Thread: President Trump - 2nd Term

^I will happily admit that Trump is riddled with faults and problems in his personal style and many of his policy strategies.

Will you admit that there are some aspects of Trumps governance and policy that are actually good?

e.g.

1. Securing the US southern border
2. Deporting the most dangerous illegal migrants
3. Pushing back on the badly thought out DEI policies of recent years
4. Pulling the rug from under the Trans nonsense
5. Focusing on a process to improve government efficiency
6. Dismantling some of the more farcical US AID programs

You don't have to agree with all of them but do you agree that some of them have some merit?


If not then who is the blinkered partisan?

I don't think the 2 hosts were trying to be funny themselves, but if you want to subtract them from the equation, did you not find any of the Trump impressions themselves funny?

This was an overstatement. I do not think people have lost the plot, if they do not find Trump impressions funny, but I do find it curious.

Given that impressions are making fun of someone, i.e. belittling them, I would think that normally their political opponents would relish such parodies even more than their political sympathisers. It is curious if a leader is able to evoke such a negative reaction that even their opponents find simply lampooning them to be without humour.

If you’re able to “happily admit” he is “riddled with faults” in policy strategies, why don’t you list them for us?

I’ll get you started..

1. Filling his cabinet with completely unqualified fucking imbeciles.
2. Rolling back healthcare regulations.
3. Rolling back EPA regulations.
4. Cutting clean energy programs.
5. Putting the country on the verge of economic collapse, with ridiculous tariffs.
6. Alienating our allies, and strengthening our adversaries.

Your turn. Or are you just a “blinkered partisan”?
