Trump at CPAC takes on media, says "we will put our own citizens first"

[bripat9643]

"There is no such thing as a global anthem, a global flag, a global currency. I do not represent the Globe, I represent the United States of America".

Someone must have taken out some words from the phrase, "...I represent the [WHITE SUPREMACISTS WITHIN] the United States of America..."

I'm sure that's what it said after CNN got done editing it.

 

[Dschrute3]

Dangerous talk. Putting American Citizens first, is big no-no with the NWO Globalists. He's upsetting their Order. They're now seeking revenge. I pray for the man often.

What makes you think America is made up of only white supremacists?

You and your ilk do NOT represent America.....the popular vote last Nov. proves that. LOL

Without California Hillary would've won the popular vote, and California the place of the fruits and nuts.

That’s CNN’s target audience, isn’t it?

That only proved that Hillary represents illegal aliens.

There is no going back, we are global now, can we do some things that promotes/ helps American workers?

Trump assembled a coalition of conservatives, Republicans, moderates, and blue collar working class Democrats that's what pisses off the left, that's why they are in meltdown. CPAC is part of the coalition.

Rush is speaking on this topic as I type this, he reminds conservatives who may not fully support Trump that the #1 priority is first defeating the left.

You don't defeat the left by getting into a shouting match and calling them names. You defeat them with ideas. Ronald Reagan defeated them by going to the people with ideas. Too many conservatives seem to be more interested in annoying liberals than promoting ideas. Rush is a Trump sycophant and nothing more. He is not a conservative.

Also worth noting that Trump won was because a significant number of voters were voting against Clinton. Those people are defecting which is why Trump's approval ratings have fallen.

Still talking now, bringing alot of sarcasm and levity to CPAC, in his style. Going after the failures of the past. He also gave some credit to Bernie and said he was right about one thing, "we have bad trade deals".

He even pointed out what I suggested about some news, or "fake news" in some instances: these articles come out with "unconfirmed sources", something that always makes me suspicious. Trump said, "they should be named, if you have something bad to say to me say it to my face". Indeed.

Get 'er done Trump! Save some of us Canadians worth saving, some of us want to experience capitalism too!

Trump sounds like Bernie Sanders rather than a conservative. Free trade is good for Americans. Numerous jobs have been created because of free trade. Ask longshoremen who work in our nation's ports. Those jobs would be lost if Trump gets his way. The fact is that this is 2017 and not the 1950's. Selling overseas is a major source of revenue for companies. That means that supply chains have to be global. People have more purchasing power because of free trade.

Using unconfirmed sources does not make it fake news. They provide a valuable service as no administration is going to tell the truth and Trump definitely not. The reason why whistleblowers come forward is because they fear retaliation. That certainly is true in Trump's case. The Gateway Pundit has press credentials from the White House and he is a purveyor of fake news. That does not seem to bother Trump.

The issue is trade that is anything but "free". If you believe a $500B trade deficit with China, $70B with Mexico, $15B with Canada is sustainable, than please make your argument. Each year it will become worse and America will have less and less influence on the world. Your own rights will be more in-line with that of a socialist state.

Canada alone has high wage costs, high regulations and they directly interfere in American businesses on Canadian soil, I know because I blew the whistle on these tactics at great costs to myself and my family. Does this sound like a great trading partner? It's exploitation of America, plain and simple. There is no logic as to how Canada, that does not innovate, does not protect domestic liberty and freedoms nor business/individual Right to Self Determination, is able to have a trade surplus with America. It's inconceivable really. It's called a bad deal for America, 100's of thousands of jobs stolen from America.

It cannot continue, I've said for the last year that global trade needs to be "tweaked", Trump and his administration agrees. I have been sharing my experiences with the U.S government and will continue to do so, I have nothing to lose now since my promising career unfairly was stolen from me (THIS Is the face of socialism, neo-communism that Snowflakes and alt-left don't understand, if they do, they applaud state intervention). Canada harmed me for trying to protect capitalism, free markets, due process and hold to account those who violate NAFTA. It seems there is an American government that "gets it" and I for one am glad that they do. Western values and global liberty depend on America leading the world.

Trade deficits in and of themselves are not bad. Many times they represent prosperity. Prosperous countries have deficits because they have the ability to buy a large quantity of goods. Countries that are poorer and less prosperous are unable to buy the same goods. There are also goods that are too expensive to make in the US and are of little value. Pencils are a good example. Also the way surpluses and deficits are not entirely accurate. The measurements were created when it was easy to determine the value of goods. In a global economy, creating a product can be complex A iPhone is assembled in China but some parts are made in America and the intellect behind the iPhone is made in America. Yet a fully assembled iPhone is counted as a import. Cars that are made in Mexico have many of the same features. Some parts are made in America and assembled in Mexico yet the full value is counted as a import.

It is conceivable that Canada has a trading surplus. Just because they are not as free as the US does not mean they cannot have a trade surplus. There is no evidence that jobs have been stolen. Greater productivity and automation have led to these job losses and they are not coming back.

Trade needs to be tweaked. What that means is that you want government to run the economy despite the fact that you attack government interference in business. You can't have it both ways.

Does Trump ever plan to get past the point of performing on stage for his base?

lol

What is propaganda? Is it someone who speaks bluntly, or the person who has to have his words graded by a focus group to see how they will sound to the masses?

That explains the lack of any organization AFTER the election.

After seeing the recent display of ignorance from the democrats, they have no chance of winning anything for the next several years.
