You can hate his policies.
He wasn't desrepectful , he didn't insult opponents, he didn't mock people, he didn't lie to his teeth, he didn't attack everyone that disagrees with him, he was well spoken, articulate, and polite. Unlike the bully Trump....and mind you I didn't vote for Obama.
T.
Obama was a gentleman,
LOL!!
Obama was an affirmative action worthless piece of American hating Muslim shit that was an embarrassment to the USA.
Obama did insult his opponents, lots of backhanded compliments and that is all and good. Trump is worse but to claim he wasn't disrespectful, to say he wasn't disrespectful is flat out wrong.
I'm not happy with the way Trump handles a lot of things, however his positive impact on the industry I'm in goes along way to in helping the middle working middle class and the small business owner. Lots of rules the Obama administration put on the industry hurt small business and the working middle class.
.
1. What are the rules that Obama administration ------- HURT small businesses and the working middle class?
2. What are the rules that Trump implemented that HELPS small businesses and middle income class?
I can only speak of what has gone on in my industry. When Trump first took office he set out instructions to his administration to look over rules and regulations.
The ELD that the Obama administration was going to have finalized is now before the House and maybe be put off or scraped altogether. That is an expense that can cost a business $500 a piece with a monthly charge with taxes of $35-$45.
The interchange/lease agreement was set to go into effect the first of January 2018, it is now delayed for at least a year and maybe scraped. That rule would have crippled the industry motorcoach industry, it could of also of stranded motorcoach customers on the side of the road for hours. When conventions come to town, the groups organizing the convention would have to get a hold of several companies instead of one, it would be an organizational nightmare and single coach operators would never get used.
The driver training rule, set up under the Obama administration is now been delayed and looks like it won't happen.
The mandate for governors on CDL trucks is now headed for the scrap heap.
The new medical requirements for truckers is now been delayed and will probably be removed.
All because of a new administration.
The Obama administration had several regulations that did not make it because the trucking industry forced many hearings and most every trucking association fought it. The 36 hour reset rule was going to go by the wayside, fortunately they listened to the trucking industry in one case.
The FMCSA is now changing its attitude from trying to put out companies to educating and working with the motorcoach and trucking industry, this is a huge change from last year.
I agree we need rules and regs in the industry and 99% of the companies work hard to be safe. This industry is one of the most regulated industries in the country.
That is just a few, again, I wish Trump would quit stirring up needless crap, but this part of his presidency I am enjoying.
