Aside from the fact that this simply isn’t true, having Trump as President doesn’t make liberals crazy, is the idea
Denying Trump Derangement Syndrome puts you in the same league as the Flat Earth Society. It wins you no points to deny the obvious.
Here’s the difference between you and me: You’re looking to score points. I’m looking at economic indicators, and the net results of some of Donald’s programs.
Despite lifting environmental legislation preventing the notoriously polluting coal industry from having to clean up after itself, and despite lobbying for American coal very visibly at the recent World Climate conference, coal production continues to decline under Trump.
Maybe Obama didn’t kill coal at all. Maybe it died because gas is plentiful and cheap. Gas production continues to increase and now surpasses coal in the US.
Even the Chinese are giving up on coal. Maybe Trump should try to revive the buggy whip trade.
And what about those Carrier jobs he was going to save - at a cost of $7 million tax dollars? Taxpayers gave Carrier $7 million dollars to keep those jobs in the US. Carrier took the $7 million and still sent the jobs to Mexico. That’s Donnie’s definition of “Winning”.
I’m sitting here watching American idiots swallow the lie that Trump has done anything for the working class guys who elected him. The guys he promised jobs to. The guys he promised health care for. Because all I see so far is a higher stock market for the wealthy, and lower taxes for corporations and the wealthy. Higher cost health care insurance for all.
Job creation is down from substantially from 2016. Trump goes on these trips and makes a big show of signing billions of dollars worth of “deals”, while there. The Saudi Arabia trip was one where purportedly the Saudis bought hundreds of billions of dollars worth of advanced military equipment. The White House publishes lists of the deals signed on these trips.
I went to the website and these “deals” are smoke and mirrors. A deal where the Saudis say they’d like to look at buying a power plant on “mutually agreeable terms” and will meet with American companies down the road to determine whether such terms can be agreed to.
They’re at best, Letters of Intent. Agreements to try to meet later to agree to terms. If nothing comes of it later, no harm, no foul, that’s business. But what Trump is doing is essentially selling the Smerican people snake oil.
While we were in China, we signed deals worth $250 billion in trade. Wasn’t that what Trump said. In reality, the Chinese signed onto the Trans Pacific Partnership while Trump was in China.
While Trump was bragging about the phony deals he was signing with China, the Chinese took over the American role of the lead trading partner in the TPP which Trump vacated, and really did sign the biggest trade deal the world has ever seen.
Every seat at the table Trump vacates, other interests are just sliding on in there. As long as the American working class is essentially impoverished, the American marketplace isn’t what it once was. Other markets are emerging. What made the American market the place to sell was wealth and savings from working class on up. With that gone, The US is going the way of South America: a wealthy elite, and impoverished slums.
