Is Trump really that bad?

[FacePunch]

Cunt of all cunts, a coward, a liar and a conman. No redeeming qualities whatsoever as a human. The trolls seem to love his trolling though.

 

[The Diplomat]

He's close to starting nuclear wars through Twitter.com, while openly feuding with journalists, Rosie O'Donnell and anyone who makes a joke around him. He took his promoter/reality star gimmick and won a presidential campaign "cuz he was just tellin' it like it is", all while being under investigation for sexual harassment and defrauding employees/co-workers/contractors/etc.. He's a pathological liar and egomaniac, willing to say the dumbest shit, all while guys like @HereticBD break not only their backs but sense of reality trying to defend the guy.

But no, he's not really that bad.

 

[Phisher]

How so?

Okay. Ignoring the bullshit about all of the Trump criticism being rooted in racism and classism against successful whites.

1. The proposed tax reform will exacerbate inequality not fix it. There will actually be substantial tax increases on the poor and middle class to compensate for the giveaway to the wealthy and corporations ten years after it passes. The only reason that the increases aren't immediate is because they need ten years of deficit neutrality to pass the bill via reconciliation according to Senate rules. It is also designed specifically punish blue states and their residents by eliminating deductions for state and local taxes. Then there's a bunch of other mean-spirited horseshit like taking away the tuition waivers, which will kill graduate students.

2. Scrapping Medicaid isn't going to help Trump's legacy because he specifically promised that he wouldn't touch Medicaid or Medicare during the campaign. He also essentially promised to enact universal healthcare by repeatedly claiming that "everybody would be covered" under his non-existent health plan. I think that everybody with a functioning brain understands that no such thing will happen if and when the congressional Republicans can actually pass an ACA repeal bill.

3. RE Trump not starting any wars. Well, not yet. Dude is fucking belligerent with the rest of the world, and he's doing his best to antagonize every nation that already has an axe to grind with the US. That's, of course, ignoring the fact that he's actually escalated the previous military commitments from the Obama and Bush years by relaxing the rules of engagement after basically campaigning as an isolationist.

4. RE him being a "good President" in general. The dude is on television or Twitter 8 hours a day, hurls childish insults at literally everybody (except for Putin), and can't go a week without visiting one of his properties to play golf. This type of behavior comes after years of bashing Obama for "not working hard enough."


I could go on in greater detail, but there's no point. MAGAs know that the guy is a fucking clown. You're just pretending that he's competent because you know that it triggers all the groups of people that you don't like.

 

[Teppodama]

Doesn't really matter what we think. He's the President and odds are good he'll remain so for at least the next three years regardless of how much the WR hates him and his policies.

Stopped reading at “tax reform will exacerbate inequality”. You really need to look into the distribution of income taxes. The middle class and poor need to pay way more than they pay now. The upper class pays everything.

 

[Bargey]

Economics: win
Trade: win
Jobs: win
War against ISIS: win
Immigration: win
Tax policy: win
Healthcare: loss
Education: Unsure but on the right path



He's doing well on nearly all the core issues that matter. But, but, but....Russia!!!

Your math sux!

 

[hillelslovak87]

Economics: win (Obama's policies made the recovery, and Trump has introduced no real economic policies, save handshake non binding jerkoff agreements)
Trade: win (He has put forth zero binding trade policies whatsoever)
Jobs: win (Obama's policies created the trend of job growth years ago)
War against ISIS: win (ISIS was losing massive amounts of territory to coalition forces well before Trump entered office)
Immigration: win (Would be nice for him to talk about enforcing our existing rules instead of his bumfuck wall)
Tax policy: win (No independent analysis views this as something that will increase growth anywhere near where Trump's lackeys say it will, and will force 1.5 trillion onto the deficit over 10 years, which will force massive cuts to social programs)
Healthcare: loss
Education: Unsure but on the right path (He made Betsy Devos Secretary of Education, nuff fucking said)



He's doing well on nearly all the core issues that matter. But, but, but....Russia!!!

 

[lilelvis]

Jesus, this forum has gone to complete, unobjective, shit.

 

[smellmyfarts]

This I don't get. Why does every US President kiss Israel ass.

Because it's the only place in that part of the world that is not loaded to the gills with fanatical mouth-breathing inbred savages.

Even if it was, they have over 200 nuclear weapons including ICBMs. They're one of the more advanced countries on earth despite the fact that they're completely surrounded by backward people that have contributed virtually nothing to human progress in over 500 years.

That is why every US President kisses Israel's ass.

 

[genecop]

So far...so good...Hillary for prison..

 

[splendica]

He's awesome. Fixing a mess of country left him.

 

[silicavaginitis]

Pussies hate Trump

 

[splendica]

Actually he is fixing the world too. I forgot to mention that.

 

[Pinyin]

Media sensationalism.
They need a ratings boost to sell more advertising. Mr. Trump is the key to that.

He's been a very good president thus far especially on the world stage and in US policy.

All the Twitter posts are silly, but the man has a right to defend himself.

If the media wants the Twitter outbursts to stop (they don't) then they need to stop attacking him.

The entire symbiosis between the POTUS and the Zionist media is fake political theater, but most Americans can't discern the difference.

 

[smellmyfarts]

Since Trump became president, and even before then, he was getting heavily criticized by the media. What I want to know is, is he really that bad? Or is the media just not giving him a break?

Trade: WIN
Jobs: WIN
Border security: WIN
ISIS: WIN
Putting the media in check: WIN
Gun Control: WIN
Supreme Court choice: WIN
Law and Order: WIN
Education: Not Sure yet
Healthcare: FAIL
Energy: FAIL
Environment: FAIL
Unity: FAIL
Professionalism: FAIL

 

[K1levelgrappler]

In terms of domestic policy he's shaping up to be substantially worse than Bush, probably the worst we've ever had. He hasn't started any major wars yet so he has that going for him.

He's pretty fucking bad but it's clear that he has absolutely no grasp of policy and just acts as a rubber stamp for shitty ideas that the GOP has been tossing around for decades.

 

[Culombo]

You possess a rapist’s wit, indeed.

rustle noted .. try to be more accurate next time

 

[Letssnuggle]

He’s so bad that CNN - last Friday - is still forced to fabricate lies since the stories they seek don’t exist.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

He's kicking ass and making America first in a world that wants Americas demise.
