Let's leave out the tax policy. I think it was inflationary and largely helped the wealthy at the expense of the middle class.
Even you know it's not true😂 middle class are the ones who benefited more under Trump. The wealthy also did

1.) Can you tell me one regulatory framework that his "Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products" modernized that helped America or the middle class or helped the economy he led.

😂😂😂 are you blind😂 it's all there. everyone even the racist Barack Obama said Trump's economy was great. When Trump left - the Biden-Kamala administration decided to slow down energy production because of the green house scam. He reduced taxes for all Americans - everyone knows that

2.) Can you name one regulation his "Massive Deregulation" changed that was meaningful to the middle class or helped America or impacted the economy he led?

Read my previous comment sir

3.) You listed what he proposed, can you tell me anything on that list that would reduce food prices or prices on housing that you seemed concerned about?

If you know anything about Economics, you'd know increasing energy production, reducing taxes and cutting energy costs to 50% affects every aspect of an economy thereby reducing housing costs organically. If you actually watched the video I sent first - you'd know this already

4.) Can you tell me how he plans to cut energy costs. His exact proposal.

DRILL BABY DRILL I.e. increasing energy productions. The Biden Administration reduced energy production by 23% for 'clean' energy because of climate change which is a stupid idea since that ensured China increased their own energy production thereby making climate change worse. Trump has said he'd do both.
BRING BACK MANUFACTURING BACK TO AMERICANS INSTEAD OF CHINA SLAVE WORKERS

5.) Can you explain to me how tariffs on China products would decrease costs.

That's not the main reason for tariffs. China is getting so rich on manufacturing and exporting to the US which is affecting American factories. There're Ghost towns everywhere in the Midwest because no factories are open in the United States. Trump has said he'd bring back those factories and increase employment opportunities for Americans

6.) Can you explain to me how deporting immigrants would reduce costs.
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS - emphasis on illegal - no countries should have illegal immigrants in any way shape or form. Undocumented people esp in cities affect the security of the country and also economy - there's no doubt about that. New York is giving free healthcare to illegal immigrants and housing them in hotels while Americans - my friends can't get a house. Veterans are homeless on the street. Who's paying for the housing of the illegals - AMERICAN TAXPAYERS!
Some industries in America are now employing illegals instead of Americans because of how low the pay instead - that affects the employment of actual Americans in this country.
It also drives housing prices up because 21 million adults in less than 3 years are looking for housing making housing scarce
housing grows slowly if you don't know sir

You sound like someone pretending to be moderate to influence how people think.
If this was not anonymous I'll show you my Biden Harris cap in all its glory but in 2023 I decided to take the election seriously and did my research. I came to a clear decision then - TRUMP

😂😂 is it the same NY Times that told everyone Trump won because of Russians only to say it's not true. Stop watching clips and listen to everything he says. If you listen to the video - the NY Times have cut out important parts of the speech to fuel their agenda. I'll send the actual video to you, sir

If Trump decided to suspend the constitution, who would stop him?
Explain the mechanism of stopping him.
I sincerely can't take you seriously because I can't imagine how dumb you're about democracy. Before any law is passed, it always goes to Congress which consists of Democrats and Republicans! Trump can't change or remove anything or 'delete' the constitution because its not a power of the presidency😂 how tf do you not know that😂

GW Bush hate blacks, McCain hates blacks Romney hates blacks,
In California Democrats managed to contort that Larry Elder a black man is racist against blacks and Gavin Newsome a white man loves blacks more than a black man
😂😂 I have to give them credit - they twisted history to the extent people think Republicans are the racist ones when in truth it is this

😂😂She did not even survive Iowa primaries. 92% of her workers deserted her because they found her hard to work with

When Democrats cannot win with their message, they try scare tactics.

Trump will deport legal immigrants - He had 4yrs he didn't do it
Trump will become a dictator - He had 4yrs he didn't do it
Trump will suspend the constitution - He had 4yrs he didn't do it
Economy will collapse under Trump - He had 4yrs and that didn't happen
Trump will be the end of Democracy - He had 4yrs and this didn't happen

We have 4yrs of Trump and we didn't see all these
You should check the comments section even on CNN - people's eyes are opening😂. Imagine a 'president-to-be' using a teleprompter in a town hall meeting 😂

Shut up fvck nigga. Nobody cares about any of this

Nobody cares about what you drive, where you schooled or where you've been. This is the internet where everyone is Elon Musk. Bottom line we do not care.

Talk to men, black men like HOF Caliber athletes like Herschel Walker who have promised to make Kamala pay at the polls. Not irrelevant plantation non entities like yourself.

Black men are going to turn out at unprecedented rates for Trump. That's all I care about.
Even Hispanics😂 black men are tired of the race baiting they just want results. Harris has been in the government for 15 years - what has she done for black people rather than incarcerate black men and put them in jails for heroin and laugh about it

Before we used to see Democrats argue that the economy under Trump was not as good as under Biden

Until Obama told them that the economy that was good under Trump was Obamas work

So which is right? Economy was good under Trump or Economy was not good under Trump
😂😂😂 they don't have a point nor do they have direction. Imagine a party called 'the Democrats' appointing someone to become the President😂 which no one voted for!

This is the exact definition of foolishness. It doesnt matter to you if he was right what it matters is that he was a white person. Which is why the inferiority complex has battered you so much that you have failed everywhere in life

The first thing you seek out is racism. We know who sucks dickks for a living here and no one wants you to air your personal life out there

Majority of Nigerians acknowledge its a shithole, Trump calls it the same way Nigerians call their country but your battered self esteem is hurt. That is why you are a small person, thats why you have failed so much in life. Thats why you are beta
He doesn't like when a white guy tells them the truth. He prefers a racist black guy called Barack Obama telling him what to do😂

I am tired of the back and forth with you. I don't like repeating myself over and over again. Believe whatever suits you and accept whatever insults and disrespect you like in the name of truth. But let no one come to my face and call Nigeria a shithole especially if you are not a Nigerian.

You sound deluded with the bold, like you were still in 2020. Trump has none of those powers right now. Biden does. As of today, Trump is less than many other Americans as a convicted felon.

Wait till he wins again, if he does, and I pray not, then I will also educate you about the limit of his powers as a President and why he will not be a reason to prevent many who sees him as a scum that he truly is, from visiting US. Except of course if he succeeded in suspending the constitution and declare himself a King. But I trust the sane Americans, who are in the majority, will fight that with their last blood.
I think you're the deluded one😂 you actually think America - the second largest democratic country with its many laws would allow a president to suspend the constitution. How dumb can you Democrats actually get.
You're literally the ones demeaning Democracy by importing voters from other countries to vote for Democrats

I don't like when he says this because it isn't presidential but he's right- Nigeria is a shithole country - a reason why some people actually like him is simply because he says what he says unlike other politicians who try to be politically correct.
He said it's a shithole country because of how corrupt some African countries are - he never said Africans live in huts.

Ok, name 3 policies Trump enacted while he was President that helped you or improved the economy.
And name 1 he will enact that will bring prices down.
I've waited for this moment because I've done a lot research. I can list 3 plus 17
The $1.7 trillion dollars Tax Cut Act that became implemented in 2018. What it affected -
a. Middle-Class family income increased nearly $6,000 – more than five times the gains during the entire previous administration.
b. The unemployment rate reached 3.5 percent, the lowest in a half-century.
c. Achieved 40 months in a row with more job openings than job-hirings.
d. Created more than 1.2 million manufacturing and construction jobs.
e. Put in place policies to bring back supply chains from overseas.
f. Small business optimism broke a 35-year old record in 2018.

2. Signed an Executive Order on Modernizing the Regulatory Framework for Agricultural Biotechnology Products which
a. Brought innovative new technologies to market in American farming and agriculture.
b. Strengthened America’s rural economy by investing over $1.3 billion through the Agriculture Department’s ReConnect Program to bring high-speed broadband infrastructure to rural America.

3. Massive Deregulation - he ended the regulatory assault on American Businesses and Workers.

Instead of 2-for-1, he eliminated 8 old regulations for every 1 new regulation adopted.
a. Provided the average American household an extra $3,100 every year.
b. Reduced the direct cost of regulatory compliance by $50 billion, and will reduce costs by an additional $50 billion in FY 2020 alone.
c. Removed nearly 25,000 pages from the Federal Register – more than any other president. The previous administration added over 16,000 pages.
d. Established the Governors’ Initiative on Regulatory Innovation to reduce outdated regulations at the state, local, and tribal levels.
e. Signed an executive order to make it easier for businesses to offer retirement plans.
f. Signed two executive orders to increase transparency in Federal agencies and protect Americans and their small businesses from administrative abuse.
g. Modernized the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for the first time in over 40 years.
h. Reduced approval times for major infrastructure projects from 10 or more years down to 2 years or less.

and a lot more that I can't begin to even type

What he has proposed -
It's all in the video I sent first
But main points
a. Deport Illegal Aliens
b. No Tax on Tips, Social Security and Overtime (all this Kamala decided to copy)
c. Cut energy costs into half!
d. No men in women's sports
e. 10% Tariffs on countries like China using slave workers outside the United States
f. Bringing manufacturing even in healthcare back to the United States
and a whole lot more!

Fam, I have degrees from places you'll never enter.
I enter spaces you'll never see whether it be in Nigeria or in the US.
My car probably costs more than any money you've made the last 10 years.
You're like dust to me and in my world.
I'm sure if you ever saw me you'd be calling me Oga, begging for money or a job or both.
Who the fux are you?

And yes you are not part of any group of person who will be voting.
And so, your opinion is like an asshole. Everyone has them and from you they're just good for producing shit.
I live in Texas- never been a Trumper and I've been a 'Democrat' for years. This year I'll definitely vote for him simply because he's consistent with his stance on the economy and immigration.
A lot of my friends can't even afford their mortgage anymore or even own a house simply because housing prices have gone up by 80%! They say the economy is doing great but only 18% of actual Americans not journalist say it is.
I tried giving Harris a chance but her policies are so dumb that even CNN says it's- independent economists have stated it's even dumb🤷🏽‍♂️ -

$25,000 for first home owners - Where will she get the money from - She said from billionaires - which Biden said in 2020 - it never works or even gets implemented because it's not even enough to raise the revenue of the US.

She switches like a torch light with no concrete plan- Trump has never changed his plan on the economy or changed his stance on immigration and it actually worked during his time.

People think illegal immigration does not affect American people but it actually does. The Transportation industry now employs this illegals instead of Americans because it's cheaper- this people don't have to pay taxes but just use the American people's resources for free 🤷🏽‍♂️

The nail on the coffin was when she went on the View and said 'She won't do anything differently to Biden'. An extra is she's incompetent and it actually shows a lot - She doesn't even have an original idea and keeps saying exactly the same thing every single time to different questions.
I went to the rally in Phoenix, Arizona and I was quite insulted - I was thinking she would even take questions from the rally folks after the rally but she didn't - she escaped yet again and decided to go to Call her Daddy instead.

Trump is a narcissist, very impulsive and a big baby and quite rude. I hate his guts and if there was a better candidate in the Democratic Party - I would have never hesitated but at least he promised a number of things in 2016 and actually did them 75% of the time unprecedented for a US President.
This videos convinced me further to vote for him not for race and woman victimhood but for his policies

Foreign AffairsElon Musk’s SpaceX ‘Chopsticks’ Catch Rocket After Dramatic Starship Launch by Illusioneffect(op): 6:07pm On Oct 13, 2024
SpaceX has successfully launched its Starship rocket on Sunday morning for a fifth test flight, which featured a successful first-ever attempt to catch the returning Super Heavy booster using mechanical “chopsticks” on the launch tower.

Starship, which is now safely in orbit, is due to make a soft splashdown in the Indian Ocean later today, and won’t be recovered.

Starship and its Super Heavy booster — packed with 10 million pounds of propellant — launched on schedule at 8:25 a.m. ET (7:25 am CT/1225 GMT) from SpaceX’s facility in Boca Chica, Texas, close to the Mexican border.

Citadel Diana episode 1 and 2 is a solid 8.5/10 so far.

Just 2 episodes in, i am already entertained.
This spinoff is much better than the original citadel.
This one is more focused on plot, character development and storyline.
The technological tools and advancement being used in this series are mind blowing.
It reminds me of 007 James bond franchise.

I like that the series is indirectly telling us not to trust government agencies, the more you look, the less you see.
They create chaos and wars and then sell the weapons they create for the same wars they started.

Anyways, i will download and bingewatch episode 3 to 6 ASAP.
I'll give this a try..... because of you

If it's a really good movie it'ld have more significant impact than a wide theatrical release because more people would watch it

Even the actors are not ashamed of themselves. If a producer is not getting it right the actors can set him straight and if he chooses to go ahead and make a ridiculous movie you walk out of the movie. But we know Nigeria stars are after been paid not reputation.


That's why I support Hollywood in adapting our African stories as long as our African value and cultures are not replaced.
It's not easy enough. Besides The Producers actually own the production of the film - they can make or mar an actor's career so actors try not to piss them off

lol Netflix thinks, spamming Nigerian content, will get more people to subscribe here 😃. I can't even begin to count the reasons why this is counter productive, chief among them being, the damn economy dealing squarely with like 70% of the populace. Can't be thinking of Netflix sub when belly dey empty and other more important bills dey pile up fa 😩. Infact, active Netflix subscribers here is below 200k!. South Africa has like 70% of the total subscribers in sub Saharan africa, so I don't know why Netflix is not throwing their money there.

Well, i have longed clocked that, "The Idea of being Nigerian" has a far more appealing allure, than "being Nigerian and actually living here".... people around the world love our content for some reason and it is very easy for Netflix to sell it.

Kaycee7 say make we wait, say 2035, say him go change the industry....so fingers crossed 🤞🏿 and Inshallah 🙏🏿😁
You're right. But I think it's growing fast. Let's see how it goes. Having Netflix here is like a necessity but in Nigeria some people see it as waste and some how it's true😂

Nollywood in my opinion have two major problems - they're not willing to take risks esp risky stories and scripts and they're not creative enough to solve filmmaking problems. They'd rather recycle stories and add little bits to make it seem new when it's not. In this Hijack '93 - it's like that Apple 'Hijack' series with worst story telling

If you are adapting a movie from an historical event, common sense should tell you that the props is the absolute thing you get right even if all other part is wrong.

Well, you'd just know it's the most obvious 4/10 flick 🕊️🕊️😩...but i will still show up... pretty clear that this industry might never leave the trenches.
