Well whatever, Trump tore up TPP and Hillary and Obama did not for one example. He got rid of the garbage Paris climate deal for another. Trump also is reducing regulations that put the US at a competitive disadvantage.

Trump was the best choice available even if I criticize how is dealt with allies in the administration.

Is that what I said? Not if you read carefully and in context.

Wall Street and corporations seem to love Trump and the GOP as much or even more. Trump has appointed a whole lot of Wall Street types to key positions. Possibly more than any POTUS before him.

I refute that globalization is a "liberal" policy. It has always received bipartisan support. This is not even debatable.

The US economy will not be better off because Trump backed out of TPP. We have given our greatest competitor, China, a huge opening with our preferred trade partners. TPP was also quite beneficial for US agricultural interests.

And major US corporations have roundly decried walking away from the Paris accord. Not for some "tree hugging" angle, but because they see big advantages for US business in being participants and have vowed to stay in the game.

And for all the tough talk, Trump has failed to drop NAFTA. Maybe he will. And China can gain an even bigger foothold in North America.

OMG I don't think even Trump would be so stupid as to drop NAFTA, since Mexico and Canada are the top two countries for American exports.

At the moment I seriously doubt that Trump and the GOP are capable of passing wind, let alone a health bill. The GOP are the very definition of the word inept.

I don't believe that anyone wanting to unite us all is what separates those in the country. Some are instead taught to feel one way and act "superior".

Others are born as they are too, into different races, varied conditions and upbringings. Many, despite finances, etc., are still taught to be fair, respectful, open-minded, rational, honest, decent human beings. I would take that person over a dishonest, unfair, racist, cruel, deceitful, angry, selfish, hateful, emotionally-flawed individual, ANY day.

Life is what one makes it, alright.
*To add, after my earlier response above and explanation to the poster, this is the Reputation message I got from that poster:

"My life is very blessed. You sound hateful. NCN"

(Isn't that selection to be used for rating one's post positively?)


Just furthers the point of my message.

They lost. We voted for the message . We are the ones responsible for the Trump win, Why hate Trump? We supporters created the win for Trump. You indirectly hate We The People and the our voting right in an election.
I think you are stupid, and failed to see beyond this con man's words.

There. I said it. Have a nice day.

I've had a few Trump supporters take snide swipes via the rep feature. Even one, who pretended he was someone else.

I look at it this way, if they want to give you rep points for something they could do in a thread post, have at it!

If you need to say how "blessed" you are, you probably aren't!
