Trump’s First Year Was Even Worse Than Feared

[Siete]

Grit your teeth. Persevere. Just a few more days and this awful, rotten, no-good, ridiculous, rancorous, sordid, disgraceful year in the civic life of our nation will be over. Here's hoping that we all — particularly special counsel Robert S. Mueller III — have a better 2018.

Many of us began 2017 with the consoling thought that the Donald Trump presidency couldn't possibly be as bad as we feared. It turned out to be worse.

Did you ever think you would hear a president use the words "very fine people" to describe participants in a torch-lit rally organized by white supremacists, neo- Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan? Did you ever think you would hear a U.S. ambassador to the United Nations thuggishly threaten that she would be "taking names" of countries that did not vote on a General Assembly resolution the way she wanted? Did you ever think the government of the world's biggest military and economic power would reject not just science but also empiricism itself, preferring to use made-up "alternative facts" as the basis for major decisions?

We knew that Trump was narcissistic and shallow, but on Inauguration Day it was possible to at least hope he was self-aware enough to understand the weight that now rested on his shoulders, and perhaps grow into the job. He did not. If anything, he has gotten worse.

Here are the reasons why:

Opinion | Trump’s first year was even worse than feared

Your butt hurt whining is funny bro.

and your ass breath hypocrisy is sad ..

in typical RW fashion $1.5 TRILLION DOLLARS got added on the deficit while Trumpdrones wiped off their chin with a big grin thanking Goldilocks.

If Clinton had done that in 11 months every dipshit RW'r would be shittin' bricks whining about how the country was doomed, and the end was near.

Over ten years sooo much better than 10 trillion in eight like that loser obummer

Obama reduced the deficit significantly over his term, except for 2016 it crept up a bit. Deficit was large at start of his term because of the mortgage meltdown clusterfuck. You'll never see debt reduction until you eliminate annual deficit, and thanks to trumps tax plan, the deficit will grow more along with more cumulative debt.
When CBO says $1.5 trillion, they mean what will be added to the already increasing debt. 2017 will already have bigger deficit than 2016. Congrats to the fiscal conservatives.

anyone with a brain would like to believe knowing the difference between federal deficit and national debt would be mandatory before entering an intelligent conversation about one or the other - but its six of one half a dozen of the other to RW idiots.

F'em

Don't forget Donny decreased the debt by $102 billion in his first six months.

FACT CHECK: Has the National Debt Fallen by $102 Billion Since Donald Trump's Inauguration?
What else can I teach you?

 

[miketx]

“To understand how deviant the Trump administration is, consider this: Since its founding, the nation has treasured civilian control of the military as a restraint on adventurism. Now we must rely on three generals — Trump's chief of staff, his national security adviser and his secretary of defense — to keep this rash and erratic president from careering off the rails.”

Only president that has need multiple babysitters to keep him from starting WWIII or ruining the country more than he has already.

Trump has all but ceded his role as Commander-in-Chief to his generals. We know this because of the botched mission in Niger where four American Marines were killed and Trump acted like he didn't know about the mission at all. We found out about it in the press. Something that a Commander-in-Chief should know first. Either Trump ordered that mission and didn't know the consequences (in which case, he wasn't listening to his generals) or he didn't order the mission (in which case, he's not Commander-in-Chief).

The four dead Marines in Niger deserve no less than 7 different investigations to find out what the hell happened.

Every despicable thing he does is always excused by his cult. View attachment 167980

He hasn't done anything despicable. Now jughead, on the other hand.....

What else can I teach you?

Learn to READ

A conservative web site accurately describes a remarkable decline in the debt since January 2017, but offers no evidence that the President is responsible for it.

 

[Reasonable]

Remember when the GOP used to bill themselves the party of fiscal responsibility?

Well adding $1.5 trilllion to the debt blows that out of the water and this:

Sec of the Interior Ryan Zinke flew the head of a National Park 3,000 miles to DC just to reprimand him for tweeting about climate change.
Wtf?

Zinke reprimanded park head after climate tweets

The words CLIMATE CHANGE has been removed from the EPA web site and Trump and co. are not only pretending it doesn’t exist federal employees are now forbidden to even mention the words.

This is what YOUR government has descended to.

If we afford to lower taxes it cannot be real times of war, under any form of Capitalism.

Standing down on income stream dictates our fiscal policy.

Opinion | Trump’s first year was even worse than feared

Your boy, Eugene Robinson is just one of many liberal twits parroting the Democrat Party talking points...and YOU are a useful idiot. President Trump has done more good things for this country in less than one year than the rube, Obama did in eight years. One of his highest and most welcome accomplishments is the dismantling of many of Obama's illegal executive orders. Another is the his decision to leave the management of military operation to the field command, unlike the micromanaging by Barack Obama that prolonged the engagements and caused increased deaths of American soldiers.

It is Obama that is a total failure as President. Trump is doing great things despite the resistance and obstruction of the sick Democrat Party, the RINOs and the Never-Trumper idiots.

If the Democrats do not wake up and support the efforts to truly improve this country and the well being of all its citizens, they will suffer greatly at the polls in November. In that regard, I welcome their futile obstruction. I look forward to the demise of the Democrat Party. It is the party of lunatic 'leaders' and useful idiot followers...not unlike YOU.

Yeah "believe" being the operative word here..... plenty of people "believe" that the Earth was created in 6 days too, however that doesn't lend any credibility to the assertion.

Please show me where in the Holy Bible it defines many hours, weeks, months or millennia were in a day at that time.

But it was A-OK for your hero, the obummer, to add 6 to 8 trillion to the debt for nothing at all. Hypocrite much?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^
absolutely the weakest argument in the history of mankind ..

Obama did it so Trump can do it too.


if thats not the epitome of hypocrisy nothing is.

THE END.

Than explain, why Trump can't do what Barry was doing?

Likely 8 years of Obama has more to do with it than T-Rump, but you'd never admit that.
