Trump is an excellent President
Americans have a short memory. Just a few months ago, the US consulates and embassies were flying Trans flags. Just a few months ago, million of illegal alien criminals (by definition 100% of illegals are criminals due to illegally crossing) were pouring into the country, inflation was at records. Just 2 years ago according to some estimates inflation was in the double digits. Just recently, companies were publicly (and proudly) discriminating against whites, asians and males.
Now it’s all over. The Dem-LGBTQxyz civilization-destroying concert is over. At least for now.
Yes, I’ll agree with your criticisms: the tariffs are stupid.
Trump has authoritarian tendencies and would love to go for a 3rd term. (he wont be able to because US democratic institutions/division of power are too powerful)
Trump is interfering too much in commerce.
Trump is increasing the power of government by too much.
Trump has threatened and upended some of our relations with some of our strongest allies.
Trump has allowed far-leftist parties to gain a foothold worldwide by doing things like threatening to annex Canada.
Trump has made ridiculous statements.
Trump has used his position to enrich himself, his family and his buddies.
Trump has promoted his staff based on loyalty, not merit, and has many yes-men in his cabinet.
I know.
But that doesn’t matter (that much).
The founding fathers were some of the most enlightened human beings that ever lived, and they created a system that has existed for 250 years, and will still exist 250 years in the future.
Trump will eventually leave office, and the American democracy will continue its existence.
More importantly, Trump stopped the Democrats from gaining power for a consecutive term. When Trump says that Civilization would have collapsed - it is undeniably hyperbole; but he’s not far from the truth. Look at Paris. Look at areas of London. These places look like a bazaar in Timbuktu or Somalia more than France or England. By bringing millions of illegals to sustain their future voters, democrats were using the same well-known strategy.
President Trump recently said that the government collapse was like a “Kamikaze attack”, and he’s right on some level. The democrats are basically willing to do whatever it takes - including destroying American values, institutions, etc in order to achieve their goals, many of which are extremely radical. The more shocking thing is that they forced a Communist Russia-like public discourse where anybody disputing that bringing illegals is bad or that legalizing double mastectomies before the age of 18 for transpersons might not be a great idea would get “cancelled” and many times fired from their jobs.
Literally the last time I was happy was in 2019. 2020-2024 was somewhat of a blur in what should’ve been the “best years of my life” Many of my classmates from my year transitioned (and many then detransitioned) during this time period. Many tried to commit suicide. Things in my life have gotten better independently of politics. However, Trump has actually played a nonminor role in improving my outlook on life and the future.
Thank you, Mr. President.
What are you gonna spend you AIPAC check on?
LGBTQ+ flags, and they were taken down after the 2024 shutdown threats from Republicans. That's verifiably false on your end.
Just willfully false. In 2021, Biden signed multiple bills and actions aimed at removing central and south American migrants. In 2022, this was heavily expedited, aimed at deporting Venezuelans back to Colombia. Biden also enacted Title 42 at this exact same time, which was known as the "remain in Mexico" policy. Despite a temporary block on this measure, it was reinstated fully in 2022, and during this year Biden deported more people than any year Trump was in office, and the most since 2010. Biden also enacted multiple EOs aimed at preventing illegal asylum seeking, similar to Trump era policies. Biden also rolled back many Trump era policies that actually increased immigration, such as cancelling all ACAs. Biden also enacted the largest technological transformation of the border in history, and we have more infrared scanners now than ever before. This means border enforcement can see people trying to cross the border at night and even through tunnels.
The idea that Biden was somehow weak on the border is a lie propagated by people that don't pay any attention to the policy decisions of those in government. Biden cannot help it if multiple South American nations all simultaneously collapse post covid. Biden also cannot help if the Cuban adjustment act is still in place and Cuba's government just so happened to fall into massive chaos in the wake of the tourism slump after Covid along with inflation that followed.
Here's a full video detailing his immigration policy from the NYT. It's well researched and well done.
Also, your point on the app thing is just willfully wrong. You don't just get to "wander into the country", you have to schedule an appointment at an official port of entry via the app. The app also is not an entry method. It is purely a method to secure an appointment to meet and apply for asylum, which is still a strict process. Attacking the app directly contradicts your own point about attempting to create better pathways into the country, as the app(CBP one) was solely there to facilitate new methods of applying for asylum, not for just being let into the country.
And for what it's worth, "a few months ago" immigration hit its low point in 2024. Again, verifiably false
And you think Biden has an inflation button? Everywhere in the world experienced the same inflation due to the money spent in the covid environment and the supply shocks. Also, a few months ago, inflation was lower than it is now, because Trump's tariff policy has driven inflation and panic spending up.
I'm sorry, but that doesn't matter? Then wtf does matter? If corruption, economic mismanagement, threats of political violence, authoritarianism, and isolationist policy doesn't matter, then what even does???
Primary issue facing London and Paris voters over the past 5 years has been housing costs. Not immigrants. It's incredible that Fox news has managed to convince you that your pains and sorrows are not caused by the small number of wealthy elite controlling the system to continue propping up their own wealth, but rather Miguel the fruit vendor.
Democrats are asking for literally 2 things: healthcare subsidies and extensions to Obamacare. Republicans demanded far more during threats to shutdown the Obama and Biden administration. Also, Trump has repeatedly threatened to use the FBI to go after political rivals and uses worse rhetoric to speak about Democrats than Democrats speak of him. Pot calling the kettle black here. Both sides use inflammatory language
Blaming Biden for the shitshow that was post covid world is dumb. Everyone looks back on 2019 with niceness. But we're not in 2019. We're in 2025, where Trump continues to make life worse for average Americans every single day.
This is a finance forum, not a politics one, dude.
The big comment cooked you, but man you are so retarded
