Compare Trump to FDR

[jwoodie]

How does any of that absolve Trump? It's a strawman argument that belongs in 'History', not 'Politics'.

FDR was a straw man?

 

[regent]

Maybe the Great Depression and WWII are a couple of periods in history that one has to live through to understand them. Those that lived through those periods elected FDR four times in a row, and ; America's most outstanding historians have rated FDR "best president".
Whose left?

So now that the left is convinced that Hitler has taken over the White House, let's compare Trump to their idol FDR.

So you say you don't like Trumps temporary ban on immigration when it comes to the 7 most terrorist ridden countries in the world? Compare this to FDR. The U.S. immigration system severely limited the number of German Jews admitted during the Nazi years to about 26,000 annually — but even that quota was less than 25% filled during most of the Hitler era, because the Roosevelt administration piled on so many extra requirements for would-be immigrants.

FDR was also hard on the black population.
The Wagner Act (1935) harmed blacks by making labor union monopolies legal. Economists Thomas E. Hall and J. David Ferguson explained: “By encouraging unionization, the Wagner Act raised the number of insiders (those with jobs) who had the incentive and ability to exclude outsiders (those without jobs). Once high wages have been negotiated, employers are less likely to hire outsiders, and thus the insiders could protect their own interest.”

By giving labor unions the monopoly power to exclusively represent employees in a workplace, the Wagner Act had the effect of excluding blacks, since the dominant unions discriminated against blacks. The Wagner Act had originally been drafted with a provision prohibiting racial discrimination. But the American Federation of Labor successfully lobbied against it, and it was dropped. AFL unions used their new power, granted by the Wagner Act, to exclude blacks on a large scale. Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, and Marcus Garvey were all critical of compulsory unionism

You say Trump is a racist? How about FDR locking up Japanese Americans simply because they had slanty eyes. German Americans were left alone. No doubt, FDR would have hated Trump cuz he is orange, an color which is an obvious sign that he is genetically inferior.

So the next time a vacuous Dim comes up to you and starts railing against Trump, feed them full of these facts. Just be prepared to be shouted down or have your car torched cuz that's all Dims are capable of doing in response.

You left out the rounding up and internment of Japanese Americans after the Pearl Harbor attack.

I agree. Not our best moment as a nation.

As a war president, he won WW2. His domestic and social policies were abominable. In addition to his horrid domestic policies, he also gave Eastern Europe to Russia .

Frankly History has white washed FDR. He surrounded himself with "fellow travelers", folks who had traveled to and were enamored of the Soviet Central Planning model. Look up Henry Wallace and what he believed, Eleanor tried to talk him out of Wallace but he wouldn't hear of it.
