No, the working class like me pays the bills for those things, while the rich (Trump and friends) keep getting richer.


Again please provide a link as to what jobs he has created. When they give money to charities it's a tax write off.




As I said before I weep for this nation.

His hotels alone have created 34,000 jobs. The state of New York says that "leisure and hospitality" companies like Trump's typically have a 1.5 multiplier effect. So those who stay in his hotels spend money.

But dream on. Maybe a fortune cookie will make you feel better.
The problem with people like you is that you are living in the now, not where the world is projected to be in about 30 years.

In 30 years, China will still be a weakling compared to the mighty U.S., which Trump is making stronger every day.

Remember when Japan was going to "take over" and "surpass the U.S."?

LOL. That fantasy turned out to be a joke as well.

When America farts, the world takes notice.

No other country even comes close to having that level of power and influence.

That's a large part of the reason why they hate us -- jealousy and impotency.

We can't maintain the friendships we've had based on $$. We are tapped out, even if you don't want to admit it. War and world friendships cost $$. If we keep those friendships up, we'll fall even further down the rabbit hole.

I think the reason he isn't popular is because he won't pretend America has unlimited funds. That our money grows on White House trees. Trump will hopefully give this nation a break, so it can heal up after the last twelve years of constant conflict.

America is a young country, the world has no business draining us, they're just use to it. In turn we borrow tons of money to keep up our world image. It was bound to come to this. We need a break!

The deplorable realize this. We can't keep taking on illegals, supporting countries financially in the name of climate control, constant wars in the name of world peace. The deplorable are willing to try and give America a rest to heal.

So, if you are worried about safety, put America first for a while.
First, it is not England's intelligence that has kept as safe, it is the intelligence from middle eastern sources and contacts. Terrorists incidents do and will occur in this country again, but these sources and contacts allow us to stop many before they happen.

The amount of foreign aid that this country has given has always been a minuscule portion of its budget. 1% of the US budget is spent on foreign aid.

For what we pay out in foreign aid and what we get in return, there is no question that we benefit.

Trump Unpopular Worldwide, American Image Suffers | Pew Research Center

"Trump and many of his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings for the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations. According to a new Pew Research Center survey spanning 37 nations, a median of just 22% has confidence in Trump to do the right thin"

36% here and 22% everywhere else.

I wonder if there is an Elephant in the Room.
Like this is something we didn't know? Let's face it, as soon as he won the nomination, people worldwide were scratching their heads. Then when he won, people worldwide just looked at each other like, what the eff were they thinking? And now, due to his complete ineptness & crassness, the world truly does look down on us & who can blame them? The sane people of this country feel the same. But really, day by day, he's becoming irrelevant.

He is just showing to the world that he is a lunatic. Many have known that for years in the US.

We just never knew so much of America was as crazy as he is. I knew we had stupid, deranged people on the right, but never realized 40% of this country is actually part of a sick cult who worships someone like Trump.

Actually the same thing could have been said for Obama.


The only difference is the vast majority of those who voted for Trump absolutely DO NOT "worship" him. I think that's the dems projecting their worship of Obama.
