increasing numbers of individuals lack the skills necessary to perform today’s jobs. Rising incarceration rates have left growing numbers of Americans with criminal records.

"Simply relying on the unemployment rate as an indicator of the health of the job market masks underlying problems, many of which have persisted for decades."

Personally I think it takes courage to endure the hatred directed to mr trump including many assassination and sexual violence threats against him and his family
When I see videos on Facebook of teachers being beaten up in class while 20 cowards laugh and take videos
I wonder about the people hating on trump

He's too busy giving the world to China on a silver platter. Who do you think the Europeans and Canada are going to move closer to as the US leaves a void?

That may be a winning strategy when you're shopping for contractors to decorate your Atlantic City casinos, but you can't just walk somewhere else and get a better deal on Canadian trade. Canada kinda holds a monopoly on that.

Pause open your eyes and your hearts and just listen. He is winning.

....and it is truly exciting.
Alienating your allies is not winning. He is out of his league. He looked like petulant child among the other leaders.

Again, if I were an American, I would be embarrassed, and ashamed.

That's the way the world is.
You really think so???

That would seem to cast quite a shadow over the massive majority of Americans who claim they believe in Heaven....and it also reflects on our religions otherwise and on our educational system.

I would say that SOME people would rob a bank if they could get away with it.

Interesting topic. I wonder if experiments have been done with "losing wallets" and seeing how many keep the loot.

Well, it looks like you are 1/2 right - studies show from a 40 to a 60% return rate for lost goods of value - in the USA.

One thing that skews it is that many people lose stuff in situations where very low wage workers are present - example, we left an iphone in a rental car years ago. No go.....

To do a real study we'd have to work it out by class...but I have a feeling it's about 1/2 that would rob the bank. I wouldn't. No need to. I'm not Warren Buffett but 100K isn't going to change anything I do.

This thread shows how much Trump supporters don't care about our country.

Uh, maybe we want him to do what he says - he clearly said he is for universal health care and now has already cut off many suffering people at the knees. Balance the budget? Nope - even though we are in a position to do so, he decided to call himself the King of Debt.

It's nothing to do with bullying - but if it was, Trump is obviously the Big Bully in the room. Never have we had a POTUS anywhere near as course and lowly. Never. Not even close.

You can't have respect for puzzy grabbers and con men. Sorry. Even with that, though, if he truly provided Universal Health Care and some of his other lies I'd support him on those issues.

Good lord. How in the hell does a comment like this help anything?

Do Trump and his lemming supporters think this makes us "look strong?" By insulting our neighboring ally?
