Trump Voter Shocked To Find That Her Meals On Wheels Could Be Cut

It speaks volumes that the paucity of your arguments in support of the Giant Clown means that the only response you can provide to critics is 'get over the election'. The equivalent of poking out your tongue.

Tried to "Like" you mate but was unable to.

 

Seems like a recently-subscribed troll wants some feeding. I would just ignore the poor fellow.

 

You are right though. Meals on wheels, healthcare, you name it: many of those who took the blowhard at his word are and will continue to be victims of his "making American Great" again agenda. And this is only the beginning.

Trump approval rating sinks to new low

 

"President Trump's approval rating has fallen to 37 percent -- the lowest of his fledgling presidency, according to Gallup.

His disapproval rating rose correspondingly, hitting 58 percent."

 

"At this point in his first term, President Obama's approval rating was hovering in the low 60s, while President George W. Bush's was in the mid-50s.

Trump sued over disclosure of personal debts

 

"A Washington lawyer is suing President Donald Trump for allegedly obscuring the extent of his personal debts on his federal financial disclosure form."

 

"Attorney Jeffrey Lovitky filed the case in federal court in Washington this week, claiming that Trump's May 2016 disclosure intermingles his personal indebtedness and loans made to businesses or development projects Trump is affiliated with."

 

"While Trump or his businesses are facing at least four lawsuits alleging unfair competition or violations of the Constitution's foreign emoluments clause, Lovitky's suit makes no claims of impropriety — it simply alleges that the public is being deprived of accurate information about Trump's debts."

Trump, critic of Obama's golfing, regularly hits the links

 

"Trump has visited the two courses near his Mar-a-Lago estate -- Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach and Trump National Golf Course in Jupiter -- 10 times in the first two months of his presidency."

 

"Trump's top aides would rather obscure that fact, especially considering the President's past comments about the sport and the White House."

 

"I'm going to be working for you; I'm not going to have time to go play golf," Trump said during a 2016 event in Virginia.

He's two months into a forty eight month term and you're sure he isn't the guy for the job? You may want to consider keeping an open mind a bit longer before coming to a conclusion. That would be the definition of keeping an open mind.

 

Btw, it's history that judges presidents with the greatest accuracy...

I'm sure.  As are a majority of Americans considering his approval ratings.

 

His plans for the future are based on the populist BS he pledged during the campaigns.  Which were probably formulated by Bannon and crew, who are nut jobs.  So if this is true, and Trump says it is, the future doesn't look bright.

Yes.

 

He was well known as a crass, boorish, ignorant, sexist, draft-dodging, Mafia associating, Arms dealer associating,

Text Book Racist (Paul Ryan's words), exporter of American jobs and materials, (a family business),

while burning the work contractors he did employ in the U.S, while operating a bogus "university", 

before he ever got near  the White House.

(That's just a short list)

As I suspect you will.

Nazi(s) in the white house?

Calls to fire close trump adviser Gorka (good buddy of Breitbart propagandist alt-right white nationalist Bannon) because of his Nazi ties back in Hungary.

I would like to see both Gorka and Bannon fired but don't expect it. That's trump being trump, surrounding himself with such hateful sleazeballs.

 

Gorka failed to disclose his Nazi ties at immigration interviews. That can still be pursued today even though he is now a citizen. He still may have been eligible to become a citizen if he had disclosed them but his legal problem now that it's come out that he failed to disclose them. 

 

 

http://forward.com/news/breaking-news/366282/muslim-group-calls-for-gorkas-firing-after-hungarian-nazi-ties-revealed/?attribution=home-top-story-7-headline

 

Sebastian Gorka, who sits in the Trump White House as deputy assistant to the president just five years after becoming a U.S. citizen, has faced growing controversy about his academic and professional credentials. Critics have also highlighted his past association with racist and anti-Semitic figures in Hungary, where he lived as a citizen for many years before coming to the United States. Questions have been raised, too, about whether he has been granted the security clearances that would ordinarily be necessary for someone working as the president’s chief counter-terrorism consultant.

The story from the Forward claimed that Gorka is a member of Vitézi Rend a far right anti-Semitic Hungarian organization. When the Forward contacted him to ask about the truth of this, Gorka refused to answer. Instead he told them to ask higher ups in the Trump administration.

What we do know for certain is that Gorka did have articles of his published in virulently anti-Semitic newspapers when he lived in Hungary.

Perfect. Some just don't get it.

Just read an article about Trump's lies and how it energizes his base.  The Obama birth certificate was a big one.  Helped get Trump into office.  And many fell for it! LOL 

Nail on the head.  Trump is only a very flawed and stupid man.  It's the people who voted for him who are as much to blame for the bad things which will curse the US on his watch.  As proof of Bannon's influence: The gargantuan increase in already bloated military spending.   Bannon is a military nut.  Just mentioning military stuff gives him a hard on.  He eat breathes and dreams about military.  That's was, in essence, what his former secretary (of many years) said, when asked what best describes her former boss.

Americans are going to need a lot more than group therapy, when some of Trump's disastrous policies take hold.

Trump approval drops to 37% - the worst Gallup poll any president has ever had this early in their term.

Trump Still Hasn't Done Very Much

 

"Trump signed only one substantive piece of legislation since February 20, repealing a minor Obama administration rule

that made it harder for the mentally ill to buy guns."

 

"His push to repeal Obamacare is stumbling on Capitol Hill; his budget seems dead on arrival; his revised travel ban, like the original, has been blocked by a judge." 

 

"Overall, according to the Partnership for Public Service,

he has only filled 20 of the 553 key positions that require Senate confirmation—and has not even picked a nominee for 497 of them."

Trump’s Weary Defenders Face Fresh Worries

 

"Mr. Trump’s allies have begun to wonder if his need for self-expression, often on social media, will exceed his instinct for self-preservation, with disastrous results both for the president and for a party whose fate is now tightly tied to his."

 

"But it’s the obsessiveness and ferocity of Mr. Trump’s pushback against the Russian allegations, often untethered from fact or tact, that is making an uncertain situation worse."

 

"And Mr. Trump’s fixation on fighting is undermining his credibility at a time when he needs to toggle from go-it-alone executive action to collaborative congressional action on ambitious health care, budget and infrastructure legislation."

Editorial suggests that if trump continues being trump (as he has promised and probably can't help himself to change even if he wanted to) most Americans will regard him as a FAKE president.

A President’s Credibility

Trump’s falsehoods are eroding public trust, at home and abroad.

If President Trump announces that North Korea launched a missile that landed within 100 miles of Hawaii, would most Americans believe him? Would the rest of the world? We’re not sure, which speaks to the damage that Mr. Trump is doing to his Presidency with his seemingly endless stream of exaggerations , evidence-free accusations, implausible denials and other falsehoods.

Now he’s stuck in meetings pondering policies and ideologies that matter a whole lot more to the American people than they matter to him. As a candidate, he got to accuse the establishment of trashing the country. He played hype-man for a future in which he’d refresh our ideals. Now he’s accountable in the present to all the men and women whose lives haven’t become fairy tales since he took office. That’s not fun. That’s a full-time job, and that’s the one thing Donald Trump has never wanted.

An examination by The New York Times of records including corporation registrations, private emails and archived websites found that Alterra Worldwide, the real estate firm that would own the hotel and be partners with the Trumps, has business ties in Russia, Kazakhstan and at least two dozen other countries.
