You watch too much CNN.

CNN in particular (and left wing media in general) is not good for your mental health.

Try to diversify your media consumption.

These folks are setting you all up again for major meltdown in 2020. What you are doing now is the very reason folks were literally weeping on live TV and in the streets back in 2016 - just as it's now happening in the UK about brexit.

Help yourself if you can. Question the media biases and propaganda. Counter your favorite news sources brain washing machine with opposing views. Always try to have a grasp on all sides of the divides. But stick with vetted facts and realities even when they demolish your preferred or popular narratives. Refuse to be brainwashed by idiotic propaganda machines and their propagandists pretending to be journalists or media outlets.

Sterope:
Do you follow the news on Trump? Do you know that Mueller recently said that the reason Trump had not been indicted is because he is a sitting president? Are you aware of his court cases? Do you have a picture of Trump hanging on your wall that you watch daily and hourly? And no, I don't know the businessmen who respects Trump because the only people, businessmen or not that respect this man, are those who are in support of him to begin with. I really don't know what you are talking about when you use Trump and respect for his business skills in the same sentence. Even very few of the executives of these businesses even give a damn about Trump to begin with...like I asked earlier, have you ever followed Trump in the news?

Is it fair for that woman who sells you fish to pay tax from the little she earns while the big corporation go tax free? Is her business not putting food down on the table? Do you know how tax is calculated especially in the developed countries? Does tax affects their inability to generate enough profit for their stakeholders?

How do you expect the Government to run? Who provides the environment for these businesses to run?

Obama was the worst to thing to ever happen to America .. heavy unemployment to sponsoring of Islamic terrorism .. See between Buhari and Obama I don't know who I detest the most

Obama that has the worst African fiscal policy so far... mtcheeew!

You are so much in love with the orange man.

You should try and remember that Trump doesn't give a damn about you or making your life better. Total support for a bigot, racist and misogynist shows you suffer from a lot of irredeemable issues. I can't help you darling. You are a lost cause.

So because "government cannot tax zero profit" it's now okay to start taxing revenues?

By the way, who told you that those companies have nexus or local offices in France and failed to pay the accrued taxes? Or are you using generic scenarios to justify a blanket imposition of politically motivated levies against US tech companies?

FYI, I talked about "qualifying threshold" which includes "€750 million in global revenue".

Anyway, you're free to support the illegality, but stop screaming when Trump voices his disapproval or imposes his retaliatory measures on France/French products/business - including using proxies to make good those retaliations.

Lol...your type are the ones that stick their head in a heap of sand and pretend everything is Uhuru. You seem to think Cooporations are moral entities that would do their fair share, sorry to announce they only do when there are regulatory checks in place to force them to do so. These companies for years now have been using the fact that their businesses have limited physical presence to milk the systems dry.

Political motivations you say? I hope you are one of those 1% who currently hold much of the world's wealth else that statement seems a lot pathetic to hear from someone outside that bracket.

Go read the Oxfam reports on tax havens and see how billions are been subverted yearly thus undercutting governments performances in most countries on delivering quality of life to their citizens. Ireland alone makes $90 billion from taxing tech companies like Apple who have their EU headquarters there but 95% of those revenues by such comes from outside of Ireland and is mostly other EU countries.

Just to simplify it for you Google is busying harvesting people's data to sell services. At the end of the fiscal year Google Nigeria would be declaring 50,000 naira profit while the revenue from Nigeria is like 50 billion naira. Ask Google Nigeria and they would claim the 50billion revenues was used to pay the image rights to the parent company for using their names and services in Nigeria. In their books and in the eyes of the current tax laws that would be seen as buying of mechandise for the business and such can't be taxed they may even get tax reliefs for such if their consultants are extremely good.


That is an unsustainable situation. Most countries are waking up to such now and it won't take time before others level up. I am not a fan of any country. I am a follower of commonsense. Would support Trump if the taxes are sensible and not just a retaliatory one.

I really can't help you. For you to actually think that Trump is responsible for this economy is very laughable.

Keep worshipping him, he is your Messiah

AgreatMan:


What baseless court cases? The same cases that were not enough to stop him from running as President? I beg leave matter, all na noise.

And no, I don't follow Trump in the news but somehow, d dude has infiltrated every news site I am usually interested in.

Poor people go to the bank to save money n go home to think about what they will use the money for. A rich man comes to the bank to collect their money and run his biz.

Trump has no business skills but somehow the American economy has being at his best ever. His juju must be very strong.

Tax is meant for the poor n not for the rich, the rich folks know how to push their tax due date ahead. Sad reality that u should let sink in. Don't let your hate become an obsession.

And let's reduce this "if" statement. If Trump hadn't won the election. If I hadn't graduated with third class. If I hadn't had this misfortune. All na story

Lol that's why cultish followership of Public figures or leaders should be highly frowned at.

Not everything Trump says is right but their bias that he is their Messiah seems to make them intelligence even in lopsided arguments.

Not suprised though. The guy already said he would win even if he carries a gun and shoots someone on the streets. That's to show you he has dumb followers.

Raw facts pointed out by you

Donald95:
I love Trump because He loves the people that voted for him.

Not a lifeless brain dead President somewhere in Africa that finds it entertaining to shoot protesters that are asking him to obey the law that gave him opportunity to be a president.

Not a president that goes round the world talking shit about About American youths.

dermmy:


You are arguing out of point you are even arguing against your point. Oh yea US is the one paying the bulk of NATO bills but which country is actively using the alliance for its interest most? It's the United States, so what do you expect? The fact that US is the one paying bulk of the bills should tell you that America really values and need NATO and does not want the alliance to die.

Let me give you facts. If NATO dies today i can tell you western European countries would build their own military organisation that would protect them from Russia and any other percieved foe. Infact french president Emmanuel Macron has hinted on that last year when Trump was barking at European countries for their inability to pay up their bills.

US is the only country in NATO that has invoked article 5 during its creation. After the 9/11 attack on US. US triggered article 5 and declared herself under attack, NATO countries started flying intelligence misson over US in solidarity and moved to Afghanistan to smoke out the taliban govt that gave Osama a safe haven. So that alliance is very vital to US world hegemony. Do you think US can take on Russia and China alone without the help of her NATO allies?
O
US really need the cooperation of her allies to continue her hegemony.

This one that y'all are mentioning allies allies since morning. Mention the allies of USA presently and let's analyze their strength both in Economy, Technology and what have you. Combine them all and they're not as half as the USA.

Allies that almost crumbled during the WWII if not for the interference of the USA. Agreed, allies are needed but you just gotta understand the dynamics of US.

Bro's face it. US right now can take on any nation in the world.

duni04:

Where was this western alliance during WW2 when the Germans over ran almost all of Europe? Americans had to travel thousands of miles across the Atlantic to rescue Europe. And you're here in 2019 talking about a mythical western alliance. Don't go and talk like this on American forums. They'll just insult the heck out of you.

Oh nice. I should have waited to read this before replying him.

dermmy:


It's like you are really obsessed with America. You are talking as if US came to do the job for Europe. WW2 was won through the alliance of different countries, US troops were fighting alongside french, british, polish, Swiss, Netherland, Russian troops even these imperial powers went to their colonies to recruit conspcripts to fight for them. Conscripts were taken from Africa, middle east and other parts of the world in large numbers and you are giving the credits to America. Infact the performance of Africans in the 2nd world war was great that it boosted their morale and changed their view of white man superiority. This is what happens when you are obsessed with someone/something and you can't even think straight.

I'll stop quoting you.

Bros stop talking like this nau. All those countries you mentioned had all fallen during the war. France was over. In fact, France became a battle ground. Britain was strained; barely surviving from trade deals between USA. Or what dyou think prompted Japan's action and US entry into the war? Even your might Russia was hit.

Bros re-read your history.

Are you insinuating that the interference of Russia is not as important (if not more important ) than the interference of the USA during the WW2?
The US alone can not take all the credit for the defeat of Germany during WW2.

I don't care about your anticapitalist and anti innovation ideology. The route is pretty simplistic: when you fail to be productive, blame your failure on your more productive peers and clamour for bigger and more intrusive government who can rob the productive businesses on your behalf and transfer the proceeds of such robbery to you.

But here's the newsflash: that idea of robbing Peter to help Paul is unsustainable.

Wait until those tech companies blacklist France in their global business model or push the cost of doing business in France back to French consumers and local businesses. Then you'd know that levying business revenue as opposed to taxing business profits is a terribly bad policy.

By the way, I don't even care what France does with it's policy direction. They will always get equal or 10x higher consequences for their choice. My qualms are with folks like you who hate on Trump for standing up for his people.

There's a reason America has remained the global HQ of innovations for decades. And they did not get their by levying the revenues of their entrepreneurs.

Thanks to Mr. Trump, France (and all those like them) will keep messing up their innovation quotient until all the American feeding bottles get totally pulled away from their national mouths. Then they will beg and lobby for those businesses to come in.

Trump needs Europe, not fight them to conquer the rest of the world.

No Mr Man! Go and learn from history. Europe needs America far more than America needs Europe. The two times in the 20th century when Europe went into a mess in 1914 and 1939, it was always America who had to step in a few years later to quench the mess. America is the real BIG BROTHER. If America sneezes, Europe catches cold!

NATO is overwhelmingly funded and maintained by America. So, pls don't tell me that thing again that Trump needs Europe. They are the ones that need Trump. If most of these European leaders did not realize that they need Trump, they would have kicked out Trump a long time ago with the way they beef him. Macron, indeed was very Foolish to have done such a thing knowing the consequences from America!

Where exactly do you get your news from? It's very obvious you are highly uninformed or misinformed. I can almost be certain that you watch too much CNN or BBC for news. Let me give you one tip to help your life; If you want to live in the real world and see things as they truly are, AVOID CNN, MSNBC, BBC AND ABC News. Any news you get from these networks is not INFORMATION, but mere NARRATIVES! They are only interested in broadcasting what they want people to think, not what happened. I stopped watching CNN since 2017, and my life has been better since.

Watch your Mueller and see for yourself what he did when he was questioned in congress

Bros re-read your history.

Bro Google 'Allied forces' and check the countries that participated in second war from 1939-1945. The fact that Germany overran European countries doesn't mean all the forces of those countries were decimated completely. When US came in they fought together ok. Russia defended staligrad itself when Germany invaded stalingrad. You can check the belligerents on wikipedia.

Go to Wikipedia and look at the beligerents that took part in Normandy invasion. It was the western allied powers that took Normandy back from Nazi Germany not US alone. The allied countries even fought Nazi Germany in North Africa please google 'North Africa campaign'. Go to wikipedia and look at the allies that fought world war 2. This one you guys are saying US rescued Europe. US didn't rescue Europe it fought alongside these countries to defeat Nazi Germany ok. Australia and US also fought Japan in the pacific, please Google the 'Battle of port moresby'. This same Australia also fought alongside US to defeat Japan in the pacific theatre known as "Battle of coral sea" please check these fact on wikipedia so you won't think I'm forming them just to earn likes.

Alliance is important ok. Why do you think US is seeking western and Arab coalition against Iran even though it knows Europe is not ready to go hostile against Iran.

Why is US pressuring its allies to stop doing business with Iran to the point of threatening them with sanctions. US can't achieve so many things without the cooperation of his european allies ok.

Comprehension has always being a problem with Nigerians . They prefer to read headlines instead of the body. This is really affecting our educational standard. Trump only referred to his action as foolish act not the person

[quote author=Ultimatezlant post=80661177]I noticed Nigerians supporting trump don't even know a thing happening in USA, all they know is that trump must be worshipped only to spite the first black president for not selling arms to gej who was deemed not functional.

Whenever trump issue is measured they just have to add their buhari frustration which everway they can.

The so called economy has been a rip off of the work Obama put in place not that trump revived the world biggest economy from any previous decline (economy was ok when trump came in).

The foundation of which America was built as a global leader is its position in global affairs which trump has isolated it from in the pretence of america first that is actually white supremacy been the most emboldened more than at any time

Obama worshippers, I hope if the US economy is not doing well , your likes would be bold enough to come on social media and accept that it is because of what Obama put in place that made it bad... when it is good the praise must go to your loved one even when Americans almost begged for food in his time but when it goes bad it is the handwork of those you hate. I don’t care where you live but I make bold say, I have been here since George bush senior, please do not comment on what you have not taken time to study. We may not like the way Trump talk most times but so far so good in a long while

datasthmagirl:
The US budget for NATO is bigger than that of the entire Europe combined.

The US does not go with NATO because Europe pushes for it or vice versa. Both regions go wherever NATO goes because they are bound to do so. A threat to one member of NATO is a threat to ALL members of NATO. When you attack one, you attacked all.

And that's why it's stupid for the EU (especially those in Western Europe) to keep going against the US interest.

The only reason Iran is making noise now is due to Obama's stupidity and his sell out to the so called "new world order" or global "progressive " alliance to weaken and end the US global hegemony.

They want to empower Iran against Israel and SA to neutralize the US influence in the Middle East. This is precisely why they so hate Trump's America First policy and go wildly berserk whenever they see or hear the Make America Great Again slogan.

Really! You don’t need to lecture me about who has the biggest spending in NATO, but remind yourself about what motivated the alliance.

I don’t see where Europe is going against US interest, governments are trying to make money at every opportunity you give them. It is in US interest to return same favor or whatever measure they plan on using to remind France about their new tax law and how it will affect USA interest not going to tweet and threatening with tariffs and calling a government’s authority foolish.

That story about Obama, lol you must be reading news from Fox... only a Fox-er can write that

Obama made a deal with Iran, not just Obama but along with P5+1 of the United Nation.

Isreal, Iran and Saudi are all sovereign countries who are all fighting their neighbors for their own interest too.

If Iran is a terrorist country that’s supports terrorism, Saudi should get that label too. Saudi was linked to 9/11, Saudi was linked to Kashogi... nothing happened, Saudi still remain the beloved country.

Now, it is very okay to back out of an agreement signed by a previous administration for whatever reason, but it is wrong to compel them to abide by such agreement that you backed out of. You are no signatory to that agreement anymore, and as such leave the other countries that are involved to continue with their agreement.

BafanaBafana:
What makes the USA strong is their allies. With the coming of Trump, they have lost a lot of allies, lost a lot of respect etc. Imagine Iran shooting down their drone and nothing happened. smh

They have not lost any allies though. Yes, the Allies are not happy but they know where their bread is buttered.
They are no fools. Without the American cover, western Europe is in trouble.
The fear of Russia is the beginning of wisdom for many of them.

He has engaged North Korea on his re- election bid.


That's how he must react, judge from perspective that you need to protect your family.


You react same way


Don't let Buhari foolishness affect your way of reasoning too

What you wrote down there does not make any sense.

What Obama did on Iran Deal and Climate Accord was illegal and ANTI AMERICAN.

In the US, the president does not get to enter a valid foreign treaty on behalf of the American people without due congressional ratifications. Obama bypassed the US congress because he knew that his anti American agenda on both cases would fail if it goes to the US Congress.

Thank God for Trump. He will undue every darn anti American thing that Obama did.

I don't have time to respond to any of your initial rants.

All I can tell you is that, as Trump said, Iran will NEVER have access to nukes. Not today. Not forever. And when the time is ripe, even the EU caliphate will be compelled to join the major ass kicking of Iran.

Putting America first doesn't mean he should go about insulting every world leader, the other time it was the Canadian PM, later the chancellor of Germany, former PM of Britain and several others.
Is he the only wise leader in the world? While citizens of those countries and even Americans condemn him, people like you support him, when he even said that Sub Sahara African countries were Shithole countries, Americans and citizens from those countries were against him but people like you praised him. Your brain didn't tell you that he was insulting you too since you are a product of a shithole since we all know what a shithole produces.

OriginalZombiE:



Wow!

You must be very smart, clap for yourself.

Well, before you start clapping let me educate you a bit about geopolitics.

Obama and Hillary Clinton together with the rest of Europe sponsored the overthrow of Gaddafi, a man overseeing the one of the most prosperous economies in Africa.

Gadaffi died and Lybia turned to a labyrinth of slavery and death, where Boko haram train and recruit their soldiers. So, Obama indirectly funded the growth of Boko Haram and Terrorism which is seriously affecting Nigeria today.

Obama also has a hand in the war that has decimated the nation of Sudan.

Do you still like your beloved first black president??

Trump compared to Obama is a breath of fresh air for Africa.
He has not started any wars, neither has he tried to destabilize any African nation.

Read you no go read na to dey watch CNN from morning to night.

You know you're not so different from him. If you also think America care about you.
