Ironically, Trump is not the kind of person that could have envisioned or fought for American Independence. He's not the type of person that could have written its long-lasting Constitution, nor advocated for the Civil Rights that its citizens (of all colors) now enjoy. He could not have seen the country through the rough patches; could not have galvanized the US in its space race; doesn't believe in science and would not have funded nuclear science; would insist that public education should not be free; would have complained about funding the Internet in its early days; would not have instituted a lot of social safety nets that most Americans take for granted. He has only succeeded in pandering to his base of xenophobic racist white Americans who are realizing that America is not just "white only" anymore. Political power is shifting, and this is their last gasp.

His approach to "leadership" and "diplomacy" is to threaten, lie, bully, insult, and divide... a lot like PMB, funny enough.

My impression on things he has done so far:

tax cuts: heavily biased towards the wealthy that will end up spurring inflation and overheating that will eventually need to be curbed by the Fed, leading to the recession of 2019. https://www.businessinsider.com/tax-cuts-could-make-the-next-recession-worse-morgan-stanley-2018-4
Similar things happened under Bush Jr. (2000, 2008), and Bush Sr. (1990-1991)
Recessions have had a habit of occurring under Republican administrations...

health insurance: millions no longer have insurance, leading to higher costs for taxpayers when they get sick
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/studies-find-trump-health-care-will-drive-premiums-n852086

tarriffs: after slapping China and others with tarriffs, he's now giving farmers an unwanted subsidy to help them out since China retorted with tariffs on agricultural products (oh, and Brazil farmers are willing to gain market share https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-soybeans-china/u-s-soybean-exports-scrapped-as-china-shifts-to-brazilian-beans-idUSKCN1IJ2SG )

Diplomacy: insulting and angering UK, France, Canada, and many other longstanding friends just means they will start pivoting; in particular to China and to Japan (with whom they just signed a trade deal worth 1/3 of world GDP: https://money.cnn.com/2018/07/17/news/economy/eu-japan-trade-deal/index.html ).

All his activity look like a good way for America to lose its standing, economically and politically, if you ask me.
Thank you very much o

Biblical what? i think you are the ignorant here. I suggest you read his few books... Madas touch, before 9/11, Art of the deal, Art of the comeback, why we want to be rich.
Trump didn't write those books same way he doesn't own most of the buildings with his name.

He's filed for bankruptcy 6 times and no bank in America would lend him money.

Don't waste your time trying to educate Nigerians about rascism. I have never met a more self hating bunch of black people with inferiority complex like Nigerians. They praise racist white people and tolerate rascism thrown at them but yet won't tolerate tribalism. Such bunch of hypocrites!
GBAM!!!

Naija needs its celebrities to be activisits like Lebron..... speak out and speak up for the masses whose voice is never heard. He speaks the bitter truth....and does a whole lot to improve the lives of others. What do our celebrities do? Put this in your pipe and smoke it. Not even the churches do this...so why hate the guy?..or his message?

I have lived here in NYC for the past 30 years in the same city that Trump was born and i cant believe that i am bantering with some ignorant village boy.It is TOTALLY INCONCEIVABLE for any SANE African to defend this white devil and the craziest thing is that Trump is difficult to defend because all his venom and vitriolic against aficans,blacks 'immigrants and muslims are ALL ON TAPE. Its not some beer parlor gist . But Some african baboons are destroying themselves with perpetual inferiority complex...... Very sad day for africans!
Gbam. Africa BABOONS indeed. 99.9% of the loudmouth here praising the racist pig named Trump won't know where they are if you drop them on Sheas Field. Those are the clowns who love an overt vile racist that's being scorned worldwide. Bunch of clowns and BABOONS indeed.

Absolutely right on point. LeBron has spent over $50 million of his personal fortune to help minority children in Akron and other cities around Cleveland where he grew up. More than the Fake billionaire who was scamming people with his Fake Trump University and Fake charity. God bless LeBron James, MVP on the court and in Real life.

Donald Trump is a rascist, misogynist, corrupt no good dumb man. His professor in college said he has not seen a more dumb student in his life paraphrased by me.
It was racism that led to his winning through electoral college since only 305 people elect American President against the will of overwhelming majority.
Now racism is on all time high. White people are calling cops on black people for nothing and what does Trump do absolute nothing.
People here supporting him for religious reason are all hypocrites. A man that commits almost all the 7 sins is who you are championg over better tolerant people.
A liar, we used to hear there was no collusion with Russia now he and Rudy his attorney are now saying there was collusion it is not a crime.
The worst rascist President ever.
Thanks for speaking out King James and your new school open to everyone at no cost is very commendable.
your ignorance is wawu!!!

How can u put effective and damaging in the same sentence? Trump means well for America. These guys just hate cos they're told to do so. Alot of them used to be friends with Trump.
Obama himself did alot of racial dividing.

I am really pained I have to live in this world with sooo many stuuupid people. I am beginning to understand the psyche of the average Nigerian and their level of reasoning from this nairaland and have come to the conclusion that almost 80-90% of Nigerians are not worth having a conversation with.

Nah.. Trump is hated because he had the guts to defeat their annointed one, Hillary Clinton. They hate him because they got nothing on him. Hillary was funded by money bags home and abroad. Trump funded his campaign himself.

Obviously, you didn't know Jack about American politics . Trump didn't fund his own campaign. He lent his campaign some money which the campaign paid back to him . Hundreds of millions of $ was raised for his campaign and Google is your friend. If i and tens of millions of Americans know him as a racist, I guess you know America better than us from Nigeria. There's a reason 50% of Americans believe Trump is a racist according to the Gallup Poll. If he doesn't care for Blacks and Hispanics in his country what do you think he think of you in a country he called Shiiithole.

LeBron James, the basketball superstar called out President Donald Trump on Monday night for escalating racial tensions.

“He’s kinda used sports to kinda divide us,” James told CNN’s Don Lemon. “And that’s something that I can’t relate to because I know that sport was the first time I was around someone white.”

Trump has repeatedly slammed professional athletes, some for refusing to visit the White House as has been customary after championships, and others for kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality and racial injustice.

“Sports has never been something that divides people,” said James. “It’s always been something that brings someone together.”
James also said that while racism has always been around, Trump has enabled some of the racists.

“The president in charge now has given people, they don’t care now ― they throw it in your face now,” he said.

you have made No sense, The only thing you have managed to do here is label people African baboon, if you are a black man, what does that make you? a monkey?


If you believe that you know more than the people you label baboons, you should have educated them futher, instead of labeling them baboons, Every black man or woman comes from Africa and if Africans are baboons so are all the black Africans including the ones in NYC.

I pity you, because you think living in NYC makes you different from the people you call baboons. it doesn't

Good luck! grin
