Trump's Final 100 days

All the lies he has told and this is the one you choose to complain about?

Quote: 777What’s the Matter With Republicans?
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/opinion/whats-the-matter-with-republicans.html?ribbon-ad-idx=5&rref=opinion&module=Ribbon&version=context®ion=Header&action=click&contentCollection=Opinion&pgtype=article
Below is Paul Krugman's quick comparison between the two political parties:
The Democratic Party is a coalition of interest groups, with some shared views but also a lot of conflicts, and politicians get ahead through their success in striking compromises and finding acceptable solutions.
The G.O.P., by contrast, is one branch of a monolithic structure, movement conservatism, with a rigid ideology — tax cuts for the rich above all else. Other branches of the structure include a captive media that parrots the party line every step of the way. Compare the coverage of recent political developments on Fox News with almost everywhere else; we’re talking North Korea levels of alternative reality.
And this monolithic structure — lavishly supported by a small number of very, very wealthy families — rewards, indeed insists on, absolute fealty. Furthermore, the structure has been in place for a long time: It has been 36 years since Reagan was elected, 22 years since the Gingrich takeover of Congress. What this means is that nearly all Republicans in today’s Congress are apparatchiks, political creatures with no higher principle beyond party loyalty.
From their perspective, there's nothing wrong with Republicans. They destroy the Dems at every level again and again, experiencing only the occasional, temporary push back when they go to far.
The question should be, if Republicans are so bad (which they are), what is so wrong with Dems that they keep losing to them?
Much of the answer can be found in Krugman. This article is a good example. We all fail. Winners look in the mirror. Losers point fingers, like Krugman is here. The Democratic argument has consisted almost entirely of finger pointing for years. They offer voters absolutely nothing, except, "we might, arguably, screw you slightly less," and outlawing large sodas. As a result, they are perceived as weak, amoral whiners.
And they can't even finger point about the worst stuff Republicans do, because they are on board with it. So they wind up with this, weird nonsense that nobody outside of the alternative reality of beltway wonk-tards gives a crap about.
Wow, Trump doesn't want to restart the cold war for no reason, as Dems seem to, That will really speak to voters.
Yes, Trump may have screwed himself here, because he is a clown. But, Dems won't capitalize on it long term, because they refuse to ask, "what's the matter with US?"
I guess it's working out fine for them too. Plenty of speaking fees. Retreats to Aspen. Jobs on Wall Street for their unqualified kids. etc. Why give that up just to win a few elections?

Hah, neither did Obama! Neither Michelle or Melania wore the customary head scarf when they traveled to Saudi Arabia, despite Trump's criticism of Michele for that decision. Clearly they both must be men.

You're right. President Trump is the first president (or politician, for that matter) to ever do or say anything hypocritical and Hillary Clinton is just a sweet innocent angel.
Why can't we just get Trump rehab, therapy and an education, before giving up. He was onto some good ideas, just needs to focus and start screwing over people that screw the American people, making the world a better place. I'm afraid he's getting royalties on every screwing.Quote: OnceDearLook guys. I'm sick of trump. May he rot in hell.
His first 100 days are history, so I assert that it is counter productive to add comments to a thread about his first 100 days.
In an uncharacteristically optimistic mood, I invite discussion of his Final 100 days, which has hopefully now begun.
My champagne is in the fridge awaiting his resignation, impeachment, or untimely demise. I may crack the bottle open early if nukes start flying, but sure as hell will have another one ready if I survive the first volley of trump induced missile launches and I hear of one splitting its warheads twixt the Whitehouse and Mar a Lago.
I may offer side bets on whether I started the countdown too soon. In truth, I think that the wheels of justice will plod along at glacial pace, but that they will be as unstoppable as global warming.
Let this thread celebrate every step back towards sanity and democracy even if we are forced to accept that we will pass through a pretty dreadful Pence term on that route.*
*Who apart from Trump would want that w@nk3r Pence as VP or Potus? Surely not even the most conservative Republican. But, What the heck. Nothing trumps trump.
Oh. And as a side topic: Would it be preferable to have an ousted trump claiming some glory if that was the price to pay for having him out of power? Even Adolf still has a fan club.

You're right. President Trump is the first president (or politician, for that matter) to ever do or say anything hypocritical and Hillary Clinton is just a sweet innocent angel.
What I keep pointing out is not that other politicians are not hypocrites, or don't lie, or don't break promises, or can't be trusted, but rather that Trump is taking it all to a whole new level. Trump wants to be #1 - I think he's making a run at it in those categories.
Where it comes from.
Fareed Zakaria warns liberals to avoid DTS
A Few Examples: Play all three together.
But it's also important to know why, if you're taking that stance, you do. Can't be a mindless hater, just like you can't be a mindless supporter, with any credibility. I haven't seen him do one damned thing that I can honestly say, "good move" or "that needed to happen", and I've been watching.
Maybe some of you have seen things you think are better for the COUNTRY. So be it. But I would think a good many Trump supporters would be disappointed in what's actually been done so far and how much it's hurt those who are not rich or corporations. And if he has hurt your pocketbook or life, I hope you hold him accountable, because he's not governing for the rest of us, he's trying to hold his base voters together.

Since the election, illegal border crossings are down to a trickle, deportations of criminal illegals is speeding up, Mexico and Canada have agreed to renegotiate NAFTA, Toyota announced it will invest $10 billion in the US, Jack Ma has pledged to create 1 million US jobs by allowing small and medium US business to sell to China through Ali Baba's platforms, Japan's SoftBank has pledged $50 billion in US investment, Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt has pledged to invest $2 billion in the US 'due to confidence in Trump', the Saudis just committed to a $350 deal with the US, China has agreed to help US cattle farmers and purchase $2.5 billion in beef. For the first time ever, China has agreed to purchase tons of LNG from the US, the stock market has gained $2 trillion in wealth, for the first time ever, the 10,000 member MS-13 gang is being decimated, and for the first time since Truman, as US President has put North Korea on notice and not backed down.
After meeting with Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping referring to Trump warned Kim Jong-un, "He's not bluffing". Do you think he would have said that about Obama or Clinton?
Then he proceeded to back it up by suspending coal shipments from North Korea, and for the first time ever, China abstained from voting against a US position, by abstaining in the UN vote to condemn the US raids on the Syrian airfield after Assad attacked his own people with sarin gas.
Do you think Hillary could have achieved any of that?
A very good start.
Quote: Tanko
A very good start.
I think Trump is willing to negotiate big business deals with any and all problematic geopolitical actors.. Saudis, China. Turkey's new President, Russia would certainly be in there already.
Think this won't be a bigger problem down the road? Think he'll get any real concessions while doing this from all these anti-democratic areas except empty promises? He's definitely going to be worse than Obama in that respect.
BTW, the big roundup of MS-13 was two years in the making. But then Trump claiming credit for stuff already initiated in advance is a given.
N. Korea hasn't stopped missile tests. How is that different?
Quote: TankoSince the election, illegal border crossings are down to a trickle, deportations of criminal illegals is speeding up
I can give you that and tell you that you will eventually find out is wasn't a good idea.
Quote: TankoMexico and Canada have agreed to renegotiate NAFTA
Just renegotiating doesn't mean much. We can discuss once it is redone. I am going to bet it ends up a worse deal, but we'll see.
Quote: TankoToyota announced it will invest $10 billion in the US
From Reuter's "Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T) will invest $10 billion in the United States over the next five years, the same as in the previous five years, North America Chief Executive Jim Lentz said on Monday, to meet demand and upgrade plants to build more fuel-efficient models."
Same as previous 5 years. Nothing to see here.
Quote: TankoJack Ma has pledged to create 1 million US jobs by allowing small and medium US business to sell to China through Ali Baba's platforms
This is nothing new also. Ali Baba has been expanding this platform since 2014. Last year the US was the no. 2 branded product on that platform. From Forbes "In its just-released annual report, Tmall Global, the cross-border arm of Alibaba’s giant B2C site Tmall, disclosed that the number of international brands selling to Chinese consumers through its platform soared 169 percent last year to 14,500, up from 5,400 at the end of 2015. More than 80% of those international brands, which include well-known names such as Macy’s and Target, did not have any presence in China prior to their launch on Tmall Global."
Quote: TankoJapan's SoftBank has pledged $50 billion in US investment
This coming out of the Softbank Vision fund that announced $100 billion in investments........a month prior to the US elections and at a time when Trump was expected to lose. Nothing special here.
Quote: TankoAustralian billionaire Anthony Pratt has pledged to invest $2 billion in the US 'due to confidence in Trump
From Pratt Industries website..."“We currently operate 68 factories and employ 7000 people and we want to continue to grow those numbers,” said Anthony. “Just here in the Midwest alone we’ve invested almost $500 million dollars since the beginning of 2015.”
Again, nothing new here. Pratt has been making this type of investment here in the US for the past 20 years.
Quote: Tankothe Saudis just committed to a $350 deal with the US
Unclear as to how much of an increase, if any, this represents but we'll give it to you.
Quote: TankoChina has agreed to help US cattle farmers and purchase $2.5 billion in beef
This is a win, however it is more than offset by a $5 billion sales loss of beef from pulling out of the TPP. Net loss here.
Quote: TankoFor the first time ever, China has agreed to purchase tons of LNG from the US
This is a win.
Quote: Tankothe stock market has gained $2 trillion in wealth
True for now. Make sure that you come back and lay claim to the losses when they come. It shouldn't be much longer.
Quote: Tankofor the first time ever, the 10,000 member MS-13 gang is being decimated
I would need evidence on this. MS-13 is a very small part of the gang problem in the US and other than the recent raids, there is really no proof that they are anywhere near "decimated".
Quote: Tankoand for the first time since Truman, as US President has put North Korea on notice and not backed down.
After meeting with Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping referring to Trump warned Kim Jong-un, "He's not bluffing". Do you think he would have said that about Obama or Clinton?

MS13 was born and bred in California and it was our deporting them to El Salvador that broke the criminal justice system there in the first place.

Both sides are hypocritical, which is why I bring it up.
It's also funny people (ams288 and probably 777) saying stuff about it should be country before party......yet they thrive and wish for a Trump failure.
I remember when Obama was elected (both times), people on the right thought he was going to be a failure (and in many aspects, was)....but I don't remember hatred toward him and wanting him to fail. Although I'm sure there were people wanting him to fail, it wasn't anywhere near how bad it is now.
Seems like liberals' new hot word is gullible. So now instead of just calling us racist, they call us gullible, in an attempt to end a discussion.....and coincidentally, seen as childish.
Been doing a little reading on gullibility and related lack of self-esteem. Interesting and I do believe is part of the Gullibles' profile.
Sheep is all they are.
You may think that some are wishing for a Trump failure, but the fact is that they view the probability of a Trump failure as high and would wish to avoid it.

Saying we "thrive on" Trump failure seems like an admission that he is failing, HARD. Cause I sure am thriving!
There's no need for me to wish for him to fail, he'll accomplish that on his own. He is an awful human being. I want him to suffer and be unhappy. And 120ish days in, seems like my wishes are coming true.

"Because he is a lot of deregulation. This is great. The US will be great again."

Kushner a distant 2nd.
"The U.S. oil industry is enjoying asurge in production, which has shot up 86 percent since 2008. Unshackled by Congress and enabled by the most oil-friendly president in decades, the industry aims to transform the American landscape with tens of billions of dollars in new pipelines, storage depots, and export terminals.
That includes the Dakota Access pipeline, scene of the yearlong protests at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, which was slated to begin transporting oil on Sunday."
My initial thought after reading this is that Trump and the Lilliputians will look to slow down production for his new Saudi friends. You know, since they gave him a bright new shinny thing......
On a separate note, McMaster has lost some respect. Such a shame that he is dragged down into the muck.
Lastly, Biden thinking about running in 2020? I kinda like the guy, but the last thing we need is another old man who is going to be subject to losing his mind.
