World respect for the US drops sharply under Trump

[Oldstyle]

The truth is...after the Obama Stimulus cratered so badly and both Larry Summers and Christina Romer jumped ship and ran back to the safety of their tenured jobs at Harvard and Berkeley...Obama didn't seem to even try to improve the economy. People can't tell you who his chief economic advisors were following that point in his Presidency because they didn't do anything with the economy past that point. It was like they'd gotten burned playing with something hot and didn't want to risk picking it up again!

What do you consider to be a good metric to measure a healthy and improving economy?

This will be funny to watch you avoid answering because you know it will only invalidate your drivel.

One huge indicator of a healthy and improving economy is a move by the Fed to increase interest rates! They've done so three times since Trump was elected. They did so once from the time Obama was elected until Trump was elected. That's once in eight years compared to three times in one.

The more I converse with you, RDD...the more I come to the conclusion that you know very little about economics. I'm still waiting to hear from either you or Faun (or anyone else for that matter!) about which Obama policy it was that's created this healthy economy under Trump! Any idea when that might be forthcoming?

They started raising it in 2015. Raised it twice under Obama.

Thanks for admitting Trump inherited a good economy; even though you didn’t mean to.

 

[SmokeALib]

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.

Let's clean up one president at a time, shall we?

Trump inherited a tepid economy...he's turned it into a good economy...and it sure looks like it's about to get even better once the affects of the tax cuts start to kick in!

You see that flat line? That's the Obama Presidency in a nutshell. Year after year of stagnant economic growth because we had a President who simply didn't understand economics or how businesses operate.

I don’t know why you’re waiting to hear from me when we’ve already had that discussion several times and it always goes the same way.... I list policies which helped the economy and lie and deny.

LOLOL

Seems I need to remind you already what you said...

“One huge indicator of a healthy and improving economy is a move by the Fed to increase interest rates!”​

Well that “huge indicator” began while Obama was president and carried over into Trump’s presidency.

Like I said, you proved Trump inherited a good economy from Obama.

The last 5 federal income tax cuts, 1981, 1982, 2001, 2002 and 2003 resulted in lower federal income tax revenues. Who knows why you think this one will be any different.

And by “tepid economy” you mean an economy with low inflation, full employment and a record high stock market, 3 times higher than when it bottomed out from Bush’s Great Recession and the “ huge indicator” of the federal fund rate being increased.

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.

Good. Let Germany pay for all of those third world shitholes that you love but have never experienced.

Its too bad the world is so easily influenced. What does that say about them? you cant always trust the polls either. There is usually a motivation behind them.

 

[Norman]

The numbers vaulted Germany over the U.S., replacing it as the top-rated global power.

And they are overrun by invaders.

It almost seems like the high rating is only because the invaders are pleased.

Or..... maybe the world is right and you’re wrong.

How many of Trumps lies cost me money?, Obama's lie my health insurance went up.100%

It always DOES go the same way! You list the stock market increasing. You talk about so many months of positive job creation. But when it comes to the Obama Administration policies that made the economy grow...you're not so forthcoming. This really isn't an advanced discussion of economics, Faun! It should be quite simple for you to point to the overriding Obama economic strategy that he used to stimulate the economy. With Trump that strategy is basic...cut taxes on businesses...cut burdensome regulations on businesses...allow Americans to keep more of the money they earn. That's it. That's what they believe will stimulate the economy and create jobs. So what was Barack Obama's overriding economic strategy? Obamacare? The ACA hindered the recovery! Proposing Cap & Trade? That would have imposed higher energy costs on American businesses! Passing a record number of regulations on businesses?

The world understands what we have as a President

Someone who impulsive, petty and unreliable
They understand that nothing the man says can be trusted

For that reason and the reason their citizens have very little respect for Trump, they will not follow his leadership and will not enter into deals with him

So what? says Conservatives

So, if Trump picks a fight with N Korea....he will find himself standing alone
If there is a new surge in terrorism.......he will be on his own
Trade deals will be one on one with nobody trusting Trumps word

What that means is in a global conflict, we cannot count on our allies to support us

Kind of like Bush's "Coalition of the willing" in Iraq except that Trump can't count on UK support

 

[Oldstyle]

When push comes to shove in a "global conflict" our allies will be falling all over themselves to support us. They understand that despite petty differences of opinion about things like where Israel's capital is located...the US is a much better friend than the alternative!

Tell me how we needed them again? Hell during the Nobel peace prize guys Libya war Great Britain had to rent one of our AWACs to protect their ships. And the socialist were so military poor they could only afford to fire off three tomahawk missiles..


And give me a break we don't need any of them..

What it means is ....when we want boots on the ground, those boots will be made in the USA

The Great Obama was successful in getting our allies to bear more of the burden in Egypt, Libya and Syria as well as an increased presence with Afghanistan

It means fewer US lives lost
