His deficit spending and trade tariffs are dismantling neo-liberal financial policy.

He's pushing a disengagement with China which is used as a cheap labor supply to artifically increase capital gains and price out smaller businesses:

His foriegn policy has hurt US power in the middle east which is a great thing for people like me who want to end US imperialism.

Actually the criticism from democrats on Trump's Iran policy come from right-wing talking points that Trump is strategically damaging the United States (which is a good thing and hurts corporate power domestically).

His trade policy has promoted democracy for the first time after Bush, Obama, Clinton, and Reagan worked over time to destroy it ^^^^^^^^^.

Yes, supporting global trade over domestic law disregards democratic effectiveness.

He has lowered the corporate tax rate which means the federal government is less reliant on corporate investment for funding, increasing the economic power of small scale consumers/producers. He has cut back ineffective welfare spending.

I'm not a supporter of Trump, I'm well to the left of anyone here, but if it is between Trump and Biden I'll vote Trump or stay at home (probably the latter).

PS. It's surprising that all attacks on Trump from the democrats here have been far right (more Russian aggression, more imperialism, more globalism, etc.)

No. Not too bad. Just an outright disaster.

You crack me up. What's the problem?

I stopped by a few Iraqi-owned businesses this weekend. My wife was concerned for my safety. She had her finger on my car's 911 emergency button.

The Iraqi's were all watching the NFL playoff games drinking Bud Light and telling Iranian jokes. How many Iranians does it take to screw in a light bulb? None. They don't have any power.

All is well in SoCal.

I didn't vote for him and never will, but I can't say that he has hurt me at all. My retirement portfolio has not quite doubled in 3 years. I won't complain about that, I also won't say that it was due to Trump.

I do like that he sent help to an embassy in trouble. Unlike his predecessor he didn't ignore the pleas for help, he responded.

Beating either "Establishment Joe" Biden, or whatever communist the democrats nominate for 2020.

Things are a lot more complicated than that. No president has ever ignored an embassy in peril. Don’t even know where you get that from.

I don’t give brownie points to people for doing their jobs. He sent help? Okay. That’s what he was supposed to do. Next thing you know we’ll be praising him for signing bills into law.

Tell him to get off Twitter. If he does that, that would be his first positive accomplishment.

he hasn't been too bad, hes been really bad. Sorry for the grammatical errors; I'm on a laptop. It's easier to just type. I have to make changes in settings.
