At this moment, this Presidency is not going well

Here’s a way to look at at it. If the economy was as ebullient as the President claims than his approval ratings would be higher. That means either people do not agree with his POV or there is another factor in play keeping his ratings lower.


Alternatively, perhaps the media's approval polls are Fake? Or the people are lying to the pollsters? I know I wouldn't talk to a CNN pollster about Trump, and risk getting crucified in the Media for "racism".

Democrat candidates and anti-trump media almost never talk about the economy. It's all race, all the time.

Only since the "Collusion" line of bullshit blew up in their face.

But it will never be about the Tremendous Trump Economy

Oh yeah I almost forgot that Trump is an asset for a foreign adversary. Considering that it's an indisputable fact according to the mainstream press and the entire democrat establishment it's weird that they don't even talk about it anymore.
 
You might not like it, but its a two party system.

Does President Trump have all of the answers? Of course not.

But the alternative is a dim bulb like Sleepy Joe or Mayor Petey who knows a whole lot less and whose plan is the New Green Deal written by a bartender in the Bronx.

I don't see the Democrat Plan as doing anything but destroying the US economy, especially among minorities and those in Flyover country.
I just made a few points, with specifics. No one has refuted them.

I also expressed hope that things will improve, with specifics. And they might.

So we'll see.

No you didn’t, you posted a bunch of talking points with nothing but conjecture. Is unemployment lowest in 60 years yes or no? Let’s start there
Yes it is. Unfortunately, it's not driving either growth or inflation. Treasury yields have crashed. The Fed is having to drop rates to deal with weakness. Consumer and corporate debt are getting high. Markets are nervous and expecting further cuts, like 50bps.

This is my profession. If you want to try this, you'll have to do better than talk radio platitudes and simplistic data.

Go ahead.
.
Why do you suppose that is? He’s having to do it on his own, no gop no dem wanting the success. Feds raised interest rates for no reason! Fact that curbed growth when it wasn’t needed And you’re bitching at trump. Again two words
He's a wanna be King, he is NOT a Leader.

Leaders take advice from their advisors, they don't fire them so they can put in simply yes men.

Trump is in, WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY over his head, and has no idea what to do about it, because he won't rely on those who have more expertise than he ever could... he's woefully unfit for the job.... and proving it daily, to those who have eyes to see, and ears to hear.
Good leaders surround themselves with people who believe in the policies. If one doesn’t, a good leader removes them and replaces them.

Good leaders stand behind their decisions. And lead. Sometimes sacrifices are needed. How many men died on the drop of D day? Sacrifice it’s what good leaders depend on

Legitimate people with shit to do do not respond to polls....illegitimate filth with nothing to do do respond to polls...Simple shit.
 
Come on guys, jeezus, let's at least try to stick with reality here.

The reality is Trump is a flawed man and is a mess but some of the things you wrote about, well one I believe is something he is correct on.

I will say it again I am not a Trump fanboy but he has not destroyed the country or world like many have believed he would and I am one that believed he would...

We now live in a nation where the federal authorities had to be ordered by a judge to provide toothbrushes to children in their custody. They didn’t want to give kids a way to brush their teeth.

Judges Rule Detained Migrant Children Entitled to Soap, Toothpaste

Really, let that sink in. You support a man who thinks that kids shouldn’t be entitled to soap and toothpaste while in custody of our federal authorities.

And now, it has come out that the same kids will not get the flu shot while in your blob’s care and custody.

3 migrant children have died from flu in custody, but US won't provide vaccines

So as more kids are put into the cage…some may have the flu…those already there are now susceptible to catching it, spreading it, dying from it.

And you’re going to vote for this piece of shit?
You should be more specific. They didn't just die of flu and if they are given vaccines and die or are injured from the vaccines due to their already compromised health before they were brought into the country illegally there is also a liability in that.

Not really sure why it’s hard to see the point….

We are detaining kids and denying them vaccines that would prevent their getting sick when we bring in more kids who may be infected with influenza which is a deadly disease….

Up until recently, we were also denying kids soap and toothpaste.

Anyone who supports the blob at this point has a sadistic streak in them .
 
Why do you suppose that is? He’s having to do it on his own, no gop no dem wanting the success. Feds raised interest rates for no reason! Fact that curbed growth when it was needed And you’re bitching at trump. Again two words
I'm merely pointing out where we are. The Fed wanted to increase interest rates so it would have downside room when the economy cycled down. It has to do that.

Trump is not a victim. Giving him all the credit for the good stuff and blaming everyone else for the bad stuff is transparent, tedious and silly.
.
Nope, every economist said that increase was not needed. They brought it back down because they were wrong. There were no inflation signs at all. They were all deflation signs, still are. Maybe you’re too close and not objective to other views
That just isn't true. There were arguments in both directions from economists, and yes, I definitely wanted to punch Janet Yellen in the nose for constantly talking about raising rates. But they stopped, and Powell thrilled the market when he adopted a dovish approach. What neither the economy nor markets liked was this trade war, just as things were heating up.

On March 1, 2018, Trump announced tariffs and steel and aluminum, and the market freaked. Since then, nearly 19 months, the market is up a total of 5.86% and bond yields have crashed, reflecting the concern of markets on the effect of tariffs on the economy. That was his choice, but looking at GDP since then, it looks like markets were right.
.

"On March 1, 2018, Trump announced tariffs and steel and aluminum, and the market freaked."""

And on March 6, Trump's senior economic advisor, Gary Cohn, resigned. I knew then we were in for trouble.
Cohn was vehemently against Trump starting a trade war with no game plan or strategy. Just petulance.
Trump flies by the seat of his size 46 waist pants.

This week, President Xi of Red China announce tariffs against American manufacturers.

Not a whisper, not a syllable from the media
It isn’t important to them , they back China

More people want trump in 2020 then evah.

Keep saying no path to the White House over and over and over
 
Not that it really matters to some, but we're not really in a good place at the moment. Things could turn, and most of us continue to hope for the best. But, as of early morning, August 24, here we are:

The Economy
While the unemployment figures look very good on their face, they are clearly not translating to growth, especially at the cost of the exploding deficit that temporarily goosed the economy. GDP is currently at 2.1%, but we can certainly remain hopeful that it will reverse course and increase. There have been spotty signs that growth-push inflation may be ticking up, but the trade war is clearly effecting sentiment (not to mention data) at a terribly delicate moment. Right now, this is a decent economy, at best, with consumers lacking the resources to push it and their household debt above 2008 levels.

Trade With China
Our President doesn't appear to understand that China is paying attention. They realize quite well that he's trying to bully them into a trade deal, like an eight-year old boy trying to bully another child out of their lunch at the playground. Meanwhile, Trump exhibits zero (0) understanding of the fact that China can theoretically out-wait us here, since they don't have those pesky elections to worry about all that much if the populace gets pissed off. While anything is certainly possible, it's tough to imagine China making any long term commitments until after they see who they're dealing with in January of 2021.

International Relations
Our President has not only isolated himself and his country from the rest of the world with his actions, but also with his petulant behaviors. Even for those of us who have done all we can to lower our standards and expectations of his child-like behavior, the thought of this goofy, pointless dust-up with Denmark (Denmark!) makes us wonder if this man can get along with anyone outside his base. Meanwhile, the crazy fat kid in North Korea is shooting off rockets like he's in charge of the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Like China, the world is clearly looking ahead, with hope, to November 2020.

The Wall
Trump's signature, paranoid, shallow, hyper-simplistic election issue piece isn't exactly flying up with checks to pay for it coming in from Mexico. Even with the White House, House and Senate, this President wasn't able to do much more than slap up a few new two by fours to fix some areas of our existing wall. Any completely "new" wall is spotty at best, and now he's ready to steal cash from one place to placate his base with a few miles of a much less Trumpish wall here and there. Gee, great, so much for that idea. I guess "Build! The! Wall!" could still serve as a standby rally chant when needed.

Race
Well, examining this topic is most likely a waste of time here, since there are many on this board who are telling us that racism no longer exists, or it's fake news, or that if you don't show up to work wearing a white hood you can't be a racist. What a disaster. And minorities are supposed to ignore all of it, because the unemployment rate is down at the moment. While the sycophants continue to run interference for the President Who Doesn't Know Who David Duke is, the rest of the country and the rest of the world are simply not buying the bullshit. But it sure sounds good on talk radio.

The silver lining? By far the most "successful" component of the Trump years will probably turn out to be the courts. The SC is in good shape for them, and they now have the added bonus of hoping that Ruth is quickly ravaged by cancer and dies soon. Ditto (no pun intended) for the lower courts, the nominations of which don't make much news but sure look like Sean Hannity picked 'em.

Could the economy turn back up? Yes, definitely, hopefully, but some kind of GOOD trade deal with China is now pretty much mandatory for that to happen. The Courts are the Courts. They'll probably be able to gather enough Lego™ blocks to build enough of a wall somewhere to keep talk radio and the base happy. International Relations? Race Relations? Pffffft. Who cares. Fake news.
.
China - his latest empty threat telling US firms not to buy Chinese is a good example of his ignorance. The Chinese fella could actually do that tomorrow. I believe that he has the power.

But it is facile to designate corporations as US or whatever. Its more complex than that, those days are gone.
 
What's not going well is the democrat hysteria. It's getting much worse. Notably a bit frightening is democrat support for antifa. By election day antifa will have been supported by democrats into house to house searches for suspected Republicans.

They are dealing with children that should not have been brought here in the first place. That illegal entry is where the problem starts.

First they have to determine who is actually the parent and the parent needs to give consent for vaccines to be given. Simply insure they stay in their own countries and apply to enter legally, problem solved.

Forcing all illegally entered children to be subjected to the side effects of vaccines would be a travesty too. Perhaps you believe in human experimentation but not everyone agrees with you. Those children that died had other underlying health issues. You can't just give a vaccine and claim it will all be good. Sepsis is a deadly disease, so are many other diseases and unknown parasites, etc. cause medical complications that these people are coming in with. Those issues should all have to be addressed before any vaccine could be given and that needs to be done when they get back to their country of origin. Best possible solution when they came illegally is a more expedient deportation process to get them back to their home countries where they belong.

Even for those of us who have done all we can to lower our standards and expectations of his child-like behavior, the thought of this goofy, pointless dust-up with Denmark (Denmark!) makes us wonder if this man can get along with anyone outside his base. Meanwhile, the crazy fat kid in North Korea is shooting off rockets like he's in charge of the Fourth of July celebration at the park. Like China, the world is clearly looking ahead, with hope, to November 2020.

The Wall
Trump's signature, paranoid, shallow, hyper-simplistic election issue piece isn't exactly flying up with checks to pay for it coming in from Mexico. Even with the White House, House and Senate, this President wasn't able to do much more than slap up a few new two by fours to fix some areas of our existing wall. Any completely "new" wall is spotty at best, and now he's ready to steal cash from one place to placate his base with a few miles of a much less Trumpish wall here and there. Gee, great, so much for that idea. I guess "Build! The! Wall!" could still serve as a standby rally chant when needed.

Race
Well, examining this topic is most likely a waste of time here, since there are many on this board who are telling us that racism no longer exists, or it's fake news, or that if you don't show up to work wearing a white hood you can't be a racist. What a disaster. And minorities are supposed to ignore all of it, because the unemployment rate is down at the moment. While the sycophants continue to run interference for the President Who Doesn't Know Who David Duke is, the rest of the country and the rest of the world are simply not buying the bullshit. But it sure sounds good on talk radio.

The silver lining? By far the most "successful" component of the Trump years will probably turn out to be the courts. The SC is in good shape for them, and they now have the added bonus of hoping that Ruth is quickly ravaged by cancer and dies soon. Ditto (no pun intended) for the lower courts, the nominations of which don't make much news but sure look like Sean Hannity picked 'em.

Could the economy turn back up? Yes, definitely, hopefully, but some kind of GOOD trade deal with China is now pretty much mandatory for that to happen. The Courts are the Courts. They'll probably be able to gather enough Lego™ blocks to build enough of a wall somewhere to keep talk radio and the base happy. International Relations? Race Relations? Pffffft. Who cares. Fake news.

While I appreciate a supposedly thoughtful and well-constructed OP...this is the tallest pile of crap out of you yet. It's wrong on each subject and little more a list of DNC lies....ie toxic TDS.
Okay, please feel free to point out the errors.
