Mega-Thread: Trump Focused Discussion

Has Trump had any significant military milestones?

The largest conventional bomb was dropped in afghanistan under his watch.

The largest conventional bomb was dropped in afghanistan under his watch.

Which was not a thing he was told about before the military did it. Nor is it actually a significant event.

I would argue the cruise missile strike on that airbase in Syria (or apparently Iraq, since Trump wasn't clear on that point) was actually extremely significant, and it forced the Russians to reconsider their operations a fair bit. Since then we have dozens of lethal engagements with Russian mercenaries, turning Syria into a full proxy war. That isn't necessarily a good thing, but it is a major milestone.

He defeated Isis, mostly by saying they are now defeated.

It was me being facetious.

Hilarious watching former Trump supporters realize just how fucking stupid they've been the whole time:

Let's not pretend they've actually learned anything, and will assuredly be fooled by the next elephant sized conman to whisper sweet nothings into their vacuous ears.

Democrats have held our government hostage for weeks, but thanks to President @realDonaldTrump's leadership, the government will reopen and federal workers will be paid in the next few days.

This isn't surprising in the least. There's been a month of GOP supporters blaming Democrats for the shutdown claiming that they are the ones hurting the federal workers by not rolling over and giving Trump his wall money. Not unexpected for the GOP to jump right on that bullshit and keep it going.

By withdrawal he meant to replace the old ones with new ones.

Has Trump had any significant military milestones?

Even if he follows through eventually, it seems extremely foolish to trust Trump. Wait until he does it, then gloat. For all we know, by the time the actual withdrawal starts, Pence would be president and the whole thing halted.

How can we monetize hitting these people with facts all day? The MSM seems to be afraid of them.

I'm sure it'd be easier to monetize hitting these people, period.

I'm sure one of the MMA/Boxing channels will televise it.

I know you are kidding, but Webster’s trolling Trump is monetizing with facts. It’s a direct driver for hits to the dictionary.

US economy lost at least $6 billion during shutdown, according to S&P https://t.co/IFUIM75ywY https://t.co/Lysjt695pX

The only money the Trump administration has made with any of its decisions is the Mueller investigation.

As we knew would come to pass, the GOP are devouring themselves from within:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...cid=spartanntp

The TL;DR is basically Republicans throwing shit at each other and Trump over the 35-day Shutdown that put 800k people through hell for absolutely nothing and TANKING the public opinion of the GOP in general.

I'm betting Trump unwittingly minted a few new Democrats from the people affected. I know for a fact he and the GOP in general lost a ton of support from some of my conservative friends (anecdotal, but true whether or not you choose to believe me).

That title alone really makes you wonder why they didn't think of that two years ago. How did they not see this coming?

It isn't just 800k though. It is 800k federal employees and their families. The shutdown personally affected millions of people, not to mention those inconvenienced by airports, museums and national parks closing.

yo mericans explain this to me please.

in 2020 you have a census right? so there will be loads of gerrymandering after that. Who has the potential to gain more, gop or dems? and can one side effectively lock the other out for a generation?

Trump’s team’s effort to add a citizenship question, implies they are concerned with what will happen. Supreme Court refused to listen to it...

Edit: The last election implies places like California and NY, might get a few more electoral votes.

There are relatively few states that are gerrymandered in dems favor. There are a BUNCH gerrymandered in the GOPs favor. Just getting rid of a lot of the gerrymanders would be a huge gain for the dems. So, essentially because gerrymandering already favors the GOP so much, they don't stand to gain much no matter what happens, but are open to huge losses.

Edit: figured I might as well add a source. 4x as many gop favored gerrymanders as dem favored gerrymanders.

I see trump is tweeting out lies and bull bleep numbers about illegal immigration. Amazing once more the "Woke" trumpkins who swear they know the real news or the truth, follow this buffoon.

I'm steadfast in saying "yes, trump is a compulsive liar", but more likely the con man knows who his marks are and are truly this gullible. You foolish trumpkins.
