The United States has regained respect.

Trouble with the Left is you worry more about what the world thinks of us than you do that we get treated fairly. Most of our trade agreements were not fair at all. NATO was taking advantage of us, using their money to advance their social and financial interests while depending on America to supply most of the weapons needed. Trump didn't like that arrangement and went to change it and he did. But the Left still can't see it. They are more worried that we were liked.

 

I couldn't care less what non Americans think about American politics.

 

You actually truely believe that the "world" respects the United States more....now. You believe that?

 

That's not true. Trump knows that he lost the election. Otherwise, it makes absolutely no sense that he was dropping seeds of doubt about the integrity of the election process WAY before last Fall. His advisors probably told him that his approval was waning over his destructive and counterproductive approach to the pandemic and its impact on the country.

Trump can't face the fact that he was fired. His whole life he's been the one *doing* the firing. So, for him, all this is what law enforcement calls "the long con". He's raked in (and *continues* to rake in) MILLIONS of dollars every month from people that believe his BS. Isn't it obvious what he thinks of his supporters? How many times has he spoken up/for all the Capitol rioters? Zero. He's a user and a loser.

That's all he is and if Daddy Warbucks hadn't left him a ton of money, the only reason we would hear his name is if we went to purchase a used car in a corner lot of some non-descript town. He has failed at every single thing he has touched. Remember King Midas? Everything he touched turned to gold. Everything Trump touches turns to mold. He's a psychopath with no ability of self-actualization. He whines and lets his minions get their hands dirty. No questions.

The ONLY question is why can't everybody see how treacherous and anti-American he really is? You can only boil the frog for so long.

 

I’d rather our country be powerful, successful and feared, then “respected” by weaker countries that don’t really matter in world affairs.

 

America is far stronger when it earns the respect of it's Allies. They don't have to like us, just know America will be their for them when needed, but we won't be taken advantage of anymore. That is the message Trump delivered to the world.

Obama completed two terms and had one of the worst recoveries we had in over 50 years. His fighting ISIS was a disgrace. Here is Obama's economy. If you had an honest news, you'd know it.

How good were the 10.9 million jobs under Obama?
Money.CNN.com/2016/11/04/news/economy/jobs-under-obama/...
Nov 03, 2016 · CNNMoney breaks down what kinds of jobs have been created and ... Almost all of the job gains under President Obama have been in so-called service jobs,

The deep recession wiped out primarily high-wage and middle-wage jobs. Yet the strongest employment growth during the sluggish recovery has been in low-wage work, at places like strip malls and fast-food restaurants.

In essence, the poor economy has replaced good jobs with bad ones. That is the conclusion of a new report from the National Employment Law Project, a research and advocacy group, analyzing employment trends four years into the recovery.

“Fast food is driving the bulk of the job growth at the low end — the job gains there are absolutely phenomenal,” said Michael Evangelist, the report’s author. “If this is the reality — if these jobs are here to stay and are going to be making up a considerable part of the economy — the question is, how do we make them better?”

The report shows that total employment has finally surpassed its pre-recession level. “The good news is we’re back to zero,” Mr. Evangelist said.

But job losses and gains have been skewed. Higher-wage industries — like accounting and legal work — shed 3.6 million positions during the recession and have added only 2.6 million positions during the recovery. But lower-wage industries lost two million jobs, then added 3.8 million.

Aug 02, 2013 · Fully 77 percent of positions added to the market in 2013 have been part-time, in contrast to the positive economic news making the media rounds, according to payroll reports released in recent weeks.
"There are now 1.2 million fewer jobs in mid- and higher-wage industries than there were before the Great Recession, according to data from the National Employment Law Project. In contrast, there are 2.3 million more jobs in lower-wage sectors than before the recession," according to CNBC. Nor is there the hoped-for renaissance in American manufacturing. We have some 300,000 fewer manufacturing jobs since President Barack Obama took office and 1.5 million jobs below the pre-recession level.

Poverty level under Obama breaks 50-year record ...
https://www.washingtontimes.com/.../obamas-rhetoric-on......

Jan 07, 2014 · A record 47 million Americans receive food stamps, about 13 million more than when he took office.

 

Welfare At All-Time High Under Obama

The latest government figures reveal that an astonishing number of people are collecting public benefits such as food stamps and disability checks, revealing an alarming trend of dependence on government rather than self-sufficiency associated with the American dream.

A record 5.4 million workers have applied for federal disability checks since President Obama took office, according to a news report that cites recent government figures. This is straining already-stretched government finances while posing a long-term economic threat by creating an ever-growing pool of permanently dependent working-age Americans, the report says.

Since the recession supposedly ended in mid 2009, the number of people who have applied for disability benefits is double the job growth figure, according the report which includes an informative chart. In just the first four months of this year, 539,000 joined the disability rolls and more than 725,000 applied for the federal benefit. That means nearly 11 million people are on disability, according to the Social Security Administration.

Also this week, government figures reveal that a record number are getting food stamps and the figure will keep rising. This is not surprising since the Obama Administration has promoted the program like there’s no tomorrow in an effort to eradicate “food insecure households.” In fact, the administration has spent millions of dollars to recruit even more food-stamp recipients and has doled out hefty cash rewards to states that sign up the most people. One state even bragged about a $5 million performance bonus it got from the feds for its “swift processing of applications.”https://www.judicialwatch.org/.../welfare-at-all-time.../

 

And there it is, the cold hard truth! Then the left bitch we should tax the rich, to what end if all you're going to do is hand it out to every country on the planet while Americans live in DNC ghetto's and poverty

 

The left at this point needs something, anything, ANYBODY to like them, because even the American left is getting a bit put out with their choice of idiot

 

The Cry Baby Loser was neither liked nor respected. His being a blowhard appealed to his weird worshippers.

In any event, the American electorate dumped him after a single term, and his whining that his "landslide!" was stolen is quite pathetic.

After he incited his goons with that lie to attack the police defending Congress whom they outnumbered, many had had quite enough of the braying fraud.

"Aw, phooey!"​

 

Yes he did believe the election was stolen.The video that the pillow guy put out convinced him of that, along with other things that happened.

He never told the crowd to attack Congress. He said just the opposite.
U.S. President Donald Trump did tell supporters on Jan. 6, 2021, to gather at the U.S. Capitol and try to convince members of Congress to delay the constitutional process that would affirm Biden's presidency.

What's False
Trump did not explicitly tell people to "storm" or "breach" or "break into" the Capitol.

 

I showed you the economy that your great President Obama gave us. The one the Left thinks is one of the best ten Presidents. One of the worst economies in 50 years. Here is the economy Trump gave us. The man most of you hate.

Real median household income has grown by $4,144 or 6.8 percent since President Trump took office, according to an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal.
This data is based on a report released by Sentier Research analyzing the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey.
As noted in the op-ed, authored by Stephen Moore, real median household income is at an all-time high:
“Real median household income—the amount earned by those in the very middle—hit $65,084 (in 2019 dollars) for the 12 months ending in July. That’s the highest level ever and a gain of $4,144, or 6.8%, since Mr. Trump took office. By comparison, during 7½ years under President Obama—starting from the end of the recession in June 2009 through January 2017—the median household income rose by only about $1,000.”

Jan 31, 2018 • President Donald Trump's first full year in office saw gains that easily outdistanced any year for his predecessor, Barack Obama, whose best showing was the 2.2 percent increases in 2016 and 2014. Six of Obama's eight years in office saw gains of 2 percent or less.

 

All part of the plan!

Keep 'em dependent, and keep recruiting more for your underclass. Demonise private property, and do everything you can to discourage people from acting in their own best interests in that regard. Tell the people they're entitled to live in the very centre of the most expensive cities in the nation - and don't let anyone try to tell the people they have to earn that particular privilege! The concept of earning things must be demonised loudly and often, so that the people don't try to do it. They must see it as an offence, so that they stay poor in cities they can't afford. Blah blah .. their methods are painfully obvious, but clever all the same.

 

Trump is not President, Biden is your President

 

Trouble is, the Left wants to judge a President on how much he is liked and not what he does. Obama was well liked. Considered one of the best 10 Presidents we ever had. Yet his economy was terrible. His fighting ISIS was a disgrace. On the flip side, Trump is the worst President ever according to the Left. Yet he had one of, if not the best economy we ever had, except for the war year in WWII. He had more Blacks and Hispanics working than any time in our history. He rebuilt our military Obama let go to hell and strengthen NATO. Fix the VA where over the years thousands of our veterans died trying to get in and get good health care. Gave convicts a program to give them a new lease on life. Allowed the terminally ill to get experimental medicine not yet approved by the FDA, that might save their life, or at least allow them to live longer. Started programs to give single mothers help with child care and a program to give people with little or no skill job training so they could earn more. There is so much more he did. But his personality sucked so that is the only thing the Left can see.

 

Here is one of his better achievements. During trade talks with China, China kept trying to screw us and Trump wouldn't have it and said if China doesn't start being fair, he would put on much higher tariffs. China came back and said if you do, we will withhold the vital ingredients you need in over 80% of the drugs you need to keep people alive and out of pain. Trump didn't give in, instead he got Kodak Chemical Co, that wasn't in very good shape herself and gave them a loan of around 800 billion dollars to make a lot of those ingredients that China makes. It's good for America and good for Kodak.

   In a deal aimed at reducing U.S. reliance on China, the federal government announced Tuesday that it plans to give Eastman Kodak a $765 million loan to start producing the chemical ingredients ...

“Kodak is proud to be a part of strengthening America’s self-sufficiency in producing the key pharmaceutical ingredients we need to keep our citizens safe,” said Kodak Executive Chairman Jim Continenza. “By leveraging our vast infrastructure, deep expertise in chemicals manufacturing, and heritage of innovation and quality, Kodak will play a critical role in the return of a reliable American pharmaceutical supply chain.”

“If we have learned anything from the global pandemic, it is that Americans are dangerously dependent on foreign supply chains for their essential medicines,” said Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy at the White House Dr. Peter Navarro. “This DFC-Kodak partnership is a big win for the use of President Trump’s DPA powers, a big win for New York, and a huge step forward towards American pharmaceutical independence.”

 

Weird worshippers of one pathetic dude swallow the most unpalatable things.

His goons (whom he told he loved after their attack on the police defending democracy) actually believed in a vast, nationwide conspiracy to steal a "landslide!" from the Cry Baby Loser, and nearly a year later, there isn't even a single suspect?

So sad.

 

This has got to be the most humorous thread! Defending this disastrous administration has to tax every brain cell imaginable.

 

Neither of them are 'my' president. I'm not American.

 

ok, did not know that, sorry, now I understand

 

Well NB I'll put up Trumps record as President over Obama's 8 years and Biden isn't looking good after just 10 months.

 

Seriously? All this time and you didn't know?
