1. Trump was loved by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?...and which other Black leaders?..how you came to that conclusion? Is it maybe because they met with him?...therefore they love him? Kanye West and Steve Harvey met with him... Kanye loves him...does Steve Harvey? ...and 3ven if they all do love him...does that mean he is not a racist? How many Blacks love Messi..... does that make him not a racist?
His personal lawyer for like 10 years.... .Mike Cohen.... said he is a racist. Wouldn't he know?
2. Trade war..... master stroke?....if China did not retaliate. .ost countries never do...China did...the ones who suffer the most are Trump's supporters because his base is in the Middle Belt and China targeted products coming out of the middle belt. Within two weeks more tariffs should be implemented..... China is ready to retaliate...they will not go into effect.


pls do a detailed good search

Every DNC leader from the Clintons and even Hollywood elite all cool with trump up until the run up to the Election

Then the seam campaign, first he was a joker, the a crook and when that didn't work. They came up with the identity politics angle, he's a racist, he hates gay's, he hates women bla bla bla.

They pushed the narrative that he would repeal laws that affect the LGBTQ community

over 2 years in Nothing has changed

This is the same tactics the DNC has used over the years. Name it, is it Dick cheeny, Mitt Romney, George Bush the list goes on. Anybody center left, libertarian or right wing is a racist, misogynist or hates the LGBTQ

I don't blame them, it's an effective strategy because alot of people want to believe it. Confirmation bias


My point is until you have evidence you can't go about accusing people of stuff

Where is your proof of racist activity?

what happened to innocent until proven guilty


And the case if Cohen, Cohen testimony can't be trusted. Prior to his meeting with Congress, he was prepped by ranking DNC members of the oversight committee


Cohen used the lack of black people in top management position in his company as justification for being racist.

I'm not a lawyer but I can destroy that argument in 5 secs.

That hearing was just a rehearsed farce, Cohen needs a deal to shorting his sentencing


You can say trump is erratic, impulsive , foul mouthed and has temper tantrums. I'll agree with you

but better back up your claims with facts, if you throw in the racism card


on the trade war, watch Bloomberg and not CNN you will understand better

Trump uses scare tactics and fear-mongering. I hope he's impeached before 2020.


I'm still waiting for your idea of fair share.

Fair share is getting rid of loopholes the ultra rich exploit to pay little to no taxes. Amazon made $11 billion in profile last year and paid zero, zilch, nunca, nothing, nada in taxes while the common man pays anywhere from 25%-40% in federal and state tax. That's unfair.

The lack of Black people in top management doesn't prove racism. It is when you deny the person to get into that position because of his race.

Cohen is not trying to reduce his sentence.... he is prepared to serve his time and to expose Trump...the reason for the criminal investigation. He has not tried to get a Presidental Pardon.... and has said he will not accept one if given.
Yes I follow Bloomberg...but get more detailed interviews and discussions from NPR...National Public Radio.

the common man doesn't go pay anything close to 40% .

You have to earn above 400k year to attract that tax bracket

bring proof that he denied black people top management position. Then we would talk. this is just your bias at work

I gave you a range and you chose to focus on the higher tax bracket but it still doesn't change the fact that the ultra wealthy employ all sorts of financial engineering schemes to avoid paying their fair share in taxes. This is a known fact. I don't make baseless claims or arguments withiut beeing well acquainted with the issue at hand. I read Amazon's last earning report and listened to the conference call, one of the reasons why they paid no tax has to do with carrying forward previous losses, in essence, they can carry forward those loses which inadvertently reduces their profits for as many years as required to finally being the loss down to zero. This is just one of many loopholes the rich have used to dodge paying their fair share in taxes, even Trump pays minimal taxes and he compliments himself as being smart for not paying more than he should. I don't charge a dime for my free online lessons.

You said everyday people pay between 25-40% , your words not mine.


So you are this enlightened and you are making it sound like they are stealing other people's money or doing some sneaky stuff

Also, this is perfectly legal.

A company's primary goal is to provide great products and maximize profit, why won't they exploit any legal means to minimize their task burden.

Business is not charity, let's stop with this baseless argument. until it becomes illegal stop tagging it as a loophole

You and I both know they did nothing wrong, besides the amount of income the government gets from tax from Amazon employees is no joke. Stop making it look like they are evil freeloaders.

And that's just one part amazon are also fund of reinvesting profit and help to drive innovation that eventually drives up stock prices.

Did I say he denied anyone top position because of race? Don't let your bias cloud your comprehension. FYI he appointed a Nigerian...Adebayo Ogunlesi to his economic advisory forum.... but does that make him non racist/racist? Racism in the US is subtle....not easily proven.

You are the one with comprehension issues

I said provide proof he denied anybody positions based on race, I was putting you own hypothesis to test.


I don't even like trump style personally,so what are you on about

He's too confrontational and brass

if he was a bit cooler and calculative like a trey gowdy or Jordan Peterson , he would own the DNC

But I prefer over most DNC candidates. those I can't stand their virtue signalling


Nothing is subtle, bring proof or hold your piece


Going by your logic, I can accuse you of being a thief because as a Nigeria their is that subtle scammer attitude in most of us.

A loophole doesn't mean it's illegal, it just means it's a legal loophole that needs to be clogged. Even Warren Buffett and Bill Gates have said they will gladly pay more in taxes despite being multibillionaires. Sanders is on the right track, the ultra rich need to pay their fair share of taxes.

it's not a loophole, it is perfectly legal anybody can take advantage of the same provision provided they met the criteria, until the united States Congress passes a law making it illegal, stop tagging it as such

Sanders is a socialist, he's off the rails

They already pay more than the rest combined anything more is theft.

I asked you for your idea of fair share, you tactful avoided it.


What do I care if Bill Gates and Warren buffets want to pay more. More power to them , doesn't mean the rich aren't still taxed heavy

Bernie isn’t intelligent enough. Shouting in order to be heard isn’t intelligence.

Bernie isn't intelligent?. Do u know what intelligence is? .You must be a Trump supporter. Bernie had issues with ideology which is almost socialist but everyone admits he is the most intellectually sound candidate ...except you are a Trump supporter at ine of his rallies where intellect is not on the menu

Yes I’m a trump supporter bt not a blind one, i try to be objective as much as possible. Bernie might be intellectual bt when he shouts it becomes repetitive and seems less intellectual than it actually is probably. He needs to shout less and talk more.

Never?

Forget about those celebrities and Twitter users (mostly kids)
If you want to know how popular Don is just go to any of his rallies.. Now let me tell you that there are Democrats who are gonna be voting for Trump again.

In Mississippi, Sen. Cindy would've lost if not for Trump's endorsement. In Florida, Desantis would've lost if not for Trump's endorsement. Everyone he campaigned for won.. The only way to make sure he doesn't win is make sure he doesn't run in 2020.
If not, he has a cult of followers.

He came out the right moment.

Have you heard of SILENT MAJORITY?

Again they should tackle Illan Omar she's already making Jewish Americans like Trump the more!

I salute you. you are totally correct. trump represents majority of us citizens especially caucasians. they are happy trump is implementing what they want. as you said majority of trump supporters are silent. I laugh at those illegal immigrants hating trump.
