The results are not conclusive yet...unless you have a crystal ball you do not actually know the effects on the economies! Furthermore, as we speak, negotiations are ongoing. Are you telling me that you know the outcome? You could check your facts and discover that Trump began imposing tariffs in January 2018, initially targeting (Chinese- made) washing machines and solar panels.

That must be the biggest slap in the face to his haters. I'm sure there were many who thought "oh well, he'll never get anything done" Instead, he does every thing he said he would, including keeping oil prices down. I say this honestly, I have been impressed with his effectiveness in politics and his wisdom in keeping the U.S. out of foreign conflict. Especially considering he's met arguably the harshest critics and most political resistance of any American President. I definitely don't always agree with him, but he has been consistent to his promises. "Mexico will pay for that wall" "Mexico will pay for that wall" "Mexico will pay for that wall" "Mexico will pay for that wall""Mexico will pay for that wall" I only posted that 4 times-- he promised it 100+ times, to con ignorant white voters like yourself. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Fischer + 1 October 17, 2019 Guest is correct. Did Trump promise that so many of his associates would be indicted? He promised El Paso he would pay for the use of its facilities and he never did- owes us $432,000. And yes - that wall. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest October 17, 2019 Every politician in history has upheld every single one of their promises? I was not aware of this. I would have thought none have. I'm sure Clinton would be doing a fantastic job though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Winning the hearts and minds of the opposition I see. I assume it's safe to say your a "passionate" liberal. So then, I also assume your position on President Trump is that he's a racist who incites hate speech and yadda yadda, but then you come on here and immediately attack me as "an ignorant white voter". You ser why it's hard for anyone to take your position seriously. Lastly, as people on this forum go, I'm pretty middle of the road. I don't attack people for their ideas. I typically try to find middle ground. So. Its wild to me you would be so easily triggered. I'm curious, what is it that President Trump has done that you hate so much? His sometimes stupid tweets? That a wall, which he has been fought on the whole time, hasn't been built or paid for by Mexico? Did you expect them to pay cash for the wall in a one time lump sum? President Trump certainly never indicated that's what he intended. I didnt particularly like a lot of President Obama's policies, but I gave him credit where credit was due and I don't attack his supporters based on the color of their skin.

Guest October 18, 2019 Satellite Images Reveal China's Aircraft Carrier Factory The Centre for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) has given Reuters never before seen high-resolution satellite images of China's aircraft carrier factory. The images were taken last month of the Jiangnan shipyard, located in Shanghai, China. The satellite photos show the progression of China's first domestically built aircraft carrier and the rapid construction of infrastructure at Jiangnan. CSIS analysts said the aircraft carrier's hull should be completed by fall 2020. The images show pre-fabricated sections, bulkheads, and other parts of the aircraft carrier. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/satellite-images-reveal-chinas-aircraft-carrier-factory Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally I see Trump being different because he makes serious promises EXTREMELY loudly.

Guest October 18, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Rasmus Jorgensen said: big gap between Trumps promises and results. I don't. Here ... ''There is no wall yet'', ''There is no wall yet'', ''There is no wall yet'' .... (3 times) ''It wasn't entirely paid for by Mexico'', ''It wasn't entirely paid for by Mexico'', ''It wasn't entirely paid for by Mexico'' .... (3 times). My point or 'defence' of Trump would be that this is ONE promise he made that every Trump hater is jumping on. He also had a campaigh about bringing people back home from mindless war. How's the reaction to that going? Mindless deaths of people from a country who have got shit for decades over even being in the ME!! He talks of ending that - ''outrageous'', ''well he's got blood on his hands now''. Democrats are laughable. The guy could end all war and shoot your economy through the roof and do 1000 positive things for the USA and people would still say ''well what about the wall?'' By the way, not directed at you, but I've asked on probably 4 different threads now ''what have the democrats positively done in 3 years??'' I'm still waiting for just one answer to this. The silence is quite telling. But what do I know? I'm just a dumb white guy. Edited October 18, 2019 by Guest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not this one. Although I guess I am more of a critv than a hater. like @Zhong Lu said - people that were financially f-ed under O'bama likely still are. Also, we have no idea about the longterm consequences of how trump interacts with the world. While it may NOT be fair to declare failure, by the same token it is NOT fair to declare victory either.
