Perhaps it's just me, but I feel as though racial tensions are at an all-time high. And, Trump has not done enough to castigate the white is right crowd. Those morons are part of his base and he knows it. That's why he flip-flopped in his comments criticizing those who were present at the Charlottesville protests. Trump brings that upon himself, and I have no sympathy for stupidity and lack of insight. Take his criticism of Nascar for the removal and ban on the Confederate flag. It's not his place, but he says these things to curry favour with that class of neanderthal voters. There's no class or leadership there, a great leader forms coalitions, demonstrates strength through empathy and compassion, and builds bridges in the face of adversity. Trump is shallow, petty, and fails at every level of leadership.
People are too quick to forget how much Obama did for the U.S. He took that country at the worst time since the great depression and turned things around. His presidency was challenging from the very beginning, but he had to settle and withdraw from a war he did not start.
Why not compare Obama's presidency at the end of 2015 to Trump at the end of 2019?
At the end of Obama's second term he had created 11.8 million jobs.
At the end of 2019, employment had increased by 5 million.
Unemployment under Obama decreased by 4.7%, Trump, by 3.8%.
To expand on that,
The unemployment rate at the beginning of Obama's first term, when the financial crisis was at its worst, was 7.8, and it peaked at 10% in Oct 09, before ending at 4.7%. His presidency coincided with the second largest decrease in unemployment in history. Second only to Kennedy/LBJ.
There was an increase of 105% new jobs under Obama, but only 26% under Trump.
Corporate profits rose 55% under Obama, only 12% under Trump (recall the Trade war, more on that later..)
GDP under Trump only grew by 1.6% in 2016, 2.2% in 2017, and in 2018 he managed to get it back to where is was when Obama left office.
The number of people without health insurance decreased by 15 million under Obama, it is increased by 1 million under Trump.
About that trade war, and tax cuts, b/c he's so good at sticking it to other countries, right?
The greatest tax cut benefits will be to corporate profits, investment income, estate taxes, and financial service companies. These are most advantageous to the wealthy.
Trump's trade negotiations cost consumers and U.S. companies more than 40B, and reduced economic growth by nearly 0.5%. Farmers required 28B in federal bailout money.
Who really pays for the import tariffs? U.S. consumers. There was a total of $250B in tariffs imposed by Trump, but this has barely impacted imports b/c it's still far more expensive to produce those goods domestically, so U.S. consumers have to suck it up and pay more.
Remarkable job you fat orange-faced fuck.
It seems fair for me to assume you do not actually take time and watch trumps speeches, round table meetings, rallies, etc. For yourself. Your version of what he does sounds very much like the version the left media pushes. But whatever, you are not the only one falling for it. Hopefully more people will wake up and see what the media is up to before its too late.
And for division and hate and the race war, again the media is responsible. Not Trump. If its Trumps fault for USA, then why not go after Justin here? Its the left that are taking to the media to make people fight. Takes the heat off them.
