Trumps Imperialism Gets Rejected By Voters

[jbrownson0831]

President Donald Trump wants to buy—or take by force—Greenland, Canada, the Gaza Strip, and the Panama Canal. “We will own it,” Trump said of Gaza, including all the trademark policy details he is known for (none).
But Americans aren’t here for it.

A new poll from Data for Progress finds that likely voters largely oppose the U.S. taking ownership of each location. Voters are close to split on the Panama Canal (41% support, 46% oppose), which the U.S. turned over to the Panamanians at the end of 1999. But when it comes to the other locations, it’s not even close: Majorities oppose the U.S. taking Greenland, Canada, and most starkly, Gaza. Only 23% want the U.S. to control Gaza, while 62% oppose that idea.

And despite Trump’s flirtation with deploying U.S. troops to take Gaza, even a majority of Republican-likely voters (52%) oppose his idea.

Of course, Trump’s territorial expansionism doesn’t end there. On the first day of his new term, he signed an executive order to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America” (and another order to make Feb. 9 “Gulf of America Day,” because everything must be this stupid).

A new poll from Marquette University Law School—one of the best in the polling game—finds that just 29% support Trump’s “Gulf of America” rebrand, while a staggering 71% oppose it. While 57% of Republicans support it (because of course they do), only 16% of independents and 4% of Democrats do.

With numbers like that, Trump really should’ve just gone with his first plan: to rename it the Gulf of Trump and dye the water gold.

With numbers like that. Democrats will have a clear mandate to reverse and delete everything this imperialist does.

312-227....doesn't sound like anyone opposes his ideas or that they come close to imperialism.
Can you read?

I see what you're saying. We should listen to the voters on the issues, something democrats don't do because the majority of Americans agree with Trump on the most important issues, hence Trump's win.

Oh, you are imitating the Dems. OK.

Not sure what you mean. Should we be listening to the voters on the issues they think are important or not?

Sure, but most of Trump's goals are not the majority's goals.

 

[sartre play]

Well, now, that's the thing, and I've been thinking about it quite a bit. What they're doing is so completely over the top that I wonder what the actual end game looks like here.

Deep in the bowels of the Orange Universe™, they have to be convinced of one of two things: Either (a) these massive cuts and even MORE massive disruptions will be all ironed out, and America will be Super Duper Great again, in time for the mid terms, or (b) they plan on making it so difficult to vote and/or get Dem wins certified by various jurisdictions that they'll be able to hang on regardless.

That's as close as I get to a conspiracy theory, but I do wonder.

Not what's happening, these are what if, & distractions.
throwing stuff out there, if enough people buy it maybe move on it.
You get so many balls thrown in the air that you cant keep your eye on them.
that's how the magic trick works.

Many who oppose Trump’s idiocy voted for Trump; another example of the stupidity of Trump voters.

Sure, but most of Trump's goals are not the majority's goals.

Sure they are. voters said their top four priorities were saving democracy, the economy, illegal immigration, and abortion. I'll cede the abortion issue to you. So, out of the remaining three, voters have said they trust Trump more than democrats on the economy and illegal immigration. Surprisingly on the other issue, saving democracy, a CNN poll showed that out of the voters whose number one issue was in saving democracy, 58% of those voters voted for Trump.

Nope, the majority are now feeling buyer's remorse.

And they have no warranty to get rid of him.

 

[AntonToo]

He was ASKED about the use of force. And he didn’t say he “wants” to take any land by force. He merely said that he couldn’t rule it out.

Number of inches of land America will be voluntarily given, without force: 0

Use your head.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Trump does not dare use force to take land.

 

[BackAgain]

Number of inches of land America will be given without force: 0

Use your head.

Unlike you, do use my head. You can’t use yours. It’s empty.

And your prediction is as stupid as you are. Plain retarded. Nobody said anything about being “given” anything. The Louisiana purchase wasn’t “given,” neither was Alaska.

Nobody has any interest in selling land to America dum dum.

 

[BackAgain]

So claims the idiot ^ without a shred of evidence.

Antoinette, you drooling idiot, please continue to spend many sleepless nights worrying about whether orange man bad makes a grab for Greenland.

 

[MagicMike]

He was ASKED about the use of force. And he didn’t say he “wants” to take any land by force. He merely said that he couldn’t rule it out. A verbal statement to the effect that he wouldn’t rule ANY option out as being “off the table” is simply not the same thing as indicating any intent or make use of force.

It's just another example of the guy who supposedly always "says what he means and means what he says" not at all saying what he means OR meaning what he says.
But as usual that's just WAY over little troll boi BackAgain's head.

Panamanians, some of them, may want the American dream, unaware that Trump and MAGA are turning it into nightmares for almost everyone.

 

[justoffal]

When did Trump ever say anything about taking Canada, Greenland, Panama or the Gaza Strip by force?

He didn't..... With each iteration of verbal feces that proceeds from their mouth they make sure to morph it into what they wanted it to be not what it was. As it continues to be embellished and remanufactured eventually it will become:

"Trump has given the orders to target Gaza with nuclear ICBMs."

 

[justoffal]

Panamanians, some of them, may want the American dream, unaware that Trump and MAGA are turning it into nightmares for almost everyone.

If they want it let them put out the effort to get it the correct way. Other than that the American dream becomes the third world dream.

It's only a nightmare for you demented dollar store Marxist revolutionaries.
