Are You Satisfied With President Trump?

[kyredneck]

Anyway, I was interested to know if the members of this board approve or disapprove of the job Mr. Trump is doing.

Do you believe that we have entered into the promised Golden Age in American history? Has his team accomplished everything that you were expecting, or is there more that you’d like to see done?

What's YOUR opinion of Trump? Typical Californian Democrat opinion?

The latest inflation report just knocked down a key risk for markets — and stocks are soaring​

What's YOUR opinion of Trump? Typical Californian Democrat opinion?

There's more that I like about him than I dislike about him.

I'm not yet sold on the idea of tariffs, and I don't believe that manufacturers are simply going to eat the costs as he claims, but I do recognize that it may be the only effective way to address the national debt problem at this point.

The most important thing for me is that we have a president that prioritizes national security above all else. It helps you sleep better knowing that the leader of the free world has your back.

How do you catigorize our military Special Forces ie Marine Recon, Delta Force, Rangers, Navy Seals etc.?

Special Forces is Army but a direct asset of the DoD. They recruit from all branches. The Army Special Forces is divided into five Army and two Army National Guard groups. Delta Force (1st SFOD-D) is a part of the Army Special Forces.

Marine Recon is the Marines elite force, the Rangers the Army's elite force, Navy Seals the Navy elite force, AFSOC the Air Force's elite force.

Each has it's own role.

You have to proficient in another language in Delta Force.

You have to proficient in another language in Delta Force.

You have to in all of the Special Forces, but not to join. You have to pass the DLAB and the Army will train you on the language.

I barely passed the DLAB. But I was not interested in learning another language. It was a weird test they made me take in BASIC. I fell asleep in the test.

Wow…the 25th amendment!

 

[Silverhair]

As I read through this thread I was surprised at how little people in the US understand what the erratic behavior of Trump has done to the trade relations the US has with the rest of the world.

This video should give some food for thought.

Right… AI generated BS

 

[Silverhair]

Might be made via AI but it does tell just how off the wall that man is.

He has shown that the USA can not be trusted.

 

[Silverhair]

Yes this video is AI generated but ignore that and listen to the message contained in it.

The USA has in the last year made itself the unreliable partner.

The world business is turning away from that unreliable partner too more rules based partners. Will it happen over night, NO. But you can see the shift in world trade.

Putting your head in the sand and ignoring the problem will not make it go away. You will just wake up one day to a world you do not know and that has moved on without you.

I’m sorry but I can’t help but read your statement this way…
“Ignore the fact that this is made up and not reliable, listen to what it says and believe it.”

I have no doubts that this generation will be very susceptible to a strong delusion and believe a lie.
I have just been told to believe a fairytale.

I do find it surprising that so many in the US do not get very good info about how the rest of the world views the "off the wall" comments that come from the WH. He has done more harm to inter government relations in 1 year that will be repaired in our lifetime.

Remember he is the one that said the countries that ship into the US will pay the tariff. How is that working out for you?

"President Donald Trump had been in office less than three months when he slapped retaliatory tariffs on imports from dozens of countries, arguing the duties would benefit American companies that have been treated unfairly by foreign nations.

But Trump’s tariffs drove up prices for American consumers, sowed confusion and anger aboard (even among some U.S. allies), and landed before a skeptical U.S. Supreme Court, which is weighing whether he acted legally." USA TODAY Michael Collins

I have found that too many in the US have a head in the sand mentality or they just hope it is all just a bad dream.

We have been paying your tariffs. Suddenly when we expect the same from you that you have expected from us, we are the bad guys.

If you have been punching someone in the face repeatedly, you don’t deserve to have the right to say you have been attacked.
Unfortunately, so much of the world has been living off of the economic boom under US capitalism, even able to suck enough money in tariffs when we are not doing that great for ourselves, that they have not enough ability to stand on their own feet.

You said it. Not me. Trump added retaliatory tariffs. That means if you don’t want tariffs, don’t tariff us.
Don’t whine about how bad Trump has been. Look in the mirror at your own country and ask yourself why you have been taxing a nation over which you don’t have jurisdiction and what right have you to continue unaddressed.
Also, I don’t know why we have allowed it for so long. I suspect that there is money laundering involved. Nobody pays me oodles of money to speak internationally or paint worse than Picasso and get paid better.
But a better question is why have you allowed your own country to take advantage of us? Why have you allowed your country to become so dependent on tariffs imposed on us?

And every legacy media outlet is more than willing to share how much anyone hates what President Trump is doing.
But it doesn’t matter what other countries think. They don’t vote here. Well, they aren’t supposed to voting here. I know what the law says. I can’t vouch for everyone in the world.
Because of that, it doesn’t matter to me. I have good friends who are not US citizens. We don’t agree on everything but that doesn’t change the way I vote. They don’t live here. They are as free to talk about it as you are. But that doesn’t make it any of their business. If it affects you, tell your leaders to shut down your own tariffs. Then you will not be affected by retaliation.
Some of us just recognize trolling and don’t care.

You ever hear of CUSMA.

You seem to think that the US did not have it's own tariffs. That is just head in the sand thinking on your part.
The US seems to think that it does not need anything from any other country but that is again head in the sand thinking.

You need our minerals, power, agro inputs, lumber to name just a few. You also seem to want our water.

The US now has to face the problem of it's own making. You shipped all you factories off shore and have become dependent on imports to sustain you lifestyle.

The US seems to think they can tell other countries how they should allow US companies to do business in their countries. Now the world is telling the US that we do not need them as much as you need the world.

You have a man in the WH that come across as a child. That is why the world is telling the US that they do not need them any more.

I understand that you want to think the US is the greatest thing since sliced bread but those days are past.

The US is just one of many nations that other nations can trade with.

The dumb part is that those tariffs that he puts on imports are paid for by you US citizens. You pay the higher price and you seem to think that is a good thing.

All those tariff costs just get passed along to the end buyer. That's you.

You said retaliatory. And you want to ignore that. I am well aware that the world is full of tariffs. President Trump made some waves and some people are getting uncomfortable.
You are welcome to your opinion. We are allowed to disagree with it.
Just because we are not moved by your opinions doesn’t mean we have our heads in the sand.
