3). You have no way of knowing what President Trump's supposed "ulterior" motives are.
Wind, solar, and other clean energy alternatives can have a much more long lasting future than fossil fuels, and government spending should follow accordingly.

Your stock market comment is useless, in that a majority of people do not have disposable income to risk in the stock market. I'm happy for you that you can. Go get those gains.

Trumps motives are practically on his sleeves. Just connect the dots.

Sorry, bit I'm not riding on the Trump train that you are. He's my POTUS but I certainly will not stand by his side and pat him on the back.

Liberals simply can't grasp hold of reality. They prefer to live in a make believe world that CNN and other news networks paint for them. I thought they would have figured it out by now.



The economy isn't on fire and you know it. So just stop your embarrassing yourself, oh wait if you jobs like restaurants as being on fire then yeah I'll give you that one.




Manufacturing? That's my field of work and no that's another lie. Sure there is work IF you work there but they won't hire more people they just make us work 10 hour shift 7 days a week. It's cheaper then bringing new people in. The cost of drug screening back ground checks, etc. It's cheaper to just work the snot out of the people they have there.

So exactly what has Trump done to hurt this country?

So far the only argument I can see is the potential increase in deficit from the tax cut. However, if that's an concern for the Democrats, how about working with the Rs to cut the spending so that there wouldn't be any deficit?
"So far the only argument I can see is the potential increase in deficit from the tax cut."

I will wait and see if this come true.

Under W. Bush, tax revenues INCREASED to RECORD levels after his tax plan took affect.

This is only the beginning, the tip of the iceberg. It will only get worse.
"Cuts to regulations in EPA will cause polluted waters and air."

Prove it.

"Cuts to Education will put our kids behind in math and other subjects."

Education is a LOCAL and local taxes pay for it. If a state can't afford their programs INCREASE THEIR taxes.
I should NOT have to lay for kids in another state because their politicians are effective.

"Cuts to Health will decrease our life expectancy."

Prove it.

All I see is "the world will end" projections with NOTHING factual to back them up.

As for the deficit growth with Trump's pay-day loan style tax scam, that is strictly the fault of his party. You don't get to blame the Democrats for a purely Republican law, so cut the partisan excuses.

As for Trump himself, the man is worthless. His gross immaturity has done nothing but harm to international relationships, and the single piece of legislation he has passed is nothing but a vote-buying scam at its finest. And that doesn't even cover the damage to healthcare he's done. Yeah, you might pay less in the future, but don't be shocked if you get nothing for it. More of the usual right-wing idiocy about letting businesses do whatever they want.

If you want to claim the man is not that dangerous because he's next to useless, maybe you'll get lucky and history will prove you right in a few years when we're hopefully rid of him. But if that's true, that also means all the Trumplings who are licking his boots and giving him credit for MAGA are simply lying since he's done nothing. Of course, they are the same people giving Trump credit for everything from the recovery under Obama to "letting people say Merry Christmas again without fear" to "preventing planes from crashing," so they are cultists anyway.

Finally, Trump himself is slime. He has a long history of sleazy behavior, and is an immature, bigoted, petty, stupid, oaf. Him simply being president, even if he does nothing more than guzzle Coke and whine on Twitter like the orange snowflake he is, diminishing the office and makes a mockery of everything this nation represents.
"As for Trump himself, the man is worthless. His gross immaturity" has done nothing but harm to international relationships"

The SAME can be said about many anti_trump posters.

"has done nothing but harm to international relationships"

Funny since so many have said they like and rust him.

Let's think in terms Trump voters can understand: $$$. Trump's nationalistic stance is making other countries make trade deals without us. Take Canada, for instance. We are indirectly improving Canada's economy because other countries refuse to lick Trump's boots and are buying their goods from them (and other countries) instead of us.
