Two Americans living in the same economic conditions. They earn $45k a year, have the same amount of debt, the same number of dependents. One seeks gov't assistance wherever possible; the other doesn't. Which one is likely to be the liberal? When you expect gov't to give you help, first it will never be enough, you'll always want (need) more, you'll even be angered. You'll be unhappy. It's impossible for gov't to provide the masses everything they need.

Wait a sec. Are you saying Obama didn't lie?

All Trump can do is try to make the conditions for more people to be successful. Unfortunately liberals are fighting him, one even saying he hopes there is a recession. Smart people understand they know it's up to them to do what they have to do and they hope gov't doesn't make it harder which the more involved they are trying to control they do. The housing market and college is an example.

The middle class try to make their way without gov't help but since they can't get out of governments way (like the rich can) when gov tries to help, they are the people who are always get hurt the most.

When the government gets involved in the name of helping the poor, they always make more poor.

Our Dear Leader lies on almost a daily basis. There is simply no comparison on truthfulness between our current President and any of the prior Presidents.

There'd be dancing in the streets if he followed this with a proclamation that he was firing his corrupt cabinet and Pence and Ryan were resigning as well.

The date would be declared as a new national holiday!

He could stop scapegoating. There are problems with immigration in this country, but his obsession with it as the root of all evil has created a whole new segment of single-issue voters who don't care about anything getting their damn wall.

He could stop doing his best to alienate our allies.

He could stop heaping praise on dictators.
"It" could but as a wannabee dictator, this will never happen. The goal is to crush our country
by massive means and any means possible.

I loathe this regime. This one isn't trying to help anyone but himself. No one helps the poor (we're a democrat republic that lies - give me your tired, your poor, your hungry ... not true).

Trump has been made into an existential threat to life as we know it.


Socialist dems in collusion with the media, create hate and fear where none exists. Their efforts have ginned up mass hysteria among the befuddled and confused who cannot believe Hillary lost the 'election'.


the socialist dems and their critical collaboration with the media is akin to a mean kid who spreads rumors that the guy in the white house down the street will cook and eat any kid who chases a baseball onto his property. All the kids than believe the rumors and treat the guy horribly. Bottom line, hate and fear is attributed to the guy instead of the kids spreading the rumor.

He can say two words, "I resign."

BTW--Trump ran on a campaign of fear and hate and continues that campaign appealing to the basest instincts of his supporters.
