I hated Biden, but I didn't bitch about him every single day, multiple times. You people have issues. Put the internet down and go for a walk.
I promise you there is more to life than crying all the time.

I find abortion disgusting but Trump already did the right thing on it at a federal level by sending it back to the states.
I agree running on it nationally is suicide
Ron destroyed his chances via state policy.
And abortion can easily become a national issue. That's why the politician's stances matter, and why Trump has advocated for relatively liberal positions (which is a ban after 12-15 weeks with the regular exceptions)

Principles are nice, but rooting against a president that more closely matches our principles because he isn't perfect is obnoxious.

Trump's schtick of flamethrowing and making enemies when there was no need to, only to complain when those people he alienated didn't help dig him out of holes he created later, is still fascinating. We're seeing the same shite with Europe and his war in Iran.
What is fascinating is how people do not understand this…

How? Rowe has been dispatched to the state level where that decision should be made. Why would it ever need to be considered nationally again?

Rowe created a right to abortion (out of thin air)
We based policy on this right for 50 years or so. Since there was a right established in this time frame, there was no need for any federal action on the issue. Rescinding Rowe removes that right, which sent us back to the status quo of 50 years ago, which was state-based.
There is nothing that prevents federal action on the issue today.

Such a waste of words! Lol
You TDS infected weaklings just can't understand that YOU ARE WRONG!
Everything y'all predict about Trumps FAILS! Yet, y'all continue with this silliness!
Serious question:
At what point do y'all grow tired of being wrong?

Republicans will vote for principles over him. Democrats will vote for anything against him.
Posted on 4/10/26 at 8:47 am to SlowFlowPro
Oh you’re talking about in a situation where the Dems had enough control and the White House to pass a federal law through Congress that is real not a USC opinion?
They could try I guess if they ever get that power again; I don’t think they will though. Pass that law I mean, not never have power again

Trump is not the reason your list remains. The blame clearly resides with our dysfunctional congress. Trump, no matter what the left says, is not a king. Have you ever seen a public figure subjected to so much lawfare, assassination attempts and subterfuge from his own party? I haven't.

I did to
But there is a difference
Trump was touted as the one who would change things, finally, preventing the country from going off a cliff
He was the only one
So, yeah, I have a right to complain when I realize there was never going to be anyone while having cult members pissing on everyone’s back and saying it’s raining

Trump is still actively trying to deliver what he promised despite the constant pushback and activist judges stalling
quote:
Trump has actively pursued several major 2024 campaign promises:
Tougher immigration enforcement (more arrests, detentions, policy changes)
New tariffs and “America First” trade policies
Rolling back climate regulations and supporting oil/gas production
Ending or reducing federal DEI programs
Expanding presidential authority and reshaping federal agencies
In many cases, action has been taken—but results are mixed:
Deportations and enforcement increased, but not at the scale he promised
Some immigration changes (like birthright citizenship limits) are tied up in court
Government restructuring efforts are ongoing but facing legal and institutional resistance
Tariffs are in place, but have caused economic debate (some benefits, some downsides)
Economic promises have had partial follow-through:
Some tax/spending and energy policies were implemented
Inflation is lower than earlier peaks, but everyday costs (housing, food, etc.) are still a major issue
The promise of rapid, broad cost-of-living relief hasn’t been fully achieved
Foreign policy has not matched campaign expectations:
The Ukraine war was not ended quickly as promised
The U.S. is now involved in an Iran conflict, weakening the “no new wars” claim
Broader global stability goals have had mixed or unclear results
Other proposals are incomplete or stalled:
Large-scale “deep state” overhaul is ongoing but not fully realized
Some ideas have been delayed, blocked, or quietly dropped
Overall takeaway:
Trump has clearly acted on many of his core priorities
But full results are uneven, with legal challenges and limits on implementation.

I think it’s fine for you to complain where you find him wanting.
You don’t think he’s done anything good though?

It’s the fact he has reversed course on a lot of them. AI and H1B is about to ravage American jobs while inflation is off the charts. Not very “American” first.

This guy sums up what is actually happening pretty well and is a good counter to the OP's cries
I don't disagree that Trump has a lot of forces working against him.
What I do disagree with is that another president wouldn't be able to navigate those forces in a better way, or that Trump doesn't bring some of this on himself. Hyper focusing on something like the wall when you can save a lot of time and get real wins on curbing immigration by expanding ICE and CBP and equipping them with modern tech instead of building a wall that can be tunneled under, climbed, etc for example. He could have gotten that done with a quickness and moved on to other things.

But both are actually happening.
We are buying up large warehouses for detention and increasing agents as part of the effort.
Trump 2.0 didn't stop at the wall or hyper focus on it as you are suggesting

Agreed. He's proven not to be the guy we were eager to vote for although in his defense, he hasn't exactly had a functional Congress to help him.
I get the gist of what y'all are saying. Some of it is truth.
But as much as people like to claim otherwise, he is not a king. We have opposition in this country. That opposition plays dirty and they're good at riling up their base. Unfortunately, a lot of that opposition is within his own party.
I wish more would have been done up to this point. Especially a few perp walks from the previous admin.
I wish we weren't in this war. But I do believe this war was going to happen one way or the other, and sooner rather than later. I'm comforted having him calling the shots. Because he plays to win. He isn't there to "not lose". I don't know how it'll turn out, but I'll be confident we did everything we could reasonably do to knock Iran down, and I'll especially be confident that political ramifications played a minimal role in things. Any other politicians first priority would have been politics rather than simply winning.
I think the border being essentially locked is a huge win all by itself.
And I, as someone mentioned above, also think he's the best president in my lifetime. I can respect a politician who marches to his own drum and DGAF about the politics or optics. But I also reserve the right to play armchair QB when all is said and done. Thankfully we have the internet. Because I think history will reflect very kindly on his presidency.

He's made some changes to H1B but I agree he should do more
What would you like him to do about AI? Limit it and fall behind the rest of the world?
