Indeed they are!

And then some.

As to Coburn, he's simply not got the minerals where leadership is concerned. Which is why that will never happen.

They are all a shower of inept bastards really.

a reply to: Steveogold

Quite a few of rest of the nations of the world used to somewhat look up to the USA and aspire to emulate your once great country.

That's just not the case any longer, the rest of the world has somewhat lost the desire for Americans "stink" these days.

Should probably clarify, i don't mean the people, but the politicians and the way they meddle abroad and attempt to Police the world, same with my own nation to a fashion.

Trump had the help of the media. Their constant negative coverage of him only strengthened their devotion to him because they see the media as establishment and if they are attacking Trump then he MUST be anti-establishment! Suckers. The establishment played reverse psychology on them and they fell for it.

Nothing to do with him helping them to earn advertising revenue. They get a narrative, he gets exposure. Win-win.

They aren't the suckers.

My favorite part about trump is he showed us how two faced liberals truly are. For that he gets a pass in my books. Also like trump for not being politically correct, calling out the media for what they are and keeping many of his promises.

A day will come when we will wish for another trump in power. As hard as that is to believe.

Enjoy this president while you can america , the establishment and deep state will never allow another one like him ever again .....

I wasn't talking about the media I was talking about those who support Trump no matter what. They are the suckers, so are the ones who take the media's words as gospel. Two brainwashed camps being pitted against each other and being none the wiser about their own manipulation.

I remember the 80's when greed was good and Trump and Ivana had centre page spreads in glossy magazines and weekend supplements, showing off their bling and extolling the lavish lifestyle.

Thought he was a dick then, think he is a dick now.

However, at this point, he is projecting a very undicklike jaw-jaw is better than war-war. I like he has opened dialogue with both NK and Russia, sad he does not appear to be so keen to talk to either Syria or Iran.

I think that his direct approach unsettles otherwise smug and complacent career politicians and diplomats and this can only be a good thing.

UK media loves to ridicule American presidents (remember Ford? Regular treats to pure slapstick, on the BBC!), lampooning the great and the good is a common British pastime and Trump, along with all the rest, deserves everything he gets.

I think that Trump represents the idiocracy.

He seems to believe that popularity alone will solve problems. This is evidenced in that he claimed to have affected jobless figures after he was elected, but before he had taken office.

He also shuffles money and resources around to get better looking figures, but with no real change in totals or actual increase in fiscal terms. He robs Peter, to pay Paul.

He has a massive military budget ($700,000,000,000 for 2018) which is the primary issues with GDP, yet he fluffs around with Immigration ($15,600,000,000) as if it was a major issue. (The other thing is that immigration could also be monetized. As a business man, Trump is artificially limiting a potential source of capital gain).

There have been rather large payouts to large corporates and banks in the past which have very poor return. Yet Trump is reducing the load on large capital concerns (tax cuts & etc) and this must be passing the load on to the average American worker.

And finally, there is a really weird attitude of Trump supporters that borders on the religious. They will forgive him and will invent all sorts of excuses for his actions and words. It's like the Germans who lost bowel and bladder control during Hitler's speeches, they were so overcome. Just creepy!

America had a few problems and wasn't 'broken' before Trump's campaign suggested that it could be "made great again" (was it ever that great?) yet he is smashing away at the rights, freedoms and laws that kept the government balanced and fair, suggesting that it was a swamp.

Trump is not enabling fairer and flatter government structures he is replacing what he demolishes with a totalitarian autocracy focused only upon himself.

And I think he has signs of sociopathy and dementia in what he says and does.

The immigration controls would be a boon for American taxpayers in the form of an annual $57.4 billion tax cut — the amount taxpayers spend every year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low-skilled legal immigrants.

Based on that data, he's doing exactly as he should regarding immigration.

To the thread in general, American here, and nice to see a lot of folks elsewhere know we have such a great guy in office!

There would still be illegal immigrants. The tax cut would not be anything because schooling, welfare and crime aren't purely an immigrant thing. They'd all still exist because those things are endemic in the citizenry.

The tax cut would be to make the immigrants pay for themselves. E.g: if they cause more crime, they pay more in taxes to fight it. If they are uneducated, then they pay for their education (I thought that was the way it worked for higher education in the US anyway) and as for welfare, the working ones are taxed to pay for the malingerers.

The tax cut would be because no money would be spent on welfare for legal immigrants or illegal aliens. That would amount to, as stated, a HUGE savings. Plus, citizens who are currently turned down, who actually need welfare, would have a better chance of receiving it. I don't think we should be bringing in people who cannot support themselves. It's not like we have a shortage of people, either. Schooling our own citizens is a lot different from schooling foreign citizens. Let them get that in their home countries.

My wife is a non US citizen. She will be a citizen in time for 2020. She said she is voting Trump.

Here is à dutchman Living in THE Bahamas
What i Find of Trump.

Well i have to smile because he he is so different than all the other presidents that are still alive.

I think that he is not doing so bad. I hope that he can clean the government of corruption.
Trump is not an politician and because he is'nt , he can shake the whole system.
Iam very happy that iT was not Hillary because this world would be already in WW3.

I wish all Americans the best of luck for THE coming years.

UK

Trump is a living legend, saviour of the free world and the best president in US history

Basically I like him a lot

Not only do tens of millions of Americans love him, but hundreds of millions across the entire western world love him, he’s just what we needed when we most needed it

Fk the globalist elites, fk the NWO and fk the Marxist communists and socialist

An American in the very liberal Illinois but only because of Chicago and the 5 collar counties. Everyone always says his tax cuts are only for the super rich so they’re bad. I’m a lowly hourly worker with only a highschool education that requires a couple hundred hours of overtime to sniff 40k a year including cashing in 3 weeks of vacation instead of actually taking a vacation (which Ive only taken one vacation day in the past 5 years and have only missed 4 days of work in 11 years because I was in the hospital which with no insurance then had to pay over 10k in bills and that was only because the hospital decided I didn’t need to pay the 35k because I was to poor which all of you ended up having to pay and would have had to pay atleast the same amount with the aca) and working 10 holidays on time and a half in a Chicago suburb with a high cost of living. Anything other than a studio apartment or a rats nest with a roommate is out of reach unless I want to live without anything beyond the basic necessities or drive an hour or more to work every day. By the end of the year I’ll have about 6k more in my bank account than I would have had before the tax cut without making any significant changes in my lifestyle so all the it only benefits the rich is nonsense. I live in a high tax County in a high tax state and he has benefitted me greatly.

If your existence and job pisses off so much of the establishment just because you are and they’ve been crying for your impeachment for no reason other than you won instead of the person whose turn it was to win then that’s a good thing. If you go back to the election all the criers were moaning more about how they were mad that they couldn’t be part of history in electing the first female president than they were that it was trump that won. That’s why Obama won. He had done nothing and people wanted to say they helped elect the first black president. It’s the same with the last election. Anyone other than Hillary would have beaten trump and anyone other than trump would have beaten Hillary. She was a terrible candidate that used her position and name to screw Bernie which was probably a blessing since anyone that works for a living would be screwed if he got what he wants.

Trump atleast is trying to do what he said he would unlike pretty much any other president. Everyone is all lovey dovey over HW now that he died but he campaigned over not ever raising taxes and then immediately raised taxes and allowed saddam to keep power for over a decade when he and his regime could have been gone in a week.

The most transparent presidency ever” was the most non transparent ever. He ridiculed Romney for saying Russia was a threat and all of a sudden now they are the greatest threat the world has ever known.

There are people on both sides that will back their side no matter but the trump haters have gotten absurd. If he flipped his stance and went all one payer healthcare, raised everyone’s taxes to 60% and told people they had to go to an abortion clinic with someone and pay for it out of their pocket then his supporters will turn on him. On the other end if he stopped global warming ( whether you believe it’s man made or not) cured world hunger, brought about world peace that lasted for a thousand years and turned the entire planet vegan there would be anti trumpers complaining that he only brought about world peace for a thousand years.

While I have been reading the site for about 5 years I did make an account just to reply to this. I support trump because he benefits me more than a Democrat has and while that is totally selfish I don’t care. I work at a place that has been around for over 100 years and this year has been the best year we’ve ever had. We have multiple facilities in the us as well as South America, the Middle East and Asia(yes I know the Middle East is Asia). I’ve had no problem dealing with anyone other than people that work at my facility who I’ve had normal conversations with that when I need them to fill out a form or interview all of a sudden need an interpreter. Immigration is an issue when the immigrants refuse to assimilate. Europe will learn that soon. While he may offend people so what as long as it’s best for his country. If you stop illegals from coming in and undercutting everyone for jobs eventually those jobs are going to have to pay more to get the positions filled. If prices have to go up then you should probably happy that more people are getting paid than people are getting taken advantage of and sending all of their money out of the country instead of being spent here. Liberal arts majors need to make money so why not make and spend it here where it actually benefits us and them.

If you hate trump then hate him for what he does and not because he doesn’t belong to your party or because you didn’t get to be part of history. He’s done good for the average joe so far and is actually trying to do what he campaigned on.

Australia here. My opinion of trump is that he is a psychopath. Not full on but well on the way. All talk but seems to achieve next to nothing except for his business mates. He has very little understanding of economics and what is more, he does not care that he knows nothing. That is the big worry with this crazy man. He simply does not care.

a reply to: flashbackjack

I am a person who has to be very careful about what I spend my money on so I am not made of money. Moreover, I have absolutely nothing in common with a billionaire. Such people are so high up in the world they are way up in the clouds, they are invisible while I. like millions of others am at risk of drowning, that they have little to no understanding of what live is like for the masses and nor do they care.

I do not subscribe to any of the "Get Trump Out" campaign which sprung up over night when Clinton lost the presidential race.

IM Assessment Trump has been penned up like a sheep in a cattle truck. Absent a huge change, he will achieve little or nothing as president. If anything; I tend to think he wont survive his presidential term alive. Such is the clintion and Jewish hatred for the man.
