He doesn’t censor free speech but he’s attempting to remove permanent residents from the country for peaceful protests? Something that is protected under the constitution. You don’t live in reality and I’ve said it several times.

So basically you don’t know what you’re talking about. And that’s okay sometimes once in a while. We can’t know everything.

But to consistently keep at it. Thesis after thesis. Even when it’s obvious you have no real idea or experience on who this man is begs the question why? Is it just an interesting topic for you? What are you hoping to get out of it? You don’t have to answer.

It’s all just rhetorical
Deporting a terrorist supporter who targeted Jewish students on campus? Making the.miss classes be cause their genocidal brothers were getting whacked by IDF after committing the worst war crimes this century.
How about Obama droning American citizens Anwar Al Alwaki and his son in Yemen, a country that was not at war with America.
Your hypocrisy knows no bounds

Actually that was from a screenshot I didn’t want to post because it was lopsided and wonky. So I just lifted the text instead because I love how it summarizes everything.

Republicans are fond of claiming the economy as their reason for why they vote how they vote. When it’s on record that the democratic govt following them always have to dig is out of the recessions they cause.

But there are extensive details in these websites.

Thank you. We all know that they vote because of racism and not the economy. Bigotry is toxic so let them enjoy the ongoing calamity.

I'm no America, I don't worship Trump. He aligns to my thought process he doesn't want wars he doesn't want govt censoring people , he doesn't coddle terrorists, he does open press conferences with any journalists and he overcame the worst onslaught in history to win the presidency.
Tell me one instance when Biden, Obama Hillary or any democrats ever went to enemy territory. By that I mean went to a factual media house for an interview with say Bartiromo or Sean Hannity. They only chose carefully choreographed press interviews Meaning they have conspired to inhbit your brains with mumbo jumbo.
Trump and Vance spar it out every day with the most conflicted journalists and always shine. In all Trump's presidential debate the moderators were clearly biased and combative making every effort to make him look like a villain. Every.Bht he always won every debate.
Has anyone ever asked Obama why Libya has no govt?
Your hero ended an interview because he didn’t like the questions. He has excluded some media outlets from his press conferences and prefers to talk on FoxNews. So much for your objectivity.

Play by play.

He’s not even attempting to hide it
From Democracy to Dictatorship

1. First, destroy labor unions, so people have no way to bargain for higher wages and less capacity for political organization.

2. Crack down on college students, so they won’t oppose you (hint: burden them with so much student debt and make it so hard for them to find good jobs that they won’t dare rock the boat).

3. Undermine public education, so people are less able to think critically for themselves.

4. Cut deals with rich business executives and billionaires that if they back you you’ll reduce their taxes, slash government spending on the poor, and eliminate regulations that impinge on their profits.

5. Make most people economically anxious, frustrated, angry, and insecure.

6. Convince them their problems stem from “them” — foreigners, immigrants, racial or ethnic or religious minorities, intellectuals.

7. Make them cynical about democracy.

8. Convince them all they need is a strongman who will fix everything.

9. Fill the airwaves with big lies.
10. Get elected, and then take over.

Did you even know what a tariff was?
You and Trump both thought that tariffs were paid by foreign countries.

Too much financial illiteracy.
You should get some education

Any one who wants Americans market money should come and manufacture in America and create jobs for Americans then you have no reason to worry about tariffs

No, this is not a recent picture. This is a picture of the last time Trump was in office in 2020.
Seems familiar, no?
The more things change the more they stay the same.
Chaos then, Chaos now.
This was how shelves were all over the world at the same time even where Trump was not their president

That’s not something to celebrate.
A recession only favors people who have spare cash to buy stuff when everyone else is struggling. This is why I can’t get behind you guys and this individualistic approach to existence.

Every recession sees a widening in the wealth gaps with struggling families losing more just to survive while the vast majority of the wealth goes to those who already have more.

First you guys said he would be amazing for the economy. That the American people voted for the economy because things were so hard for them.

Now you’re all but celebrating a recession because you can get lower interest rates due to decline in people’s purchasing power. Which is it? It’s almost as if all that talk about voting for the economy was hogwash. And we knew it.
You and I voted for personal reasons that affects you individually

The stock market goes up and down, it cratered multiple times under Biden and it bounced back up

If you don't bargain for ups and downs then maybe stock market is not for you and try something else

Republicans have never not now, not in the past 50 years have they ever been good for the economy. But they know how to get votes by selling propaganda to the average folks who feel they’re on their way to becoming the next billionaire oligarchs.
More Americans voted for Trump the Republican despite all the campaigns of the democrats, using all the power of the executive against him

People trust him because he does what he promises unlike those who forget immediately they enter office

Everything Trump is doing is what he said he would

because they make the govt function?

the current local economy or another one?

We are still waiting for day one. Sounds to me he developed amnesia on those day one promises
Do they ALL really make govt function or just bloat govt spending. I am sure the job there can be done more effectively even with less people if they imbibe private sector efficiency. Everyone wants waste in govt to be cut until someone actually tries to do it and they protest

The national debt is blowing up yearly. In 2019 4.5 trillion was spent, last year it was 6.5 trillion. What have we done that made govt balloon by 50% in 4yrs and if we continue at that pace where will we be in 20yrs

Is govt functioning because they spend 650k on studying menstruation in Trans men? Or by dei in Colombia? If you want to continue spending your tax dollars on that, you can always write a check to them

Many people actually say when they are slowing down, they will go and take govt jobs as its usually quite chill, they don't do much, the job is not stressful as in private sector. Ordinary to write 5 bullet points about what you did last week, that private sector folks have been doing for decades caused so much problems

So you've not been seeing companies announcing new investment into their US operations? I suggest you get out of the liberal media echo chamber where they told us Trump is projected to lose Iowa but won by a 13 points gap

This is why the question is asked is not getting answers

Canada has been placing tariffs on US products and they are all happy about it

US will reciprocate the same percentage on Canada and somehow some Americans are sad about it

Make that make sense

People don’t become terrorist supporters just because you say they are.Seeing the bodies of mutilated children and feeling the need to stand up in protest doesn’t make one a terrorist.

By that logic anyone who says anything you don’t like is a terrorist. Use that logic you claim to have in abundance of for once.

For the Nigerians here who support indiscriminate slaughter of humans because terrorists are hiding amongst them, just know that this could very well be you and your lineage.

They can use the excuse of boko haram is hiding amongst y’all to clean Nigeria off the face of the earth. And you shouldn’t be able to say anything since all is justified in the fight against terrorism.
How absolutely bizarre and unconscionable

Despite all these 'waste' you accuse Democrats of, how come its the Republican that always balloon the deficit?

Let me quote coccandy summary as a pointer

Republican Ronald Reagan ADDED $74 billion to the deficit.

Republican George W. Bush ADDED $102 billion to the deficit.

Democrat Bill Clinton REDUCED the deficit by $383 billion, left a budget SURPLUS.

Republican George W. Bush ADDED $1.54 trillion to the deficit.

Democrat Barack Obama REDUCED the deficit by $825 billion.

Republican Donald Trump ADDED $2.1 trillion to the deficit

Democrat Joe Biden REDUCED the deficit by $942 billion.

Trump is back and we’re looking at another enormous depression looming.

Obama didn’t lift us out of the worst recession in recent times.

Biden wasn’t improving the covid economy that Trump destroyed.

This current economic crisis and impending depression is not happening. Whatever you’re hearing, you didn’t hear it. Whatever you’re seeing, you didn’t see it.

Let’s wait for the dear leader to speak before we know what to believe. And even then it’s subject to interpretation depending on how it fits the narrative.

Are millions f Americans withdrawing the money the moment the market is down? The market goes up and down and if you only sell when the market is down then you need to evaluate your trading strategies

Less than 30mins ago, I just bought 100 units of NVDA like most Americans are doing since they know that it goes up and down

Trump promised prosperity and we are seeing it. Companies are bringing money and investing into the US economy bringing manufacturing jobs

When the market slumped same way in 2022, did people sell or wait for the rebound

You are back to manufacturing tales in your head. Who exactly accused Democrats of waste? When I have consistently said both parties have encouraged bloated govt for the past 40yrs

Its amazing how you cook up imaginary statements no one said, then argue against it

The Federal spending in 2019 went from 4.4 trillion to 6.5 trillion in 2024, If we continue at tht pace of 50% increase every 5yrs in the next 20yrs we will be looking at 33 trillion

For what? To study menstruation in trans men?

Have you also made up your mind whether Tump's tariffs are a bluff/bargaining tool or whether he actually wants them to raise revenue and get companies to move production to the US.
You seem to straddle the fence picking whatever argument is currently most beneficial to you.

A lot of what you write it bullshit.

No job is guaranteed, you have your current job because you are adding value to your employer, the moment you cease to, they will fire you immediately. Same thing for govt jobs when you cease to add value you get laid off, It has been happening in private sector for decades

Govt needs to be more efficient
