Obvious Truth #22


Donald Trump is an impulsive, braggadocios, lecherous exaggerator who, despite an almost universally hostile media, a corrupt Deep State and a spittle-flecked Resistance; is clearly doing more for the betterment of his country than any U.S. president in the last 30 years. -- Anon.

Some of the spittle has clouded my goggles. Can you please list a few of the accomplishments that you cite as "betterment" for the folks who voted for him. Try to be specific.

4+% GDP growth, highest consumer confidence in decades, lowest ethnic unemployment ever, met oil exporter, NATO carrying more of its weight, restoring out armed forces, renegotiating bad trade agreements, ISIS decimated, NKorea stepping away from nuke war, small business surge, finally some real wage growth, informing immigration laws, soaring stock market, saving our steel and aluminum industries, lower taxes for most, reduced regulations, more Stormy Daniels at mens clubs, etc.

Thanks for the tedious repetition of Trump's dubious "achievements." I asked for a specific list of his "actions that have resulted in the betterment of his supporters." In your list, I can agree that the modest (if temporary) lowering of taxes would benefit the middles. Whereas the windfall for billionaires is permanent.
The rest of your list is the Fox-Hannity party line (saving steel industry, ISIS decimated, surge,growth,best) based on some of the same sources that you refused to accept from Obama admin (because they could be cooked). Other actions in your list are mere intentions and not accomplishments.

So, you would like the stock market back where it was before Trump was elected. It is up somerhing like 40%. Is this not a proxy for all there other good things you poo-poo?

Ho Hum, the market was surging for the previous 8 years not just the past 2.
(It might even be higher if we did not have a loose-cannon for a president.)
Not to mention the Russian collusion.

Strained logic re the stock market. And even Woodward says there was no Russian collusion.
