Trump Administration Predictions (2 Viewers)

[RogerCooper]

A closed border is essential for any country's sovereignty, regardless of price and propaganda

And yet we survived for more than 200 years without a closed border.

 

[Steve R.]

I blame immigration restrictionists who have made it too hard to enter the US legally, despite the strong demand for labor. A closed border is inherently an expensive border.

Your focus on the border, in terms of labor, misses an essential critical point. The destruction of US culture by importing people into this country who have minimal incentives to assimilate. The Democratic mantra has been "Demographics are on our side." Democrats are purposely trying to change the character of this country.

And yet we survived for more than 200 years without a closed border.

True, because the people coming here were from Europe and wanted to assimilate. Democrats are importing a wholly different demographic pool. They want the character of this country to be changed. They are anti-European culture.

Immigrants have lots of incentive to assimilate and most do quite readily.

What exactly in European culture do you think non-European immigrants lack? What about the charter do you think non-European immigrants want to change?

We can agree to disagree, I am sympathetic to your business and personal losses, I get it.

Someone has to be the "bad guy" and make tough decisions, it's what leaders do. If you're a dad you probably know what I mean.

I have two children and I was not the "bad guy". We put "bad guys" in prison.

What leaders do is the make tough decisions and get people to support those decisions. Trump has avoided making tough decisions about the budget deficit.

Everything Trump is doing he campaigned on?

 

[Steve R.]

Trump has avoided making tough decisions about the budget deficit.

The Democrats avoided making tough decisions concerning the budget deficit when they were in charge. Fast forward to today and Democrats are apparently not helping the Republicans to cut excessive spending. Seems the Democrats and their proxies are filing lawsuits to force the government to continue to spend. Why aren't the Democrats demanding that Trump make the tough decisions to cut spending? Seems they are missing a great opportunity to restore fiscal responsibility.

 

[AccessBlaster]

Chuck Schumer is now blaming the Mexican ship accident partially on Trump. Even though it suffered a mechanical failure and was drifting backwards into the bridge, it's Trump's fault. What a load.

Did he campaign on higher prices?

Under Obama, the Democrats let tax cuts expire, reducing the deficit. Under Trump, the Republicans expanded the deficits further with tax cuts.

Big spending was characteristic of Trump I, as well as his personal and business life. For Trump II, we have the F-47, a $300,000,000 a piece fighter aircraft. Does anyone seriously think that manned aircraft are the future of war?

By the way Steve, you still have not explained what aspects of American culture that European immigrants have embraced while non-European immigrants have rejected.

Did Biden?
Inflation peaked at 9.1% in June 2022, the highest in about 40 years.

Seems that others have recognized the absurdity of Schumer's remarks.

PS: Thankfully we should congratulate Trump for making the sun rise today!

Really. While this relates to England, it still correlates with what is happening in the US.

Nearly Half of British Public Feel Like 'Strangers' in Own Country: Poll

Almost of the people living in Britain feel like "strangers" in their country, appearing to confirm PM Starmer's warnings on migration.

www.breitbart.com

... Prime Minister Starmer took a rhetorical axe to the sacred cow of open borders ideology in declaring that not only does mass migration not produce economic benefits for the working class of Britain, but also that it risked turning the country into an “island of strangers” as community cohesion collapses.

Biden apparently illegally invited 10+ million people to invade this country. Currently most of them appear to be welfare recipients. Why aren't they working? What is their educational level? Do they even speak English?

Instead of being grateful to the US for rescuing her from Somalia, Ilhan Omar is condemning the US and is also antisemitic.

Under Obama, the Democrats let tax cuts expire, reducing the deficit.

Playing games. Take a look here.

• Based on Table 7.1 the National debt continued to explode under Obama. From $9,986,082 in 2008 to $19,539,450 in 2016.
• Based on Table 1.1 Deficit spending varied. In 2008 deficit spending was $458,553 and rose to $1,412,688. Then it began to decline, but it was still massive deficit spending. In 2016 deficit spending spiked up again to $584,651and did continue to go up in subsequent years. So it is somewhat disingenuous to assert that Obama was "reducing" the deficit since the Democrats continued with inflated spending and never reduced the National debt. Obama could deserve some sympathy if he at least brought back deficit spending levels to those that existed prior to his administration. But he did not.

Since 2008 and 2016 are transition years we can have the never ending argument over which administration is responsible for those numbers.

Big spending was characteristic of Trump I, as well as his personal and business life.

Trump may like to spend. We do pay too much for military equipment. But you overlook that Democrats are big money laundering crooks spending big bucks on consultants and faux programs. Harris spent around one billion dollars in money laundering in a very short period of time when she was running for president.

you mean like ending inflation? This inflation started in his 1st Term, and it took 4 years to get it under control. Now he is working hard to double the worst of it and take it 8 more years to fix.
Republican "values' made the Great Depression last 12 years, and only ended with a global conflict. Study the history.

Money Laundering? Sounds like a term infinitely repeated by Conservative Brain Washers.

Blowing smoke once again.

• Under Trump's first term the CPI (Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U): U.S. city average) grew 7%.
• Under Biden the CPI grew by 18%.

So exactly how did Biden get inflation under control?

 

[AccessBlaster]

At least Hunter and Dr Jill are no longer running the white house.

WATCH: CNN's Jake Tapper says Hunter Biden "was driving the decision-making for the family."

"He was almost like a chief of staff."

They trusted and supported the Fed for one. They allowed Russia to sell reduced price Oil to India and China for two. Inflationary growth takes a while to manifest. You're old you should remember how long it took to grow in the 70s and how long it took to change course. The changes we saw then were started by the Carter administration, and then Regan gave full support to Greenspan.

Then there is this:
During President Obama's two terms, from 2009 to 2017, the average annual CPI inflation rate was 1.46%,.

So Trump inherited a great economy.
If you look at this chart you can get a much clearer picture.

I CLEARLY recall during Trump's 1st term that he ordered border closures but suspended his own order and BEGGED Congress to update immigration laws. He delayed the closure for 30 days to give Congress a chance to do SOMETHING - but they did nothing. During the Biden administration, Congress had four years to change the law but did nothing. Trump finally started enforcing the law. This time, Trump ran on a platform including strict border control. NOW some members of Congress are bemoaning the fate of the immigrants, but did they change the laws when they had a chance? They did NOTHING!

You don't like the restrictions? Trump is enforcing the law that Congress left behind for him. Live with it.
