You idiot. The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates three times since this trade war started and has pumped billions into the economy trying to manipulate the value of the dollar and stir inflation.

Currency manipulation is a constant thing with the US federal reserve.


And it's a constant thing with China... When our inflation isn't hit, and we are purchasing the same amount of good, but collecting billions in tariffs along the way, China is devaluing their currency even more than we are. You couldn't pass Econ 101 at this point.

There is no end to being PC. The media has seen to that. Hallmark going gay next year? I rest my case. Trump is not trying to end something that is unendable, he just chooses not to participate with that particular crowd. Millions respect him for that and anyone that says they are wrong for supporting him for that respect, well, they are being somewhat over judgmental imo.

Yes his tax cuts look good.

SCOTUS too. You forgot a slew of Federal Court appointments there IB.

He got us out of Syria. Has proposed a 3k reduction in Afghanistan and is putting pressure on NATO to comply with spending goals. Talks with NK. New trade deals with Canada and Mexico(or did you prefer NAFTA?)

I like the concept of Space Force we will see how it pans out.

I like he is trying to address some aspects of border security.

Plenty to not like and plenty of aspects of DJT's personality to not care for but these are all well known.

I believe most people voted for DJT for:
SCOTUS appointments.
Reduce illegal immigration.
Send Hillary packing.
Better trade agreements.

He is doing well on those and losing the most likable President contest.

We will see in 2020 what matters.

You are just full of shite.

Since December of 2016 the CMB/USD has changed from 6.90 CMB to 7.0CMB. During that same period it traded as strong as 6.3 CMB in April of 2018.

Currency manipulation is a stupid argument for pro tariff people simply because it just isn't true.

There was currency manipulation by both countries but to say it favored China over the entire period is simply not true.

You must have read that in some "fake news" website.

I haven’t seen an increase in my cost of living the past 3 years

I have seen an increase in pay due to competitive job market and lower tax burden

hardly any difference. Each country is saying some part of the deal is better for some industry important to their country. It really means very little changes EXCEPT for the change Pelosi was able to make to further appease Unions---changes a well run administration would have been avoided as the vote would been last Fall while the republicans had control of the House. It was a huge organizational failure. Ross should have been fired.

screw that massive budget hole

quote:

very little. He could make very big changes by simply putting forth a bill that would outlaw welfare for non citizens, make working illegals legal so long as they are not on the welfare rolls and have health insurance. Trumpkins scream they do not want "amnesty" but every day we do nothing is in fact another day of amnesty.

One thing is for sure Trump cannot build consensus on any issue.

He should have never rolled over in August on the debt ceiling without something major.

He is in a lot of ways all talk and no action.

Being that neither the House nor the Senate wanted him elected he has done a fantastic job. You judge him as if he was the chosen candidate of both parties.

Your reasoning is childlike in its depth.

As long as our two main political parties continue to fight each other instead of addressing REAL issues, we will be stuck in the shitty situation we are currently in..


I don’t see it ever changing

What is you want done that you expect him to accomplish?

He didn't kill Obamacare.

He didn't build a wall.

He didn't get us out of the ME.

He didn't get us a Golden health care plan.

He didn't do anything for the average American company or consumer with the trade wars.

He made US manufacturers that use steel in their final products less competitive.

USMCA will make cars more expensive and that was his largest change over NAFTA.

Look he is a blow hard. Just yesterday is said a dead democrat was looking up from hell. What did that accomplish?

Do you think it helped conservative efforts by the administration to make fun of Pelosi's false teeth? It plays to the red necks just like she plays to the leftist loonies.

He is not a conservative. Never was.

I stand by my thoughts on DJT and what he has accomplished so far with much more possible.

And the cold hard fact is IB this country is better off today and tomorrow with DJT as President vs Bush or Hillary.

And going forward into 2024 it will be better off still vs any of the dnc candidates

Why would any intelligent person think I have any affinity for a communist.

You see I am against big government and heavy taxes and planned economies that some in power today such as Mr. Navarro and Mr. Ross support. I am sorry you agree with those kind of freedom robbing things those two advocate—-both democrats BTW.

Trump has accomplished a lot in three years, especially considering he's been fighting the establishment the entire time.

If you are done voting, that's probably a good thing.
