Thank you for explaining why some people hate Trump. I don't read tabloids and didn't know that the repita, repita, repita, repita by DNC loyalists would keep in in the ever-present mind of easy-to-fool campus voters and the View watchers.
I'm glad you mentioned the will of Congress. Even so, there's a thin line of responsibility between what a President does, and what the Congress does. Some of the discord going on there is not only furnished by partisan reporters and committees, but is rebutted by partisan advisers on the opposite aisle.
President Trump's message about making the nation a leader again, seems he forgot to beg the Democrats to go along with it, and is going forward with it anyway. For that he will likely receive the maximum press ninnyhammering, constant and regurgitated alleged high crimes charges that cannot be proved to be against the law levied by Pelosi and Co. This will frustrate the already-beleaguered border states who suffer the brunt of the murders, drug bartering, human trafficking, and starving masses looking for work.
And I thank President Trump for trying to show mercy on these states in the absence of congressional caring, and glad that Trump cares about the conundrum the teachers are having, trying hard to get some of their border children through six years of elementary work in only 2 years. I heard him acknowledging these teachers and other collateral victims in his speech. At least one person in this nation is willing to face the sour will of the Congress that does not appear to give a damn how hard it's been for them to furnish educations to the children of this unfortunate situation they're in.
The will of the Congress seems merciless to the taxpayers, but this congress was voted in because people really believed the false charges against President Trump about Russian "collusion." It was all political baloney, and those perpetrating it knew that it was indeed hubris, but wanted to use the hatred against Republicans running for Congress so they could further burden the border states who didn't vote Democrat either.
I doubt the impact of the Russia investigations was the primary factor in democrats capturing the House. In 2016 about 4.4 million Obama voters stayed home, some because they weren't enthusiastic about Hillary and others because they believed Trump had no chance of winning. By 2018, the shock of Trump winning had sunk in and the realization of what would happen it republicans controlled congress for two more years. Also, many people believed that once he was president, Trump would act like a president and stop all the crazy tweets, hate speech, lies, and exaggerations. However, within days of Trump taking office he dispelled any hope that he would change. In fact, he got a lot worse.
Crime along the border continues to be a major theme for Trump. Shocking images and anecdotes of crime along the border fuel his narrative, but rarely are facts deployed to make his case. And there is good reason. The fact is crime along the Mexican border is lower than in the rest of the country. If the entire United States in 2017 had crime rates identical to those in counties along the U.S.-Mexico border, there would have been 5,720 fewer homicides, 159,036 fewer property crimes, and 99,205 fewer violent crimes across the entire country. Before you scream false news, you should know that this data is from the
FBI Uniform Crime Reports 2017.
Crime Along the Mexican Border Is Lower Than in the Rest of the Country
The sad and funny part. When Trump has his rally in El Paso Texas he claimed crime drops after fence was erected. A republican mayor blasted Trump lies. This POTUS is unbelievable. He stand there and lies to his supporters and cheering. Sometimes I look at these people. Where are they coming from? Americans can not be these stupid.
Then he also lied about the attendees of his rally. Unbelievable.
El Paso mayor says Trump is 'wrong' to connect city's crime drop and border barrier
Washington (CNN) El Paso, Texas, Mayor Dee Margo said hours before President Donald Trump is due to visit his city that Trump was wrong to claim a border barrier was responsible for El Paso's drop in crime.
Trump made the claim last week in his State of the Union Address when he said El Paso "used to have extremely high rates of violent crime -- one of the highest in the country, and considered one of our nation's most dangerous cities."
"Now, with a powerful barrier in place, El Paso is one of our safest cities," Trump said.
People wonder why Trump lies so much by misstating known facts, often from the government that he heads.
First, he doesn't believe facts are as important as getting his point across so he creates his own facts to fit his message. Second, false statement guarantee a media response. This keeps the Trump name in the headlines everyday and every hour. He's said, he doesn't care what the media says about him as long as they keep saying something. He started this long before he ran for president.
Since he distrusts just about anything that people accept as facts, why should he bother with facts? His believe in conspiracy theories is common knowledge such as climate change, Obama's birth certificate, practically all facts and research about illegal immigration, the death toll in Puerto Rico, Ted Cruz's father was involved in the JFK assassination, 3 to 5 million illegal votes cast in 2016, No clear evidence Russia interfered in the election, Vince Foster committed suicide, Vaccines may cause Autism, Muslims were celebrating on New Jersey roofs after 9/11, Antonin Scalia may have been murder, his voice on the Access Hollywood tape may not be his voice, etc.
Most people accept that if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it's probably is a duck. But to Trump, it just might be a chicken in a duck suit.
