But then again you'll always have your opposition in this forum even if he does all good for them.

I do understand why he went outside our country for items so to stay competitive in his businesses.

This is why we need a lot of pro-American changes, for example for starters we need our once upon a time heavy manufacturing base back as we don't make much anymore other than making more national debt, division, countries who don't respect us and enemies.
Unless Americans are going to work for 10 cents an hour we will never see manufacturing come back on a large scale. The age of hordes of blue collar workers with a high school diploma trudging down the local factory to made widgets for $15/hour are over. They priced themselves out of a job. As the great Messiah, Daddy Trump himself said in the last debate: "that's called capitalism"

as I remember, she also wants to keep it under wraps. In the few interview I'd seen, she seemed ok with Donald. If it was bad, what person would get re-married in their ex's business property?


Of course I won't deny she has a right to be a bit sore that Donald did cheat on her.

And unless everyone can work in a STEM field, providing our government doesn't keep giving those jobs away to foreigners, there are going to be millions of more poor people in this country and they are just going to have to deal with it and go hungry and homeless. So let's keep letting in millions of illegals and refugees with absolutely no education at all. That's what the "great Messiah Obama" and "Mommy Clinton" want to do.

I wonder if Trump also calls it Captialism when he hires foreign workers through h1-b visas rather than hard-working Americans struggling to find work...

To this point though, the illegal workers are overstated. H1-b visa holders are more likely to effect that, not the illegals. Illegals only remove jobs in the service sector that can give under-the-table pay like restaurants, farming, landscaping, janitorial and construction.

Fact: Trump's threatened to leave NATO.
At the debate:
Kaine: "Alliances are critical. That's why Donald Trump's claim that ... NATO is obsolete and that we need to get rid of NATO is so dangerous."
Pence: "That's not his plan."

Fact:Trump and Pence have praised Putin.
At the debate:
Kaine: "Donald Trump and Mike Pence have said he's a great leader."
Pence: "No, we haven't."

Fact: Trump's said that more countries should have nuclear weapons.
At the debate:
Kaine: "Do you think ... more nuclear weapons in the world will make us safer? That's what Donald Trump thinks."
Pence: "Ronald Reagan also said nuclear war should never be fought because it can never be won. And the United States of America needs to make investments in modernizing our nuclear force for both deterrence and assurance to our allies."
Kaine: "But can you defend Donald Trump's claim that more nations should get nuclear weapons?"
Pence: "But let me go back to this Iran thing ..."

A number of workers in Harrison lost their jobs due to this. It's an OLD story.
^^^^All this accelerated at a great pace once NAFTA went into effect. Back in the early 70s, if one company left or went belly up, factory workers could find other factories where they would get hired.

Back in the 90s, once NAFTA was up and running, many displaced factory workers went to Las Vegas for jobs. Many of those very same jobs are now being done by illegal aliens.

BTW, are you going to vote in this election?

Ya' think?

She was confronted by his mistress on a family ski vacation and publicly humiliated.

I think she decorated the property and being able to use it was part of the divorce settlement.

Yet we had job gains and rising wages under Clinton after the 91-92 recession ended and NAFTA was signed into law... I can agree that globalization cut jobs but it wasn't NAFTA. Instead it was Asian countries whether around the sea of Japan or India that got the jobs that hard-working Americans lost in the 90's and 00's, not Mexico and Canada.
