrats watching their plan for one party rule slip away as stopping the Brown Invaders slows the degradation of our nation and the growth potential for their Party Of Filth. This is simple shit for third graders.

There is no other way to spin it? Seriously man, you are totally lacking in imagination.

In signing up for the wall, Americans aren't signing up for a "mere" $5 billion. That's just a start. There's another 5 billion in the budge to house the "zero tolerance" detainees and their children until 2020. That money will go to the "for profit" prison companies which donated so lavishly to Donnie's "Inauguration Fund", the one that's now being investigated as a "pay for play" slush fund, managed by Michael Cohen.

The $5 billion Trump is asking for isn't the cost of building the wall. It's just a down payment. Completing the project will cost at LEAST $15 billion more, and then there's the cost of permanently manning it because as the test results showed, any wall can be breached. We don't know what that full cost will be because Trump has yet to provide the House Appropriations Committee with any financial cost analysis for the total cost of the project, or what it will cost to post guards along the wall, or to maintain and repair it.

Any President wanting a project approved is supposed to provide the House with a detailed analysis of the costs of construction, the costs of using the facilies, and the costs of maintaining it. For large structures such as the Wall, there is also the cost of eminent domain land seizures, and an environmental impact report. None of this has been done. Trump, coming from a closely held family corporation where the owner's word is law and nothing more is need to get a project done.

Government simply does not work that way and for good reason. Is Trump's "zero tolerance" policy a reward to the private prison donors that just happens to promote the idea that he''s tough on borders and job stealing Third World workers? These are legitimate questions that need answers.

 

[TheDude]

Everything Trump has done and shown shows he cares about, and does the right things for our country. There's no denying it. To progs that makes him a bad POTUS......SMH.

Progs like to say shit, such as Trump is a traitor blah blah blah. So we end up with Trump as a traitor in words, progs are traitors in action.

 

[my2¢]

I don't knock the view, Trump: “America First”....Democrats: ‘Mexico First’, that's why I come here, to catch viewpoints of others. I sure rather read these and skip the published opinion pieces.

My personal view on politics is, Republicans: Old Testament, Democrats: New Testament.

 

[Redfish]

Lets just deal with a few facts on this topic, shall we?

Democrats voted twice to fund the construction of a border wall. Pelosi,Schumer, Obama, Clinton, Biden, and most of the rest of the dems publicly expressed their support for stronger immigration controls and a physical barrier.

The dems are resisting today because they are desperate for a 2020 talking point that Trump failed to deliver on his wall promise, that's all this has ever been about. the 5 billion is a drop in the bucket of the federal budget, the dems voted more than that to support abortion in foreign countries and much more than that for foreign aid to foreign countries

shall we also talk about the 150 billion the Obama gave to Iran? who in congress approved that? Where did that money come from? Where did the money go that congress authorized for border walls under Obama? Where is it?

 

[Redfish]

He didn’t promise they would directly pay for it.

He said if they don’t help pay for it, they would be punished by other means. Like tariffs, and moving jobs back to the US.

But don’t let that get in the way of your idiotic talking point.

Tariffs are taxes on importers; not the exporters (like Mexico). So he did say that; he’s stupid.

The President can’t move jobs back here. If he did say that; he’s stupid.

But don’t let facts get in the way of your self-delusions. Happy Kwanzza

Tariffs bring jobs back, once it’s cheaper to manufacture products due to tariffs. It’s how it’s worked for the EU and China. But you’re too dumb to know how they work and the effect they have.

Tariffs brought jobs back to China!

Their slave labor force keeps jobs in China, and our lack of tariffs. They also use tariffs against US products.

Smiley faces don’t change the facts.

We would have to institute 75% tariffs to make it more profitable to manufacture here

More profitable than what? Are you saying that companies in the USA are not making profits?

 

[Redfish]

Record high unemployment, and lost more manufacturing jobs, record percentage of people out of the workforce under the Hussein.

Tariffs work great in China because they are a Socialist Market Economy and the government controls much of the economy.

Do you wish our government to become more like theirs?

horseshit, tariffs are about protecting industries within the country by making foreign products less price competitive. But I guess you are ok with Chinese companies (the Chinese government) making profits at the expense of American companies?

Don't you?

[TheDude]

Progs are an intellectually dishonest corrupt people, and they're the first to dumb down under 24/7 propaganda. This is because they're not a rational people, but instead lead by emotion. Let's consider REAL FACTS that CANNOT be disputed.

Dems. were for border security until Trump was. That said, they now desire open immigration because ignorant people (e.g. non-English speaking people) support Democrats.

Trump wants what's best for our country. But the Democrats won't give him an inch, because they're more concerned with political posturing. Trump's desires are straight-forward and easily understood. Meanwhile the Democrats are playing games. Just think people, "liberals" prefer games.

Every expert in the field recommends a wall. The only people that don't are progs, because they're just doing as they've been trained. Reference my first point.

A wall is an investment. I realize they don't teach math/logic inside liberal institutions, so this may come as a shock. A 5-10 billion dollar wall amortized over 100 years is a lot less than the 50-75 billion annually spent on illegals.

So progs are reduced to the racist wild card. When they're wrong, which they clearly are, then to them it means you're racist.

This is the Republican Party destroying itself. Trump is showing himself to be a dictatorial thug. Americans do not support a wall and oppose the Trump/McConnell shutdown. Trump is degrading this country and the Republican Party is the party of filth like you.
