I know that is your reality and not sure how you formed it, but it is so wrong e.g. Europe is not socialist. Every single country is a democracy. So when your basic assumptions are wrong so will your conclusions.
Trump is evil and the village idiot. The entire world sees it. He cheats everyone and lies constantly (how have you failed to notice or don't you care?) and has been involved with worldwide organized crime forever and the Russian mafia. Where he gets his money. And of all the things you addressed the biggest problem besides the two trillion deficits his tax cuts will lead to is Russia.
Our biggest enemy is Russia and Trump refuses to protect us and protects Russia instead.
Quickly: the pros say Trump has set us up for a two trillion budget deficit next year that will continue on into perpetuity. The Paris accords were voluntary and it was a show of solidarity. Only a couple countries didn't sign it. It is stupid to not work with NATO. We need their cooperation to protect us! It was Australia that alerted us to Russian meddling.
Trump fights with everyone or did you not notice. We are better protected when the worlds countries are our friends and look out for us.
Europe is not socialist, the are all democratic countries that just do a better job of looking out for their people like universal health care and affordable education.
There is no doubt that he's a puff artist and politically incorrect in his speech. However, he brings up some very good points and has the right stand on many issues. For example, why does the US have to carry the lion's share of the NATO budget when European countries aren't paying their fair share, according to the NATO compact, not by a long shot? Trump's right to pressure them. Also, TPP was a trade deal that was designed to create a one size fits all set of rules between all countries and would have cost the US trillions, even as other signatories would have benefitted greatly. Why does the US always have to enter into trade deals that ultimately benefit everyone, but use the US as a piggy bank to finance the development of 2nd and 3rd world countries? Trump was right to pull out of that.
On another point, you know that I have been VERY consistent in my support of climate change issues. I disagree with the GOP on this and have done for a very long time. However, why would the US sign on to the Paris Climate Accord when the result over a 50 year period was designed to be a slow down of the acceleration by 0.1%? In other words, there was going to be zero actual reduction of the green house gases! It's kind of like our politicians always saying they are going to bend the curve on spending, but they never actually balance the budget. It's lies designed to make us feel good, but not make actual progress. In addition the Paris accord was going to cost the US several trillions over that 50 years, most of it paid out to developing countries to incentivize them not to use dirty energy. Once again, another world agreement designed to be paid for by the American people, while achieving no real results. Trump was right to pull out of the Paris Accord.
On the monstrosity of the tax bill just passed and signed, Trump was right to incentivize bringing corporations overseas money back home and he was right that corporate tax decreases would create a new climate of capital investment in the US. Those things will help us be very competitive with overseas companies, as evidence by the alarm in Europe over the impact to their own companies when our bill was passed. Trump was right on these things. However, I do think that not enough was done to help the 99% in that tax bill and I am vociferously against anything that increases the deficit, which this tax bill does in spades.
So while you guys are busy demonizing Trump, he is doing some things that are right on the economy. He is not evil. He's just a very polarizing figure. Like all human beings, he has some good in him as well as some incompetence. Unfortunately for him, part of his incompetence is his diarrhea of the mouth and twitter, which amplifies his shortcomings for the world to see.
Lastly, as to whether or not the world loves him, I couldn't care less. I know it is the goal of the liberals to remake the US in Europe's image, but I don't share that vision. Europe is a damned socialist mess and they are being overrun by Muslims, which is destroying European culture and the Western, Christian values that we all fought so hard for. I am glad that the US is going in a different direction. We only have a decade or so left before the millennials take over the baton from the Baby Boomers, which means we'll start to look one hell of a lot like Europe in the very near future, with all its socialism, Islamism, and inability to defend or pay for itself. The longer we can delay that outcome, the better in my book. The US is still strong despite all the efforts of its own people to destroy ourselves. Trump represents a rearguard effort to delay that future. So I'm cheering him on. |
