Is creating unnecessary opposition an intelligent thing to do?

[Luckyone]

neither


posting selfies?

how childish

Selfies? I am not a Trump supporter.

 

[Foxfyre]

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.

What has he done that was 'unnecessary' that he didn't campaign on and the majority of Americans voted for? "Unnecessary" is in the eye of the beholder and you won't convince anybody who isn't a 'woke' numbnut that anything he has done is unnecessary or not a good thing.

Except renaming the Gulf of Mexico. I'll give you that one even though he did include that in his campaign. So it continues to be promises made, promises kept.

But his approval ratings are the highest he has ever enjoyed and remain well above 50%. So you folks in the minority might need to rethink what your priorities are and what is and is not good for America and Americans.

Selfies? I am not a Trump supporter.

then why did you post this selfie?

 

[Independent thinker]

I deal with data, statistics, and facts and always put up links to those when I post.

All of your posts are simply your OPINION.

I can certainly understand why you would say that about me, given that my posts are always about Trump and his negatives. You being a Trump ass kisser, anything negative said about him, you consider it to be bias. Facts are not bias.

You deal in BS and are a fact denier.

You deal in BS and are a fact denier.

Sure, whatever you say

then why did you post this selfie?

Please try to keep to the facts.

How come you did not answer my question? Can't?

I am a future oriented person.
I think most people are.
Most American citizens would like to forget about the last four years because they were so horrible under the cackles and tater head administration.

The numbers bare that out as you can plainly see.
Here's a question.
Can you you tell me what you liked the most about the cackles and cornpop administration?

But Trump is smart enough to make the wealthy happy. The rich will love Trump. Are you rich? You will finally love Trump! lol.

Rich businesses and companies benefit from Trump's 2025 executive orders through several key areas:

1. Reduced Regulations: Orders promoting energy production and easing environmental regulations favor companies in oil, gas, and mining, such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, by lowering operational costs and permitting requirements[4][7].

2. Tax Cuts: Plans to lower corporate tax rates and extend favorable provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act aim to enhance profitability for businesses[8].

3. Mergers and Acquisitions: Relaxed antitrust policies may accelerate mergers, providing opportunities for growth in various sectors, including technology and finance[3][6].

But...relaxed antitrust policies can lead to higher consumer prices by enabling companies to consolidate market power through mergers and reduce competition. This often results in monopolistic behavior, allowing firms to set prices above competitive levels, ultimately harming consumers who face fewer choices and higher costs for goods and services[1][6]. Additionally, without stringent enforcement, practices like price fixing may become more prevalent, further driving up prices as companies coordinate to maintain higher price levels[4][6]. Overall, reduced competition typically leads to increased prices for consumers.

This is not about the issues but about the way he is going about it. This is the "Bully" approach and the "My way or the Highway" approach. It is about the key word I used (unnecessary).

It is about creating EXTRA problems in issues that are already a problem. It is about stupidity and incompetence.

 

[fncceo]

Deporting all illegal aliens (not just the criminal ones)

I will give you a few moments to ponder on the meaning of the word “illegal”.

 

[Luckyone]

312>226
The numbers bare that out as you can plainly see.
Here's a question.
Can you you tell me what you liked the most about the cackles and cornpop administration?

You are the one bringing and repeating the 312>226 election results number as if it is a plus. I showed you Biden's number which was 307>232 and asked you why that wasn't a plus to you.

Using your own thinking, those numbers are evidently useless, given that it did not help Biden do things that were evidently accepted as positive, which in turn means that Trump could also have negative results (or worse, as I see it).

That is all there is in my post to you. You are trying to deflect because I pointed out the flaw in your post.

 

[Luckyone]

It seems you are triggered again.
Your wall of numbers do not impress me.
Each post you make is more ridiculous than the last.
Please try to keep to the facts.

You doubted my ability to evaluate the situation (economy, Presidential actions, issues) that affect our nation, our pocketbooks, and our views, and gave you FACTS that prove my ability to do so.

All you have given is words and no facts.

You want more facts? Here they are

 

[LeftofLeft]

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,

Carter and Clinton pardoned convicted criminals who attacked the Capitol.

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.

Why do people have issues with an even playing field?

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.

You obviously didn’t pay attention to Biden’s cabinet.

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.

Why should US foot the bill? You people are all about paying fair share. Countries dependent on US kicking up a few more points is not too much to ask.

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,

I’ve only seen criminal illegals deported based on the ICE raids.

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.

Where is Birthright Citizenship in the Constitution? I wouldn’t push for that if I were him. But, Birthright Citizenship is probably being abused by illegals.

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.

Oh Fuck you! After the last decade, and before the way you smug assholes have treated any sense of humility toward your opposition, and you have the balls to whine that your out of power and why won't the other party just work with us? Fuck you, I'll say it again.

It is about creating EXTRA problems in issues that are already a problem. It is about stupidity and incompetence.

The only ones trying their best to create problems are you fuckers that can't take it that you lost.

I'd be embarrassed to act like you immature fucksticks....

At least he didn’t tell his opponents to get to the back of the bus.
