SURVEY: Do you want Trump to finish his first term?

[Andaman Al]

I think Trump's lawyers will now be in meltdown and Cohen will be before Mueller in the not too distant future!

 

Crazy that despite all the other stuff Trump will be brought down by Stormy.

Trump says he didn’t know about payment to Stormy Daniels

 

 

Oh Dear oh Dear! This does make it rather complicated for Cohen - AND the validity of the NDA - AND explaining the arbitration that Sanders said 'Trump won".

 

Quote

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE — President Donald Trump said Thursday he didn’t know about the $130,000 payment his personal attorney made to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who alleges she and the president had an affair.

Asked aboard Air Force One whether he knew about the payment, Trump responded, “no.”

Trump also said he didn’t know why his longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen, had made the payment or where he got the money.

Nope, it was all Trump The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Soon as US and China get things sorted out it will start to climb again. Obama is all forgotten.

The Trump administration did nothing about implementing economic policy until this year and they started with the tax cuts. The results speak for themselves. Prior to this year the country was rolling along with Obama recovery and growth. Now watch carefully and see what happens. Hint - there is going to be a lot more down than up.

For the record, are you saying The Obama Recovery™  is officially over?

 

Oh, and BTW, what economic policies exactly did the previous administration have?

Knowing the expat community in Thailand I'm not surprised they vote for another 4 years Trumpism. 

 

This is not a compliment btw.

Yes, seems that way. Now we shall see what policy by tweet and shooting at the hip will look like.

 

I am not going to go over 8 years of economic policies. You can search for those yourself.

The poll is about his first four year term. Nothing in it about a second one. It's a non scientific poll as well and some opponents think it's best if he finishes his first term often because his VP is very awful as well. Also the poll is not restricted to Americans.

So, this miracle recovery rolls over just when the Fed Funds Rate breached 1% to the upside. I know you and others are ful lof praise for The Obama Recovery™  but by any objective appraisal, that ain't too good. BTW, this chart should be pointing up in a recovery:

" The economic policy of the Barack Obama administration was characterized by moderate tax increases on higher income Americans designed to fund healthcare reform, reduce the federal budget deficit, and decrease income inequality. His first term (2009–2013) included measures designed to address the Great Recession and Subprime mortgage crisis, which began in 2007. These included a major stimulus package, banking regulation, and comprehensive healthcare reform. "    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_policy_of_the_Barack_Obama_administration

 

Basically, stop the economic freefall, reduce the $1.3 trillion deficit created by Bush's final budget, and don't do anything stupid.  That was all he could accomplish given the obstruction of the Republican's in Congress.

 

Trillion dollar plus deficits are back under Trump, and it looks like they're here to stay.  A combination of an economic slowdown triggered by a trade war, inflation caused by higher prices of imports, and the resulting interest increases driving up the cost of the federal debt will push these deficits and the debt much higher.

Why is this in Thai Visa?  This is Thailand, not the U.S.A.   Mind your own business please.

Let's relive some "happy" memories of the aftermath of the Vietnam War.  Was this the time when America was great?

 

"Former U.S. Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius said he resigned from his post last year after the Trump administration asked him to pressure the Vietnamese government to receive more than 8,000 Vietnamese refugees marked in the U.S. for deportation."

 

"The vast majority of the people targeted for deportation — sometimes for minor crimes — were war refugees who had established lives in the U.S. after fleeing the Vietnam War more than 40 years ago, Osius wrote in an essay this month for the American Foreign Service Association."

 

"“And they were to be ‘returned’ decades later to a nation ruled by a communist regime with which they had never reconciled."   https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/04/06/former-ambassador-to-vietnam-trump-wanted-me-to-send-back-refugees/

This is in the World News section of the Thai Visa forum.  Most of the posters on this topic are US citizens discussing our own business.

I have been an American since I was born 74 years ago so this is my business too.  I'm sick and tired of all the Trump bashing going on.  Why don't you folks who can't stand our President just shut the hell up and wait for your turn at the wheel again?  Have some respect for a change.

[Nickymaster]

Yes I want him to finish his term and want him loose the next election. He will be a one term president. Trump is a disgusting shameless con artist who treats everybody like shit. He is a sociopath who thinks he can insult you one day and tell you the next day you are great. He has managed to get away with it in the US but the rest of the world is taking him for a ride.  He is losing all trade wars he has started.

He will see 2 terms, not much doubt about that.  Trade wars, oh yeah he will win those as well.  Time for US to take care of US, we should enact the same same trade policies and tariffs as the rest of the world does against us.  Trade needs to be fair and equal.  If its not it simply does not work for the USA anymore and it will cease.   Cucks can go smoke pole.  More americans working now than in a long time.  The only people who are upset are the PC cucks in the US and the world over.

Cucks? In case people don't know, anyone that uses that word is representing the disgusting white supremacist, misogynist ALT-RIGHT movement. It's basically hate speech and based on extremist TROLLING and provocative meme play (Pepe). It exists mostly on the internet but has bled into real life with the election of what the alt-right people call their "God Emperor" -- "trump."  But I appreciate when people out themselves so openly. No need to guess.

International trade and economics are simple when you make no effort to understand them.

 

Let me try to explain one of the simpler aspects of trade deficits.  When the US runs fiscal deficits it needs to borrow money from somewhere.  It borrows the money from countries that have lots of US dollars from selling stuff to us.  These countries buy US treasuries to increase their currency reserves and stabilize their economies.  If you want to reduce the trade deficit, you need to reduce the US fiscal deficit. 

 

In short, the US needs to balance the federal budget and stop borrowing from other countries.  That's how we can eliminate our trade deficit.

 

In case you haven't been paying attention, Trump is running our fiscal deficit to scary new highs.

You told a total fiction about "trump's" approval rating. Do you think it helps your alt-right extremist to case to blatantly push falsehoods that anyone can easily find? I posted the other day the actual facts from the Gallup polling organization. Approval rating currently of 39 percent, HISTORICALLY LOW for any president at this point in his first term. 

 

As far as race issues, check this out --

Quote

According to a February 2018 Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll, two-thirds of Americans are unhappy with the way Trump is handling race relations, including 59 percent of whites and 91 percent of African Americans. Forty-seven percent of adults say things that Trump is doing as president have been bad for African Americans. African Americans are twice as likely as whites to hold that view. And a whopping 57 percent of all Americans say they believe Trump is a racist.

Blocking the lefty loonies helps - their vitoral hatred for President Trump calling him a mass murderer etc is OTT.
