Explain To Me How Trump Differs From The Generic Democrat

[Wooden Indian]

He's no different than the average Dem.... but he is different from the Obama / Pelosi brand.

Is that good enough? Hell no, it ain't.
However, much to my surprise, he has been better on a couple of issues than I thought he'd be, unfortunately Foreign Policy isn't one of em.

I know this wasn't the question, but were I to rank them, and The Ghost of Jefferson was a 10 and the incarnation of Lincoln a 1...

Barry would be a 2, Bush and Billary a 3... Trump would be a 4.

Of course this ranking is highly scientific and was not made up from the top of my head at 730 in the morning, so don't question my genius!!

The Trump Effect: Business, Anticipating Less Regulation, Loosens Purse Strings

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/01/u...ic-growth.html

By BINYAMIN APPELBAUM and JIM TANKERSLEY JAN. 1, 2018

WASHINGTON — A wave of optimism has swept over American business leaders, and it is beginning to translate into the sort of investment in new plants, equipment and factory upgrades that bolsters economic growth, spurs job creation — and may finally raise wages significantly.

While business leaders are eager for the tax cuts that take effect this year, the newfound confidence was initially inspired by the Trump administration’s regulatory pullback, not so much because deregulation is saving companies money but because the administration has instilled a faith in business executives that new regulations are not coming.

“It’s an overall sense that you’re not going to face any new regulatory fights,” said Granger MacDonald, a home builder in Kerrville, Tex. “We’re not spending more, which is the main thing. We’re not seeing any savings, but we’re not seeing any increases.”

Has he not contributed to democrats also?

Ok I stand corrected, he has been donor/champion of Dems going back decades.

Still this does not prove automatically that he himself is a flip flopping "mother of all swamps". One cannot be a hardcore Christian values guy and a swamp simultaneously.

Trump launches attack on Syria with 59 Tomahawk missiles

https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/06/us-m...-nbc-news.html

The U.S. military attacked a Syria-government airfield with 59 Tomahawk missiles on Thursday evening.

The missiles targeted the Shayrat air base near Homs, and were in response to a Tuesday chemical weapons attack. Officially announcing the strike, President Donald Trump said the targeted airfield had launched the chemical attack on a rebel-held area, and he called on other nations to oppose Syria's embattled leader.

"On Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians. Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad choked out the lives of helpless men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack," Trump said Thursday night.

This is true, he is a bastion of morality. He puts Ron Paul to shame with his integrety, honesty and humility.

Correct. He's the second one.


I don't know how you could imagine any level of Christian values, let alone 'hardcore.'

Dems and GOPA leader agree on Kennedy center funding using taxpayers money:

Trump defends $25 million in Kennedy Center funding in coronavirus stimulus
03/25/20
President Trump on Wednesday defended the inclusion of $25 million in funding for the Kennedy Center as part of the massive economic relief bill aimed at boosting small businesses and workers harmed by the fallout of the coronavirus.
Trump fashioned himself a supporter of the arts, arguing that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is deserving of assistance given its inability to put on shows as officials ban large gatherings to try to curb the spread of the virus.
"I’m a fan of that," Trump said of the funding. "I haven’t spent time there because I’m far too busy. I’d love to go there evenings, but I’m too busy doing things."

Why don't you tell us the top three policies of Trump's that you disagree with?

Allow me to amend my complaint.

Take that complaint, and add a zero or two.

2017's federal budget, submitted by Obama, totaled $4.147 trillion in spending.

2018's federal budget, submitted by Trump, totals $4.094 trillion in spending.

A decrease of $53 billion dollars

Do I even need to say anything?

Do you know what the deficit was for last MONTH (not year)?

..not even counting the $2,000 Billion Fed money printing.

$738 billion

For a $#@!ing MONTH!!!




Yea, this is going to end really well.

And so, this will continue.

How in God's name did FDR get reelected four times?

Welp, he did.

Stupid is the wrong word. Ignorant is more descriptive. The vast majority are entirely ignorant. And that's the way the establishment likes them.

Fair point

The more intelligent voters aren't much better informed; they may actually be worse informed, in that they "know" things that aren't true.

"I think she's a wonderful woman. I think that she's a little bit misunderstood. You know, Hillary's a very smart woman, very tough woman, that's fine, but she's also a very nice person. And I know Hillary and I know her husband very well; they're fine people." --Donald Trump

As a NY builder, he schmoozed everyone. I'm not sure if there is a way not to. One thing though. I have never seen him advocate world government, as I have seen YOU do.

+Rep if I could.....and you won't seem me praising the guy often, but he hasn't got us into any big wars and he's definitely not advocating globalism.

This is true. Hopefully he won't start any new wars going into his second term.

The relatively free trade that we've enjoyed for the last several decades is coming to an end.

The higher prices resulting from that will nicely compliment the higher prices resulting from the monetary inflation that everyone's ignoring.

But at least we won't be forced to have the choice to buy or not buy foreign products as we please.

he's like Rand Paul on steroids...

Naa, Trump is a 'king of debt' and pro big deficit/big gummit spending/pro socialism and RP is opposite of that :


Rand Paul: Republicans should apologize to Obama for complaining about spending
"They might lose this election because they are acting like Democrats now. I am very upset with my colleagues. They went 8 years. They should apologize now to President Obama for complaining he was spending and borrowing too much. He was a piker compared to their borrowing and what they're doing now."
