    Here's a broader picture from a new report from the Pew Research Center for perspective:

    Perfect chart.  My news sources are MSNBC, CNN and the WSJ.  Sometimes BBC.  Rarely look at the rest.  Though the NY Times does have some good articles.  As does the Economist and Al Jazeera International from time to time.

    Good gosh.  Those are terrible sources for news.  Horrible.  It comes out in your posts.  You need to utilize better sources.

    I guess that's what the President calls MAGA ":)

     

    More achievements by Trump?

    Why would a sane person impeach him? Makes no sense ;)

    US-Mexico illegal border crossings have been falling for years.  Way before Trump came around.

     

    The US economy has been rocking for years.  Way before Trump came around.

     

    You can thank Obama for that.  I guess Obama MAGA? LOL

     

    Why would  a sane person impeach Trump?  Because he's a lair....and a whole long list of other things you'll just deny.

     

    That article lists some real softball stuff.  Nothing major has been accomplished.  A few things yes, but they are overshadowed by the chaos he's creating.  As that article states.

    The actual government, the administration of Donald Trump, is coming off the worst week of his presidency, although there haven’t been any smooth weeks. Trump’s top legislative priority, repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, seems dead for the moment. (Tax reform? Forget it.)

     

    But hey!  MAGA! :bah:

    Psst...The super secret “scary the liberal agenda”:

    1. Ensure everyone has healthcare—like every other developed country on the planet.

    2. Ensure college tuition is affordable—like every other developed country (and many developing countries) on the plant.

    3. Ensure every citizen, regardless of ethnicity, gender or sexual orientation has the same access to opportunities and has equal rights—a goal every civilized nation aspires to.

    4. Ensure religion stays out of politics—as stipulated in the constitution.

    5. Ensure women have full control over their bodies.

    6. Ensure corporate rights are subordinate to human citizens’ rights.

     

    How nefarious!

    I doubt there are many that would argue with your list.  No matter their political label.  We should be fighting for these things together.  Not letting our elected officials drive our decisions and create divisions.  Approval rating for congress is below 20%.  Reform is desperately needed.

    The thing that both amuses me and saddens me at the same time, is that i know with absolute certainty that if the shoe were on the other foot the folks so stridently and vociferously attacking Trump would just as vociferously and stridently be defending their scum of choice.        

    Some yes, some no.  Mainly the hard core ones would do this.

    You are still flogging this (dead) horse. Nothing has been proven about Russia as regards poor Hillary not getting her rightful win. There clearly was no collusion between Trump and the Kremlin. OK, maybe somebody Trump knew has been to Russia sometime in the past.  Big deal, lots of people have been to Russia. As I said to you before when you were coming out with this crazy notion that Russia won the election for Trump, just wait until 2020 and get the Dems to do no campaigning, no debating, no advertizing, just give some Russian troll a few bucks and let them take an advert on Facebook and see if it wins the election! Can you see how crazy this is yet?

     Now back to reality, when CNN and other fiercely anti-Trump media call off the hounds there will be a huge task in building bridges with Russia. This whole sorry saga has damaged the US's relations with Russia and will take a real statesman to repair it. Luckily we have Trump in the hot seat and nobody knows the art of the deal like Donald. So there is hope, but really, time to accept it. Hillary lost - lets move on. Nobody will impeach Trump, and he will not be forced to resign. He is our president for the next 3 years and if you don't come to terms with why your team lost then Trump will ace the 2020 election again.Your choice...

    You are aware Facebook has admitted it took ads from the troll farm run by Putin's best friend?  Fake ads?  Ads potentially reaching over 100 million people?

     

    Twitter has banned Russia Today and Sputnik News from their site.  Pretty clear evidence to me.  Unless you are like Trump and just don't want to see the truth.

     

    My team did lose.  I'm an independent.  Have been for decades.

    The majority of voters that voted against Trump accept that he won the electoral college vote in an election flawed by Russian interference and a very public FBI investigation of Hillary Clinton and a secret FBI investigation of Trump campaign collusion with Russia.  People who care about democracy (apparently not Trump and his supporters) want Russian attempts to influence the election through hacking and fake stories planted on social media investigated.

     

    Until you give some significant accomplishments people have every right to be skeptical.  Until you give examples of CNN, ABC and BBC reporting false information or neglecting important stories people are right to rely on them.

     

    Would you like a short list of the fake news (lies) that have come from Trump?

    Stunning somebody would deny interference by Russia after so much has already been proven.  Boggles my mind.

     

    Perhaps they are spending too much time on InfoWars or ZeroHedge? LOL

    Unfortunately the election is not "ancient history" because the loony left still can't accept the result and are still harping on about the Russia farce and keep trying to impeach Trump who has done nothing wrong or illegal (yet, that we know of). This is all a direct result of losing the election primarily, and losing it to a man they don't personally like secondly. With regards to his accomplishments, I am not going to make a list for you, but I would suggest not getting your news from CNN or ABC or the BBC because they don't like reporting on such facts. Unemployment down, stock market is up, businesses investing in the US, illegal immigration down, ISIS losing ground, I could go on.

    Sad times when people call the investigations a farce.  It's not about who won or lost.  It's about interference and potential collusion with a hostile foreign power.  Much of which has already been proven.  Amazing you don't understand this. Or just don't want to accept it.

     

    Please don't go on....LOL

    What on earth makes you think I hang out with bar-girls? I've a good mind to report you for flaming.

    The ironic thing is that you were looking to buy a house in Pattaya :cheesy:

    Please do.  Report button is in the upper right.  And no, I'm not looking to buy a house in Pattaya.  You must have me mixed up with someone else.

    You quoted my reply to the post about the electoral vote, out of context. 

    I'm not a trump supporter, not even a Yank. 

    You did lose, so my question is why do you always bring up the electoral vote as if it means anything?

    God, grant you the serenity to accept the things that are the law, and make you spend everyday on an internet forum trying to find others who refuse to accpet that Trump won fair and square.

    :cheesy:

     

     

    Again, all ya got is "Trump won!".  That's not much to go on. :cheesy:

     

    Must be sad times for Trump supporters.  Especially as the numbers dwindle.  You're in the minority....hang in there though!  MAGA! :cheesy:

    That's a bit rich considering all the Lib Dems do is label people. They ran (and LOST) and election around it.

     

    Trump has not even been in office 1 year yet, with the amount of Dem obstructionism it is a miracle has gotten anything done. Just because something has not been done yet due, does not make it a broken promise. He has accomplished a lot of things already, why not list those instead?

    Agree that labels are a big problem and create a divide.  Again...why bring up the elections?  That's ancient history.

     

    Trump is getting as much obstruction as Obama did.  Same same.  Blame your party for that one.  The political system is broken in the US. 

     

    Please, give us a list of things he's accomplished.  As said above, rolling back protection of the environment isn't an accomplishment.

    I am awaiting your reply to why you intellectual liberal supremacists keep bringing up the electoral vote nonsense. You lost, accept it. God....

    I'm not a liberal.  Far from it.  Labeling people like this is what's getting the conservatives into trouble.  Amazing all we get from Trump supports is "you lost". :cheesy:

     

    P.S. please quote people properly.  I never brought up the electoral vote.  Just gave you a list of promises Trump has broken.  Which you didn't read because it doesn't fit your narrative.

  13. 4 minutes ago, MrPatrickThai said:

    That is so true and funny. Can't wait for the anti-trump supremist's reply. 

    It's a long list.  Build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.  Lock her up.  Etc, etc, etc.  If not broken, they are stalled and will probably never be kept.  Worth a read.  The few things he's accomplished are extremely controversial.

    Well sorry to upset your feelings but that's what all in the UK(the place you call England), anf the rest of the world call you when being polite. Not sure what you'd want to be called. Americans, would be referring to Mexicans.Canadians, Columbians etc.

    Not true.  Very few of my friends from the UK use that term.  It's a derogatory term.  You can look that up.  And gets removed from time to time on this forum.

    Geez, considering how great you tell us Obama was, I didn't think it would be much of a challenge.

     

    Actually, rolling back many of the regulations has already been considered a great help to business. Also, I consider having a budget a step forward, instead of having to operate under sequester for so long. 

    What regulations?  Please back this up with a verified report that proves this.  Credible links only....

     

    I was not an Obama fan.  He was an OK president.  But doesn't deserve the bashing he gets from ardent Trump supporters.

    What a wonderfully welcome post. Perhaps the best of  the thread. 

     

    Sadly, this thread has been hijacked by 4 or 5 extreme liberals that have not got the integrity to admit they were wrong. They will do everything in their power to discredit all the good things Trump has done, and is doing for the good of the Yanks. 

     

    First, many of us detest the use of Yanks.  It's a derogatory term.  Please.....

     

    Second, please show something significant Trump's done.  This gets old asking for this and never getting an answer.

  17. 49 minutes ago, beechguy said:

    Very well, right back at you, show us what Obama did to bring back jobs.

    In the mean time, President Trump has rolled back a number of ridiculous Executive Orders from Obama, appointed a Supreme Court Justice, not satisfied, but there is a budget for 2018, and they are working on tax reform.

    This isn't about Obama.  You many think those EO's were ridiculous.  Many think the opposite.  So far, there's little meat there.  Overturning an EO or appointing a SCJ is small stuff.  Got anything more?

    So by your reasoning we can blame the 2007 crash on Bill Clinton.

     

    The only thing lagging, is some posters grasp of reality. http://www.fedprimerate.com/dow-jones-industrial-average-history-djia.htm

    I would say the jump from 17,888 to 18847 in one week at the election, was pretty good indicator, that everyone was tired of Obama's crap. The other 4500 points, to 23434, on Oct.27, 21017 is just an exclamation point.

    Yes, it can definitely be blamed on those in power before the crash.  There are many reasons for this.  And they were in charge of it all after all.....

    No. Trump is bringing back American jobs, he is clamping down on violent illegals, the stock market is purely reacting to the undeniable reality that America will be great again, thanks to a POTUS that is committed to improving his homeland and not playing silly image massaging games on the world stage.

     Most satisfying to see the extreme liberals have been proven wrong on all counts. Remember? He won't last a year!! Remember that?? He has not only lasted a year but he has achieved more in that year than even his hardcore fans had hoped. Apart from all the triggered libs ruining the spectacle with their Russian hysteria it has been a truly great year. Trump 2020, bring it on.

    Please show me a report that proves Trump is bringing back jobs.  Just one CREDIBLE report.  And one that shows he's clamping down on violent illegals. Too funny.

     

    Extreme liberals?  You want put everybody in buckets, which is your #1 problem.  Many of us are not liberals.  We just want what's best for our country.  And right now, that's not Trump.

     

    Funny that Trump supporters always go back to "but, but, but...he won!". Ya got nothing else?

  20. 4 minutes ago, FreddieRoyle said:

    Totally agree. He is the best president the US had in recent decades. He is not obsessed about his personal approval ratings and is knuckling down to some proper hard work undoing the horrible policies successive liberal govts have ruined the US with. Let's remember he only had a 2% chance to win the election and just look at him go! He will achieve wonders in his double bill, and even the most mentally retarded liberal will have to praise him. Can't wait.

    Wow.  You lost all credibility when you said he's not obsessed about his approval rating.  That's all he cares about!

     

    As I've asked many times, what has Trump accomplished so far.  I've got a big nothing burger from all his supporters.  Nothing.

    I think he will go on to be the greatest president the US have elected. Sure he’s making some mistakes but the results speak for themselves, lowest unemployment for decades, stock market booming, gdp increases on a monthly basis. Calling out the biased fake news outlets “priceless” about time.

    You can congratulate Obama for most of this.  You are aware that unemployment rates are lagging indicators.  Reflective of decisions made in the past, not the present.  So no, this is not due to Trump.  Congrats go to Obama.

     

    There has been a bump in the stock market.  One that was started during Obama's term.  235% increase.  Thanks Obama!  To really see what impact Trump had, you'll have to wait until his term has ended.

     

    You do seem to be reading biased and fake news outlets.
