That’s a great example, and it saddens me to know how many people don’t understand why.

Where are all of Trump products made? Why not have them made in America and give Americans jobs? I appreciate your post, but you are falling for Trumps, “I’ll tell you whatever you would like to hear.”
I have no idea what products the Trump organization sells or where they're made but whatever it is it's a pittance when compared to GM, Amazon, Apple, Google, etc. Trump's products wouldn't move the needle on the trade imbalance.

6 of the 10 people 'forgot their wallet.' The other 4 people split the bill $15 each. The waitress comes back and says, 'we're having a special, the bill is only $40. Here's $20 back.' The $20 gets split up between the 4 people who paid the bill. If you didn't pay anything, you don't get a dime. 'Party of intellectuals' my arse
60% of your friends contribute nothing to society but are only there for your charity? And the $20 you got back isn’t a refund, it’s money that was never due the bar due to their happy hour.

outside of the tax cuts. can you tell me the conservative policy that Trump has put forth that has cut waste, fraud or the abuse of the american tax payer?
I don't have all day, but I'll drop a few. Starting with the reasons I voted for him.
#1 - Stop the Muslim invasion. (Done, and we don't have to pay [in multiple ways] for their "death to America" mentality)
#2 - Lock Her Up. (Complete FAILURE by Trump, but at least the criminals aren't in charge and siphoning pallets of cash to enemies abroad and within)
#3 - Build the Wall. (Progressing, even with a corrupt Legislative Branch)
Cut all funding to Pakistan, terrorist haven.
Dumped the Paris Accord, which was nothing but an Obama kickback scheme.
Reunification of the Korean Peninsula, which will save us a ton of cash over time.
Like I said, I don't have all day and you get the picture. However, the Leftists trolls will continue this BS thread for awhile. So have fun being the board contrarians. I have some snow to plow in the driveway, dogs to escort around the property perimeter, and a Thanksgiving Dinner to prepare for the local VFW post.
Prayers for your Leftists souls.
Edited for missing word (Peninsula).

I wasn’t being passive at all. I’m telling you directly that you lack self awareness. You have already admitted in this thread that you are upset about the tax cut, not for an fiscal reason...but purely because you are envious of the one percent. Again...I’m not being passive. That is a very very poor quality. Likely means you don’t have the smarts or the ability to ever make t to the one percent. Sad.

I make a point to try to engage every progressive post on this board with well thought out discussion and 9/10 I never even get a response. Please don't be hypocritical.

Conservatives do not idolize their politicians. Liberals do. Trump was elected because of how much of a normal person he is. Specifically because he's not a polished empty suit mouth piece.

Everything he speaks to is in generalities.
As do most presidents of most countries throughout history. Trump is unquestionably more honest and open than Obama was.

The corporate welfare...millionaire handout tax cut proves to be more and more of a mistake, but avg Joe Trumper thinks it’s benefitting them.
Average Trump supporters hate bailouts, have been railing on GM for their stupid business decisions, and think Amazon can do better, and are tired of the subsidies going to them. Do you have a link to a bunch of conservative sites and people defending GM, Amazon, bailouts, and welfare?
There are plenty of things I disagree with Trump on. Just yesterday he said he wants to establish state run media and most conservatives on this board immediately attacked him for it.

Was that the currency manipulation that 45 later said wasn’t happening?

Do you consider the $12 million he gave to farmers a bailout when he harmed them with tariffs that are crushing soy beans?

This already exists in an obscure way...name a President in the last 40 years that has directly work with one specific news outlet to shape all his policies and he has hired many to work in his administration. Those that attacked him on his plan for state run media bring this up?

So you’re suggesting cutting government subsidies is now against free market capitalism?
See today’s closing price of GM and tell me if he’s hurting the shareholders and the free market. Also, before you start the narrative about the layoffs, the price was actually boosted off of that...it only dove after he talked about directly hurting the company. This is actually the whole point of this thread.

Finally you get to the point. You have whined about “trumpkins”, tax cuts, tariffs, the 1%, soy beans, foxnews, trump products, being triggered, debt, and moral decay....and it’s only page 3.
If you weren’t able to regurgitate debunked talking points this thread would be three posts long. Why didn’t you just start the thread by making the observation that you say “is the point of the thread” instead of throwing any trite, lazy talking point you could think of against the wall?

Yes and I am against it.

Soy beans exist specifically because of government subsidies and the entire crop is useless garbage for the most part.
