One thing's for sure, he catches heat from all sides on the Twitter thing. I say I have no problem with it whatsoever, but that may well be because I'm even more flawed than he is.

People like you need to learn how to read usernames. Are all people with “geaux” and “tigers” the same people?

Actually no. Donald J. Trump is the best President we've had since Ronald Reagan.....and I go back to FDR. I plan to be the first in line on November 3, 2020 to vote for Donald J. Trump.

The reason why he's hated so much is because he's not really part of the elites that have held power in Washington for decades. He's a businessman turned public servant. He ran a very large business, he met payroll, he is respected by the folks who worked for him. He took care of his people.

MAGA!

Exhibit A of the type of idiot who deep down thinks "everything was OK before that meddling Trump got involved in Politics".....

Fking Scooby-Doo level shite from the guy who claims to be the smartest person in the room.

You mean "fighting back".

He's a counter-puncher, that's what he does.

You obviously don't understand how Clinton gave away our manufacturing superiority. This played right into foreign leader hands. You also don't understand how the Clinton/Newtron tax "cuts" paid manufacturers to shutdown plants for a period of 5 years and move production to overseas. Bush didn't cause their demolition, it was just delayed to be on his watch.

Economic power means as much as military power in geopolitics.

He’s the best foreign policy president in my lifetime (and that includes Reagan). We are not in new wars. We are less involved in war, reduced impact, and not a puppet.

im not holding my nose but like all people...there is room for improvement
Trump absolutely understands that the future of America and ...the future of a free world is how China is handled. That alone will get me to vote for him

I think he is not great when it comes to foreign policy


While under pretty much constant investigation for faux charges he:

1. Brought China to heel with a tariff war. Had COVID not hit when it did we would probably be well into the 2nd round of re-negotiations on our trade with them (maybe even 3rd round).

2. Reached out more to NK than any other President. He ultimately failed to achieve anything with this BUT he proved categorically for any future administrations that NK cannot be negotiated with unless you're willing to just give in on everything.

3. Renegotiated NAFTA.

4. Forced the other NATO nations to start paying more of their dues.

5. Pulled us out of the disastrous Paris Agreement.

6. Pulled us out of the craptastic TPP.

7. Pulled us out of the Iran deal.

8. Put the clamps back down on Cuba.

9. Moved the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

Those are just the very generalized highlights and all done in under 4 years and ONLY the items on the international level (ie: nothing to do with taxation, Unemployment, the wall, the VA, etc). What President in our lifetimes has done that much (much less more) in just their first term?

He doesn't "hate" Democrats, he "hates" people putting party politics over the good of the country (this includes Republicans as well).

I can agree on the Tweeting, but only to a certain extent. Because of the rampant bias in the media his Tweeting is often the only way he can get his stance out on something without some ridiculous slant to it. I would rather see more polish to it, but we can't all be a Reagan when it comes to communicating.

As far as foreign policy, whether we like it or not, the world is connected and intertwined like never before. With China, he is exactly right to do everything and say everything he has said. But in a lot of ways, he is alienating and attacking our closest allies and I can see that being a very bad thing.


So basically, you don't like Trump because he's not globalist enough? I don't care who he offends, or tweets at, as long as he pushes back against ALL globalism, i'm perfectly happy.

I didn’t vote in 2016.

I will enthusiastically support and vote for DJT in this election.
