In defense of Trump.

100 Ways, in 100 Days, that Trump Has Hurt Americans

Trump’s actions during his first 100 days in office have time and again benefitted corporations and the wealthy at the expense of ordinary Americans.

"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies." Timothy Snyder 'On Tyranny'

If only you were right about Don being a noninterventionist. I voted for him for this reason, but his actions prove otherwise. The cold blooded murder of the Iranian general on a peace mission, could have easily spiraled into a big war. His constant aggressive military actions and sanctions on Russia, China, and Iran could easily lead to war. We still have troops in Syria, Afghanistan, and Iraq (along with numerous other nations), indicates your faith in him is misguided. His coup attempts in Venezuela, backing an unelected tyrant supported by the transnational capitalists, and his deadly sanctions on that nations, prove you’re wrong.

I apologize if I make people uncomfortable. I do not come from a different place, but I do come from a different time. The first time I remember being political was in junior high school; in those days it was not called middle school. I wore a campaign button for John F. Kennedy. Mr. May, our social studies teacher, allowed it.

There were picture posters on the wall that kept a running count of the intercontinental missiles we had compared to the Soviet Union. Our textbooks portrayed Russian women as kerchiefed, toothless riders of tractors. I remember being surprised that when Lee Harvey Oswald returned to the US he brought a Russian wife, Marina, who was quite beautiful.

Mr. May told us to watch Kennedy debate Nixon, and Nixon’s sweaty brow, hanging jowls, and shifty eyes did him in. Kennedy won, and my thirteen-year-old mind was pleased even if I had some sleepless nights listening to distant fire whistles blow during tests to warn the public of nuclear attacks.

On his way out, President Dwight D. Eisenhower made a speech for history. Eisenhower had been a military general, but oddly, he was warning of a growing military industrial complex. I watched the speech, but it was way over my adolescent head. It was apparently over the heads of millions of adults as well.

Donald Trump is no perfect specimen of history, but a lot of us voted for him because the US is hated in the Middle East due to the interventional military adventurism that makes US corporations and politicians rich. Did we not escape the Great depression by winning WW2 with industrial fortitude? Yes, we did. Does that mean we must use war to force our way of life on the poorest of the human race? We think not.

Trump had a frustrating relationship with his National Security Advisor, John Bolton. In trump’s words, “Bolton just wants to bomb everybody”. Trump is a builder, not a destroyer. Do we need another World Trade Center to understand that? Trump’s voters may the true progressives; we want to try a different way.

We want to lead the world by example, not by the sword. We can keep a strong military for our defense but not an offensive defense to make politicians rich. We need to go back and listen to Eisenhower’s warning. Trump will make war on our crumbling infrastructure, not on distant places most cannot find on a map.

I apologize if I make people uncomfortable. I do not come from a different place, but I do come from a different time. The first time I remember being political was in junior high school; in those days it was not called middle school. I wore a campaign button for John F. Kennedy. Mr. May, our social studies teacher, allowed it.

There were picture posters on the wall that kept a running count of the intercontinental missiles we had compared to the Soviet Union. Our textbooks portrayed Russian women as kerchiefed, toothless riders of tractors. I remember being surprised that when Lee Harvey Oswald returned to the US he brought a Russian wife, Marina, who was quite beautiful.

Mr. May told us to watch Kennedy debate Nixon, and Nixon’s sweaty brow, hanging jowls, and shifty eyes did him in. Kennedy won, and my thirteen-year-old mind was pleased even if I had some sleepless nights listening to distant fire whistles blow during tests to warn the public of nuclear attacks.

On his way out, President Dwight D. Eisenhower made a speech for history. Eisenhower had been a military general, but oddly, he was warning of a growing military industrial complex. I watched the speech, but it was way over my adolescent head. It was apparently over the heads of millions of adults as well.

Donald Trump is no perfect specimen of history, but a lot of us voted for him because the US is hated in the Middle East due to the interventional military adventurism that makes US corporations and politicians rich. Did we not escape the Great depression by winning WW2 with industrial fortitude? Yes, we did. Does that mean we must use war to force our way of life on the poorest of the human race? We think not.

Trump had a frustrating relationship with his National Security Advisor, John Bolton. In trump’s words, “Bolton just wants to bomb everybody”. Trump is a builder, not a destroyer. Do we need another World Trade Center to understand that? Trump’s voters may the true progressives; we want to try a different way.

We want to lead the world by example, not by the sword. We can keep a strong military for our defense but not an offensive defense to make politicians rich. We need to go back and listen to Eisenhower’s warning. Trump will make war on our crumbling infrastructure, not on distant places most cannot find on a map.

President Eisenhower warns of military-industrial complex | January 17, 1961 | HISTORY

On January 17, 1961, Dwight D. Eisenhower ends his presidential term by warning the nation about the increasing power of the military-industrial complex. His remarks, issued during a televised farewell address to the American people, were particularly significant since Ike had famously served...

Trump has us currently involved in the Yemen war.
Trump Vetoes Measure to Force End to U.S. Involvement in Yemen War

Trump Vetoes Measure to Force End to U.S. Involvement in Yemen War (Published 2019)

President Trump’s decision to reject the bipartisan resolution was the second time in a month that he has blocked legislation passed by both houses of Congress.

www.nytimes.com

Evidently you are amiss to the true nature of Trump and his facade...

I forgot about Yemen. Yet another example of Trump’s warmongering.

A media that hates Trump yet won’t tell Americans about the military involvement in Yemen and other places, confirms the media is controlled by hidden forces.

Trump will make war on our crumbling infrastructure,

You really believe this?

Teach me.

I was graduating from high school when Eisenhower gave that speech. It made such an impression on me that I incorporated President Eisenhower's position in an original speech I wrote and presented in my state's speech contest for which I was awarded first place.
My original oratory was called "Where Do We Go Now" and attached is the first page which described what I an 18 year old high school student perceived as our goals for the next decade, i.e. the 60s! Boy was I out of whack! I supported Nixon against Kennedy and even though Kennedy won a 303 to 219 Electoral College victory and is generally considered to have won the national popular vote by 112,827, a margin of 0.17 percent 1960 United States presidential election - Wikipedia
Please forgive any errors, etc. as this paper is page 1 of 4 written on my typewriter, in 1961.
We were all so excited to enter the next decade and none of us thought beyond that, at that time.
None of us considered Kennedy's assignation which occurred my 2nd year in college. None of us considered Vietnam. The 1968 Democrat riots, the hippies and Woodstock. We had no idea!

Wow, That brings me back to my sophomore year in high school. My public speaking teacher entered all her classes in a Voice of Democracy contest competing with schools accross the region. There were 700 entries.

I had nothing and she told me if I didn't come up with something she was going to fail me. You had to write something that you would read on a tape recorder to be judged by officials. The theme had to be why democracy is the best form of government.

The night before it was due I decided to wing it. I didn't win but I got third place. Oddly, Gordon, a kid that sat right behind me got second. She was elated and I did not fail.

Appreciate the list of Trump accomplishments, I know of no other president in my lifetime that comes close to that record, and he did it in the face of near hysterical opposition from the democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM. Contrast that with what the democrats say they want to do: the Green New Deal, open borders, abolish ICE, defund or abolish the police, raise taxes, free just about everything fair everybody including illegals, and of course total amnesty.

Do you like the idea of bailing out the cities and states ravaged by riots and destruction? All of which was due to their decisions to stand by and watch people's property burn down and their hopes and dreams with it. People are dying in the streets now, and yet they promise to up the ante if Trump wins. How do you like being threatened and blackmailed? Vote for us or you're fucked. How does that sit with you?

You can bitch about Trump all you want, the man does deserve censure for some of the things he says. Many Trump supporters do not agree with all of his policies, contrary to what some say. But you knew what you were getting if and when you vote for him. No two-faced bullshit; Biden serves that up every freakin' day. Who here actually believes he'll be running this country if he wins? If you do, you're an idiot; the Far Left will be calling the shots, particularly if they also win the Senate and keep the House.

Trump will make war on our crumbling infrastructure,

You really believe this?

Teach me.

I was graduating from high school when Eisenhower gave that speech. It made such an impression on me that I incorporated President Eisenhower's position in an original speech I wrote and presented in my state's speech contest for which I was awarded first place.
My original oratory was called "Where Do We Go Now" and attached is the first page which described what I an 18 year old high school student perceived as our goals for the next decade, i.e. the 60s! Boy was I out of whack! I supported Nixon against Kennedy and even though Kennedy won a 303 to 219 Electoral College victory and is generally considered to have won the national popular vote by 112,827, a margin of 0.17 percent 1960 United States presidential election - Wikipedia
Please forgive any errors, etc. as this paper is page 1 of 4 written on my typewriter, in 1961.
We were all so excited to enter the next decade and none of us thought beyond that, at that time.
None of us considered Kennedy's assignation which occurred my 2nd year in college. None of us considered Vietnam. The 1968 Democrat riots, the hippies and Woodstock. We had no idea!
View attachment 386854

Wow, That brings me back to my sophomore year in high school. My public speaking teacher entered all her classes in a Voice of Democracy contest competing with schools accross the region. There were 700 entries.

I had nothing and she told me if I didn't come up with something she was going to fail me. You had to write something that you would read on a tape recorder to be judged by officials. The theme had to be why democracy is the best form of government.

The night before it was due I decided to wing it. I didn't win but I got third place. Oddly, Gordon, a kid that sat right behind me got second. She was elated and I did not fail.

Very good! I totally understand and you were a sophomore I was a senior and had several years of speech like you were going to have!

There are many more, this list is just a highlight of some of them.

Appreciate the list of Trump accomplishments, I know of no other president in my lifetime that comes close to that record, and he did it in the face of near hysterical opposition from the democrats and their propaganda arm, the MSM. Contrast that with what the democrats say they want to do: the Green New Deal, open borders, abolish ICE, defund or abolish the police, raise taxes, free just about everything fair everybody including illegals, and of course total amnesty.

Do you like the idea of bailing out the cities and states ravaged by riots and destruction? All of which was due to their decisions to stand by and watch people's property burn down and their hopes and dreams with it. People are dying in the streets now, and yet they promise to up the ante if Trump wins. How do you like being threatened and blackmailed? Vote for us or you're fucked. How does that sit with you?

You can bitch about Trump all you want, the man does deserve censure for some of the things he says. Many Trump supporters do not agree with all of his policies, contrary to what some say. But you knew what you were getting if and when you vote for him. No two-faced bullshit; Biden serves that up every freakin' day. Who here actually believes he'll be running this country if he wins? If you do, you're an idiot; the Far Left will be calling the shots, particularly if they also win the Senate and keep the House.

Among those accomplishments was the cutting of rules and regulations.
As a result, the USA doesn't depend on the middle east for oil...hence we can pull out!
To put that in perspective... Biden would NOT sign leases on federal land which Trump has resumed after Obama's reduction of leases.

One of several reasons the USA is now Oil Independent!
The United States is now the largest global crude oil producer

The United States is now the largest global crude oil producer - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

NOTE below... Obama (if Biden followed his actions...) reduced federal oil leases 7 out of 8 years!
Remember this quote from Obama? Trump would NEVER make such a statement!
“And when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers,” said Obama to Brazil
