Yes, a little bit. Saudi and Pakistan should be on there too.

Trump has business interests there. do you think it was just a random concidence?

Do you worry cost of good will go up if the 20% tariff comes to pass?

Nope It doesn't work that way.

OK. Tell me how it works. Why are corporations and businessmen protesting? Do you read the Wallstreet Journal?


But voting is a gamble. You cannot really put 100% confidence in the president.

But did you think Steve Bannon will replace more experienced people in the Security Council? Do you think it matters?

It's the violent intolerance of the left, such as this episode in Portland, that worries 95% of America.

The video speaks for itself.

You do realize that very, very few liberals are actually doing that, right? It has been greatly exaggerated in right wing media.

But at least some of you must be worried?
Do you question why the list of countries banned has excluded Saudi Arabia that gave us 9/11? Pakistan where Osama was caught and killed? Or do you truly believe they just used Obama's list because, you know, they just admire him so much and follow all his instructions?
Do you worry cost of good will go up if the 20% tariff comes to pass?
Do you worry what is happening to your health insurance if Obamacare is repealed?
Do you worry perhaps you made a mistake voting for Trump?
Do you worry that he has no idea how to manage this governance thing and leaving it all to Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway and Kushner? Is that good enough?

Where are those people?
Nope.

Not worried at all.

Lefties, here's a clue: Suggestion speak doesn't work on us like it does little children and the left. Telling us that we worry doesn't make us worry. Telling us that we feel (whatever) doesn't actually make us feel that. Saying, "You're worried, here's why" doesn't make us think, "omg, I am worried!"

Following it up with this:

you do not have to respond since you are so happy.
Is trying to make someone believe that if they aren't worried, they are not "thinking, rational, good-hearted" people. Cripes, you can learn this bs in Psychology 101.

That manipulation tactic only works on feeble minded people. Save your energy.

He may have not included them for economic reasons. If Trump is safely do business there, then so are others.

Maybe only a few liberals are doing that but the vast majority of the liberals are advocating violence every time they speak!

I have things I hope will happen. One is that we will involve ourselves less in the wars in the middle east, including supplying weapons.

If it too early, what is they go ahead and budget for the wall? Do you know more people were deported when Obama was president than at any other time? So it can be done without a wall.
Trump is already talking about strengthening the military which means production of weapons and selling them to other countries. One of the things Obama is blamed for is he refused to get involved in wars.
