World respect for the US drops sharply under Trump

[Oldstyle]

You are confused Moon Bat.

The world is mostly made up of shithole countries.

Many of these countries have been on some kind of American welfare since the end of WWII.

What you confuse with a lack of respect is nothing more than them being butt hurt because the American people elected a President that put the interest of the US ahead of their interest and they don't like it.

Making American Great Again is a good thing for Americans. Just go look at our 401Ks, a strengthening military and low unemployment and and an expanding economy.

It may not be great for a filthy ass Haitian trying to get to this country to sign up for welfare.

If somebody else in the world doesn't like it that we are stopping Muslims and Mexicans and Haitians and all that other world trash from coming into this country then they can just kiss my ass.

Trump is undoing a lot of the damage that the Kenyan did to this country and other countries don't like it because they benefited from Oba,ma's weak ass anti American policie That is not a lack of respect. That is welfare butt hurt.s

It must annoy the shit out of you that our 401K’s skyrocketed while Obama was president.

It must REALLY annoy the shit out of you that the stock market is skyrocketing while Trump is President even though it's no longer propped up with quantitative easing and a near zero Fed interest rate! Every time the Fed even hinted at raising the rate during Barry's two terms the market started to free fall and they had to back off! The rate has been raised 3 times...with another on the way shortly...in the time since Trump was elected and yet the stock market is setting record highs!

No, it doesn’t annoy me. Why would it since my 401K is doing great. My 401K quadrupled under Obama and I hope it does again under trump.

Really, Faun? You do realize that if the economy thrives under Trump (which it is!) that you on the left aren't going to get the "wave" that you think you're going to get in the mid term elections? If everyone's 401K quadruples under Trump he's here for eight years. Hope you're on board with that!

Of course we can still get that wave. The same way Republicans got their wave despite the economy improving every year under Obama after Bush's Great Recession ended. Not to mention, about half the people credit Obama for the economy continuing its trend of growth into Trump’s term.

Heck...the Republicans got their wave in 2010 because the electorate didn't want ObamaCare and could already see where Pelosi, Reid and Obama were taking us with their proposed Cap & Trade legislation! They sent a wave of Republicans to Washington to stop them before they really ruined the economy!

I know you hate to hear it, Faun but Barry oversaw the worst recovery from a recession in modern economic history! He's the only US president to never see 3% growth in a single year of his Presidency and he had eight years to make that happen and spent trillions of dollars in stimulus!

 

[Oldstyle]

Funny how Trump's economy is growing despite the Fed raising interest rates 3 times, Faun! That's a sign of real economic growth. It's something Barry couldn't accomplish despite how you try and spin his numbers!

Of course they do. We're in our 9th year of economic expansion. Only a complete idiot (or a Trumpie) would conclude that the previous 8 years of expansion had nothing to do with the 9th.

And the Trumpies have essentially conceded the argument, acknowledging that the respect for the US and our influence are waning. Their conclusion appears to be 'fuck the world!'

Sigh......stupid is as stupid does, I suppose.

What Obama policy do you credit for creating economic expansion, Skylar?

Looks like making America great is not working as the world rejects us

World Respect for U.S. Drops Sharply Under Trump: Poll

America’s global image has dropped to an all-time low the first year of the Trump administration, falling below where it stood during the presidencies of Barack Obama and George W. Bush, according to a new Gallup poll.

The perception of U.S. leadership abroad since President Donald Trump took office has fallen 18 percentage points from the median 48 percent approval rating it held when Obama left office.

Who cares?

 

[Flash]

Laughing.....and by 'La La Land' you mean the rest of the world?

I mean the part of the world that lost respect when we had that Kenyan President that increased poverty, tremendously increased our debt, had dismal economic growth while at the same time destroying health care, enabling ISIS and pretty much having a foreign policy that was the laughing stock of the world.

The joke in the world was the Democrats running Crooked Hillary for President who everybody in the world knew was corrupt as hell.

You realize that the *only* places where confident in the judgment of the US president has increased.......is Russia and Israel, right?

So everywhere by those two places, Comrade?

Didn't the Moon Bats say that the economy was going bust because Trump was elected?

They were wrong with that like they are wrong with just about everything else, weren't they?

 

[Oldstyle]

We had eight years of tepid economic growth. Trump has already achieved what Obama couldn't in eight years...he's got 3% growth in his first year and that's BEFORE the affects of his tax cuts kick in!

If so, say it. I want you on record.

 

[Skylar]

We had eight years of tepid economic growth. Trump has already achieved what Obama couldn't in eight years...he's got 3% growth in his first year and that's BEFORE the affects of his tax cuts kick in!

US GDP increased 2.2% in 2017. 2015 in comparison....was 2.6%. And Obama hit 3% growth rates per quarter twice in 2016.

But again, don't let the math interfere with a good rant, eh?

Laughing......you've conceded the entire OP at this point. Trump has weakened our alliances, diminished the influence and standing of our country, isolated the US, emboldened our rivals, and ceded influence to them.

While China is implementing their 'Belt and Road' initiative in Africa, building roads and infrastructure along with lasting ties and economic influence....

....Trump is dismissing the entire continent as a 'shit hole'.

But hey, tell us more about that power company in Florida!

If so, say it. I want you on record.

You want me on record saying that the Obama record on the economy was awful? That George W. Bush's TARP legislation is primarily responsible for averting a bigger economic collapse? That Obama used TARP funds to reward his supporters rather than grow the economy? That his stimulus was so badly implemented that they had to start using "Jobs created or saved" to hide how few jobs they created despite spending hundreds of billions of dollars? That if he'd gotten Cap & Trade legislation that he was calling for that our economic numbers would have been far worse than they were? That if the fracking that he opposed hadn't fueled an energy boom in this country that drove the economy that those numbers would have been even worse?

Yeah, I'll go on "the record" on all of those things!

Now did you want to answer my question and tell me what Obama policy grew the economy?

 

[Skylar]

You want me on record saying that the Obama record on the economy was awful?

I want you on record saying that the first 8 years of economic growth in this country had nothing to do with the 9th year of economic growth.

Which is what you'd have to do to dismiss the Obama in the current economy.

On the record, please.

Hitting 3% for a quarter twice doesn't mean you hit it for the year...does it! What were his numbers for those OTHER two quarters? Care to do the "math" on that?

LOL...how much more "on the record" can I possibly get?

 

[Oldstyle]

Seems like now would be a good time for you to tell me what economic policy of Barack Obama's you think is driving the economy now, Skylar. Or are you going to put me "on the record" again? (eye roll)

8 years of 1.5% growth had nothing to do with the 9th year having 3+% growth. Fact

Exactly. We hit 3% twice in 2017. That doesn't mean we hit for the year, does it.

Laughing....you're literally making my argument for me.

 

[TNHarley]

We elected a literal fucking moron who was born on third base and brags about hitting triples, lies literally every single day about absolutely everything and treats people like utter dog shit. We are a laughing stock. And the next president will have a hell of a job cleaning up his mess.

A literal moron? Trump took a million dollars and turned it into a multi-billion dollar empire employing tens of thousands of people along the way. He also managed to defeat arguably the most well known woman in the world who was a deadlock to be the next president. If he's a moron, what does that make you?

I think Trump is arrogant, crass, and a bully, quite frankly, but a moron? Hardly. Neither you nor most people could ever achieve what he did even if starting out with the same advantages he had.

So your bar to prove that he's not a moron is me? Because according to you, he's smarter than me, that absolves him from being a moron.

Hell of an argument you made there. Well done!

But you're right, if I started on 3rd base and was handed everything in life, I don't think I would declare bankruptcy 7 times and pretend to be an amazing business man. But hey, what do I know!

When you operate hundreds of business over decades...declaring bankruptcy 7 times for some of those businesses simply means you're intelligent enough to know WHEN to declare bankruptcy under our system of bankruptcy laws...something you'd understand if you knew anything about running businesses!

bankruptcy 7 times out of how many companies? Wonder what the success rate is?
