    No, he wasn't elected because the mean widdle libruls were mean to you or did minor property damage.

    He won because he gamed the system, winning the electoral college but losing the popular vote by a good margin.

    Socialized medicine, education, and strict gun control work in every other western country and work much better than in the United States. But republicans refuse to acknowledge this is the case, and instead point to hypotheticals for why they "could never work anywhere" rather than looking at why they work where they do. Their thoughts on the matter seem to be to plug their ears and pretend nothing is wrong.
    I live in such a country. Trust me its not that great. Where do you think the government is getting the money for said programs, hint : its not the big business.

    Is that the "appealing ideology of the right?" Blame others, offer solutions that ultimately do nothing, and then lie about what does and doesn't work?
    The appeal of the right/moderates these days is we are moving away from ideology and are becoming more pragmatic. The left in my country keeps insisting that immigration the EU , globalism and the the euro all work fine when it obviously it doesn't. Thats why you see such a surge of the right in Europe.

    Nobody is saying climate change is the end of the world. If you believe that that has been said, you've been mislead.

    It's a problem to civilization as we know it. A problem that we have the capacity to solve, (and had the capcity to subvert, but that ship has sailed) but that requires acknowledging that it's caused by humans.

    So what are the right trying to do to stop climate change? Hmmm... "pretend it doesn't exist?"
    No i said build nuclear power until the transition to green energy is complete. To bad even mentioning Nuclear power causes the left go totally apeshit.


    In fact, let me ask you: what is "Trump's Plan?" And I don't mean some tocuhy-feely MAGA bullshit, I mean, actual, political positions designed to move the United States forward. Because all of his talk of trade wars and tax cuts are all projected to negatively affect the American economy. And even on the small scale, if he's "for American jobs," why isn't he hiring American workers at HIS OWN Mar-a-lago resorts? If he was all for "data security" that Hillary Clinton supposedly neglected, why is he keeping conversation with world leaders on his own private phone? If Trump is for "making America great," why is a rising tide of Russian influence being found in various people associated with his campaign?

    Really because the last numbers show that the USA economy is doing pretty great. And trump managed to gain a favorable deal wit the EU a few days ago.

    You really must explain this one to me because im completely confused by this. Because the USA is one of the greatest steel producers of the world and import a ton of iron ore mostly from Australia. Why would the USA suddenly increase iron ore production and why is this a bad thing. After all it means more jobs and less trade deficit and the usa has all the knowledge and material to expand said ore production without problem.

    Second, the "right" did plenty of awful things when Obama was elected. The set fire to likenesses of him all over the country, threatened to kill him daily, wore clothes and made flags of him and his family being hung, etc.

    As for all of his awfulness that you seem to be blind to, here's a quick list that was stopped after seven month. Meaning, after this tiny list, there's been an additional entire year of insanity after it. If you'd like that list as well, let me know.

    Sounds like a pretty good first year or so...

    The awful things done to Obama? Yes of course there are the extremists that are absolutely wrong and should be condemned. I condemn ANY group that would be so vulgar, racist, and violent on ANY side. But Trump deals with this DAILY from the mainstream media and the Hollywood elite... not some nutjobs.

    Trump has been doing some really great things... and putting America first. It's about time, and I look forward to what he can accomplish in the next 6 years!

    An executive order can’t change the electoral college. Are you that ignorant about the constitution? Sad.
    And neither can this supposed majority you claim the left have. That is sad.

    The very Constitution you claim I am ignorant about, is what we followed that made Donald Trump president. By your own admission, he is duly elected and holds the office we wanted him in. You should be proud and allow him to represent the people who voted for him on the policies he ran on.

    Our system worked when Obama was elected, it worked when Trump was elected.

    I am happy this happened, you know why? BECAUSE! Nothing fires up Trumps voter base when people do these things! He may get a pat on the back in jail for doing it but he will get a pat on the back for me when Trump wins again.

    Ok so the only two ways to reduce a trade deficit is to either sell more items made in the US on the global market (export) or produce items in demand domestically at the same or lower price than what is available on the global market. Due to being an advanced economy with large portions of our workforce being educated and having large disposable incomes, we have offshored many jobs and industries due to globalization, a consequence of technology and global market forces. To reverse this trend would take a complete unraveling of our current economy; a wholesale regression until we hit the same quality of life, disposable income, education levels, and technological sophistication as China, India.

    Um, less than half the people voted for him, he does NOT represent America. You should educate yourself. It really stings, doesn't it. His polling is consistently less than 50%, people do not like him.

    Please provide proof otherwise.

    So you are saying that in order to compete with the chinese/indians you have to lower the life standard to match .Sorry mate i cannot agree . Australia which has a very high living standard produces more iron ore then India and china combined. Furthermore only reason why Chinese steel is so cheap is because the Chinese companies are heavily subsidized by their government . If not nobody would buy their crappy steel. And the last argument is that the EU also has massive trade tariffs on Chinese steal and we do just fine.

    But it doesnt matter because it will never escalate this far. Trump uses the threat of trade wars to get better deals from both china and EU it will never escalate further because china and the EU realize the cannot win . But the way goes about his business is hamfisted to be sure

    Trump DOES represent America... he was duly elected. I know that hurt so very badly for some people to swallow... but it is fact.

    Current approval rating is 45%. 45 out of 100 Americans like what he is doing. This is pretty darn good actually.

    Obama, for much of his terms didn't fare much better... in fact much of his time was spend under 50% and often less than 45%. And he was "the amazing president" who got a Nobel Peace Prize before he did anything.

    https://news.gallup.com/poll/116479/...-approval.aspx


    Say what you will... but the country is doing just fine... in fact better, than it has in the past 25 years.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Stock market higher than ever... nearly 35% greater than Obama's best levels.

    Unemployment has never been lower in 17 years!

    Our country is finally putting a stop to trade deals where other countries line up for our dollars for their crap products, but won't buy ours.

    Our country is now expecting other countries to pull their weight in world affairs. No longer do they get to stand behind the might of America, happy to expend our sons and daughters to maintain world peace, but not providing a proportionate amount of support themselves.

    Our military is being built back to what it should be. No longer apologizing for being a superpower... we are reinvesting in our country's security to make sure no other country represents a significant threat to our way of life.

    Immigration is slowly being tackled. Allowing us to secure our borders, stop criminals and terrorists that would do us harm, and eventually overhauling the system so that we bring in quality people who want to become Americans and adopt constitution as their own.

    Is the the greatest president ever lived? Hell no... but man... with an almost 100% resistance from democrats, a constant barrage of attacks from an insane media, and a completely fruitless investigation designed to de-legitimize his presidency... He has probably done better than any president could (almost as if he doesn't get mired down by swamp politics).

    Say what you will... but he is EVERY bit as effective a president as Obama... but in a much more America oriented way.

    You fixed nothing. It's a false equivalency to compare Antifa to the NeoNazi/white supremacists. Last I checked the only person to die at one of these protests was run over by one of those 'very fine' people on the right. Also, it's not Antifa showing up with semiautomatic weapons, tactical vests, etc.
