    Bottom line -- people like the results Trump is achieving for our country. He is making a long line of presidents look inept. He will be easily re-elected.

    He will if Trump can get his achievements out. The Democrats are doing their best to trash him and tell nothing good he is doing.

    It's also time he tones it down and quit trashing people who disagrees with him. It was great in the beginning, but getting on a lot of people's nerves lately. We need to get the none committed vote. They want to see a little more Presidential from him.

    Trump ain't going to tone down anything. He is who he is all the time. What you see is what you get and there is no "image" or anything "phony". No talking down to anyone or lecturing. Actually a breath of fresh air and many politicians could learn from Trump. Actually I think he's easy to like.

    Speaking as someone from another country

    This is the polar opposite of the truth



    He was laughed at at the U.N.

    I don’t think that has ever happened to a US president before

    Remarkable post. To believe Trump has made us "respected" in the world defies logic, data, facts, and reality. I think a wake up moment for those that believes such ideas should have come when Trump was laughed at in the UN. One may not dig the UN but that's a pretty good indicator of how the rest of the world sees us.

    The idea that Trump made NATO members to pay up is stuff and nonsense. NATO members don't "pay up" for anything but they do invest in their militaries. That increased investment is right on track as agreed to in a contract signed with Obama in 2016. Trump has done nothing, nothing at all, to make the world respect us. North Korea? A joke. Dump the TPP? A disaster. Ignore the Paris Climate Accords? A big one finger salute. Abandoning the Kurds? A national disgrace.

    Most of the Western World has now written off the United States as a reliable partner and are looking to the EU to take over. Outside the US, nations are inking deals with China and Russia instead of America because of our "America First" attitude. Internationally, Trump is seen as a moron (he informed India's PM that they were lucky India didn't border China!).

    I mean common.'

    Ummm . . . that's why NATO obeyed Trump and began finally paying their fair share; because they DON'T respect him?

    I have never considered myself or been considered by friends or family to be a liberal

    only trumpers accuse me of being liberal because I refuse to drink the kool aid served by trump..

    being semi retired I have had the money and time to travel to many foreign countries

    I traveled through western Europe to eastern Europe on the way to the world cup in Russia

    a year later I traveled through Peru , Ecuador and Colombia

    I made a pledge before leaving on each journey to NOT discuss politics ..

    despite that I did not hesitate to reply when fellow travelers or locals asked where I was from, I would proudly say

    "I am from the United States"...

    most responses were jokes about trump

    yes trump has the worlds attention the same as here

    but he is NOT respected and below are a few words I became familiar with

    LOUCO, FOU, PAZZO, TREL'OS, PISIKH, NEBUN, VERRUCKT

    and in south american I heard the statement "trump es LOCO" on a daily basis

    my guess is the people that claim the USA is more respected with trump have never been out of the country

    there was an exception in Germany where I did see a few trump supporters

    they all had bald heads and lots of tattoos ..they were not real friendly though

    Why do so many ignore Trump got elected and with his historic record will be re-elected. That my friend is what counts. Go ahead and make fun of the fat orange illiterate twitter as he enjoys living in the White House and is MAGA. Trump don't care about the jokes about him, I don't care (some I like), and the voters don't care. Why do you argue with success?

    Which promises were kept? If you mean his promise to make his cronies at Mar-a-Lago richer, then you would be correct. He promised to built a wall and that Mexico would pay for that wall. Where is that wall? He promised to repeal and replace Obamacare, did he do that? He promised to eliminate the national debt in 8 years but instead increased it by a trillion dollars. Did he bring back the coal industry, did he revitalize the automobile industry, did he help any of the farmers with his trade tariffs?

    Seriously, you people need to pull back the curtain of denial that you insist on hiding behind and face reality. The entire world is laughing at this country because of Trump. He is absolutely reviled in many countries including this one because he's basically an unprincipled racketeer, and authoritarian.

    I won't read a single word from Trump's reelection campaign website. We get enough propaganda as it is without reading through some verbal vomit on his own website. Just glancing, without actually reading at the things listed there, I can refute each of them. There's no point because you've been swallowed into the abyss of the Trump black hole.

    I read the above trump websight

    more kool aid for the cult best describes it

    below is how the non kool aid drinkers see it..

    1. Jobs and economy....lots of low paying jobs...and the national debt has increased one trillion

    2. foreign policy....he has insulted our allies and praised our enemies and used foreign help to cheat an election

    3. regulations....lack of regulations is a better description...

    4. law and justice ...another non topic....he has thumbed his nose at the law and ignored justice

    5. government accountability ..another joke....does saying "you're fired" equal being accountable??

    6. immigration....billions spent on a useless wall that can be scaled with a rope in 5 minutes by a child

    7. national security...how many national security advisers has he fired?? or quit because of trumps ignorance??

    8. land agriculture....he has propped up the farmers with $28 billion because he cannot confirm a trade deal

    9. energy and environment....he says global warming is a chinese hoax ,,burn more coal

    10 health care....ACA or obama care is still in place

    11. social programs...he want to decrease all entitlement programs ..except the ones that benefit the top 1%

    12 veterans....trump thinks veterinarians should all be donating their time to those people that fought to keep him safe

    bottom line..


    TRUMP IS AN IDIOT!!
