The 2018 Trump Presidency thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
i earn $4M a year so i'll do great. how about you?

Good grief!! did you hear those nonentities sucking up to @realDonaldTrump? I guess they get points and avoid the Twitter attacks. What a repulsive display of unctuousness; oily, slimy, oleaginous and fraudulent...Not sure about yours, but my taxes just went up 3%.

I thought these tax cuts only benefited the rich? Shouldn't she be thanking Trump?

Some rich people think about more than themselves and their own back pockets.

Yep - it's true; some people care about their community, their country, their world and the people around them, regardless of how rich (or poor) they are.

I suspect the little support trump as will be further eroded by this attack on legal cannabis states.
Trump swept to power on reactionary "identity politics", and now he's made a move against some of the few people he's not explicitly attacked (namely white men who smoke weed, and people who genuinely believe in state's rights).

What a mess. Political suicide, but - well, good.
 
People making $20K a year will save approx $1K. That is substantial to this demographic.
Last person to enact huge tax cuts in his first term was Reagan and that went very well for him.
Is it good that the poorest people are paying less to the government? I think so, and many will change their tune regarding the President.
 
Indeed.
if he wasn't a billionaire he'd probably be a convicted sex offender right now. As opposed to an alleged sex offender.
 
why do you think its ok for the postus to act like any other asshole living in the country? Its not. Even most professional jobs trump would be fired from within minutes for the way he acts.

The boss makes the rules. You don't fire the boss. And like I stated, Trump predicted this decades ago. If it was up to him NK would not have ever acquired nuclear weapons in the first place. What kind of incompetence allows this to happen?

Billionaire (and close Clinton pal) Jeffrey Epstein was convicted for child sex offences. So why not Trump? Where's the evidence?
 
Oh I know. The police had Weinstein on tape admitting to actual sexual assault and nothing happened. He even hired ex-Mossad agents to follow and harass victims into silence. The Weinstein story was ready to go years ago yet major news outlets refused to run it. And I dare say the truth would have continued to get covered up if his close pal Clinton won the election. Notice how there are a ton of high-profile people actually going down for sex crimes? It's because the evidence is overwhelming and undeniable.

Your claim is nonsensical though. The mainstream media obsessively tried to dig up any dirt they could find on Trump during the election to prevent him from winning. The worst they could find was him on tape bragging that beautiful women consensually allow him to grab their pussies. If he was a legitimate serial rapist/sexual assaulter then we would be seeing a massive line of victims ala Weinstein.

Sometimes people make false accusations as political attacks. NYT: Clinton supporters donated $700K to help Trump accusers. All that money wasted. Unfortunately for you Trump had beautiful models falling out of his pockets. He did not need to sexually abuse anyone.

maybe it wasn't rape like weinstien....but again you accused the savage intellectually stunted behavior of someone who is supposed to be in a position that requires intelligence, tact, etc.

trump could take out his little dick on live tv and press it onto the camera lens and you would excuse it since he bashes and attacks minorities...its the only quality that people like him for. he really knows how to get his base hooked on himself I'll give him that.
 
You're acting as if he made those comments publicly while he was President. They were made privately before he got into politics when he was a famous businessman/celebrity. The point being that it was the worst dirt they could find and it did not describe assault.

The presidency requires conscience over intelligence. We've seen far too many intelligent psychopaths who played the part of appearing "presidential" while acting in ways that did not benefit the average American. Would you prefer someone that did positive things, or that simply tells you things that sound nice?

In what society is grabbing women by the pussy simply because you can, and not because there is consent involved, NOT assault? You say it is consensual- how? Did he mention that he requires consent before he starts grabbing? :|

Sure, he didn't explicitly say he had assaulted anybody, but he certainly alluded to the fact he thinks its acceptable behaviour. I feel kinda sickened by the people who keep trying to excuse this.
 
I'm surprised that people are still making a big deal out of this. He won the election convincingly after this tape came out which should tell us that a significant amount of people saw it for what it was.

This may seem like an alien concept to some, but there is a certain subset of women that enjoy being grabbed there. Most of our communication is unspoken and men who have had ample experience with women can easily identify signals. These types of women are also incredibly attracted to charismatic celebrity billionaires.

Yes he explicitly stated "they LET you" which implies consent. See above (and note the lack of credible accusations)

I'm also upset that I'm not surrounded by these women, but hey life isn't fair.
 
By the way in case you missed it the economy is doing exceptionally well:

-DOW Jones over 25,000 first time in history.
-December '17 -250,000 new jobs created (ADP)
-"Job-cut announcements in 2017 see its lowest level since 1990" (Challenger report)
-"Manufacturing in the US just accelerated to its best year since 2004"
-Unemployment at 17-year low
-Before the 250K, 1.7million jobs created under Trump.
-African-American unemployment at 17-year low
-Food stamp use at 7-year low
-Home prices up 6%
-16 regulations cut for every new one created
-2 quarters of GDP with over 3% growth

Giving Obama credit for all of this is disingenuous.

Under Obama:
-Lowest labor participation rate since the 1970s
-Almost 95 million Americans out of the labor force
-Worst recovery since 1940s
-Lowest home ownership rate in 51 years
-Almost 13 million more Americans on food stamps
-Over 43 million living in poverty

We've seen a remarkable turnaround over the past year. And that's all before the historic $1.5 trillion tax cut has had a chance to take effect.

Some creative writing there. At no point did Trump mention anything about receiving "signals" from women "attracted" to billionaires. In essence, he said that he simply did it. He did not once ever mention consent. Assuming consent is not the same thing as actual consent.

Yes he explicitly stated "they LET you" which implies consent.

No, it doesn't, anymore than saying "she was asking for it" implies that she was indeed asking for it. It implies that he believes he has the power to grab women whenever he wants, and that is a fucking disgusting trait to have in a president.

It is Trump saying they let him, not the women. Do you believe his version of things? He is a proven, notorious liar. Why would you believe him?

I'm surprised that people are still making a big deal out of this.

And you are still hammering on about Clinton. Let it go man, the Clintons already lost. Nobody else is especially interested in these people anymore.

This thread is incredibly off-topic. I will try and split some of this tired shit into the Trump thread where it belongs.
 
I have merged the latest repetitions of the YAY Trump stuff courtesy of Liquid Method into the relevant topic.

I'll admit, the merge may not have been the neatest :D :o

Again you don't seem to grasp the concept of social status. Some women enjoy this type of (disgusting to some) behavior. Are you going to moralize and tell some women what they can and can't do with their bodies?


Do you believe his version of things? He is a proven, notorious liar. Why would you believe him?
Where's the Weinstein-sized list of victims coming forth??? There are more than enough people out there with a seething desire to see Trump go down. If the victims exist then they would be found. And I've personally witnessed how some women act around high-status men. It's nothing out of the ordinary, it just seems shocking that the person speaking so candidly on the audio is now the President.

And you are still hammering on about Clinton. Let it go man, the Clintons already lost. Nobody else is especially interested in these people anymore.
Losing an election doesn't absolve one from crimes committed. Going after Clinton is a matter of justice (a lot of developments there, might have to restart the Clinton thread).
