It's his fault I don't trust him.  You can blame the media for that, but it was really just his 10 million things that he's said and done that make me believe it. Honestly, I have no clue what a great trade deal would be.  I just know he can't be trusted, and he's not smart. 

Is he pro life? No

Will his agenda support low income? No

Is he a very religious man? No

Does he support the beliefs of the people that voted for him? No

 

The whole not trusting him part really isn't that hard. He is a reflection of whatever will provide him publicity and power. He's not the only politician guilty of these things.

The elected President is trying to "take over our country" ?

The art of the deal?  This looks like a guy who listed his house for sale at a ridiculously high price, no offers came in and he had to cut the price by half. What a deal!

Trying to destroy the constitution’s prescription of 3 equal branches of government.  But you knew that and are fine with it.

Better to list it too high than too low.

Just relax you can't fix the corruption and raw deals this country has suffered overnight. The winning will continue and we all will be better for it.

actually, not true.  Set the price right.  then the potential buyers in your area come out and look at it and don't buy something else while never considering your house.  kinda like what Mexico is doing with China.

$300 tvs will soon be gone. But the fact you could buy one for that shows the success of our previous policies.

Hell, you could get a 55-60 inch LCD for sub $300

At the expense of the American families. Which you give zero shitz about.

Economy was doing pretty good because of the TCJA and him slashing unnecessary regulations during his first term.  Would've been better without his tariffs obviously.  Covid was a force majeur event that tanked the global economy so it's unfair to blame him for that.  I also didn't kill Biden because inflation was also global but he didn't exactly help the situation here.

 

There are no such thing as "unnecessary regulations". Regulations don't just happen just because. They come from companies doing shady things and then trying to sweep it under the rug and not get caught, usually to boost their bottom line profit and CEO bonuses.  Then regulations are created to prevent them from doing that anymore. Then as always, they find a new gray area or loophole to exploit until they are forced to pass another regulation to deal with it. And so on, and so forth.

 

I worked for multiple large global banks. Why do you think there are so many banking regulations? Because as a "cost of doing business" these banks would willfully do shady things and happily pay the fines since they are far less than the profits they made. They literally have people whose sole job is to come up with new ways around regulations and laws to make money.  It's essentially legalized white-collar mafia like activities without any criminal penalties. You think these companies care about some fines? It only hurts when regulations are put in place that can cost them their charters or licenses to do business among many other stiffer penalties.

 

So if you want regulations to be lowered, simply have companies stop willfully and brazenly doing shady, illegal things and getting caught red handed. Good luck with that. The reward is too great and the risk of doing it is far too low to act as a deterrence. Until a regulation is passed. Regulations are REACTIVE, not proactive.

Why should I pay thousands for a TV just so some slob in Ohio can turn bolts on an assembly line for $30k a year?

 

It’s a backwards way of thinking.

The metric should be standard of living. Looking at the median, which countries citizens do better than the US?  Even at the very bottom we’re still better than most. But that group generally does best in socialisms.

He won't be making 30k. It will be a unionized slob making more like 75k to sell you a TV that is 4x as much. The entire argument is to shift the playing field to the uneducated, underqualified, generally lower academically performing population in the US. They're Americas new socialist party. The dumb, white, disenfranchised.
