Trump Presidency and the Consequences

[wackypete2]

ho hum...

You and the media are just nitpicking every word he says. Most of the people who voted for him do not care if he makes a simple mistake or 2. Other Presidents made mistakes too...who cares.

The way trump talks is so mind numbing.

So far his simply broken previous pieces of work like climate agreement, environment agency funding, supporting abortion clinics or Obama care and now the Iran deal which like the Paris climate agreement other than US of A all other countries and allies think Iran is complying with agreement (except Israel and Sauidi Arabia - mustn't laugh).

Has this man made or contributed to any deals or agreements yet?

The great deal maker known for sh1tting over other peoples agreements and making none of his own.

The great aryan race finally produces a leader they are worthy of.

He's not stupid. He's paving his way out of so many awkward policy issues buy making sure he's got a multitude of other people he can blame. Politics isn't always about doing things, its about finding good excuses for not doing things and making it look like its these other awkward people's fault that you can't do anything.

Which works well because the point of political power is to keep it not spend it on risky initiatives.

He's not stupid.

No, just extraordinarily ignorant.

I wish he would do something useful like cleaning up the waste plastic in the oceans. Fish and other seafood are off the menu now because of the plastic in them.
1 in 3 mussels around the UK are contaminated for instance and it's getting worse.

(U.S. News & World Report) Despite President Donald Trump's asserted focus on job growth and the business environment, his administration is damaging the fundamentals undergirding U.S. economic growth. A slowdown seems likely because Trump's fractious months in office have already degraded the nation's business and investment environment.

Contrary to Trump's belief, controversy-generating reality television strategies do not generate good governance and growth. While the president promised Guam's governor that tourism would go up "tenfold" because of media attention from his Twitter tirades about North Korea, the numbers tell a different tale. The war of words cost Guam's tourism industry $9.5 million last month. It appears vacationers would prefer to avoid possibly atomic attractions.

Sustained economic growth and investment require stability, predictability, public integrity and a strong commitment to the rule of law. These fundamentals matter when investors examine opportunities. They must consider political risk – the odds that a changing political climate introduces new risks without additional returns. Without predictability and reliable law, investors and business leaders may hesitate to risk capital here. Many investment decisions require parties to trust that a "so-called judge," as Trump has said, will apply settled law in predictable ways. Stable immigration laws also enable businesses to recruit and compete for global talent. Shocks create dangers and force investors and businesses to slow down to assess risk. As dangers escalate, investment shifts overseas to more predictable jurisdictions.

Consider the investments imperiled by the Trump administration's announcement that it would end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrival program. The decision threatens to waste America's investment in educating hundreds of thousands of Dreamers. It also hurts American citizens doing business with them. Will deported Dreamers repay car loans, student loans, and credit cards if displaced to foreign nations? Their employers' investments in training may also be squandered. The decision may even drive up insurance premiums for Americans that do not interact directly with Dreamers by removing their insurance premiums from the pool.

Significant damage has already been done. Recall the Trump administration's prior showdown with the judicial branch over its controversial ban on travel from Muslim-majority nations. That tempest, with the president still tweeting about wanting a broader travel ban, may still affect international investments in the United States. Trump's first, hastily-written executive order surprised businesses and workers and generated significant costs. Fortunately, federal courts diminished the disruption and allowed business to resume. While it may be too costly for transnational businesses to suddenly withdraw from the United States, these moves may tip the strategic balance toward investing elsewhere when considering new long-term projects.

This uncertainty creates costs. Consider the costs generated by demonizing the Muslim community alone. Muslim individuals, institutions, and governments control approximately $11.5 trillion in wealth. They continually consider whether to buy or sell American assets. To put it in terms that this administration might understand – these investors may now balk at buying luxury real estate that they might not be able to visit.

The roiling uncertainty reverberates through the economy. Trump's immigration malice may even cause food prices to climb. Increased immigration raids and deportations may thrill Trump's base, but they hurt the business environment. Many farmers already feel the pain. California crops now rot in the fields without the labor supply to bring the food to market. As produce withers on the vine, prices increases may soon hit grocery stores nationwide.

To be sure, the administration's remaining supporters gesture limply toward stock market returns. But the stock market is not the only measure of the economy. If the market's history teaches us anything, it is that markets go up and down. A market correction may wait just over the horizon. Trump has promised to blame the judiciary if we experience another terrorist attack; who will he scapegoat when stock markets fall, the real estate market slows, or inflation takes off?

Trump's public tantrums and reckless governance style set fire to the foundations needed for sustained national economic growth. If the Trump administration continues to stoke fear, it may soon do exponential damage to the fundamental legal and cultural infrastructure that made America a great place to invest and do business.

The above post of dbPhoenix has many good points and is very relevant. Especially to the US citizens and their " old " allies.

What do many people think of Dump's efforts so far ?

In word

RUBBISH

The people deported from the US will form the nucleus of yet another but powerful enemy for the future.

I strongly suggest the idiot steps down or is pushed before he can do more damage !

We have a moral obligation to continue in our just cause, and we would bring more than shame on ourselves if we don’t. We will not thrive in a world where our leadership and ideals are absent. We wouldn’t deserve to.

To fear the world we have organized and led for three-quarters of a century, to abandon the ideals we have advanced around the globe, to refuse the obligations of international leadership and our duty to remain “the last best hope of earth” for the sake of some half-baked, spurious nationalism cooked up by people who would rather find scapegoats than solve problems is as unpatriotic as an attachment to any other tired dogma of the past that Americans consigned to the ash heap of history.

Looks like the Dems are going down, all because of the Clintons and Obama and the Russians and Uranium.

Even Bush has raised his head from the swamp - no need, it's about to be drained.

Haha the MSM is so biased against Trump, they won't even cover the story.

 

[dbphoenix]

What story?

So, according to The Hill, Trump denies, again, that his campaign colluded with Russia and Fox News (of course) repeats it. Sounds more like continued deflection than a story.

I think people are beginning to ask can this guy really be this stupid. Surely not?



Well based on his recent outburst at some twighlight twitter hours he thinks 13% rise in UK crime is related to terrorists.

He then states "we must keep America safe" by I assume promoting more gun culture so they can protect them selves against this fear in their heads.


Somebody should tell him more Americans are shot dead by toddlers than terrorists.

Trump's tweets, are usually denounced at the time of publication by the left, but the tweets often strangely turn out to be true.

Until the FACTS are known behind this headline, I think we can safely assume the tweet to be true.

By referring to keeping Americans safe - I assume that is related to the travel ban countries list, a sensible policy to protect one's country from extremists, nothing to do with gun law.

 

[Pat494]

I think it is clear what Trump is after and that is a similar position that Putin now occupies in Russia. The Parliament in Russia has few powers and can be ignored by the president. Trump seems to be saying that he has such public support that he would like to dispense with Congress if he could.
Lives in his own little delusional world. But If he can secure a victory or a success he will get nearer that goal. A victory over mad Kim could just be that opportunity.

The fact that MSM are not reporting the story at all, suggests that maybe they are protecting certain politicians -does it not?

In order to make that assumption, you'd have to list all his tweets then divide them into what was later determined to be true or false.

Please let us know how your work progresses.

Or it suggests that there's no story, just more of the usual deflection. What exactly does a seven-year-old story involving the Canadians have to do with Trump's alleged collusion with Russia to fix the 2016 election?

The Hill is reasonably well-balanced. If there's anything to report, I'm sure they'll report it.
