Some if us are indeed concerned about all of the above, and are worried that under Trump, we are moving in precisely the wrong direction in all of these issues.
By way of example, the national debt was less under Obama, and on a better trajectory under Obama's policies. Trump's policies have exacerbated growth in the debt.
I will be nice here - and assume you meant the deficit, and not debt.
Because the debt almost doubled under Obama.
I don't totally trust the debt numbers, because when Trump got started, the debt was actually decreasing - then it basically froze for months until the spending bill was signed.
I'm guessing that most people know that Trump's brother succumbed to alcoholism, leaving Trump a devout teetotaler. He's avoided the usual addictions. But ... Twitter?
For Whom the Trump Trolls
By Maureen Dowd
And yet, in a strange twist, Trump has ended up an addict.
[Jaron] Lanier, who met Trump a couple of times back in the real estate developer’s New York heyday, thinks the president’s addiction to tweeting is rewiring his brain in a negative way.,, Like other “behavior modification empires,” as Lanier calls social media sites, Twitter offers positive reinforcement for negativity.
"Twitter addicts take on this kind of nervous, paranoid, cranky quality, sort of itching for a fight,” Lanier said in an interview.
it's been my belief that trump is addicted to attention. twitter is just one outlet to appease that craving. if i'm right then i'd expect things to get funky for trump once he leaves office. he'll still be craving the level of attention he's currently getting ( much like an addict or an alcoholic building up a tolerance and requiring more to get the desired affect ) but without having the same amount of interest from the media/public.
We see that now with Obama. the man could not leave a 6 sentence paragraph without a dozen references to himself.
Being addicted to nicotine, and a class 1 narcissist, Obama could not restrain himself from breaking tradition and speaking out against a sitting president. That wasn't enough, he had to reappear on the political scene again to satisfy his need for attention.
Sad that no one is interested in more hope and change from a president who still lives in yesterday.
and the alternative wasn't a pawn to her addiction for money and power?
This is not some kind of joke, as the far right seems to think. There are real 25th Amendment implications here. Again, this is all based on science. As usual, the far right DENIES the scientific facts.
