Is Trump actually doing a better job than you expected?
Steven55 replied to hotsun's topic in Political Soapbox
Trump_Army is wrong. In July, Mayor Bass launched a cash card initiative to support individuals affected by ICE raids in LA. Cards are worth a few $100, not $50,000. It is funded by philanthropic partners, not taxpayer money. It’s designed to help documented and undocumented residents avoid eviction, homelessness, and other hardships caused by sudden enforcement actions. So, basically: it is for food and shelter... And mostly for immigrants who have been working and paid taxes. Republicans, who say they live according to the Bible, don't give a <deleted> about helping people in need... just a few 100 dollars -

Wow, pls, look a little bit deeper: Trump canceled the nuclear agreement with Iran (which was working), this pissed of Iran, next Trump 'solves' his previous stupidity by bombing Iran. Trump took away health care from 11 million people. Caused harder times for former students to pay back loans. Life of everyday costs for Americans will be more expensive, which will cause problems for the bottom part of the population. Tax income will be drastically lower, USA debt is sky rocketing, while Trump promised (for the 2nd time) to reduce the debt. Promised to cut gasoline prices in half: failed. Tariffs on essentials like coffee, rice, and chocolate have made groceries more expensive Scared away illegal immigrants inside the USA for going to work at farms etc, who were working and paying taxes. Many farmers cannot harvest. Promised to end the Ukraine war in one day: failed. Appointing anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health Secretary contributed to the worst measles outbreak in decade Lying about "the EU was created to screw the USA". Fact is that after WW2, the USA encouraged Europe to create the EU. Preventing Future Wars: A united Europe was seen as a way to avoid another devastating conflict like WWI or WWII. Containing Communism: With the Soviet Union expanding its influence in Eastern Europe, the US wanted a strong, democratic Western Europe as a counterbalance. Economic Stability: The Marshall Plan (1948) pumped billions into European economies, but it also nudged countries toward cooperation and integration. A richer Europe, next made the USA richer. Security and Alliance Building: A united Europe would be a more reliable partner in NATO and help defend the “free world. Lying about the trade deficit between USA and EU, because he left out 110 BILLION that EU pays to USA companies for services (Google, Amazon etc etc). Slashed funding for food pantries and rural hospitals. Cut funding of Universities for poor, native Americans. 90% reduction in federal funding for tribal colleges2. Funding for post secondary programs would drop from $182 million to just $22 million for 2026. The cuts would likely force most or all of the 37 tribal colleges to shut dow FEMA Cuts & Disaster Response: His decision to begin dismantling FEMA left the agency unprepared for catastrophic floods in Texas, resulting in over 130 deaths. He broke his promise to disclose funding sources for his presidential transition, raising ethical concerns. Promised to disclose all Epstein-files: failed. -

Trump is a fear monger, he said: " Stock Market will crash under Kamala Harris" He said the same 4 yrs again regarding Joe Biden. Trump is soooo pathetic. Musk said that Dems imported immigrants to vote for Dems. Two lies: it takes immigrants to become US citizen. And many previous immigrants vote for Trump. Trump got low IQ, he can't produce a decent speech, the only thing he can do is swearing, dehumanizing opponents and lying that the economy is doing bad (it is stronger than ever). Trump's plans are bad: https://x.com/SethAbramson/status/1850708496620167442

I suspect that you do not even realize that you are discussing in a sneaky and unsportsmanlike manner. Regarding Putin, I argued that Putin is a dictator who used to be popular with a large part of the Russian population but is no longer popular. To this end, I presented 2 (there are more) arguments: 1. My Russian neighbor considers Putin to be a ‘mafia’. 2. A million Russians have fled their country. You pick out 1 argument and do not refute it with facts but by making disparaging remarks about my neighbor and calling him a ‘sexpat’. That is not an argument with which you refute Putin’s ‘mafia status’, but sneaky insults, as we also know from Donald Trump (you fit the profile of most Trump voters perfectly, congratulations!). You cannot refute my second argument, and you ignore it. Just like Trump also ignores questions that could cause him to lose face. But keep supporting the man who in his first term fulfilled 24 of his 102 promises and of those 24 there were 24 that were bad for the USA, or for the working class in the USA or for the world. There were some things that were good for Trump's business: 11 million less taxes, triple rate for rooms in Trump's hotels for Secret Security and 2 billion for his son-in-law Kushner (from S-Arabia). Also in a possible 2nd term Trump will not contribute anything positive: As a result of higher import tariffs, global economic growth will be 0.8% less which will have a negative impact on immigration in the USA and Europe. Due to further tax cuts, seniors will receive up to 33% less Social Security in 10 years. Congratulations on this possible blunder-president. Write down ALL Trump’s promises and in 2029 (if his is going to be elected) you will find out that the working class has been screwed by him again (and Musk - Musk wants to control the regulators who regulate his businesses). After this I will stop discussing, because you are far too good at making up untruths and nonsense arguments and do not have the mental capacity to accept facts, and to argue based on facts. Read what Trump wants – such as obediant Hitler-generals - (with the consequences) in the 4 articles below, learn something, otherwise: get l**t! https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-wanted-hitlers-generals-former-chief-of-staff-says_uk_67189060e4b00ebe56fd41f9 https://edition.cnn.com/2024/10/17/politics/janet-yellen-donald-trump-tariffs/index.html https://www.theglobeandmail.com/business/article-imf-trims-global-growth-forecast-warns-of-rising-trade-risks/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/trumps-social-security-plan-could-lead-to-33-benefits-cut-analysis/ar-AA1sEZ2p

Pathetic BS of you... see here: PolitiFact | Jan. 6 defendants were armed with guns, other weapons, documents show So, you agree with me, thank you. You have the right to shoot intruders, while policemen in the Capitol - who had the DUTY by ORDER to protect the politicians inside and were threatened by an insane crowd (of which several had guns and other weapons) - don't have the right, according to you. You have such a twisted Rep mind... You perfectly fit in the profile of the deplorable Trump-voters. I bet that if it had been Dems rioting at the Capitol, Trump would have said to shoot them all and you would have agreed. And the BLM protesters? They met the National Guard, who reacted much harsher! Inform yourself! BLM vs Capitol protests: This was the police response when it was Black protesters on DC streets last year | CNN Photos show difference in police response to anti-racism protests and the siege at the U.S. Capitol - CBS News -
Oh, sorry, Einstein: Putin was elected in a fair election 24 yrs ago, but the past 2 elections he cheated; Got it??? WTF: 24 yrs ago... stop living in the past and do a reality check ! When facts change, intelligent people change their opinion. You don't show any change, so you don't show any intelligence! Putin turned from a democratic leader into a dictator, murderer and thief (he stole 200 billion!). FACT! FACT! Can't your brains accept facts?

Trump violated at least 3 of the 10 commands of the Bible. And Jezus said to love your enemies... WTF: Trump not only hates his enemies, he even hates his compatriots (Dems).

And for all the retirees: Trump will lower your SS check, with a total reduction of 33% in the coming yrs (but most Trumpies will be too stupid to realize this) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trumps-policies-would-jeopardize-social-security-report-finds-beyond-irresponsible-says-one-expert-194828960.html Seniors would face heftier cuts to their Social Security benefits sooner than expected if Donald Trump wins the presidential election and his campaign promises are implemented, a new analysis found.

World advice? TroubleandGrumpy thinks HE IS THE ONE whose opinion is the one and only truth. Facts about Putin proof that my neighbor (who comes with his Russian wife - again a ST.P.D BIASED remark, without knowing the facts). You are clearly overestimating your knowledge: most of your posts here are nonsense, incorrect opinions (eg regarding Nato & countries of the Warsaw Pact) Just vote for the guy who only kept 25 of his 102 promises in 2016. Write down ALL the promises Trump has done for his possible next term and tell us in Jan 2029 on which ones he delivered. I bet less than 10% and most of these will turn out to have e negative result for the USA and/or the world. PolitiFact | How Donald Trump performed on 11 key promises And the ones on which he delivered, were bad for the USA, bad for the working class, bad for the world, bad for the Palestinians, bad for Israel

Rasg, Vote for the guy who made 102 promises in his 2016 campaign and delivered 25. Of these 25, most were bad for the world, bad for the working class, bad for the US debt, bad for the Middle East... but good for Trump's businesses. PolitiFact | How Donald Trump performed on 11 key promises -

Several behind Babbit had bats, and guns. Yagoda, I pay you 100usd if you pass a lie detector test saying that you will not shoot in the following situation: You look at it from the point of view of Babbit. Now, let's look at it from another angle: Think about this: you support the 2nd amendment, you are at home and an angry mob storms your house. Four unarmed guards have given up defending your house. Next, the mob breaks your windows with sticks, one person without a stick climbs through your window. You don't know anything what this person has said or done in the minutes before she tried entering your house. You want to defend your family at all costs, you are stressed, you give a warning that you will shoot, however, that person continues climbing through the window (with angry men with sticks and possibly guns on the move to follow her). Next you shoot. I bet you are convinced you did what you had to do and that it was right. Agree? -

The problem with many people is that they only have the mental skills for 'first-level thinking' (That even applies for Trump: he doesn't see the consequences of his economic plans. He even doesn't see the consequences of his acquired 'immunity' as president (because he wants to prosecute Biden when Trump is president again). He doesn't see the consequences of US protectionism, he doesn't see that the best way to stop immigration is addressing the CAUSE of immigration (poverty in other countries is one of these things; Harris addressed this already! -

So many well-know Reps admitted "NO FRAUD" Many courts concluded "NO FRAUD" . Pls inform yourself how Roger Stone already in 2016 designed the "Stop the Steal" campaign, which wasn't activated in 2016, but later in 2020. a Danish documentary reveals his criminal actions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Storm_Foretold
