Americans fed up with Trump

I guess you don't get out much. Plenty of former Trump supporters complaining about Trump costing them their livelihoods.

 

The biggest expense items in the federal budget are Medicare and Social Security. Trump and Musk are working on privatizing them, which opens up new opportunities for corruption. Modern day carpetbaggers.

 

Be very nervous if you are getting any SS payments.

You have to understand... People want what Trump is doing. They voted for it. The Democrats have taken every turn to stop what he does and to make him look bad in the press. They use fear mongering when there is no proof to be afraid. They twist what happens into something bad that he did or is doing. UNTIL, it is proven the Dems were wrong. Then the Dems backtrack or drop their attack in that area. 

I think the ratings for approval will vary until such time as the people see the methods Trump is using are actually working for them. I think the job markets will open millions of businesses as well as the budget deficit decline dramatically. Also, if the stupid Dems don't put a halt to the deportation of all those illegals you may find that the country is safer and the people are not walking around their neighborhoods in fear. Also, the Dems seized a lot of their support or (Trumps lower approval rating simply because no-one knows what will happen with these trade deficits. Will they hurt or help the US economy? 

 

I think the Dems are also crating rife with their LGBT+++ crusade when people just want their children safer in schools and growing up without pressure to be one of them without truly understanding what LGBT+++ really is. The Dems have put up a fight. on every front Trump has tried to make changes to. 

 

Your comment about SS payments is ridiculous. They do not seek to take away payments from people who are justly due them. They seek to find the overpayments as well as those who lied on their SS applications like all those people they found dead but still getting payments. You should be happy about this since SS is struggling to survive but fears for many years that there will not be enough money to continue it for our children and grandchildren.  

The poster of this OP is one of those trying to incite fear only. 

By the way, I am not a MAGA fan. I am a fan of making the US safer and stronger and richer. My kids will be there struggling if things are not changed. 

[jerrymahoney]

Not for the kids to worry. Jobs and factories are gonna come "roaring back into our country."

Trump has said it. Karoline Leavitt probably has said it, too.

Americans fed up with Trump

 

Funny.  Politico (that bastion of all things right wing and MAGA) says even Californians are tired of the anti-Trumpers.

 

California voters have Trump-resistance fatigue, poll finds

 

Ignore them at your peril, Dems.  But, paraphrasing Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction, they just can't.  It's in their nature.  Which is another way of saying that's all they have.  No plan at all to address the debt, the border or anything.  Just Orange Man Bad.  Which worked so well in November.

 

California voters have Trump-resistance fatigue, poll finds - POLITICO

It seems that at least 5 of the 9 American members of the US Supreme Court may be getting fed up with Trump:

US Supreme Court temporarily blocks deportations of Venezuelan migrants under wartime law

"The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court," the justices said earlier in a brief, unsigned decision.

The ACLU said the administration was poised to deport the men using a 1798 law that historically has been employed only in wartime without affording them a realistic opportunity to contest their removal - as the Supreme Court had ordered.

"We are confident in the lawfulness of the Administration's actions and in ultimately prevailing against an onslaught of meritless litigation brought by radical activists who care more about the rights of terrorist aliens than those of the American people," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

I'm sorry, I don't understand how blanket tariffs will make Americans safer, stronger, and richer.

 

How will alienating every US ally make you safer?

 

China has already embargoed export of rare earths to the USA. Those elements are vital for military hardware. How does that make you stronger?

 

How does it make you richer, when everything imported into the USA costs more to buy?

 

Your SS and Medicare systems have about $123 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Do you think that's going to be solved by finding a few overpayments and dead people?

 

There's an object lesson in Australia, if Americans care to look. There was an overpayment system called Robodebt. It caused several suicides, and terminated the careers of several politicians and senior bureaucrats. They were lucky, they should have been jailed.

They are in USA via TPS, emphasis on the 'T' part.   I think I would have made plans to go elsewhere while in the USA.  Just a thought.  About 3 mill in Pakistan also getting ready to be sent back.  

 

Sucks being born in some countries.   Maybe if they would have fought or helped the USA when there, against the Taliban, instead of running, the Taliban might not be in control of the country.

 

USA can't be the saviors of the world.  Especially when there's US citizens homeless and 40 million on some kind of fed or state assistance to feed their families.

 

If Biden cared, he could have given them US citizenship, or some other means of protection.  IF HE CARED, or the other 535 idiots in gov't.

 

edit;  If you care about them, I'm sure there's a program, where you could sponsor them, in the USA or some other country, at your expense.  IF YOU CARE.

 

Some people complain, some talk, some do ... which are you ?

 

Why you waiting till last minute to help, has been ongoing for years.  IF YOU CARED, you'd have help a long time ago.   Here's how you can, or could have help ... 

 

 

And to add ... NO, I don't care.  I don't care about people that run from their country, when the country needs them.   They had 3 choices ...

... fight against the Taliban, for a country they wanted

... fight with the Taliban, for their version of the country

... or run away from the country, and hope someone saves them

 

LIVE WITH YOUR CHOICE

Quote:

"However, the claim that Carney had orchestrated the bond sell-off alongside the European Union and Japan was not confirmed."

 

Not confirmed but interesting. If Canada. Mexico, the EU, etc.. are able to coordinate their response instead of just reacting individually, Trump is screwed. However, I'm not sure they are able to do that.

and more and more start to feel betrayed by the fake promises that he made to help middle class families, he never intended to help anybody else but his billionaires friends, Amazon, Meta, Apple all invested a 1million on his charade inauguration and now it's payback time, let's tax the poor and the middle class families and give a break to the rich ones

I have several American friends here. They are not happy with what Trump is doing.

 

There are American posters on ASEAN who have clearly demonstrated their dismay.

 

Or you could look at opinion polls.

 

Just because your family and friends confirm your cognitive bias does not mean everyone does.

Democracy is a sophism.

Polls reflect biases.

Making things right makes lots of people unhappy, and many people benefited from Biden's waste of funds.

And having American friends who are not happy about Trump does not make Trump wrong.

And bureaucracy will fight democracy, as bureaucrats benefit from wasted funds...

And bureaucracy's strategy will always be to try to create a cognitive bias, to their advantage.

And the resulting bad perception towards Trump does not make them right...

[jerrymahoney]

If it turns out that the Supreme Court majority is fed up with Trump not only for his use of the 1789 Alien Enemies Act to justify deportations but also the use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to justify tariffs when the IEEPA says nothing about tariffs, this could turn into a whole different ball game.

Well then, perhaps looking at what the 'left' does will help.

The 'left', no more critical thinking when confronted with common sense, all look lobotomized, and of course they show up in the polls.

How do you develop a good perception of a felon, sexual predator, and serial liar who boasts cheating contractors is good business?

 

How do you perform the mental gymnastics which enable you to think tariffs are a good thing which will not increase living costs for Americans, and will not alienate allies?

 

IMO such sophistry is only possible for someone with their head embedded in their ass.
