I was SUPER pumped his first few months when DOGE was exposing all the fraud and he was saying he was going after Fraud along with his immediate execution of deporting tons of illegals

He was 100% spot on

And then he…suddenly stopped it all

Then started acting like Bush

It’s more the combination of both. A lot of those AI developers are currently coming from India. Because it is cheap.

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


Where am I rooting against him? Calling someone out isn’t rooting against them, it’s holding them accountable

I would LOVE to see him reverse course and do what he said he would do

I feel like either strategy hasn't worked out well for those who have tried it.

I will concede there are several situations that haven't fully played out yet, though.

You're all over the place. Can you form a coherent retort?

FYI, as has been proven recently, if you stop or make H1B more costly, the tech companies will just build centers in India. Bengaluru is known as the Silicon Valley of India and it is growing

Outside of massive tariffs on tech companies, there is no other way to stop them from offshoring and Congress is trying to take away Trump's tariff authority because they are all bought and paid for but Trump will get the blame by people like you and the OP

Sure, I'm saying he wasted time during Trump 1 on it. It was just an example of him getting in his own way.

Man... remember when Supreme court candidates couldnt define a woman, once proudly boastful sanctuary cities were crying about actually being a sanctuary, cities were on fire for riots, people were being arrested for being alone on a beach, people were forced to take vaccines they didn't want, the president was falling up stairs, world leaders were having to corral the US president, afghan people were falling off US transport planes, terrorists were handed billions of US assets, 9% inflation rates, high energy prices due to agenda alone, bailing out deadbeat student loan borrowers with tax money of people who either could not afford college or paid theirs off as agreed, having trannys in appointed roles, pathetic labor force participation rates, tranny and gay flags on embassies, mumbling out loud what was said in his earpiece "suuhloot tha Marines..", and beating Medicare.


Awesome times.

That’s a great list of things that he said he would do. If anything, I think Trump overestimated himself (which shouldn’t be difficult to believe at all), and many of those things are going to be difficult, if not impossible, to achieve because of the opposition from the political ruling class, I.e. the uniparty and the money behind them.

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?

Doesn't have to be a DEM and Congress isn't required.

A conservative President could enact EOs that would make loose abortion laws at the state level very expensive for states, effectively outlawing abortion.

See, you can't even form a retort to facts

You people want to argue how bad Trump is but when faced with what is actually happening and how Congress, judges, etc., all stop him, you can't form a counterargument.

Everything I have said is happening.

Google, IBM, Microsoft, and others have all announced massive investments in AI centers in India recently.

All 3 of those have also recently laid off thousands of Americans

Trump can limit H1B, but outside of discouraging offshoring somehow, you are not going to stop tech companies from hiring cheaper Indians.

One way would be through tariffs but Congress, partially led by a Massie-backed bill, is trying to take away Trump's tariff powers.


quote:

Key Details on Massie's Actions:

Procedural Vote Revolt: In February 2026, Massie and Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) pushed back against House GOP leadership to block a "rule" that would have protected Trump's tariffs from being overturned by Congress.

Voting Against Tariffs: He was one of the six Republicans who voted on February 11, 2026, to pass a resolution directly overturning tariffs imposed by the President
.
Constitutional Stance: Massie has expressed frustration that Congress has not used its constitutional authority to check the executive branch on trade, telling American Progress that Congress should directly vote on tariff implementation.




At the end of the day you all blame Trump and cheer on people like Massie

It's incredible. I just had a TDS guy in one of my friend group texts out of nowehere send some rant about Trump only did the Iran thing to distract from the Epstein files. At literally like 6:30 AM where he lives. They wake up and go to bed every night obsessed with their hatred of that man. It's crazy.

Please, moron who voted for Biden and would have voted for him again but instead voted for Kamala and Tampon Tim when they were selected for you by the party... What has Trump "screwed up?" State facts, not opinion.

You pathetic TDS bitch.

He said he is for H1B and AI. So nothing to “retort”

“Draining the Swamp” was an ethereal, even meaningless concept in the first place. But as far as the weak metaphor is concerned, the “Swamp” is more polluted and inhabited by even more harmful denizemns today…

There are those who are going to vote for Trump's endorsements regardless. But most people are going to vote their pocket books. But if we are talking mid terms, there are extremely blue districts and extremely red districts. Those aren't really in play. Pocket books will determine the toss ups.
