Trump Accomplishments
 

Figured it was time for a positive thread (that will instantly be turned negative). Believe it or not he's accomplished a lot more than supposedly taking hot tub sessions with Putin.

I understand that not all of you will agree with all of these based on legit political differences of opinions, but I think he's doing a good job when you look at actual results.

And right on queue. You must get a text alert anytime the name Trump is mentioned here. The TDS alert goes up like the bat signal.

If you were so inclined to be anything but 100% negative you could find your own links.

this is from the same artical..........................

"As a candidate, Trump was vocally skeptical of climate change regulations but specifically vowed “to promote clean air and water,” which are overwhelmingly popular causes. But Trump has moved to roll back dozens of rules on these subjects without the changes ever becoming a focus of sustained public debate.

Most of these rollbacks’ impacts will be felt primarily in the long term, but already, particulate pollution is getting worse, reversing years of progress. A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon estimates that 9,700 more Americans died due to air pollution in 2018 than in 2016, in part due to regulatory changes. But the Trump administration is moving to restrict the range of evidence used to demonstrate air pollution’s harms, hoping to forestall the promulgation of new standards that would lead to stricter regulation."

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

And more from G1s
[Quote]
In tandem with the regulatory rollback, Trump’s goal of boosting America’s natural resource extraction industries has been largely successful. There is no broad-based revival of the coal industry, but*employment in coal mining has stabilized and is rising slightly*in a reversal of recent trends. American oil output has soared to the point where*net imports of crude oil and petroleum products*are at their lowest level in generations and the country is likely to become a net exporter in the near future. Natural gas output, meanwhile, has*soared to record highs[/Quote]
And also
[Quote]
Beyond cutting rates, Trump has also reshaped the tax code in important ways. By substantially increasing the standard deduction, TCJA has reduced the number of families who itemize tax deductions and thus, in effect, made all deductions less valuable and economically important. Pairing this with a reduction in the amount of home mortgage interest that is eligible for tax deductibility has, in particular, narrowed the scope of the mortgage interest tax deduction — long seen as a sacred cow of the tax code — and done so without notably disrupting the real estate market... *But the reshaping of the deductions landscape is likely to be a somewhat enduring, and arguably progressive, part of his legacy.[/Quote]

And
[Quote]As*Vox’s Nicole Narea has detailed, for example, the Trump administration “built up, layer by layer, a series of impediments in Central America, at the border, in detention centers, and in the immigration courts that have made obtaining asylum nearly impossible.”[/Quote]

And finally
[Quote]Trump has seen federal judges*appointed and confirmed at a record rate. He’s put 46 Circuit Court judges on the bench in three years compared to 55 across eight years of Obama, meaning a bit over a quarter of appeals court judges are now Trump appointees.*[/Quote]

So while dems scream and moan in literal hysterics over trumped up charges, Trump amd the Republican Senate have been working on the agenda they campaigned on.

Can I tiptoe in here while avoiding the major discussion of this dogshit thread?

I want him impeached because he thinks the position of POTUS is above the law. Literally anytime one of his advisors say "we don't have the law to back us up on this" he just does it anyways, and they'll figure out the legal ramifications later.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

Giantone - Can you say even 1 thing that has happened during his administration that you agree is a positive accomplishment? Or you literally disagree with 100% of anything that's been done? I would think there would have to be 1.

Why is the thread dogshit? You're turning into Giantone. Not every political post or thread has to be directed towards shitting on the president.

Also, you can want him impeached, but still think some things he has done were positive.

Because you started the thread for you, Cred, and Chico to pat yourselves on the back for accomplishing your agenda knowing full well G1 was gonna come in here and try to spoil it. Then when he posts you all just jump on him for doing it.

Congratulations, he accomplished your conservative agenda?

America will never prosper as long as one party prioritizes winning over everything else. Say what you want about libs trying to impeach Trump from day one (which I believe was only a select few outspoken jackasses and not indicative of the entire party), but it seems like the only time Republicans are happy nowadays is seeing Dems unhappy.

No, nope not one thing, everything in your bullshit links was because Obama had already started it and as for the economy I will ask once again ,...........did trump walk into the same situation trump was given?! The thing I have said before an to reiterate is my despise for trump goes way back to Atlantic City . I found out then what a shit human he was and he hasn't let me down . His whole agenda is to undo what Obama did and that is the only reason that Republicans back his racist morally corrupt ass.

What are you going to do if he is re-elected? That will probably be good for you since you are obsessed with your hatred for him, I suppose it gives you purpose. If you are retired maybe it would be healthier for you to find another hobby, or go volunteer somewhere.

So because G1 hijacks every thread or post with his incessant whining no one else can try to have a conversation about the president that is not 100% negative?

No, I didn't start this thread to pat anyone on the back. I started it so there was a place the other side of the coin could be discussed and for other people that maybe don't follow politics closely to see other information about the presidency.

People voted for him on the policies and ideas he had. You are supposed to try to advance your agenda. I happen to think conservative policies are best for all Americans so yes I want conservative policies, laws, etc. to be enacted.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

Are we equating accomplishments to keeping promises to his base? I guess you could say he's done or at least attempted to that. We're not really talking about actual "success" for the country vs. his party. The jobs thing is what most people tout, but that's been proven to be cyclical regardless of what party is in office, so I'm not thanking him for that.

Kind of like W., I'm left feeling like this: my day-to-day life really hasn't changed that much. When I turn on the TV, I absolutely despise (this is regardless of which station I flip through) what he has turned the country into. And that's on HIM. Going way back to my earliest memories, I can't remember a single president doing that. We all hate each other more than ever, and I haven't seen enough "success" to think having such a fucking moron in office is worth it. But hey, as long as the base is happy!

Saying that the economy is doing well under Trump does not take anything away from Obama. He did hand off a very stable economy to Trump and I applaud him for it. And Trump has taken the bouton and ran with it, and I applaud him for that.

You seem to think that if you like anything Trump does it takes something away from Obama. It doesn't.

I think it's a combination of both. I even said in my initial post that not everyone would agree on what are actual accomplishments. But we've seen some good results and good results are good for everyone.

It's not just solid unemployment numbers they are amazing unemployment numbers that don't happen every cycle. The stock market is going great. Incomes are rising. He has negotiated some trade deals including one recently signed this past week.

I think at the best I'm indifferent because I still don't think you can solely thank him or blame him for things like the economy. I'm in "wait and see" mode for the trade deals...

For me, and I'm not going to act like I'm a bleeding heart environmentalist but I DO care and he has totally bent over the environment and said, "Bite the pillow, I'm going in raw."

I say all this, but honestly, I truly don't believe he's smart enough to do all this shit on his own. I feel like he has some handlers feeding him all this, because he certainly wasn't thinking about it when all he had was a show and a catch-phrase.

The president is similar to a QB. Often gets too much credit and too much blame. I don't think he's single handedly responsible either. But he's the president so if things happen under his watch, whether good or bad, it's on his record.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

I agree with this. I try really hard to see both sides, but the shit he's said/done, I wouldn't waste a turd by pooping on his face. :D

Lol, never waste a good duece.

Speaking of shit, yes, he does have diarrhea of the mouth. Sometimes the best response is just to STFU.

And yes, Trump loves himself some Trump. I agree with a lot of his policies so I probably overlook the other stuff more than I should. Some of the shit he says is pretty funny tho. But he could dial it down a notch or 5 most times.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

Trumps (only) accomplishment ...

Made American foreign policy unpredictable.

China knows that previously our foreign policy was always to de-escalate and slow moving. China was just doing death by a thousand paper cuts to us. They knew that if their violations or ingresses were small enough in nature that didnt warrant a major US response, they could slowly just repeat the same pattern over and over, moving the ball ever so slightly down the field but while maintaining the status quo because no single event was big enough to set off the alarms. Then looking back 50 years, they would have achieved their goal by taking a long and patient road.

Also, China knew that the US would debate and debate before ever doing anything about anything so we are always slow to respond and always look to de-escalate.

Now, Trump is so unpredictable. Look at Iran, their response to us killing their rock star General over the last 40 years was so muted because they were warned that Trump is erratic and he may go all in if he feels he has to save face. So Iran dialed it back, not wanting to prompt the unpredictable.

The Chinesse man made islands in the S China Sea are a good example. Couple of buckets of sand a day isnt alarming. But do that every day for 10 years ... and you have yourself a landing strip and military outpost established directly in contested waters.

Re: Trump Accomplishments
 

Here’s a bit from trump’s speech today in davos:

Since my election, America has gained over seven million jobs. The unemployment rate is now less than 3.5%. We’re concentrating and creating the most inclusive economy ever to exist. We are lifting up Americans of every race, color, religion, and creed. Since I took office, more than two million Millennials have gotten jobs, and their wages have grown by nearly 5% annually — a number that was unthinkable. This is a blue-collar boom. Since my election, the net worth of the bottom half of wage earners has increased by plus-47%, three times faster than the increase for the top 1%. Real median household income is at the highest level ever recorded. The American dream is back bigger, better, and stronger than ever before.

Trump’s job growth falls short of Obama’s last three years

The Labor Department’s revised job count lowered the April 2018 to March 2019 by 501,000. Assuming that the almost 42,000 per month lower number is spread evenly across the 12 months, Trump’s 2018 total of 2.303 million jobs falls short of Obama’s 2014 to 2016 results and essentially matches his 2.302 million for 2013. And 2018 was helped by Trump’s tax cut sugar high.
