Let’s not forget…Trump had the House and Senate during two years of 45…He got nothing done on the border.

Not during his first two years when he was most empowered to do so.

In all due respect you don't have a clue what you're talking about. But do have a lovely evening.

In fairness to Broke, he has made a valid point, but did not give the reasons......which are not in evidence this time around----->

1. Contrary to most MAGAs thinking, he did NOT believe he was going to win, and so was unprepared when he took over.

2. He was a businessman turned politician, so took advice from GOPers that MAGAs now hold in questionable status, who gave him some terrible ideas..........which by the way proves that Trump is NOT a 1 person show, but rather relies on much needed input.

3. 15 minutes..............no I am misleading you............WHILE he was on the steps talking the oath of office, the Left was already publicly talking about impeachment. He had to split his forces multiple ways to defend his administration, instead of concentrating on his agenda.

4. When this man took office, he KNEW what he wanted to do.......he told the whole country what he wanted to do.....but in all honesty, he didn't know how to do it. It took him weeks and months to discover the ins and outs, along constantly fighting with the press and the Left throwing distractions along with obstacles in his path.

5. There are numerous other reasons we could mention, but let us move on.

That all being said, I am not asking anyone to feel sorry for him. That is the job he wanted; that is the job he got.

But here is the thing............none of those 5 things now apply to THIS TIME AROUND. He knows what he is doing, he knows who he can trust, he knows how get legislation through. He has a senate that he doesn't need Murkowski and her girlfriends in the senates vote to get what he wants. He has a MANDATE by any stretch of the imagination. He doesn't have to worry about re-election.

About the ONLY thing he is not yet sure of coming up roses for him is control of the House. If the GOP gets that with all the other factors I have mentioned, it is a whole new ballgame compared to the last time. If you are a believer in the Trump policies, be emboldened to know that if the House falls in his lap, there will be very little the Left can do legislatively to stop the Trump train. Yeah, of course they will go running to the court, and so it stops 10% to 15% of his actions. We get 85 to 90% of what we want? Who the heck are we to complain-) And if you feel like complaining anyway as a MAGA, just imagine what you would have gotten with Kammy and TAMPON TIMMY! We should all shudder to think!
 
Nothing got done because Trump never really tried.

The Trump administration never proposed any sort of immigration reform bill. Nor was it serious about one.

zBut he beat his chest over his cowardly wall, and the morons cheered.
You are a liar. Many miles of wall was built, not because of the RINO's and Demofascists who obstructed him at every step of the way, but because he was a thinker outside the box. He had Mexico close their southern border with their military while we had remain in Mexico for vetting. Now go play with that tiny thing you call a brain, and get back to me, when you have enlightened yourself on the facts.
 
There is no national emergency. Only white resentment and fear.
May a drunken Illegal T-Bone your car. Karma is a bitch and people learn the hard way about how dangerous a world they live in with the Bribem/Camel Toe in charge.
 
In all due respect you don't have a clue what you're talking about. But do have a lovely evening.

Trump only got one significant piece of legislation passed in his first term. The enormous defect exploding Wall Street tax cut.

His attempts to overturn the ACA were ignominious failures, due largely to his own incompetence and unreliability. Mnuchin and McConnell moved the tax cut bill.

He will have an easier time extending them. Wall Street bought it (and him),and they’ll collect.

Tax revenues were up significantly after Trump's tax cuts. You can look it up. The tax cuts if anything reduced the deficit while putting thousands in buying power into the pockets of Americans.

My quarrel with Broke is in his assertion that Trump got nothing done on the border in his first two years. He effectively stopped the invasion as well as doing more good things for America and Americans in his first three years despite a hostile Congress--and yes many in the GOP fought him as hard as the Democrats did--than any President of my lifetime got done in eight. He may or may not be able to do as much in a second term but you're right that he has been tested and tempered by fire and brings experience and savvy to the job that he lacked in his first term. And hopefully has a MAGA inspired Congress to help him have an amazing Administration.

I think it's past time we stop grading politicians on how much more regulation they press on the people, and start grading them on how much freedom they pass....

Make the Constitution matter again...
 
That may be true. The question is if there are ten people not working that type of employment and playing the system for every one person working. Many people living in a dwelling with one working and the rest using the tax money from the American citizen in all ways. The inflation with the number of illegals entering has caused a lot of anger.
That’s a fantasy I doubt even you believe

Quit drinking the bleach, Foxy.

Very little of that was anything more than Trump signing bills that Congress passed

He nev er pushed for 98% of that
 
He couldn’t even end DACA, he needed a ‘national emergency’ to finally make a measurable difference.
My point is this; he won’t be able to screw around, he will have to act swiftly, two years happens fast, he will not have time to waste trying to play nice, he will have to embrace full-blown cruelty on January 21, 2025.
I think trump is stronger this time while Never Trumpers are weaker

He will have more allies in congress and fewer back stabbers
 
Yup...me not wanting to be murdered by illegals is "white resentment" :rolleyes:
The likelihood of that happening is FAR less than it happening because of “legal citizens”

If he fixes the problem he has one less thing to rant about.

I think you’re right, I hope we’re right. I’m just hearing this softer tone already and I’m not liking it. People and Trump must stay pissed off, we must hold his feet to the fire, he MUST act swiftly and aggressively, if he fucks around and drags his feet he will run of of time and have got nothing done…AGAIN!!
