Title says it all. One year in and this shit show has no signs of slowing down. I would love for someone to actually explain one good thing this administration has done. (Besides cancel the penny).
I mean, I’m flabbergasted that anyone with half a brain cell still thinks this conman shit bag is actually good for our country, and therefore the world. Asinine garbage.
No more wars? Good one!
Roaring economy? Huge miss on jobs reports
Lower prices? Affordability is actually a hoax and oil is $110 a barrel
Investing in America first? Nope, $1B spent everyday dropping bombs on schools in Iran
Epstein Files release? Lmao Trump is in them and no one has gone to jail
Deporting criminal immigrants? Americans getting shot in the face and deporting without due process (against the constitution)
We did it! We owned the libs!
Feb 28: Trump is No Longer expected to address the nation…..
I wouldn't even mind a Republican being President. Both established political parties are completely insane, especially when it comes to their Foreign Policy. Both parties' establishments are influenced by economic interests. I do not believe that the way they organize their healthcare system can rationally be justified, for example. It's just culture War shit 24/7, making people forget about their real material conditions.
My main problem with Trump though is that he's not even pushing for US interests most of the time. He just wants to bully people and feel strong. This type of behaviour only works with a certain kind of person. He is mainly supported by complete morons, though there also are just generally politically illiterate people who just like the vibe of MAGA. I guess it's not that serious for them, it's just like supporting their favourite football team. Among them are many "Christians" as well, some isolationists, anti-globalists. Also, some insecure men need to prove their own masculinity to themselves so they vote for whatever they perceive to be more stereotypically masculine? Many people on this board support or supported him just because they're bitter about not getting a job, thinking that it's because the seat they think they deserve was "stolen" by a woman or whatever. His entire base is a complete mess, full of corrupt and mentally ill losers.
Well as a previous Trump voter, I would say if you still support him in today's day and age - I agree with the last sentence. I've been very upset with his second presidency so far and might stop voting all together. I still identify as a Republican because of local politics, I much prefer them to the progressives that locals try to push. Granted, most of the Republicans in my area are center-right Republicans and not MAGA retards.
In his first presidency he was surrounded by competent people who contained him. And admittedly, Democrats had to be taught that people seriously do not give a shit about the percentage of whatever race of people is where. Their "inclusivity" nonsense without actually doing anything to change material conditions for people was absolutely disgusting, and their useless demonization/tolerance of the demonization of whites, christians, heterosexuals, and men generally was unacceptable. Just virtue signalling bullshit. I saw Trump as a consequence of all of that. He was and continues to be the personification of an angry counter-culture. However, after the insane shit he did after losing the 2020 election I just don't understand how an American could tolerate this guy? Now he's surrounded by sycophantic opportunists and he's increasingly more demented and unhinged, doing all sorts of nonsense that just damages the US.
I'm not an American, but I'm a second generation immigrant in Europe. I'm fairly educated and was heavily culturally influenced by the US. I never felt like I belonged to Europe because Europe is very ethnocentric in its thinking. The US, or at least parts of it, thought of itself as a country of immigrants. I understand that the concept of race is, unfortunately, a pretty big thing in the US but it still also claimed to be a country where anybody could make it if they work hard enough. I had always thought of myself as an American in spirit, and I really wanted to get US citizenship and work there some day. In fact, there are some Americans who are attending at my University and I always urge them to see past Trump and to look at all the great things your country has build and has done. Think of Hollywood, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, or the Moon Landing. I strongly admired American culture and their appreciation of freedom. However, as an outsider, I simply don't recognize the country anymore. I don't understand how a bunch of peasant morons can have such a strong command over US policy. The country I used to love doesn't exist anymore and I'm very saddened to experience its current state...
Because of Trump my phd got killed and I dident move to Cali.
:(
Because I did not move I found an amazing girl (wife material)
:)
Thanks Trump!
Trump's tariffs are a disaster, complete clown.
The good thing the admin has done: radicalize gen Z beyond belief.
We voted for Trump for all the things you listed above and have gotten jack shit to show for it. If Kamala had won, the GOP would be doing what they do best- sitting in the cuck chair, helplessly bleating out things like "imagine if the roles were reversed!!!1!" and going on Fox News to talk a big game and say based things and make us think they'll do something if we just vote for them.
But instead they got power, and haven't done a damn thing that we've wanted. And they don't have anything to complain about because they actually have the power. That is radicalizing- the GOP is completely and utterly useless.
Most especially on deportations. As you noted, we get unimpressive lower-than-Obama numbers. We can't even deport the people who entered under Biden without scores of judges getting their panties in a twist. Our country is open to anyone who wants to come here, claim "asylum" after they ruin their own country, hop on our benefits gravy train, and losers will give their lives to keep them from getting detained.
Yes- Trump is losing support from Gen Z. It's not because he is too radical like so many of you like to think- it is because he is not radical enough.
I look forward to hearing from our resident Clement Dio's about how "these illegals have every right to be here, they will assimilate, please god just send us more foreigners"
Maybe, if deportations had been done in an orderly fashion, quietly, and in conjunction with a path to citizenship for the many hardworking illegals in key industries (farming, meatpacking, manufacturing), we would have higher-than-Obama numbers.
Part of the difficulty is due to protestors no doubt, but the retarded deportation PR campaigns, Nazi-aesthetic-adopting leadership, and hiring of literally the lowest common denominator, bordering on subhuman agents is what has led to such backlash. And that is all squarely to blame on Trump and his key advisers.
Of course, aside from all that retardation, it is true they are just violating civil liberties, and if you think judges shouldn't stop that when given the opportunity, you are exactly the type of mongoloid who might be eligible for the 50k ICE signing bonus.
"in conjunction with a path to citizenship"
Explain to me why the person who stayed in Mexico, applied for citizenship, and is 10 years deep in the process and is still waiting for their papers should be deprioritized vs the person who snuck over and broke our laws. There already is a path to citizenship, and those who came illegally decided not to take it.
"Nazi-aesthetic-adopting leadership, ... bordering on subhuman agents ... exactly the type of mongoloid"
Subhuman- like an Untermensch? Irony so thicc, call it a latina.
But here is the shift- for decades the right sees language like this and thinks the move is to call the left "da REAL nazis" and hope that they change. The right is starting to wake up to the fact that we're going to be called names no matter what and that we don't give a shit anymore. We will prioritize Americans and everyone else can GFY.
still better than Kamala
She was also a terrible candidate. She would've done bad, but not nearly as bad as trump did. he had us all fooled including me
🤡🤡
Think its a bit more nuanced. Most democrats agree she was a terrible candidate - running a black woman from California vs a convinced felon who happened to also be a PDF and surrounded himself with Project '25 Authors was not a good idea. There was no way she would have ever won given her background + lack of genuineness, lack of distancing of being aware of Biden's decline and her stance on Israel.
Would she have done "Bad"? Probably not, things would have been status quo moderate politics. Would I be happy with this? Probably not. She would be polling terribly but the actual effect would be more muted. Would we have masked ICE agents murdering Americans, no. We probably would have gotten extensions of Medicare, continued funding of federal programs and none of the Trump idiosyncratic conundrums.
I rly dont get how she is the best the democrats could come up with.
Its like they wanted trump to win.
LOL this is exactly how you know MAGAs are retarded. And what’s even sadder is a MAGA in “high finance.” The users on here are supposed to be the cream of the crop I.e. Ivy League graduates, work in top banks/PE funds, and are suppose to safeguard investor capital. And yet when it comes to evaluating a president they are utterly clueless. The problem is that there is no objective measure of how a president is performing. No matter how poorly a president is doing or how bad of policy they pass, MAGA’s will always be able to find a way to blame the democrats or some alternative reason. But unfortunately for these retards, their ability to blame the dems or alternative reasons in order to continue burying their heads in their own echo chambers to avoid cognitive dissonance is running out of steam. Trump has truly proven to be the worst US president the world has ever seen by all objective measurements, even by MAGA’s supposed standards and it’s not even close.
Let’s take a look at what MAGA always complains about regarding the democrats and how Trump has made these issues worse: 1.) MAGA always complains about how democrats want higher taxes and it’s true that the government takes your hard earned money directly through taxes resulting in less purchasing power. Now don’t get me wrong, I hate taxes as much as the next guy, but what in the fuck do you think inflation is? Trump’s tariff war is tax on the consumer via inflation. Trump’s war in Iran is a tax on you via inflation. Trump increasing the deficit and national debt is another tax on you via inflation you fucking morons. I would honestly argue that even if the democrats increased taxes by 25% it would still be cheaper than the amount of inflation this dumbass is creating for the next years and possible decade to come. 2.) MAGA complains that the democrats are bad for the economy and cause high unemployment. Yeah? Well how the fuck do you think businesses and the economy will react with all this uncertainty and volatility? Most of you idiots just work your little finance job, playing around in excel. You never have to think. Businesses need predictability. If you’re a business that imports materials abroad, how do you do business when one day the tariff is 10%, then the next day it’s 25%, and a week later it’s 100%? How do you operate when oil prices spike 40% in a week? If you can’t reasonably predict your costs and the chaos creates uncertainty in the market, so you can’t predict demand, then how can you even do business? You little finance monkeys think you are the smartest in the room with your nice little Harvard degree and yet you lack the most common of common senses. Furthermore, the inflation will keep interest rates elevated or even worse, higher, which will slow the economy and job creation. You know that IB job that you didn’t get or the PE job that just laid you off? Yeah you can thank Trump for that one. And you deserved it. You probably lost the job to someone who didn’t vote for trump. You know how I know? Because you lack critical thinking ability. You know how I know that you lack critical thinking ability? Because you got tricked by trump…three times and you still don’t know it HAHAHA. I wish MAGA’s wore “MAGA” on their forehead. I’d scam the shit out of you. I’d even tell you my scam and it wouldn’t matter. YOU’D STILL FALL FOR IT HAHAHAH. You know they did a study on phone call scam victims and found that 80% of victims are MAGA? Actually I just made that up. But it’s probably true HAHAHA. Man I crack myself up! I could keep going for days. Honestly if we had elected a rock the state of affairs would be better than they are now. And if you can’t decipher the difference between a rock from an absolute retard, you probably shouldn’t be managing anyone’s money. 3.) MAGAs love to complain about preferential treatment via DEI. And yet they vote for a guy who installs his own puppets and nepo hires. Pete Hegseth, a Fox News tv personality, as the secretary of defense. Jared Kushner, a spoiled brat who leeches of off daddy’s money, as a senior adviser and Middle East negotiator. The guy couldn’t place Iran on a map if his life depended on it. Steve Witkoff, a real estate developer, as special envoy to the Middle East. RFK Jr, an environmental attorney and anti-vaxxer, as fucking secretary of HHS. Fun fact: Jared Kushner and Witkoff were asked if they wanted a nuclear physicist present during their negotiations with Iran. Despite admitting that they are not experts in nuclear physics, they refused, essentially because they read a Wikipedia page about nuclear physics and felt that that was enough. There’s reasonable speculation that these two idiots relayed wrong information to Trump, which may have started the war. In the eyes of retard MAGAs, nepotism is only bad when you don’t get the job. But when it potentially starts a war, it’s okay. Idiots. 4.) MAGA loves to complain about the trans issue and hormone treatment and transitioning kids. I also hate this. But I don’t think it’s worse than dropping tomahawks on school girls, giving American military families in the Middle East no warning before waging war with Iran, and potentially sending in more American soldiers to die for a pointless war. And if you think it’s worth it then you are a hypocritical traitor…just like Trump. 5.) As if this point wasn’t already made, but MAGA loves to complain that the democrats are to blame for the war in Ukraine, would start a war with Iran, and how Biden butchered the Afghanistan withdrawal. I’m sorry, can someone explain this one to me? Does starting a war with Iran mean no more wars? Is it Opposite Day? This one is by far the most objective measurement of trumps hypocrisy and failure by MAGAs standard.
And yet despite all of this, MAGA still believe that Kamala would have been worse? Crème of the crop my ass. You little monkey’s just memorize the steps of a DCF. It’s clear when it comes to any type of critical thinking these MAGA finance monkeys are not just incompetent. They are retarded. Trump is objectively the worst president this country has ever had by a wide margin and the fact that MAGA can still convince themselves to vote for him again really proves how retarded MAGA is. But that’s the thing about retards. THEY DONT KNOW THAT THEY ARE RETARDED HAHAHAHA.
(TLDR) But you know what’s the saddest part about being MAGA? It’s that if we rewinded the clock back to November 4th, 2024 and all of MAGA just miraculously dropped dead, the world would actually be a better place today. And we know this objectively now. On November 4, 2024 we could only speculate that the world would be better if all of MAGA died. But now it is a fact. Isn’t that just the saddest thing? Knowing that the entire world would be guaranteed better in every possible way imaginable - politically, economically, peacefully - if you just dropped dead 1.5 years ago. Could you imagine waking up everyday just knowing that the world would be so much better if you just didn’t wake up on 11/04/2024? And the world wouldn’t even shed a tear. The entire world would actually celebrate it and probably establish a new holiday, “MAGA Drop Dead Day.” Wow. Honestly what a pathetic lot of scum
edit Oh I have one more “Tricking MAGAs” joke! Last one I promise! I ran into someone wearing a MAGA hat the other day. I told him I’d sell him $1 for $100. Let’s just say I’m $990 richer HAHAAHA
Holy wailing wall of text, dude.
Not reading all that, but sorry that happened
surprised i dont see the gme dude, isaiah and the token indian dude defending their supreme leader anymore these days.
Trump isn't optimal. But he sure is better than the Democrats discriminating against straight, white, asian people. The radical left went way to far. So yeah, Trump is still a better president when considering all of the crazy woke policies the Dems had.
Can you help me understand which policies specifically were worse than what Trump is currently doing?
I know I live in a very liberal bubble so I'm open to getting a more rounded perspective since it's important to respect and listen to people with drastically differing opinions. While I may not agree with your conclusions, I do think it's important to understand how you got to them.
If you're open to sharing without resorting to name-calling or demeaning language, I'd welcome the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Someone from the "radical left".
I still don't have the slightest clue why moderates preferred this over a center-left Dem.
