No President has a good second term, so why do you think Trump will?

[elektra]

Well, he doesn't have a supermajority.

But, yes, I expect him to crater the economy in two years.

The economy has already cratered, KAMALA saw to that

So, without getting into policy or politics, the reality is that Presidents never have good second terms. There are reasons for this. While in a first term, a President will try to burnish his credibility by appointing Senators and Governors to key posts, in a second term, he's more likely to appoint loyalists who are less likely to say, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." They are more likely to have scandals.

Let's review recent history, shall we?

Obama - Lost the Senate in the midterms. Mired in the IRS fake scandal.
Dubya Bush- Iraq war went south, Katrina, and the economic crash of 2008.
Clinton- Monica Lewinsky
Reagan - Iran Contra, the 1987 Stock market crash
Nixon- Watergate
Johnson - Vietnam, Race Riots, Civil unrest

instead of crying like little bitch about things that havent happened yet its best you jus sit down and shut up while the adults deal with them and you,,

Except nothing he proposes is going to fix the problem of immigration.

Trump proposes kicking out the criminals, then everyone who came in illegally in the recent past. They can then get in line and take their chances. It won't happen overnight, or even during his term.

I went to work for a residential rental company back in 1976. My 50-unit building was a cockroach infested shithole, among many other problems. It has taken me 40 years to get it straightened out. There are no quick fixes, but success is possible with time and effort.

History.

It doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

Going back to the point, which President has had a "Good" Second term?

Trump lucked out that Democrats failed to admit Biden's failing health, but now they are the ones with the guy who will have failing health. Trump is already showing signs of senile dementia.

We 'lucked out' that Democrats fucked up. They allowed Biden to run for a second term under the guise of being 'fit for service,' forced him out and transplanted a terrible candidate who was unable to effectively communicate her extreme policy plan and positions with her divisive campaign.

History does repeat itself often, and we'll just have to see how it transpires.

 

[elektra]

You're an idiot.

Idiots are geniuses compared to you.

$4 dollar gasoline, $7 a pound for butter. Hamburger costs a fortune. Housing is so expensive a 10' x 10' bedroom costs $1000 a month.

The economy has collapsed.

 

[Zafira Cherry]

The economy has already cratered, KAMALA saw to that

historic low unemployment
wages up
prices falling
inflation easing
An extremely heathy economy
what more could you ask for?

Thank you Joe

Yeah, he did that

 

[Woodznutz]

He has a majority in both chambers

Slim, in both.

 

[elektra]

Thank you Joe

Yeah, he did that

I can ask for housing to be cheaper than $1000 to rent a 10ft by 10ft bedroom.

Wages are down.
Prices are going up.

You admit all this by commentingcommentinga that prices are still inflating, inflation still exists.

I repeat, you're an idiot.

Congrats, millions like you got Trump across the finish line.

 

[odanny]

Slim, in both.

I call the Oval Office and a majority in both chambers a supermajority, but some believe you need 67% to meet that definition.

Thank you Joe

Yeah, he did that

Before Joe my coffee cost $8.
After Joe it went to $11.
No one bought it at $11, so it goes on sale for $7.
I stock up on it at $7.
Thanks Joe.
As soon as the surplus stock is sold it goes back up to $11.
I wait for it go on sale again.
Thanks again Joe.

One week after the election and Trump is already kicking ass & taking names.

The taliban is asking to negotiate being taken off the terrorist list. The stock market & the dollar are UP! Iran is quaking in their boots & illegals are already going home. The caravan of illegals broke up & the people have hope once again!

Even judge Martian is scurrying like a roach from the light.

He hasn't done a thing, other than ranting on X at 3:00 AM, which you are, no doubt, signed up to get an alert for.

 

[RetiredGySgt]

He has a majority in both chambers

Barely and he does not have 60 in the senate.

Thankfully.

So you are saying Trump will be impeached 4 times instead of only 2?

 

[Lesh]

Because it's not Harris.

He could do terrible and I'm still going to be happy !

Keep trying to douse the celebration, you are only adding to the festivities as we watch you morons flail.

So no matter how badly he performs… you’ll defend him

Color me shocked

 

[Rambunctious]

The issue is he has a supermajority and two years to crater the economy.

Still hurts?... good...
