Trump has now been in office for 6 days and already he has created more opposition to his agenda and views than any other president that I can remember.

1) Pardoning all Jan 6th convicted criminals has caused the Justice community, the opposing party, law abiding citizens, and even some of his own sympathizers to oppose him,
2) Raising tariffs on Canada and Mexico and today, on Colombia and Venezuela has caused those countries to begin or increase the opposition against him and against the U.S.
3) Picking incompetent/unqualified people for leadership positions has not only caused opposition to occur within those departments but has increased the opposition from all Americans.
4) Demanding that NATO nations raise their contribution from 2% to 5% of GDP has caused our allies to increase their opposition to the U.S. worldwide.
5) Deporting all illegal aliens (not just the criminal ones) and deporting those that have been here for decades, have beeen productive members of society, have paid their taxes and have built positive lives, has caused opposition from Americans who have built friendships with them and from the industries that use those illegal aliens for reaping our crops and building our homes/buildings,
6) Going against the Constitution by trying to end Birthright Citizenship has caused judges and those that believe that Birthright citizenship is a right (not a grant) to oppose him.

Creating "unnecessary" opposition to occur is never a positive but doing it by creating disunity among our own and among our allies is a negative that is likely to cause problems, not solve them.

Quite the question coming from someone that constantly posts unnecessary opposition.

How you can call "unnecessary" opposition to a liar, a conman, an incompetent person who is more likely to cause pain to me and the nation, is beyond my ability to understand.

Would you oppose or ignore or contribute to Cancer?

Any opposition that exists is from people that would have opposed him if he said the sky was blue. No great loss. He has created volumes more support than opposition. Bigly. LMAO

if you really feel that way, why have you voted for ANY candidate, in ANY election in the last 25 years?

So what? Let them oppose. If they start shutting down traffic, arrest them. It ain't rocket science.

2) Raising tariffs on Canada and Mexico and today, on Colombia and Venezuela has caused those countries to begin or increase the opposition against him and against the U.S.

So what? Let them howl. At the end of the day they need us a lot more than we need them.

3) Picking incompetent/unqualified people for leadership positions has not only caused opposition to occur within those departments but has increased the opposition from all Americans.

Horseshit.

NO ONE Trump nominated is unqualified.

4) Demanding that NATO nations raise their contribution from 2% to 5% of GDP has caused our allies to increase their opposition to the U.S. worldwide.

Too fucking bad. They can defend their own selves if they want. Then I stead of 5% it can be 50% of their economies.

5) Deporting all illegal aliens (not just the criminal ones) and deporting those that have been here for decades, have beeen productive members of society, have paid their taxes and have built positive lives, has caused opposition from Americans who have built friendships with them and from the industries that use those illegal aliens for reaping our crops and building our homes/buildings,

What a bunch of retarded leftist bullshit.

ONLY CRIMINALS are being deported. No one else.

Fucking leftards are horrible liars.

WE DONT WANT UNITY WITH CRIMINALS AND COMMUNISTS.

WE WANT THEM => GONE <=

Fuck em.if they don't like it.

1) The whole planet knows Jan 6th was a Democrat scam.

2) Check your history. At one time the US lived off tariff tax, then it slid under various presidents to the disfavorable situation that you're now in.

3) Look at the last lot that ran those departments.

4) The US pays too much into NATO and you object?

5) Theres the clue in your wording, illegal. So if someone shoplifted or shot someone decades ago, that's ok to you?

6) The US is stupid with that Birthright crap. Even the UK does it the correct way. But I've said on many occasions, your constitution is outdated.

Question - Why do Lefties in every country hate their country?

You put thought in your post, so I'll take time to repond to it point-by-point.
1) Pardoning all Jan 6th convicted criminals has caused the Justice community, the opposing party, law abiding citizens, and even some of his own sympathizers to oppose him,
The J6 defendants were prosecuted in mass. The DOJ put enormous resources into tracking down everyone who was near the capitol on that day, and if they had indication they were Trump supporters, such as purchasing a firearm, they were prosecuted.

Did any Capitol Police officers use excessive force besides Lt Byrd? Why don't we have access to all the video?

You object to mass pardons, you should have objected to the mass prosecution.
2) Raising tariffs on Canada and Mexico and today, on Colombia and Venezuela has caused those countries to begin or increase the opposition against him and against the U.S.
For Mexico and Colombia, at least, it has caused them to increase their cooperation, no matter how much more opposed they may feel. Latin-Americans will always feel envy for the U.S. and will never accept the reasons that they are so far behind us.
3) Picking incompetent/unqualified people for leadership positions has not only caused opposition to occur within those departments but has increased the opposition from all Americans.
His picks have all been extremely competent.

You could fairly say that some of his picks have not been as qualified as we might want them to be. But since qualification is often a function of how much experience one has in government agencies, Trump is rightfully wary of again selecting long-time federal officials for senior positions, given how they turned on him last time.

Do you really expect Trump to pick a SecDef, for example, from among generals who leaked that they had discussed informing to China about Trump's plans? Or otherwise sought to underming the civilian CiC?

Because they don't like Trump? That's not a good enough reason for us to become a military dictatorship.
4) Demanding that NATO nations raise their contribution from 2% to 5% of GDP has caused our allies to increase their opposition to the U.S. worldwide.
Okay, maybe it will "increase their opposition." But will it also prompt them to pay their fair share? Isn't that what is important to the American people, not whether our NATO allies like our president that we picked?

We don't need a president who operates under the premise that the most important thing is for Europeans to like us. They never will. You think they thought Joe Biden was awesome? Americans who go to Europe and want to be liked can sit with them in their hookah bars and talk bad about their countries, like the Dixie Chicks.

5) Deporting all illegal aliens (not just the criminal ones) and deporting those that have been here for decades, have beeen productive members of society, have paid their taxes and have built positive lives,
That's not happening, though. Homan has started with the worst of the worst criminals and since Joe Biden let in so many of those, that will keep him busy for a long time.
has caused opposition from Americans who have built friendships with them and from the industries that use those illegal aliens for reaping our crops and building our homes/buildings,
Yes, they exploit illegal labor to get around the minimum wage, OSHA, and other worker protections. You should applaud Trump for putting a stop to that, if he has time after he deports all the murderers and rapists.
6) Going against the Constitution by trying to end Birthright Citizenship has caused judges and those that believe that Birthright citizenship is a right (not a grant) to oppose him.
The Constitution specifies that to be born to foreign parents on U.S. soil and by virtue of that become a U.S. citizen they must also be "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." If their parents are illegal aliens, and they are living under an assumed name and/or social security, so they can stay here illegally while illegally working and/or collecting welfare benefits, they are specifically avoiding being subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

There has only been one court case about this, and the person had parents who were legal residents.
Creating "unnecessary" opposition to occur is never a positive but doing it by creating disunity among our own and among our allies is a negative that is likely to cause problems, not solve them.
Trump is not creating opposition for the sake of it. His actions are necessary, and they are what he was overwhelmingly elected to do. If that causes opposition, that's unfortunate, but Trump can't run the country with his only goal being not creating opposition.

In reading your first 3 answers, I almost threw your post into the garbage but I decided to read it all and respond

You object to mass pardons, you should have objected to the mass prosecution.

There was violence at Jan 6th and that is not right. The people were individually prosecuted and found guilty by a jury of peers. Even so, just looking at the events of January 6th, they were evidently guilty to all who watched
For Mexico and Colombia, at least, it has caused them to increase their cooperation, no matter how much more opposed they may feel. Latin-Americans will always feel envy for the U.S. and will never accept the reasons that they are so far behind us.

These tariffs, especially those given to Venezuela and Colombia this weekend were revengeful and not economically driven.

What a total load of BS

But since qualification is often a function of how much experience one has in government agencies, Trump is rightfully wary of again selecting long-time federal officials for senior positions, given how they turned on him last time.

Some of his picks (Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel) are even harmful to our country

I expect competence and a lack of bias to be the guidelines
Because they don't like Trump? That's not a good enough reason for us to become a military dictatorship.

This is not about liking of disliking Trump, it is about what is best for our nation.
Okay, maybe it will "increase their opposition." But will it also prompt them to pay their fair share? Isn't that what is important to the American people, not whether our NATO allies like our president that we picked?

Opposition versus working together is always bad
We don't need a president who operates under the premise that the most important thing is for Europeans to like us. They never will. You think they thought Joe Biden was awesome? Americans who go to Europe and want to be liked can sit with them in their hookah bars and talk bad about their countries, like the Dixie Chicks.

This is about common sense and about human mentality
That's not happening, though. Homan has started with the worst of the worst criminals and since Joe Biden let in so many of those, that will keep him busy for a long time.

Why do you bring Biden into the conversation. What he did does not mean that Trump has a right to do the same negative things.
Yes, they exploit illegal labor to get around the minimum wage, OSHA, and other worker protections. You should applaud Trump for putting a stop to that, if he has time after he deports all the murderers and rapists.

This has been discussed for 75 years and a pattern that works for all has been somewhat in place. This is being criticized by EVERYONE except those that want retribution.
The Constitution specifies that to be born to foreign parents on U.S. soil and by virtue of that become a U.S. citizen they must also be "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." If their parents are illegal aliens, and they are living under an assumed name and/or social security, so they can stay here illegally while illegally working and/or collecting welfare benefits, they are specifically avoiding being subject to U.S. jurisdiction.

The Constitution is very clear on this. I suggest you do some research
There has only been one court case about this, and the person had parents who were legal residents.

See the Constitution and read it.
Trump is not creating opposition for the sake of it.

No, he is an idiot and incompetent. He can't help himself. It is time you realize that.
His actions are necessary, and they are what he was overwhelmingly elected to do. If that causes opposition, that's unfortunate, but Trump can't run the country with his only goal being not creating opposition.

More BS. Our country has been successful working together (both parties) for 248 years. It is the Republicans and Trump that are refusing to do that.

if you really feel that way, why have you voted for ANY candidate, in ANY election in the last 25 years?
I had not voted for anyone until 2020 when I voted "against Trump". Throughout my life, there was never a candidate that was good or bad enough for me to vote for/against. That changed with Trump, he is a huge danger to our country and will cause permanent damage to it.

and you didn't see the possible damage that may have been caused by Obama, Biden, Hillary, or Harris?

go away, troll

your bullshit is stinking up the board
