The Trump presidency has entered its third year and we have a tougher policy toward China, a weaker policy toward Russia, and a new NAFTA agreement which made minimal headway toward making America great again.

Koch brother foundation articles can publish a dozen propaganda articles saying that the jobs are coming back. That doesn't make it true. Big business will never pay $20 an hour for low skilled jobs when it doesn't have to.

Other than a major tax cut for the rich, minor modifications to NAFTA, and protecting corporate technology from the Chinese, did you get your good jobs back? This is a personal question which won't stand up to all of the lies that Fox news tells every day.

Even if you can't get your good job back, would you be willing to let the democrats rebuild our roads and maybe get you health care? Would you be willing to let the democrats tell your corporate masters that it will take more than arbitrary reasons to fire you?


Voting republican hasn't worked for the middle class for more than a hundred years. Social Security and Medicare are the creation of democrats.

And I hope people will continue to note that the only areas that anything positive can at least be claimed (whether fully true or not) all really only deal with money, and mostly money going to people who already have it. In pretty much every other area - health care, environment, consumer protection, etc. - it's worse.

I'm working more than ever and making more than ever. So thank you Trump for giving this happy blue collar manufacturing worker a hand! I couldn't be more happy with the fact that my government is working for hard working American workers like me again


Also, learn a useful skill or trade and you will never need a hand out or useless government social programs. Even today, you can earn you keep, as god intended, if you commit to learning your trade or craft, and put in some effort. If you can earn your keep, you will have no use for democrats, who will only stand in your way and try to hold you back from achieving your potential. Democrats truly suck!

Defeat Hillary for one thing. I assume the general good times that followed had something to do with Trump as well.

I paid roughly $3900 less in income taxes this year because of his tax cuts.

I work in the medical industry and the elimination of the medical device manufacturer taxes associated with Obamacare was massive for the industry.

Good for you. Why don't you ask the people who don't have thirty k in deductions anymore.

I didn't lose any tax deductions Tony, which deductions did you lose because of the tax cut?

Trump is the best President we've had since Thomas Jefferson and will easily be re-elected.
